Marsa Alam Hotel Guide - Adventure Sport Hotels in Marsa Alam, Red Sea Governorate

"It is a paradise for divers. "

"It is a beautiful, well maintained resort in a gorgeous area. But this is where it stops. If you are expecting the standards of a Hilton hotel, look elsewhere. First, you go on the beach hoping for some relaxing time. But you get continuously pestered by sales people from the hotel who are trying to sell you this safari and this dive and what not. This was truly annoying, especially that in conversations, they get too familiar with you and start asking personal questions about things that they have no business inquiring about. One of these had a very slick presentation and we signed on to an exotic trip. We ended up in a beaten car driven by some maniac who drove 150km/hr on a road where the speed limit is 100km/hr, and a car that felt like it would break apart any minute. Then, the trip overran its time and we had to cut it short. The pricing is left to the usual bazar-like haggling, which is another layer of annoyance. Why can't the hotel just put fixed prices and make everything clear on check in and be done with that? Also, when you go there, don't sign for any of the restaurants! We signed up for one night, the food was cold, the bread came straight from the fridge, and everything felt like you are being gouged price-wise. I complained to the staff, and they apologized, rather profusely, but I had to pay for it because "the system is too complicated and once an entry is made it cannot be removed"- said the lame excuse of the property manager. The worst Hilton experience"

"Unfortunately, the air conditioner didn’t work in my room and the staff was very slow to respond kept me waiting for hours. I had to demand to be moved to another room. I was sweating in my room. It was so hot. I was surprised at the lackluster care they took for their guest. To make up for, their mistakes, they could’ve comped me the room, but they didn’t."

"Great location for snorkelling - house reef is in good condition. The reef is accessable from a hetty which is regulated by lifeguards who sign you in and out of the water for your safety as the water is generally quite rough. The reef inland is very shallow but great for novices and children to swim/snorkel safely. The hitel has activities throughout the day as well as evening entertainment. Food has variety for all dietry needs and is buffet style. Rooms are very clean, hotel offers other services for extra charge such as use of the spa. I had 5 sessions with Fatima who I would highly recommend! Overall, this hotel is as described."

"Nice staff, very respectful and provide very good service "
