We lived in the Sphinx Hotel as a family of three (my wife and I and our 17 year old daughter).
The hotel is on the same territory as the hotel "King Tut", right on the seashore.

We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, at 10 we were already settled without any additional payments.
The room was given a double and put extra. bed with mattress. The room has a side view of the sea and a mountain opposite the balcony.
The room is not bad, clean, everything works, the bed is clean, cleaning is good.

The food is delicious, not very varied, but restaurants often run out of places and run out of dishes. More or less everything is fine in the restaurant on the beach of the hotel "Sphinx". Dinner there must be booked at the reception of the King Tut Hotel. But it's worth doing, there is good food, service and there are always places and utensils.

The pool is a normal one at the Sphinx hotel, clean but not heated.

The water park, if you can call it that, is just four slides, but they are not steep and the water is heated.

The beach is not bad, but there are not enough sun loungers for everyone, besides, half of them are broken and in terrible condition.
Coca Cola in bars is often diluted, bottled and non-alcoholic beer, glasses in bars are washed very poorly and they are very small, about 150 ml. But they willingly pour into their own containers, so you can buy your own glasses, as we and many others did in this hotel.

To the right of the hotel, about 500 meters away, there is a shopping center "City Centr" with a large grocery supermarket with fixed prices "Carrefour", where you can buy glasses and much more. .

The reef with fish is good, there is something to see. I would say that the reef is one of the most picturesque and diverse among the hotels in Hurghada.

Entry into the sea, there is a sandy smooth one, there is a descent from the pier. Very comfortably. Safety shoes are not required.

Animation is fun, interesting, unobtrusive. The guys are trying, in the evenings there are interesting shows in the amphitheater.

In general, we were satisfied with the rest, not counting some shortcomings. We went on two excursions that smoothed out the shortcomings, so we left in a great mood!
We filmed a video about our stay at this hotel, which can be viewed on our youtube channel Vacheslav TES by clicking on this link:
