My husband and I stayed at Fort Arabesque for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted & more. The staff was very respectful and professional. It was very clean and sanitary all around. We loved it so much that we added an extra day to our stay. The food was excellent, especially at Club 159 and The Pavillion. We stayed at the Swim Up Villa, which was very quiet and relaxing with privacy. This was the best decision we made when choosing a resort to stay in for our honeymoon.

We were a party of 13 traveling together. Pros -great location and nice beach -lunch and dinner at beach grill was amazing with fresh baked pita bread -excellent New Year’s Eve celebration -entertainment staff were amazing! They worked hard ensuring we were having a good time Cons - drinks were not good, with most bar tenders unfamiliar with making cocktails -buffets mainly had the same things every day -rooms were outdated -Wi-Fi was horrible, limited to a very slow and inconsistent service in the lobby

Just back from a 10-day vacation at the Fort. My husband and I have been regular guests for years but I must say, this time was by far THE BEST. Food is as good as always, no issues whatsoever. The Indian food station in the West Bay restaurant was my favorite 😍. The service has always been great, but I can clearly see improvement this time. The West Bay restaurant staff is amazing, they do their best to make everyone happy. The beach bar staff is great even in busy days, specially Yasser. The new animation team is amazing, specially Pável and Yulier from Cuba. Lastly, I’d like to thank Mr. Beshoy Victor for the quick check in and for all his help. Thank u Fort Arabesque team, can’t wait to be back to paradise ❤️

Beautiful hotel and great spot for snorkelling . I will recommend to go for premium inclusive if you wish to enjoy all facilities as long as you don t have young kids accompanying you . The only downside is on my day of arrival at the beach I had 16 people visiting us trying to sell some spa treatments some tours some diving lessons etc … it was the most annoying thing especially when you pay to have some relaxing time . It is for sure extremely unfair . Except this staff are polite and courteous . We paid for premium inclusive on supplement but we still stick to our familial suite instead to be upgraded for a villa … make sure when you book to be wiser than us with the hotels options !
