8/10
I really enjoyed my stay at Amphoras Aqua. I was a solo traveller and was working whilst I stayed there. On arrival, Mohammed the site manager was a great support in changing my room from garden view to pool view which I felt would suit me better.
There was wear and tear to the room (a leak from the toilet and a faulty TV) which they fixed some days after reporting it. I had to ask more than once but in the end they job got done.
I loved the peaceful pool area which is where I would work. There is a more lively pool area for those who want fun and activity.
Much of the food was not to my liking but there is plenty of choice. I could still find things that I liked. I was very happy when it was Egypt night at dinner. At last some dishes which were not bland, not covered in cream and well seasoned! We had to pay $2 for fresh orange juice at breakfast. Snack times were free which is great!
As a solo female traveller of colour, the best part for me was the staff who always kind and made sure I felt welcome. Mahmoud the life guard was always kind and attentive. Also Muhammed and Elhamed and the bar staff. Ramy was very good at helping me select excursions so that I could feel confident to do sightseeing safely with others.
The wifi is not very stable and often slow which affected my work. This should be improved. I am a digital nomad with more work projects coming soon. Because of the kind staff and peaceful setting I would certainly look to book to stay and work here again.
