Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh – I mean, you’ve seen one Red Sea resort, you’ve seen them all, right? But this place actually surprised me in ways I didn’t see coming. The whole Sahl Hasheesh area is about 20 minutes south of Hurghada’s main drag, which means you’re far enough from the tourist chaos but close enough to grab a taxi into town when you want some real Egyptian street food (though honestly, the hotel food is pretty solid).

What struck me first was how they’ve managed to keep that authentic Egyptian feel without going overboard with the pharaoh kitsch – you know what I mean, those places that look like a theme park threw up all over them. The architecture here feels more… well, respectful, I guess. The lobby’s got these gorgeous mashrabiya screens that actually serve a purpose, filtering the harsh afternoon sun into these beautiful geometric patterns on the marble floors. And speaking of floors, they’re always spotless, which is no small feat when you’ve got guests tracking in Red Sea sand all day long. The staff genuinely seems to care about the place – I watched the same guy carefully arranging the lobby flowers every morning, and honestly, those little touches matter more than you’d think.

The location in Block 33 B might sound clinical, but it’s actually perfect if you want to explore the real Sahl Hasheesh development. There’s this lovely marina walk about ten minutes away where locals go for evening strolls, and the beach here is legitimately some of the best coral reef access I’ve found along this stretch of coast. The water’s crystal clear, and unlike some of the more northern beaches, it doesn’t get that churned-up sandy look from too many boats. You can snorkel right off the beach, which saves you from those overcrowded boat trips. The pool area gets pretty lively around 11 AM when families start claiming their spots, but if you’re an early riser like me, you can have the whole place to yourself with just the sound of water features and the occasional call to prayer drifting over from the nearby village – it’s actually quite peaceful. Check-in was smooth, they had my room ready even though I arrived stupidly early, and the guy at reception gave me these insider tips about which restaurants in the area locals actually eat at (spoiler: not the obvious tourist traps). That 8.6 rating isn’t just inflated review scores – this place genuinely delivers on the five-star promise without making you feel like you’re in some sterile luxury bubble.

  I had a fantastic experience at Tropitel – Sahl Hasheesh Hotel. The location is stunning, right on the beach with beautiful sea views. The staff were friendly and professional, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the food was delicious with plenty of variety. The pool, private beach, and spa made the stay even more relaxing. Great value for money — highly recommended

  We had a fantastic time at Tropitel. The kids enjoyed the entertainment, the food was great, and the room was very comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: We were on an all-inclusive package, the afternoon snacks could've had more variety. The cocktails could also be better.

• Amr from United States – 1 May 2025 (9/10)

  Staff were attentive and friendly. Property is in a nice spot, offered excursions, had good food, and is well cared for. We enjoyed the gym, the walking paths, the pool, just everything about the Tropitel.
  
  What could be improved: We had a learning curve about the light switches inside the door. We did not know they worked the “do not disturb” sign. Also, would have liked to have seen more sanitary practices in the gym as people didn’t know to wipe the equipment down after use.
