Iberotel Arabella - Main Pool

Arabian Style, 4-Star hotel, situated near the city center, and directly on the Red Sea shore.

It has two large swimming pools, and a private beach. Rooms either overlook the pool or the sea, but differences are not that big. Room amenities are average, and can be improved. The hotel service is average too, and the staff can get really overloaded when the hotel has a lot of guests. Food is okay, and the main restaurant "Obba Restaurant" offers open buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The overall impressions of the hotel is that it is crowded, and there are not a lot of open spaces to relax. It is suitable for families with children, who likes to be together, but not ideal for romantic escapes.

Iberotel Arabella - Beach
The beach is well designed as a circular shape, with a little rock island in the middle.

The water is crystal-clear, and you can clearly see the natural beauties of the Red Sea, from coral reefs to colourful fish, just by standing by the shore. The hotel also provides snorkeling equipment if you really enjoy watching fish swim around you. The beach has a small restaurant that provides lunch and snacks all day. You can also rent pedals to go around the beach to the marina area and back again. It was a great experience, especially for young children who cannot swim by themselves, yet want to see what's out there!

It is a great place for a family to spend the day.
