Fodor's Expert Review Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

Sahl Hasheesh Bay, Hurghada, Red Sea, 84512, Egypt Fodor's Choice

The first boutique, all-suites property along the Red Sea Coast is still the tops, featuring Moorish-style bungalows, each with a living room area, private courtyard, and luxurious bathrooms that have a sunken tub and glass-sided shower opening onto a second, smaller courtyard. Grand suites have their own private, heated pools. The public areas give the impression of a 19th-century gentlemen's club with their dark wood and brass, but they are enhanced by 21st-century necessities that include a spa and spacious infinity pool. Service is discreet yet attentive. Although the hotel attracts a lot of families, accommodations are spread out across 48 acres, so solo travelers and couples are unlikely to be bothered by young children.
