Marsa Alam Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Marsa Alam, Egypt

Good food, polite staff and very clean comfortable room with private patio. Beautiful location.

I spent a very enjoyable two weeks. Have no complaints. Lovely staff very friendly, willing and honest staff. The cuisine was imaginative and catered for different tastes. Very safe and secure. I will be b ask with my friends.

We stayed 3 nights and wish it had been more. The rooms were clean and in top condition. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was pretty good, especially by Egyptian standards. The snorkeling off the jetty was convenient and easy with a very nice reef (stingrays, parrot fish, angels, puffers, and MANY more, plus a good amount of living coral). We'll definitely go back. The beach area was clean with nice chairs and shades. The vendors were polite and definitely NOT pushy.

Everything on the hotel were in order and the staff ensures you feel welcome

We stayed during Christmas 2012 with our adult children on half board basis (NB: there are few, if any, restaurants outside of the hotel complex). The hotel and its food were superb and the beach and sea at 21C offered amazing swimming and snorkelling. There was a host of recreational activities to suit all ages and levels of activity (many free, but some chargeable but not in local currency - usually Euros). The hotel had gone out of its way for its clients to celebrate Christmas - at our Christmas eve dinner we were offered no less than 60x different desserts - some gala dinner this was. We will definately return. Note that the hotel is not at Marsa Alam town which is about 65 Kms south of the hotel; although Marsa Alam airport is about 5 Kms south of the hotel. The hotel's web site is not that clear precisely where the hotel is located and Google Maps at times confuses the location of the Lamaya and Coraya hotels. The Iberotel Coraya Beach hotel is in fact at 25.604931,34.60395 (Lat/longs). This information is important as the local taxi prices are extortionate for such short journeys and the hotel mini bus is even more expensive at 40 Euros for each journey to/from the airport. Fortunately, one of our sons lives in Cairo and was able to arrange a much cheaper taxi. In fairness this is the only negative that we experienced and one which the hotel should consider changing to attract independent overseas visitors. Overall, a superb hotel and resort to spend Christmas.

Perfect experience in the hotel which i would recommend it for everyone.

We stayed for a week from 2 November 2015 - cost under £350 for the two of us full board in a suite. There was low occupancy with just eighty guests and the number of staff and availability of some facilities was inevitably limited by this. The suite - at the end of a block - was fab with a normal size room plus a spacious indoor sitting area and a large outdoor balcony with sunbeds providing privacy and wind protection. Room facilities were fine and the rooms were well cleaned every day. One gripe is the lack of tea and coffee making facilities so take your own. This was especially important as there was no room service available. Meals were fine with a surprising choice given the low occupancy - the restaurant had more the feel of an echoing self-service canteen and a curious lack of metal spoons (!) but staff were friendly and helpful. The beach was coarse sand and snorkeling off the jetty was pretty good - the guy there works hard to keep the reef protected and it shows. Sadly my wife became ill with bronchitis and diaorrhea and the staff and recently-arrived doctor could not have done more with two trips to Port Ghalib hospital. In summary we would certainly return having previously paid twice as much in Marsa Alam for a smaller room albeit with a more polished meal service.
