The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh has an exotic Egyptian feel and is set in beautiful grounds on the Red Sea. It's an exclusive haven of sophisticated luxury and relaxation and fronts a private beach with beautiful white sand, a coral reef and has panoramic views of the sea. Oberoi service is near perfect: unobtrusive and obliging with needs met before you are even aware of them.
The feel of the resort is special because it is renowned as the best hotel in Egypt. There are 102 suites which are set in 48 acres of perfectly maintained grounds and the resort has an amazing main pool, three restaurants and plenty to keep you occupied.
OUR OPINION:
The Sahl Hasheesh is one of the finest beach resorts in Egypt, with a calm and luxurious air that is second to none on the Red Sea. If you want a stay in a resort where the service and food are consistently good and you have all your creature comforts it's harder to find one better than the Sahl Hasheesh. Although there are a few facilities for children, it is primarily suited to adults. The town of Hurghada is a taxi-ride away. We send a number of guests here and have always received very positive feedback. In addition, the Middle East and North Africa team team always really enjoy their stays here. We can warmly recommend it.
