Most Romantic Hotels in Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai

The luxury Premier Le Reve Hotel & Spa offers a large property with six pools, five restaurants, and a private beachfront location -- all without kids, as it’s an adult-only property. The 372 rooms are modern and differ in decor but have all the amenities needed like minibars, kettles, and balconies. A spa, all-inclusive meal plans, and free Wi-Fi and parking are great additional perks. However, with a location that 40 minutes by car from Hurghada, guests are limited to the hotel and its amenities most of the time. Families might want to consider the Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel which allows kids, has a golf course, and is closer to  Hurghada. 

Baron Palace Sahl Hasheeh is a family-friendly, upscale oceanfront property that’s 30 minutes south of Hurghada International Airport. With the resort's 12 restaurants and bars, free breakfast, and all-inclusive options, guests stay well-fed while enjoying the private beach, busy infinity pool, spa, modern gym, outdoor tennis courts, and kids’ play areas. The 644 rooms feel a bit less luxe than the public spaces but have good amenities like flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and kettles. Welcome bowls of fruit are a lovely touch and Swim-Up Suites have access to an adult-only pool. For those who prefer an adult-only property, consider the nearby Premier Le Reve Hotel & Spa. 

Crowded and busy are the two words that come to mind at the mention of four-pearl SENTIDO Mamlouk Palace. It’s an all-inclusive property featuring a beautiful swimming pool and beachfront access on a traditionally-designed Arabian property. Entertainment for all ages, a spa, and eight restaurants attract lots of visitors making for long wait queues, poor service in restaurants, and difficulty finding sun loungers. Rooms are simple and spacious with great balconies, but they have dated elements like tube-style TVs. While the all-inclusive rate covers most food and drinks, there are some time limitations and reports of poor food quality. For couples who want to book a quieter resort with an adult-only policy in the Hurghada resort area (about a 20-minute drive from the city), consider SUNRISE Holidays Resort. 

The 79-room Romance Sahl Hashesh is an upscale, adult-only property set on an appealing stretch of golden sand a 30-minute drive south from the Hurghada International Airport. The well-appointed rooms have a classic, stately feel, and furnished terraces, most of which overlook the sea. Marble bathrooms, minibars, desks, and kettles also come standard. On-site facilities include three restaurants, several bars, and a small gym and spa. All-inclusive packages are available. An outdoor swimming pool is pleasant, if underwhelming, and most guests spend their time at the beach. Travelers looking for a kid-friendly alternative should consider the Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh, which has a kids' club, three pools, and restaurants serving a variety of cuisines. 

The Sunrise Select Garden Beach Resort & Spa is a three-and-a-half-pearl resort along the Red Sea coast in Hurghada. It has private beachfront access and is just a 16-minute drive from the airport. The grounds are extensive with three swimming pools and an Aqua Park along with features like a fitness center, spa, event facilities, and several sports/activities facilities. Rates are all-inclusive with five restaurants and seven bars from which to choose. Both kids and adults are kept entertained with the daily entertainment programs from the animation team. The 480 rooms are fairly standard with underwhelming decor and amenities like minibars, private balconies, and free Wi-Fi. Travelers can also consider the neighboring resort, Sunrise Grand Select Crystal Bay Resort, with similar features at slightly lower rates.

The beachfront Old Palace Resort is a four-pearl, all-inclusive property set on the Sahl Hasheesh Bay, about a 40-minute drive to Hurghada. A myriad of features include two outdoor pools, spa and fitness facilities, a kids' club, varied dining options, free breakfast, and several bars/lounges. The palm-dotted grounds are lovely, as are the hotel's public spaces, but guest room decor -- and some of the amenities and bathroom fixtures -- could use an update. Rooms are clean and pleasant nonetheless, and all have balconies. Travelers might want to upgrade to Chalet Rooms for fresher decor and better bathrooms. Internet here is another downside, as Wi-Fi costs extra and is reportedly spotty. For better rooms, check out the Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh -- though rates here are more expensive.

This all-inclusive upper-middle-range resort impresses with its colorful palatial architecture and arabesque interiors located in a touristy area full of other resorts and about a six-minute ride via free shuttle to the beach. Situated on extensive grounds with six outdoor pools, there are plenty of dining options and bars here, as well as a spa, kids' club, and day and evening entertainment. The 222 guest rooms, though a bit tired, are clean and spacious, each equipped with a private balcony or patio, as well as flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but bathrooms could use an update and there is no in-room Wi-Fi (plus the free connection in the lobby is slow and weak). For an all-inclusive on the beach, check out the Dana Beach Resort. 

The four-pearl SUNRISE Holidays Resort is an all-inclusive adult-only resort situated on a private lagoon beach in Hurghda. The private beach includes sun loungers, water-sport activities, and a scuba center. The 380 rooms and suites are pleasant and include standard amenities like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Most of the rooms have lovely sea views from private balconies. With the resort's five all-inclusive restaurants and eight bars, guests stay well-fed while enjoying the private beach, busy outdoor pool, cozy spa, fitness center, game room, and daily entertainment from the animation team. Some of the facilities are out-of-style, but rates are incredibly low. For those who prefer a kid-friendly resort, consider the nearby Baron Palace Sahl Hasheesh, also with all-inclusive options.

The Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel is a luxury hotel that makes use of its beachfront setting with leisure activities that focus on families. With a full-service spa, two outdoor pools, dive center, private beach, and international conference center, this property provides it all. The nine restaurants, bars, and a nightclub provide diverse cuisines and entertainment, though most are smoking-friendly which may be a drawback. The 388 stately rooms all have balconies, flat-screen TVs, and minibars (which are free in suites). The biggest downside is that Wi-Fi isn’t free in rooms, unless booked with all-inclusive rates which also include meals. As an alternative, the Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh offers free Wi-Fi and hosts more couples than kids. 

This all-inclusive, four-pearl resort occupies beautiful, palm tree-studded grounds and a large stretch of private beach along the Red Sea, about 30 minutes from downtown Hurghada. While its location is isolated, many on-site amenities, from the four restaurants to the six pools, live shows, spa with Turkish bath, and water activities keep guests entertained. Babysitting services, kids’ menus and a play area make it especially child-friendly. Interiors are clean but could use some refurbishing, and pesky fees apply for in-room Wi-Fi, but all 912 rooms have balconies offering lovely garden, pool, or beach views, plus mini-fridges and shower/tub combos. The beachfront Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel has more stylish interiors, but higher rates.
