Compare / Turkey and Egypt

Resorts compared by season, room type and the amenities that actually differ

Every row below is a property we have checked for travellers flying out of Ukraine: what the hotel really offers, which block or room type suits which party, and how the same resort behaves in April, August and October. Narrow the list by destination before you read the matrix.

Six resorts, one table, sorted by what actually decides your trip

Accommodation types

What the room name actually tells you

The same label covers very different rooms in Turkey and Egypt. Below is how we read each category when we build a dossier, so you can compare the wording instead of the brochure photo.

Family room: Two sleeping zones behind one door: usually a double bed plus a sofa bed or a bunk alcove. Ask for the square metres and whether the second zone has a real wall. A family room can be a 28 m² double with a cot in one resort and a 45 m² two-room unit in the next. Best for: two adults, two children under 12
Swim-up room: A ground-floor room whose terrace opens onto a shared pool. Quiet it is not: expect voices and early pool cleaning. Check whether the water is private to the block or shared with the whole wing, and whether the terrace can be closed off for small children. Best for: couples who swim daily
Bungalow: A separate low-rise building on the grounds, often two floors with no lift. Better for privacy, weaker for mobility and for the walk to the main restaurant in August heat. Ask for the distance to the beach and whether an evening buggy runs. Best for: longer stays, light sleepers
Adult-only section: A fenced zone with its own pool and bar, usually 16+ or 18+. Read carefully whether the entire hotel is adult-only or only one block, because families may book the same resort and share the restaurants and beach. Best for: couples, shoulder-season trips
Standard land view: The cheapest category and the one most often upgraded at check-in. It faces the road, a service yard or a neighbouring building. If sleep matters more than the view, ask which side of the building the block sits on and whether the balcony is screened.

Room categories are the most edited part of any resort listing. Names, sizes and views change between seasons and between booking channels. Each dossier on the comparison page carries the date it was last checked. Not sure which block suits your party? Send the room type to our consultation desk.
