Furnished Chalet Apartment at La Hacienda Ras Sedr

The apartment was very convenient, ideal for a group of friends or a family who want a short break and enjoy the nice beaches of the Red Sea. It was quite well equipped - there is even a washing machine, although we didn't use it, as we stayed just for a day and a half. We chose Ras Sedr as a base from which to travel to Saint Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai (some three hours away from the compound). The kitchen has basic stuff to cook if you want to. There is a small supermarket in the entrance which is decently stocked. If you choose to eat out, there are some restaurants on the beach for reasonable prices (I'd recommend "Figs & Olives", as well as the main restaurant near to the entrance, which has an excellent buffet for breakfast). The beds are very comfy and there are two toilets, which is a plus when travelling in a group of 5 people. Lovely terrace with a view to a pool, ideal to chill out and watch the sunset if you don't feel like going to the beach. There are plenty of parking spots, which is an advantage. Lots of greenery all around the compound, which is really appreciated coming from Cairo. The owners did their best to cater for our needs, and arranged an exceptional check in time, which was very considerate of them.

Although bed linen is provided, you have to take your own towels, which can be a bit annoying, but I think overall it's reasonable not to provide towels for five people - maybe providing at least hand towels and one or two bath towels could improve the experience, which is already very positive. This is not something relative to the apartment, which is very nice: the compound is not a convenient spot if you're not coming by your own means or with a driver. You might want to reconsider La Hacienda if you are travelling by bus.

The host is decent and friendly. The chalet has a pool view. The whole place is quite during week days. The beach is clean and safe for children. An excellent destination for a family vacation.

The beach is not as indicated on the map, it is a short drive but a long walking distance (10 min. walking) The place needs to be treated to prevent house geckos.

The chalet exceeded my expectations, exactly as pictured. The owners were incredibly helpful, provided exceptional service throughout my stay and showed true decency. From start to finish, their attention made me feel appreciated and well taken care of. I highly recommend this chalet for a relaxing and memorable experience.
