“The weather was to blame”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We had a good time here, but the weather wasnt too good. The workers were friendly and helpful.
When we arrived at our room i was totally disappointed and crying so loud. It was totally dirty, the water didnt go down from the bathtube, my bed wasnt ready to sleep. Family room is big but theres no sunshine and its cold at night.
On the second day we moved to another room and that was clean and lovely and made us forget the previous one.
There was no animators, only few guests... Nights were very boring!
I dont think i will go back.

Room Tip: dont choose family room! its so dark and cold winter time.

“Amazing sea & beach hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

I visit this hotel for few time already, but after not so good times during "Continental" period with Movenpick brand this pretty resort got again their shine. The biggest advantage of this hotel is good location, on private powder sandy beach with very comfortable loungers separated by paravans, private marina, artificial island and all what you need for ideal sun, sea & beach holiday. Hotel has all equipment what you will just think, from sport activities such a tennis, fitness, bowling, billiard, table tennis, horse riding, beach volleyball, football, basketball, animation activities, kids club, large swimming pool etc.
On the beach are three centers for water sports: Aqua center, Surf school and Divers lounge, all with very friendly staff and professional instructors. I strongly recommend to take a free of charge windsurfing lesson or intro of diving for charge or speed boat trip also for charge with smiley Ali and Mohamed. All staff at the beach is very helpfull and friendly.
Rooms are a bit older but well equipped and if you wanna active holiday sure you wont spent there a lot of time. Only because one thing is sometimes difficult to leave a room: very good range of TV channels and especially movie channels MBCs with the freshest movies. Tbe best advantage of rooms are large terase with amazing view, where I would imagine to sleep sometimes.
F&B service offer halfboard or all inclusive. I´d prefer half board and some light snacks from beach bar or pool bar. My day always started with quality espresso from Nespresso in Captain bar where I loved also a brilliant Movenpick ice cream. Service in restaurant and bars was during our stay even because of very high occupancy on very good level and team of Mr. Ahmed has my admiration because of it.
Anyway if some problem emerge, the staff of front desk with concierge will sure solve it. After my last experiences I was surprised by progress in this area and language skills, abilities and flexibility of the guys there who mostly replaced unflexibility of our tour guide.
Cleanings of rooms and all hotel spaces was on very high level.
Overal view, if you not mind oldness of hotel - 18years, its perfect holiday spot with great service!

Room Tip: Recommend to pay a small charge for sea view room. Amazing view from large terase is unforgotable

“Good Resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

I recommend this hotel for Honeymooners, Very relaxing atmosphere, beach is small but has a great view with marina for yachts, Food is Ok, Friendly staff
The negative point about this hotel is the animation team, rarely you can see them, night time there is very boring and it's better to go out side the hotel, however the hotel location is perfect ( In Mamsha) which has a lot of stuff do over there (shopping, Coffee shops).

Small tip for Egyptians :D, Don't Go over there in weekends (very crowded with Egyptians)

Room Tip: High Floor Centered Rooms has the best view of the beach

“Heaven on Earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

My wife, myself and a friend have just come back from a month's holiday in Egypt and we can tell you, it was wonderful. At the start of our holiday, we stopped in Cairo for 2 nights then flew to Hurghada where we spent 11 nights at the beautiful MOEVENPICK RESORT. We cannot praise this resort enough. The location is great, the grounds are magnificently manicured, the seaview from the bedrooms is heavenly. The actual building requires a bit of updating but it is still close between a 4 and 4.5 star resort. I understand from chatting to some of the staff, that during the next 12 months updating will be taking place. We cannot praise enough ALL the staff for being so caring, always cheerful, friendly and could not do enough to make our stay a memorable one. And they have succeded. Just remember that when you book this resort, always include Breakfast and Dinner.The quality of the food and the variety are both wonderful and exellent value for money.
We had the pleasure of meeting the Gen. Manag. Mr. Phillipe and I can tell you that the management of this resort is definately in Great hands.
Would we return and stay at the Moevenpick Hurghada in the future?
A DEFINATE YES!

Room Tip: make sure you select a room with a Seaview
