Which resort hotel to choose in Egypt for a December or New Year vacation?

Based on 2 discussions with 6 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago

TL;DR

For a December/New Year trip, travelers most often compare Rixos (adults only), Swissotel (adults zone), Monte Mare, Sunrise Montemare and Swiss Inn — the right pick depends on whether you're traveling with kids, and whether a heated pool and wind protection matter to you.

What the community said

Swiss Inn is being considered based on glowing reviews, but it's worth double-checking recent guest feedback before booking, since online reviews don't always match the real experience for a specific season.

For a trip with 2 adults and 2 kids in December, it's worth comparing several hotels side by side and checking which ones are not suitable for family travel with children.

Sunrise Montemare is often compared with similarly priced hotels for November stays — when prices are close, infrastructure and other travelers' reviews become the deciding factor.

For a family with kids aged 5 and 8 traveling in December, it's recommended to check other guests' recent impressions of a specific hotel rather than relying only on the booking site description.

Monte Mare is being considered for a December trip with a 7-year-old, but it doesn't have the reputation of a very kid-friendly resort — it's worth checking for a kids' pool, entertainment program and kids' club before booking.

For the New Year holidays, it's best to pick hotels sheltered from wind with a heated pool — this matters because open-air pools in Egypt can get cold in late December.

For early December, travelers compare Rixos (adults-only) and Swissotel with a separate adults-only zone — both are geared toward a quiet vacation without kids.
