Ali Baba Palace

Very nice hotel placed in front of the Red Sea with breathtaking views, many restaurants and swimming pools. Crew are very nice and friendly. A lot of shows every evening. We have been there with no children but there are many places, games, aqua park and match more attractions to visit

We had fabulous week at the Ali Baba Palace Hotel in Hurghada. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome and were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was plentiful, offering a wide variety of choices that catered to all tastes. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a fun-packed day . We loved the hotel's location, as the ability to walk to nearby attractions made it very convenient. Overall, it was a great experience and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hurghada!

I was really excited to go away with my partner and it turned out we couldn't wait to get home. I feel like I was sold a Drem and it turned into a nightmare! Not only has it got pictures of restaurants on here that either was getting work done but another restaurant wasn't in functional! The one over looking the sea. Looked really romantic on the pictures on the website but in reality it wasn't even open. Didn't look part of the resort! And ow my days the building work going on was traumatic! Jack hammers going of from 7.30 am till late. Absolutely horrendous! My partner nearly broke her toe on a drain that the concrete had broken and left a rock she stumped her toe on. Have a look at the pictures! If you don't mind a room opposite this building site the good look to you. Terrible holiday! Glad to be home!

I recently stayed at Ali Baba Palace with my partner and would like to share my experience in a constructive way, highlighting both the positives and areas that could be improved: The hotel is quite large, which might be an advantage for some. In our case, we were unlucky to have a room far from the lobby, making the walks to the restaurants and other amenities somewhat tedious. I ended up with blisters on my feet from wearing sandals. However, I’d like to commend the guy driving the golf cart (I don’t remember his name), whom we often saw near the pool area. He was always friendly and helpful whenever we were lucky enough to find him available! Regarding the room, I feel the decor could use some improvement, as it felt a bit empty and outdated. The bedsheets also looked low-quality, although the room itself was spacious. We had an issue with hot water, but I appreciate that the reception staff resolved it quickly. As for the food, while there was variety, I found it a bit repetitive, and some dishes didn’t taste very good. I ended up eating the same thing every day because it was the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately, the sodas tasted diluted. On the other hand, the buffet restaurant staff were generally polite, although we witnessed some uncomfortable moments with a staff member who seemed to be speaking rudely to his coworkers, creating an unpleasant atmosphere. In contrast, the Shogun restaurant was a great experience: the service was excellent, especially thanks to the waitress there, who was very kind and friendly, and the food was much better compared to the other restaurants. The experience at the lobby bar, however, was disappointing. We often noticed waiters offering drinks to other guests while we felt ignored. They would simply pick up our empty glasses and leave, which I found discourteous and made it seem like they only served guests who tipped well. One of the bartenders was also quite rude, leaving us dissatisfied with the service in this area. Regarding entertainment, while the staff clearly tried their best, the shows were very simple and lacked excitement. The hotel is heavily focused on families with children, which is understandable, but it would be nice to see more activities or spaces catered to couples or groups of friends. The nightclub was a major disappointment: the DJ experienced technical issues, and the music failed to engage guests, who would simply walk in and leave shortly after. However, I want to highlight the efforts of the waiter at the nightclub, who did his best to create a welcoming atmosphere. Another point worth mentioning is the number of shops within the hotel. While I understand this might be cultural, the level of insistence from the vendors was uncomfortable, both in the stores and by the pool. I think a less pushy approach would encourage guests to explore the shops and potentially make purchases. The Aqua Park was one of the highlights: it’s large, has several slides, and the sta

We were on holiday for 9 days between Nov/Dec. Our stay was really good we enjoyed a lot. Staff is nice, food delicious, room clean and spacious, whole resort is big enough to have nice long walk every day ( you can also run around too) The only disappointment for me was pool, it would be much better if long part have a bit warmer water. Overall worth every penny.

We have just returned after 20 nights at Ali baba we stayed for Christmas too, we are vip gold guests and have stayed multiple times I think 7/8. We usually have an amazing stay, hence our return each time. However this year lots have changed. Which unfortunately made our stay not as good as all our previous visits. The pool bar staff have changed (these are the people that you spend alot of time seeing and interacting with everyday) , all new staff now and unfortunately their language skills are not there at all nor the service. (the old pool bar staff are now all in the oriental restaurant which is amazing) these previously made our holiday unforgettable. The new staff and pool bar service is shocking. Dirty tables, no service at all, could sit hours there and not be asked if we want a drink or take our dirty cups away. my son was shouted and swore at by one man there. Luckily my husband is Egyptian so can confront and did, after that he soon changed however if you didn't understand you would never know what he said. Our housekeeping was standard. Nothing more. As gold guests we've always had little extras, flowers on bed or fruit ect we usually tip but didn't as he some days didn't leave water or clean the sandy floor. Animation - previously were exceptionally good. This year is a new team and new to animation so they arnt quite upto standard, however all lovely people. Olivia bless her is a diamond! And cj! Emad from the ring tree always goes above and beyond for us, multiple visits and still his lovely big smile welcomes us, and all the staff and chef in there are fantastic they all know us very well. Oriental is amazing, obviously because the best staff are all now placed in there. First time trying shogun as its new, it's definitely good food, but service slow and a smile will help . I do feel that food has gone downhill slightly in the ring tree. No fresh cooking outside stir fry like before. We did for the first time ever in the hotel get sick twice and as we are Egyptian/English we do often eat out and visit local places to eat but never had to worry so much as we've stayed in multiple hotels in hurghada which Ali baba was the onky one we wasn't ill at. Unfortunately this time we was. I will say the heated pool was very over crowded, it was Xmas so was very busy. However you have huge pools, we visit all times of year. This year alone we came April May and December. You have not heated the large pool ever, which with the amount of people there it definitely needs it. Staff on reception are always fantastic Awad always sorts everything we need thank you. I will say avoid shopping in the hotel supermarket, very rude. Rips you off. Even when we know the price outside. One night charged my half Egyptian son 200le for two packs of chewing gum. He went alone as he often does, I went straight in and got 100le back. Although they shouldn't have come to more than 50le really. Be careful, cigarettes he is charging 150-200le per pack. They are in
