We chose a hotel at a good price. First time in Marsa Alam, 8th in Egypt. This is a different world))) We arrived at night from Hurghada airport, the road was difficult + 3 hours transfer, we were immediately fed and settled in. The staff is polite, the cleaning is normal, swans from towels for tips. The room was given next to the reception, normal, clean, everything was intact, it worked, the water was always hot, the only cosmetics were liquid soap. … More ▾ We chose a hotel at a good price. First time in Marsa Alam, 8th in Egypt. This is a different world)))
We arrived at night from Hurghada airport, the road was difficult + 3 hours transfer, we were immediately fed and settled in. The staff is polite, the cleaning is normal, swans from towels for tips. The room was given next to the reception, normal, clean, everything was intact, it worked, the water was always hot, the only cosmetics were liquid soap.
The territory is well-groomed, medium in size, not very much greenery, the highlight is the lake on the territory. The food is ordinary Egyptian, corresponds to 4*, there is something to complain about if desired, but we didn’t))) fish, chicken, liver, beef, duck, vegetables and rice and pasta in assortment and prepared differently, ordinary sweets, fruits, seafood did not have. Coffee and cocoa machine. The alcohol is regular Egyptian. Simply wonderful animation. Well done guys, foam parties, on the beach, in the pool, Egyptian show, Mr. and Miss, daytime entertainment...Somehow it was all fun.
I'm not a fan of animation, but this time it worked. Especially considering that there is nowhere to leave the hotel.
SEA. There were enough places on the beach for everyone, the sunbeds were middle-aged and normal. The reef is beautiful. There are different fish, many small and large. I saw a stingray and Napoleons. And of course the purpose of the trip is a turtle!! ! 2 large ones))) arrived on time in the morning. The sea is cool! A nuance about the pontoon. It's being built. Part on the edge of the reef. You need to walk through water and rocks in corrals, then climb onto a piece of pontoon and go down to the edge of the reef. This...And during the work, a red flag is hung on the pontoon. For the whole day, while they deceive that it is for half an hour or that there is wind, etc. I went to 2 pontoons of neighboring hotels in such cases, it took about 20 minutes to walk to the second pontoon. They let you in there and don’t hang up a red flag, despite the wind; a bonus is the variety of reefs. Considering the price of the tour it's ok.
I think when the pontoon is finished, the hotel will become more expensive))) We didn’t take any excursions, we didn’t buy anything))) Wi-Fi is everywhere, it works even outside the territory along the shore, but there’s no conversation or video, only messages, sending photos and a browser according to your mood)))
Overall the holiday was a success. Marsa Alam is beautiful. The lack of infrastructure did not upset us; the underwater world and services covered everything.
Животный мир))) Общие впечатления Шикарные рассветы Номер после уборки Отлив

We have already been abroad, in particular in Egypt, there is some comparison. The hotel has excellent food, a good menu in an Italian restaurant (pasta, pizza, focaccia, etc. ), there are bars. Russian-speaking staff is only at the reception. The hotel is focused on the Italian public, so no one speaks Russian, which, incidentally, did not affect the quality of our holiday in the least. On the beach, the situation is as follows: there is a small pontoon about 300 m, the entrance to the sea is coral, so we dived from the pontoon. They took fins and masks with snorkels from Moscow so that there was a rental point on the spot - they didn’t see it. There are pools on the territory, even 2, but they are not heated, so swimming in winter is unlikely to be comfortable, but during our trip, everything was ok.

Family friendly hotel. Pros: 1. Very, very beautiful sea, BUT prepare yourself-och. stormy life in it! I explain, the hotel is on the territory of the reserve, so keep in mind, you go to the pier, and past you are stingrays, some yellow snakes... An octopus the size of a sheepdog, hedgehogs... Sea spiders were called stars... Wow, stars, sir furry paws. Don't skimp on shoes! When the tide is out, how will it all come out... A huge turtle sailed to the pier - impressions, of course... 2. Beautiful - the territory is fabulous3. The air smells of mint at a distance of 2-3 m from the plant, everything dries in one fell swoop and things smell of spices and sea salt4. Many Russians are simple, good Russians. By the way, this is not the first time many people have come to this hotel!! ! Cons1. The guides are assholes, that's for sure2. There is no place to change money normally (cash) There is no talk about cards. The impression of a place forgotten by God. If there is no laptop with you, the connection is och. expensive!!!
From the administrators, two words to say - tens of dollars3. Very strong wind. For two days, the sand was whipping all over my body... The food is good. I would go again without hesitation! Even in the wind is the main thing!! !

I arrived 2 days ago, I went with a friend and two children of 5 and 11 years old, I really liked it, though there were slight winds, and everything is fine, they clean the room every day if you leave a dollar, they will make all sorts of little animals with us who they didn’t do, the children ran after dinner in the room to see who did what. … More ▾ I arrived 2 days ago, I went with a friend and two children of 5 and 11 years old, I really liked it, though there were slight winds, and everything is fine, they clean the room every day if you leave a dollar, they will make all sorts of little animals with us who they didn’t do, the children ran after dinner in the room to see who did what. Animators young boys and girls are just a miracle, I wonder how they have enough strength for all this, in the morning they hold all sorts of competitions on the beach, aerobics, belly dancing and club dances danced all over the beach, in the evening a children's deco on the stage near the bar with Sasha, a sweet girl, her children are very fell in love. before lunch and after dinner, too, with her in the children's room, after the disco there are competitions for adults every day with a different theme, and at 11:30 an adult disco and again the animators entertain them until 2 am. And from 3 to 4 days they give free ice cream and from 8 to 9 pm popcorn. One minus is that the pool is not heated even for children, it is cold. You can watch the fish and dive from Pantone though there were waves but nothing dived anyway. The food is excellent, fish and meat were even given 3 octopuses every day, there is also a fish restaurant, but I didn’t really like the dishes there, I didn’t see anything special except crabs and shrimp, and there’s so little of it there, the rest is almost the same give in the dining room. The staff is all kind and friendly, so go and don’t think, maybe where it’s better to eat, only I haven’t seen such animation 3 times in Egypt. The only thing is far from the city, and excursions are very expensive, but we went to the Aquapark, it’s 40 minutes from the hotel, we bought up there and rode down the slides into warm pools, and there’s nothing on Safari either!

The first impression, like all new arrivals, is not very good, flight, three hours by bus, at night, desert. But when the sun rose, this impression instantly vanished. The sound of the surf, a light and fresh breeze from the sea, a delicious breakfast.

The atmosphere in the hotel is friendly, everyone speaks Russian, rooms are cleaned daily. The beach is good, the entrance to the sea is only in daddies, 150 m to the pantone, and the indescribable beauty of the Red Sea begins, masks are sold nearby. I would recommend this to anyone who is traveling for the first time. Corals, fish, hedgehogs and stars.
Lots of entertainment programs, Super animation: Warm-up on the beach, aqua aerobics, team games, discos. There are massage services, I advise everyone.
The holiday was 100% successful

Was in Dessol at the end of November 2011. The road from the airport takes about four hours. It is located much south of Hurghada, so even at the end of autumn it was hot during the day and warm in the evenings. In parallel with me, an acquaintance was resting in Hurghada, according to whose stories it was very fresh during the day, and in the evenings I had to wear a jacket, as a result, among other souvenirs, she brought a cold from there. … More ▾ Was in Dessol at the end of November 2011. The road from the airport takes about four hours. It is located much south of Hurghada, so even at the end of autumn it was hot during the day and warm in the evenings. In parallel with me, an acquaintance was resting in Hurghada, according to whose stories it was very fresh during the day, and in the evenings I had to wear a jacket, as a result, among other souvenirs, she brought a cold from there. The hotel is big… on the first evening I managed to get lost. The rooms are standard, not new but in good condition, cleaned daily. The food is tolerable, I especially liked the goulash... The hotel staff is friendly, many speak Russian, and some even offer to buy something that is prohibited everywhere... except Holland. If there is a desire to go somewhere - opposite the reception, behind a glass wall, in the corner of the patio, there is a table at which a taxi driver sits - an Arab, he does not understand Russian, but he will take him to hell. I advise you to ride ATVs in the desert, their base is located across the road right behind the hotel, so you don’t have to get to them. Hotel guides, Ira and. . . I don’t remember the name of the second one - rude young ladies with whom it is difficult to communicate, it’s better not to ask questions, and not to deal with problems at all. Autumn is the season of winds... the wind is strong enough, wicker fences near the umbrellas on the beach save from it. There are a lot of sun loungers, there was always enough for everyone, but if you want to look at the sea and not be under the shade of residential buildings at 3 o’clock, it’s better to get up early, take a walk to the beach before breakfast and score yourself a sunbed you like. There are many palm trees on the beach, which is unusual for hotels in Egypt. The sea is a separate conversation. In itself, it did not surprise with anything - fish, corals, blue jellyfish... something else surprised me: in order to reach the place where the shallow ends and there is a tiny pier, you need to walk 400 steps knee-deep in water along the pebbles and stones strewn at the bottom. You can’t go barefoot, for that they sell special slippers right on the beach for 4 bucks. The secret is that if you walk not along a pebble path, but next to it, there are no problems with moving barefoot. The feeling that sellers of slippers poured pebbles... At the end of the sea journey there is a stubby pier, with an inconvenient entrance to the water, all its structures are overgrown with strong and glass-sharp shells, despite the fact that there were always waves, this makes the entrance and exit from the sea not safe (he cut himself several times). A fairly strong current, carries away to the right of the pier, if you swim poorly, it is better to sail from the pier to the left. There is a lifeguard on the pier only when no one is swimming, so the role of the lifeguard falls on the shoulders of those who are drowning or swimming nearby. For the “convenience” of getting out of the water, a rope floats into the sea, which turns into a trap, crumpled by the waves at the stairs. The depth at the pier is 10-15 meters, without a mask there is nothing to do there. For these reasons, many people prefer to gurgle waist-deep in water close to the shore at high tide. Biting mosquitoes appear as the sun goes down…take something from them. Animation throughout the day is standard, ends with a daily disco, once there was even foam on the beach. Children animators can put a monument on the beach for their sparkling, incendiary and tireless.

Good afternoon, we rested in the first days of November 2011, we really liked the hotel, there is something to compare with, there were very expensive hotels.

In Egypt for the first time, the hotel is very good staff friendly. Vacation was a success. I wouldn't be writing this review if it wasn't for one FACT that pissed me off. Our three guides at the hotel from Pegasus sit at the reception and change rubles for dollars 38 rubles for 1 dollar. The initiator of all the frauds with money and it seems with excursions is also one of the guides of Pegasus, a young Egyptian, who speaks Russian well, I don’t know his name, but he is the only one who imagines himself to be a little king and two Russian girls are also Pegasus guides who implicitly follow all his instructions. The most interesting thing on the beach of the hotel on the left side there is a hotel with shops there. Egyptian sellers change dollars at 35 rubles for 1 dollar, a trifle, but really nice. I ask the leadership of Pegasus to pay attention to this petty scammer, I still had problems with him, but these are my problems. And who is going to this hotel, the hotel is very good, the animation is very good. The sea is amazing. Feel free to leave a tip for cleaning the rooms at least 1 dollar the guys who clean the rooms seem to be in dire need of money, they clean very well. PS: If not for this goat hotel guide from Pegasus, then the vacation was a success, the hotel is excellent.

Please tell me - if I swim badly, is it possible to go there from the pontoon to the chest and swim? Not to be deep. Or at first 100 m shallow, and then immediately break?

We always rested in Sharm, but flights this year from Barnaul only to Hurghada, respectively, and to the resorts adjacent to it. decided to discover Marsa Alam :) Tell me, you can buy a mask on the spot. flippers. slippers for corrals ?, otherwise in Sharm it is at every turn. And another question - what about seasonal fruits - mangoes. strawberry? Is it possible to buy somewhere near the hotel? And finally, what excursions are there - a yacht. motosafari. Luxor? .. and where to buy - only from the guide?)) Thanks for the answers.

Friends! We love snorkeling and watching fish, so we spend most of our time on the beach! And the conditions on the beach are very important! Where to sit, is there a shade (are there good umbrellas), is it crowded, as with showers and toilets! And how is entering the sea - extreme or normal? In short, more information is needed! Tell me please!
