Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
TL;DR
All-inclusive restaurants in Sharm el-Sheikh often serve small portions, especially for families with children. Staff are polite but food quality is mediocre.
What the community said
Families with children face strict portion control: snack bars give out just 2 small pizza squares and 2 mini pancakes per person, with meat portions around 3 cm. Feeding a whole family requires multiple trips through the queue. European guests reportedly receive noticeably larger portions without issue.

The beach restaurant is open and welcoming — no one is turned away, and staff are notably polite and attentive. However, food quality is mediocre: guests end up eating whatever was not available at the main dinner buffet, meaning the selection is limited.

Paying extra for hotel dining is not worth it when travelling with children — kids are more interested in swimming and playing than sitting at a restaurant. Food can be brought to the pool or beach area if needed.
