Hello! This is a question for those of you familiar with Hurghada. My fiance and I are planning a mini-honeymoon (5 nights) after we are married in July. We've already visited Sharm and Dahab so we were thinking of Hurghada this time. I like the looks of the Marriott Hurghada Resort and the Conrad Hurghada Resort. Of course, it's always hard to tell on the internet... they make every hotel look 4 or 5 star. Any help from someone who is familiar with one/both (or another place that's similar) would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Marriott and Conrad are both very nice hotels.... Marriott is a tiny bit off the beaten track.. the road bypasses it over the other side of the hill.. about 10 mins walk to get a bus into town.. Conrad is a bit further south.. on the bus route.. probably 20 mins by bus to town centre.. but buses are very frequent!! I would say they are both equally nice... maybe my friend Semsema can enlighten you a bit more.. she works for hotel guest relations and knows a lot more than me.... she will probably read this tomorrow. I hope you have a lovely stay.. I've lived in Hurghada 2 years now and I love it! Posted by american gal (Member # 7382) on :
Samia, That's good to know, thank you. We were leaning towards the Conrad and it's even a bit cheaper (so that works)!! We're really looking forward to our visit to Hurghada. We loved our stays in Sharm and Dahab, so I'm sure Hurghada will be right up there. Thanks again.

Hi there,
Yes I would agree with Samia, the Conrad may be your better bet. Reports are very good.
Let us know what you decide and if there is any other help I can give just let me know.
I'm sure you will have a great holiday.

I'm pretty sure we've decided on the Conrad. It's good to hear your positive report. I'm really looking forward to relaxing in the sun (where I live right now it is averaging 20 degrees below normal so I'm freezing!!). Also looking forward to exploring Hurghada.... Thanks!!!!
