Bel Air Azur (Adults Only 18+)

Very good hotel Very nice & helpful animation team

Check-In – 9/10 Check-in was quick and straightforward. I didn’t have to wait long before being shown to my room, and the staff helped with my bags. I also liked that I was given a choice of room location, either on the ground floor near the pool or on an upper floor with a balcony. I chose the balcony room and was glad I did. Food Breakfast and dinner were served buffet-style, while lunch was made to order. Lunch options included pizzas where you could choose your own toppings, as well as hot dogs. As Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, there was no pork available. One feature I particularly enjoyed was the self-service ice cream machine, with flavours changing every couple of days. Drinks I don’t drink alcohol, so I can’t comment on that aspect. However, I found the juices refreshing and appreciated that they weren’t overly sweet, which can often be the case at all-inclusive resorts. Rooms The rooms are quite dated and have a traditional European feel, but they were comfortable and, most importantly, had excellent air conditioning. As someone who struggles to sleep when it’s too warm, this made a big difference. Housekeeping was excellent, with fresh towels and bed linen changed daily. I also enjoyed the creative towel animals left by the cleaning team. Solo Female Traveller Perspective For context, I am a Black woman from Brighton, UK, so experiences may vary. Overall, I encountered very little hassle compared to stories I’ve heard from some of my white friends who have visited Egypt in the past. I also dress fairly conservatively by UK standards as a Christian, but I did notice some looks when wearing a one-piece swimsuit during a day by the pool. I received polite service throughout my stay and always felt safe leaving and returning to the hotel. However, I did notice that poolside service was somewhat limited. Unlike other guests, I wasn’t offered towels at the pool or asked whether I would like drinks refreshed, though staff remained courteous at all times. Facilities The pool was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of my stay. There was a large main pool alongside a much shallower pool. The breakfast area had a cafeteria-style setup, while dinner was served poolside and lunch was available at the opposite end of the pool area. The lobby was a lovely place to relax, socialise, or simply watch the world go by. The entertainment team worked hard to keep guests engaged, organising activities ranging from pool volleyball to giant draughts-style games near the outdoor bar. Overall Experience – 7/10 Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would rate the hotel 7/10. My main criticism is that many of the extras felt expensive when compared with local prices. Coming from a multicultural city like Brighton, many of the services on offer are available at home for less. For example, I can get a massage in Brighton for around £30, so I personally wouldn’t travel abroad to pay more than that. That said, the hotel was clean, safe, comfortable, and had excellent facilities. If you’re looking for a relaxing poolside holiday in a secure environment, it’s certainly worth considering. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5 Walkability We are on the main high road and therefore all the bustle is right on our doorstep. If you want to visit the sea or even the town centre you definitely can walk it. Noteworthy details Please note I am black and female and solo so your experience may be different

We have just stayed in this hotel for a week, my initial thoughts when entering the hotel, definitely needs updating, looks very tired. Food is good although the selection could be a little better, drinks are OK, but some of drinks you’d normally find in an all inclusive menu, are extra? for example: Piña colada 🤷‍♂️ Our room: leaking toilet, stains all over the plastic shower doors, layers and layers of mastic cover up everywhere, sink plug didn’t open or shut, toilet flush mechanism very loose, damp stains on the walls, just really run down and in need of a revamp. Genuinely feels like the hotel was built in the 70’s and hasn’t been updated since, just touched up when needed. I wouldn’t rate the hotel as a 4* I’d be pushed to give it a 3* Evening entertainment was OK, two out of the 7 evening were really good. the others we didn’t hang around for. Staff are friendly and helpful, excursions were good too.

My stay at Bell Air Azur Hurghada was really good. Clean rooms, helpful staff, and a smooth check-in. Food was decent with enough variety. Big thanks to the animation team — they were energetic, friendly, and made the stay much more fun with daily activities and shows. Definitely added a great vibe to the hotel.

Amazing service and hospitality. Loved the all inclusive package which includes foods drinks unlimited. Every evening from 8.30 pm there is entertainment waiting for you, we enjoyed the Brazilian dance. With private beach and beautiful reef you enjoy the snorkelling and swimming. Also enjoy calmness at night. Location is perfect with all shops at same road. Highly recommend to everyone.
