What guests think
At Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas, guests highlight the well‑kept grounds, beachfront with an excellent house reef for easy snorkeling, multiple pools, and generally friendly service, plus good food that some rate outstanding in à la carte venues.
Cleanliness and maintenance are widely praised in public areas and many rooms, though a few accommodations feel dated. Common downsides include inconsistent cocktails, occasional pressure from beach vendors, and a sunbed or umbrella reservation culture that can make preferred spots hard to secure. Wi‑Fi is repeatedly reported as limited or unreliable, and experiences can differ between villa guests and others. Overall, expect a relaxing, beach‑focused stay with excellent snorkeling and generally strong staff and food.

Facilities
Expansive, well‑kept grounds with multiple pools (some heated), a long sandy beach with a house reef, adult‑only areas, and many bars and restaurants; spa treatments are appreciated though the salon gets mixed feedback. Several note sunbed or umbrella reservations and that tennis and fitness may incur fees; Premium All Inclusive offers wider access.

A January gem. Not too busy. Spotlessly clean. Well maintained. Beautiful gardens. Polite, helpful, obliging staff. Amazing food. Very well managed. Great for adults only at this time of year. Nice beach. Plenty of sunbeds around the pools and on the beach.

Pænt hotel med mange stille steder og flot have. Buffe var ok, Club 159 havde super mad. Skal betale for tennis og fitness. Utroligt at gæster får lov til at resevere solsenge. Troded de fleste hoteller havde forbudt det. Skulle stå op kl.7 for at få plads ved den opvarmet pool eller en solseng på stranden. Der lå håndklæder overalt. Persolnale taler Tysk til en selvom man svare på engelsk. Boede i West Bay og mærkeligt at man ikke kunne bestille taxi der, men skulle og i den anden afdeling. Det havde taget 1 min for personalet at bestille den.

Beautiful grounds well kept, house reef for snorkling , free oarking as we had our own car and planty restaurants and bars to choose from. Only rhing we missed some snacks for our drinks around 5 before going up to the room to shower and get ready for the evening. Some simple chips or peanuts would have done the job

Das Hotel bietet insgesamt ein sehr angenehmes Urlaubserlebnis mit einigen Highlights und wenigen Schwächen. Pool & Anlage: Die Poollandschaft ist schön gestaltet und in sehr gutem Zustand. Teilweise sind die Pools sogar beheizt, was besonders angenehm ist. Die gesamte Anlage ist weitläufig und gepflegt, sodass trotz voller Auslastung kein Gedränge entsteht. Man findet immer ruhige Plätze zum Entspannen. Strand & Meer: Das Meer ist ein Traum für Schnorchler. Das Riff ist intakt, und es wird großen Wert auf dessen Schutz gelegt. Die Lifeguards achten darauf, dass Gäste verantwortungsvoll damit umgehen – ein Pluspunkt für Nachhaltigkeit. Essen & Getränke: Das Buffet bietet ordentliche Qualität und eine gute Auswahl. Die À-la-carte-Restaurants sind jedoch das absolute Highlight: hervorragende Qualität und geschmacklich top. Hier lohnt sich Premium All Inclusive definitiv. Bei den Getränken gibt es allerdings Schwankungen. Manche Cocktails waren schlecht gemixt oder wenig liebevoll zubereitet, was den Gesamteindruck etwas trübt. Service & Personal: Das Personal ist überwiegend freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leider merkt man deutlich, dass guter Service oft vom Trinkgeld abhängt. Einige Mitarbeiter wirkten weniger motiviert, was schade ist. Wellness & Spa: Das Spa ist sehr angenehm eingerichtet, und die Massagen sind absolut empfehlenswert – entspannend und professionell. Der Beauty-Salon hingegen war sein Geld nicht wirklich wert.

It was 14 years since we last stayed at Fort Arabesque. We knew it was a good hotel but it has improved in so many ways since we last visited. The facilities, grounds and beach are fabulous. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I’ve now stayed 3 times at ‘The Fort’ and I’m sure I’ll be back.

Wonderful stay. Immaculate hotel, lots of food choices and plenty to do. Beach is great, you can spend days just snorkelling in the bay! Only downside - like most places in Egypt - is the constant sales pestering, but they are polite when you turn them away. The hotel is making loads more upgrades too, so will definitely return!

Since the moment of arrival, the check in took less than 10 minutes. We're given a first floor room. Very spacious room, clean with a sea view. We used the two pools in front of our room. The beach is fantastic with some corals and plenty of small colourful fish. Food was excellent and a huge variety of fresh plates. All local drinks were available and served everywhere. Excellent friendly staff. We'll surely return back.

Two complex away from each other..one only for adults and another one for families so if you have a big group make sure that you stay together. Umbrella by reservations only you can't find a good spot on the beach or only if you pay 85 euro per day to have a good spot....food variety is limited and not tasty. Overpriced and not worst at all. Nerve come back again.

My husband and I stayed at Fort Arabesque for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted & more. The staff was very respectful and professional. It was very clean and sanitary all around. We loved it so much that we added an extra day to our stay. The food was excellent, especially at Club 159 and The Pavillion. We stayed at the Swim Up Villa, which was very quiet and relaxing with privacy. This was the best decision we made when choosing a resort to stay in for our honeymoon.

Magnifique hôtel, d’une propreté irréprochable et des extérieurs très bien entretenus. Buffet excellent Personnels aux petits soins , mention spéciale au serveur Hatem et à Ramadan pour le nettoyage de notre chambre 452 . Mais le gros + de cet hôtel : le récif Coraline à quelques brasses du bord avec des poissons de toutes les couleurs en snorkling ou en plongée sous marine . J’ai préféré le club de plongée à gauche de l’hôtel : Diving Océan: gérante d’une extrême gentillesse et parle le français . Sorties en bateau en petits groupes , maxi 8 .

Struttura grande con tantissimo verde e direttamente sul mare. La barriera corallina è letteralmente attaccata alla spiaggia, il mare è cristallino. Il resort è davvero bello, le camere sono spaziose ma necessitano di maggiore pulizia. Il cibo è davvero buonissimo, in particolare quello egiziano e la sera ci sono sempre degli spettacoli. Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile, quasi nessuno parla italiano perché questo resort è frequentato principalmente da tedeschi e inglesi (noi parliamo inglese quindi nessun problema). Ha diversi servizi come farmacia, area shopping, palestra ecc. Molto consigliato!

Il resort è davvero bello, le camere sono spaziose ma necessitano di maggiore pulizia. Il cibo è davvero buonissimo, in particolare quello egiziano e la sera ci sono sempre degli spettacoli. Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile, quasi nessuno parla italiano perché questo resort è frequentato principalmente da tedeschi e inglesi (noi parliamo inglese quindi nessun problema). Ha diversi servizi come farmacia, area shopping, palestra ecc. Molto consigliato!

Das Fort Arabesque ist ein hervorragendes Hotel, optisch und servicetechnisch 1a. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem, es gab keinerlei Probleme. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, fast alle können Englisch und sehr viele auch Deutsch. Das Hotel ist definitiv weiterzuempfehlen und wir werden es in Zukunft sehr wahrscheinlich noch einmal besuchen.

My husband and I stayed at Fort Arabesque for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted & more. The staff was very respectful and professional. It was very clean and sanitary all around. We loved it so much that we added an extra day to our stay. The food was excellent, especially at Club 159 and The Pavillion. We stayed at the Swim Up Villa, which was very quiet and relaxing with privacy. This was the best decision we made when choosing a resort to stay in for our honeymoon.

Das Hotel bietet insgesamt ein sehr angenehmes Urlaubserlebnis mit einigen Highlights und wenigen Schwächen. Pool & Anlage: Die Poollandschaft ist schön gestaltet und in sehr gutem Zustand. Teilweise sind die Pools sogar beheizt, was besonders angenehm ist. Die gesamte Anlage ist weitläufig und gepflegt, sodass trotz voller Auslastung kein Gedränge entsteht. Man findet immer ruhige Plätze zum Entspannen. Strand & Meer: Das Meer ist ein Traum für Schnorchler. Das Riff ist intakt, und es wird großen Wert auf dessen Schutz gelegt. Die Lifeguards achten darauf, dass Gäste verantwortungsvoll damit umgehen – ein Pluspunkt für Nachhaltigkeit. Essen & Getränke: Das Buffet bietet ordentliche Qualität und eine gute Auswahl. Die À-la-carte-Restaurants sind jedoch das absolute Highlight: hervorragende Qualität und geschmacklich top. Hier lohnt sich Premium All Inclusive definitiv. Bei den Getränken gibt es allerdings Schwankungen. Manche Cocktails waren schlecht gemixt oder wenig liebevoll zubereitet, was den Gesamteindruck etwas trübt. Service & Personal: Das Personal ist überwiegend freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leider merkt man deutlich, dass guter Service oft vom Trinkgeld abhängt. Einige Mitarbeiter wirkten weniger motiviert, was schade ist. Wellness & Spa: Das Spa ist sehr angenehm eingerichtet, und die Massagen sind absolut empfehlenswert – entspannend und professionell. Der Beauty-Salon hingegen war sein Geld nicht wirklich wert.

Ich habe noch kein Hotel in der Makadi Bay erlebt das eine solch schlechte Kommikation zwischen Gästen und Personal hat. Selbst am letzten Tag, warteten wir um 09:00 Uhr vergeblich auf unsere Abholung. Die Guest relation und Rezeption hat schicht vergessen dies weiter zu geben. Nur ein kurze Bewertung. Ein Wiederkommen kommt für uns aktuell nicht mehr in Frage. Hierfür müssten allen Baustellen fertig sein. Das neue Restaurant für die Villa Gäste ( aktuell völlig überbucht) muss fertig werden. Und der GM sollte lernen auch ein seinen zahlenden Gästen , Guten Tag zu sagen.

Just back from a 10-day vacation at the Fort. My husband and I have been regular guests for years but I must say, this time was by far THE BEST. Food is as good as always, no issues whatsoever. The Indian food station in the West Bay restaurant was my favorite 😍. The service has always been great, but I can clearly see improvement this time. The West Bay restaurant staff is amazing, they do their best to make everyone happy. The beach bar staff is great even in busy days, specially Yasser. The new animation team is amazing, specially Pável and Yulier from Cuba. Lastly, I’d like to thank Mr. Beshoy Victor for the quick check in and for all his help. Thank u Fort Arabesque team, can’t wait to be back to paradise ❤️

Wonderful stay. Immaculate hotel, lots of food choices and plenty to do. Beach is great, you can spend days just snorkelling in the bay! Only downside - like most places in Egypt - is the constant sales pestering, but they are polite when you turn them away. The hotel is making loads more upgrades too, so will definitely return!

Since the moment of arrival, the check in took less than 10 minutes. We're given a first floor room. Very spacious room, clean with a sea view. We used the two pools in front of our room. The beach is fantastic with some corals and plenty of small colourful fish. Food was excellent and a huge variety of fresh plates. All local drinks were available and served everywhere. Excellent friendly staff. We'll surely return back.

Magnifique hôtel, d’une propreté irréprochable et des extérieurs très bien entretenus. Buffet excellent Personnels aux petits soins , mention spéciale au serveur Hatem et à Ramadan pour le nettoyage de notre chambre 452 . Mais le gros + de cet hôtel : le récif Coraline à quelques brasses du bord avec des poissons de toutes les couleurs en snorkling ou en plongée sous marine . J’ai préféré le club de plongée à gauche de l’hôtel : Diving Océan: gérante d’une extrême gentillesse et parle le français . Sorties en bateau en petits groupes , maxi 8 .

Dining
Food earns strong praise for quality and variety, with à la carte venues like Club 159 and The Pavillion standing out; Premium All Inclusive is valued by some. Recurrent negatives include repetitive buffets and inconsistent cocktails, with a few finding the food limited.

Beautiful hotel and great spot for snorkelling . I will recommend to go for premium inclusive if you wish to enjoy all facilities as long as you don t have young kids accompanying you . The only downside is on my day of arrival at the beach I had 16 people visiting us trying to sell some spa treatments some tours some diving lessons etc … it was the most annoying thing especially when you pay to have some relaxing time . It is for sure extremely unfair . Except this staff are polite and courteous . We paid for premium inclusive on supplement but we still stick to our familial suite instead to be upgraded for a villa … make sure when you book to be wiser than us with the hotels options !

Two complex away from each other..one only for adults and another one for families so if you have a big group make sure that you stay together. Umbrella by reservations only you can't find a good spot on the beach or only if you pay 85 euro per day to have a good spot....food variety is limited and not tasty. Overpriced and not worst at all. Nerve come back again.
