Is breakfast and dinner enough?
I am going to travel with my husband and 10 year old child. My daughter loves to eat, my husband and I do not. I have a question, is breakfast complete? Is breakfast late? In general, how long does breakfast take, and how long does dinner take. I mean, if breakfast is from 8 to 9, and dinner is from 21 to 22, then you can even go hungry. Are there shops nearby so you can buy some snacks? Or is the hotel all inclusive?

HB is enough for a completely normal person, but the most difficult issue is drinks, I don’t mean alcohol, but just corny water. Here the troubles begin, where to buy, how to carry, and on the beach the water heats up very quickly. And if you buy in a bar, then believe me, all inclusive is much cheaper. At the expense of breakfast, it is usually from 7 to 10, and dinner from 17 to 22.

Dinner never happens at 17, what did you come up with?
Once we took HB in Egypt, we had to buy a lot of drinks, and since you won’t run to the city for every bottle of mineral water, we took it at the hotel, 7 times more expensive. During the day on the beach, you still want to nibble on either an apple or a sandwich.
Olya_dada, see for yourself, based on the difference between HB and All, sometimes it's not that big.
And you can ask: what is "LITTLE" ???

We went both on the HB system and on the all inclusive.
Personally, for me, HB is enough, for all-inclusive I become fat.
I agree about drinks - their absence is annoying, and this is the main minus of HB.

My daughter is about the same age, besides she is very active - swimming, exploring the territory, active games, therefore, replenishing energy in the same amount, she drinks a lot of drinks and needs a full meal + snack. In this case, All Inclusive is a salvation for us, because. drinks are really expensive in the hotel. Look at the difference in price as Pachok advises, if it is not great, take it better all. Yes, and you, if you suddenly want something, you will not need to calculate whether it is expensive or not every time.

When I was resting, people at breakfast quietly squeezed all sorts of buns, jams, butter into bags. There was never a check at the exit, and many of them completely managed with light snacks at lunchtime. Judging by the reviews on this site, many in many hotels do this. Personally, I didn’t have a strong appetite, unlike a seaside vacation in the Crimea, when I want to eat after an hour and a half, so I managed with fruit. So it's probably different for everyone.

The difference between half board and full board in price is not very significant, but you save yourself from worries (where to get the same sandwich, where it is cheaper to buy water, etc.) Does it make sense?

Pulling buns, jams, fruits from the restaurant (buffet) is a sign of Soviet deputies, bad taste and bad manners.

If the question is - to pay for all or steal food in a restaurant, then I am categorically against theft :(
But, it seems to me that the question is still, will NV be enough.

the question is not that it is a pity to buy money "all", it is simply not in this hotel! And I would love to be here. this is the question. I wonder how much in dollars a full meal in this class of hotel can cost. and where it can be found. I just wish there was a certain amount.

and then, expensive drinks, well, they don’t cost a million, for sure! and not tons of us to drink them. We were going to a completely different hotel, where all inclusive, counting on the amount of $ 2150, but we saw this one and wanted to come here. It costs about $1,750, so I'm guessing this difference may or may not cover dinners. and then, I read on one of the sites that in this hotel, for children under 12 years old, free lunches seem to be covered anyway. As for stealing something from breakfast to eat for lunch - it's not for me for sure!

given that you are traveling with a child, and even in principle in the summer
(i.e. you will always be thirsty, etc.)
then I advise you to take "All inclusive"
as a result, it will turn out to be more profitable for you (financially) than HB
because you can go broke on soft drinks alone

Olya_dada, as a rule, at the hotel you can immediately pay extra for a more "advanced" type of food upon check-in. At HB at the Hilton Plaza, we were immediately offered FB with a surcharge for dinners of $ 15 per person. And for how long are you going?
Personally, it seems to me that 400 USD the difference should be enough for lunches for the girl and drinks for everyone.

no, of course I'm not offended. nonsense. I didn't find "all" anywhere. HB only. I called the agency about this, so the boy answered me at all, why did you go there, the hotel is dumb! like this. and I really liked him. It seems to me that it is quite consistent with the concept of "oriental fairy tale", I still want to go there.

we go for a week. considering that a day is in Luxor, a day is on an excursion to the sea. we are also going to the desert, so, probably, there is no point in worrying about this.

Yes, of course, don't worry. $400 for a week to eat - through the roof!

Stegenberger beach 5 in Hurghada. I looked, of course, beautiful, but I don’t think there is an oriental flavor. Such a purely fashionable respectable holiday. Although the agent promised a discount such that everything will be "all" at an affordable price.

Olya, it’s very difficult to get into this hotel, since 90% are Germans and they book rooms there for half a year. I was refused 2 times and had to choose another. there will be-at lunch there is really a children's table near the beach (but: pizza, hamburgers, french fries ..., there will be no soup). One and a half liter bottle of water outside the hotel is 5 pounds and you can bring it, hiding it, for example, in a beach bag. Go, definitely, write a review upon arrival, I really want to go there myself!

Steigenberger is a great hotel! I would choose him. Moreover, the color in Egypt is not always good.

Thank you all so much for your replies!!!!! Everything has changed for me: since my husband can’t escape on vacation, and I’m simply afraid to go on long excursions alone with a child, the concept of a vacation has changed: most of the time will be in a hotel. so all is a must. beautiful reef - highly desirable. I took a ticket to Siera 4, to Sharm. Here it is, female logic))))))))) I decided that the hotel is quite decent, green, next to Soho Square, where you can visit bowling, ice skating, culture with your child .... in general, I hope everyone will like it. we're leaving in a week. Thanks again everyone for the replies!
