Le Meridien is approx 25 km from Hurghada.
Here is the A/I concept but it does depend on your Nationality!
All beverages served by the glass between 10:00 - 00:00.
Beverages included local beer, local wine - white, red, rose, local spirits: Vodka, Rum, Whisky, Gin & Brandy.

Very few Hotel's include alcoholic beverages in the a/i concept.

Aladdin, Safaga & La Caravane Restaurants are included. All other restaurants are against charge.

Ice Cream and Milk shake in the Sunset Bar between 14:00 & 16:00

The A la Carte Restaurants give a 50% discount on food only, so drinks have to be paid for.

Sorry I can't help with the Hilton Long Beach - it is in Hurghada, although quite far out.

Hope this helps.

Only because different Tour Operators negotiate both different rates and all inclusive concepts.
The a/i I quoted is for the British market.

I would recommend Hilton Long Beach as a better option for its huge facilities and fascinating nature. About the all inclusive: for meals there are open buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner and for the drinks you can have all the kinds you want (alcoholic and non) from any snaks bar or restaurants unless it's not owned by the hotel. I highly recommend you to read the All Inclusive program you will receive with your room keys upon arrival where you'll find the names of restaurants and bars and the timings of each that are included in your program. Any other than the listed on that program you'll have to pay.
Emjoy your stay and don't hesitate to contact us.
