Movenpick Resort El Quseir

Arrival Our stay began with a small, amusing moment: the first staff member frowned at me because I wanted to take my luggage to the reception myself. That was the first and last frown I saw during the entire stay.

Accommodation Before the trip, I emailed the hotel requesting a specific accommodation block. They replied that they had noted my request. Honestly, I didn’t expect much. But upon arrival, they referred directly to my email and assigned me exactly the room I had asked for. They even called the room afterward to confirm that everything was satisfactory.

I had booked a Premium Sea View room. It was beautiful, modern, and fully equipped – coffee machine, kettle, tea selection. Housekeeping was excellent and consistently replenished everything needed.

Dining – A Culinary Heaven The main restaurant Orangerie offers buffet-style dining, but it is far above the usual buffet standard.

Breakfast: an enormous selection. Coffee and tea are served by the staff, which eliminates the typical morning queues at coffee machines.

Egg station: after a few days, the chef remembers your preferences and prepares your favorite style with a smile.

Lunch: varied and high-quality dishes.

Dinner: a different themed cuisine every evening – Asian, Egyptian, Swiss, etc. And if a theme doesn’t suit you, there is always a classic option available.

Al Fresco Restaurant A wonderful alternative to the main restaurant. À la carte dining, excellent ingredients, and a pleasant atmosphere. On my birthday, the staff surprised me with a cake and a warm congratulation. A very thoughtful gesture.

Bars The pool and beach bars offer a wide selection of drinks. After two or three days, the staff already knows your preferred drink and simply confirms it.

Sea & Snorkeling The sea is truly breathtaking. Even from the beach, you can see a rich underwater world: octopus, blue-spotted stingray, coral fish, lionfish, surgeonfish, and many more. From the jetty, the experience is even more impressive – larger rays, a moray eel, and the highlight: a young manta ray, about one meter wide, gracefully gliding through the water.

Although I hadn’t swum in deep water for about ten years, here I simply had to. The underwater world is irresistible.

Staff The staff is one of the main reasons this resort stands out. Professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. They make the stay even more enjoyable.

Bargaining It took me a moment to realize that even some services booked through the hotel (hairdresser, camel ride, etc.) can be negotiated for a better price.

Conclusion Mövenpick Resort El Quseir is a place you want to return to. Excellent accommodation, outstanding food, stunning sea life, and exceptional staff. This was definitely not my last visit.

We have stayed here many times! It has always been a wonderful experience. The resort is beautiful, the rooms comfortable and the staff is very attentive, with special mentioning Fares from the restaurant. The buffet is very diverse with a different theme every evening. The hotel cats are very cute and cuddlely!
