When leaving these reviews, sometimes you have to think about what you paid versus—what you actually received. Then at the same time, look at what their competitors like Serenity, KAI and others in Sahl Hasheesh are charging.
Therefore, for approximately £50 per night, with a buffet breakfast included and a free shuttle to the beach, AJIRA is good value for money resort.
AJIRA is a 10 minute walk from the seaside, but the actual patch of beach that you will want to use (sun-loungers, beach service etc) is a 25 minute walk, or waiting for their shuttle aka black limo service (tame your expectations about limos).
Ahmed, who was on the day-shift, really cares about getting every detail right for every guest. Then you have men like Taha (beach server), Farhan (breakfast server) & the senior pool server who are keen and committed.
On the negative side, the quality of the food at the restaurant is very poor. On our first night, we had our dinner in the restaurant and every bite was unpleasant. We never went back!
At breakfast time, there is a lot of variety, but we learnt to always go for cooked omelettes, plus any eggplant dish. Falafels, white cheese, rye bread, were generally good too.
Lots of things were faulty, like the room door/key card system, lukewarm fridge, safe and defunct telephone. However, the genuine will to fix these issues was evident from all the staff we encountered.
I would encourage you to tip your service well in EGP - NOT LOOSE EU COINS!
