We recently stayed at Rewaya Majestic Resort for seven days as a family. There were definitely some positive parts of our stay, and Hurghada itself was amazing, but unfortunately we would not return to this particular resort. We arrived extremely late, at around 4am, after travelling all night. Check-in went smoothly for us and we were kindly upgraded to a Junior Suite, which we really appreciated. The suite itself was spacious and comfortable, and the blackout curtains were amazing after such a long journey. However, the view from our suite was very disappointing. We were basically overlooking construction, so although the room upgrade was appreciated, there was nothing particularly nice about the view. I want to give credit where it is deserved. The waiters, housekeeping staff and many of the other hospitality staff were absolutely lovely. They were kind, welcoming and friendly towards our family throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we did not have the same experience with reception. When I raised concerns during our stay, I found the response quite dismissive and unhelpful. I was essentially told that it was August, the hotel was normally very full at this time of year, and we would simply have to deal with it. When you’re trying to raise genuine concerns during your holiday, that isn’t the response you expect from reception at a five-star resort. The atmosphere was not for us This is probably the most important part of my review. As a family of colour, we frequently felt uncomfortable around some of the other guests. There was a lot of staring, people openly looking at us and, on some occasions, appearing to talk about us while looking directly at us. Obviously, I cannot know what every person was thinking or saying, and I would never generalise about every guest based on nationality. I can only describe how our family felt during our stay. At times, it became uncomfortable enough that we genuinely preferred going back to our rooms rather than remaining around the resort. The resort also seemed very heavily geared towards certain European markets, particularly Polish- and Russian-speaking guests. Even much of the entertainment seemed targeted towards Polish/Russian-speaking guests. As an English-speaking family, we found the overall atmosphere surprisingly isolating. Therefore, if you are a person of colour, an English-speaking traveller, or simply someone who enjoys socialising, meeting new people and staying somewhere with a diverse, international atmosphere, I personally would not recommend this resort based on our experience. We visited another resort during our holiday that had guests from a much wider variety of backgrounds and nationalities, including British and other international travellers, and the difference was immediate. We felt much more relaxed and comfortable there. The food became extremely repetitive For a five-star all-inclusive resort, we expected considerably more variety. Unfortunately, after only a few days,
