Narcissus Obhur Resort & Spa

Warning: This is definitely not a place for international people!!! The swimming rules are strict around the pool and beach areas which are the main attributes of this hotel: no one piece swim suits for women and definitely no two piece swim wear. They watch you the entire time and come down on you hard if your wife/girlfriend swims with these items. At some point there was a child screaming in the water and there was no life guard to be found BUT if they see a women with a one or two piece suits they all of the sudden appear and get all angry. Furthermore, the pool is NOT for families, they separate your family making women swim elsewhere which again, renders these assets pointless if you are vacationing with your family. These rules are not outlined in the booking system only so Watch Out. The villas are fine enough but dark and fully enclosed with zero view of anything. Again, perhaps not for International people used to a view and a more relaxed vibe. The rooms are closed to US$700 per night which in my opinion is absolutely not worth it considering all the restrictions. Do your def a favor and go to La Plage or Red Sea Resort up street: cheaper and much more relaxed.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was 2 stars decent, but unfortunate incidents left me with a feeling of dissatisfaction in spite of its high-star rating. Firstly, I had to wait for an hour before I could successfully check-in. This was unexpected and quite inconvenient as I had been traveling and was in need of rest. Secondly, upon entering my room, I quickly noticed a strong scent of insecticide fumes which had been released in the air. The hotel did not forewarn me about this, and it made me feel uneasy for the rest of my stay. In spite of these mishaps, the location of the hotel was great and quite convenient for my travel needs. However, overall, I can't see myself booking a stay there in the future.

Decent, not much of activities to do. Hot water is good for 4 to 5 minutes then it is cold, we couldn’t enjoy the Jacuzzi at all we complained few times however no improvement. Housekeeping is not the best even if you ask for it they would ignore you till you make several calls. We also had our own towel taken by the house keeper then it was return when we asked for it. Resturant is way way overpriced given the overall utilities and cuisines. Spa prices is abnormal, I have traveled around the world but I don’t where their pricing benchmark is coming from. I can make one positive comment(the breakfast is great if you plan to go have it included)
