If you only pay as we did little money, then i would consider what to expect as in terms of 5 star. The food is very good with a wide selection of meats and pasta mainly aimed at the German and Italians taste. The standard of hygiene observed is the highest i have seen allinclusive with chefs monitoring the food... more

This hotel was very beautiful, the staff were very helpful and friendly and we had a very enjoyable family holiday. The 8 pools were brilliant. although only 1 was heated whilst we stayed there over the Easter holidays, so could've done with a few more heated. They had a good range of food, although by the time you've found a... more

I travel once or twice with family each year and know what should be expected of a "five-star" hotel/experience: sorry Akassis but much as I wanted, this was definitely not. Good points: huge, lovely grounds, superb "aqua-park", great stepping-off point for diving/snorkeling and visiting the dolphins. Great weather, the heat is dry down here which makes it very comfortable. However,... more

Just returned from a week there and had a really fantastic week. The best points; There was always food which is cooked to order and piping hot. Two big heated pools a must in January(8 others!) Great beach and snorkelling Great beach cafe, super efficient pizza order service Toilets are cleaned every minute and cleaner than the ones at Gatwick... more

As a couple we were looking for a hotel with good food & sunbathing facilities to chill out over Xmas. We found it. We went for 2 weeks all-inclusive from 17th Dec - 31st Dec 2008. My biggest fear was the upset stomachs. The food at this hotel is prepared & monitored very carefully. The management are constantly visible. We... more

Originally booked for the Calimera Habiba in Marsa Alam, but were moved at the last minute by Thomas Cook due to outbreak of Legionaires at it's sister hotel. When we arrived at the Akassia, our flight had been delayed so we arrived about 8.45pm, it was very daunting, the hotel is huge. No time for cocktails on arrival unlike some,... more

My friends and I had a week on the Nile and spent a very restful week at Akassia Swiss ressort. The reception is impressive and the staff are very attentive. The bar staff in the reception bar speak very good English and make you feel welcolme. The beach is very clean however we were constantly pestered by fly's. The snorkelling... more

Having just returned from two weeks at this hotel, I would have to say this experience has been exceptional. The hotel was clean, rooms spacious and staff were very friendly....being one of the first English at the hotel we were certainly in the minority and communications were sometime times tricky. You are warned that you are "expected" to tip -... more

Just had two weeks in the Akassia and although I agree with most of the comments made by the previous review, yes the hotel is very clean, and the pool and bar facilities and staff were good, although some bar staff were a little too risque in there conversation, we were not as impressed by the food, we thought it... more
