What is the food like at all-inclusive resorts in Egypt, and which à la carte restaurants are worth booking?

For a late departure, do not assume you will still be able to eat after check-out: one traveler was refused both a room extension and the option to pay separately for lunch. If your flight is in the evening, confirm wristband and meal access rules in advance for departure day.

Guests were allowed to have breakfast right after arrival, before check-in, and the breakfast spread was described as very large. That is useful if you land early and want to know whether food is available before your room is ready.

The main buffet was rated very highly, with tasty food and a good overall selection, and desserts stood out in particular. One traveler even felt the sweets were better than at some pricier hotels in Sharm.

Among the à la carte options, the Turkish and Italian restaurants got the strongest feedback. Even so, one guest still thought the main restaurant was tastier and more consistent overall.

Alcohol was rated more modestly, roughly 4 out of 5. For many guests, food was a strong point of the resort, while drinks were more average.
