They flew to Marsa Alam out of pure curiosity. Previously Sharm and many times. The price of $ 630 for two + 25 visa from the nose, we were quite satisfied, and we did not expect anything like that for that kind of money. We arrived at the airport at dawn, at the hotel by the beginning of breakfast, which, as the guide told us while still on the bus, they were not going to feed us, only for $ 5! I have never met such greed, especially since we flew all night! At the lobby, we were treated to powdered lemonade and carefully warned that the services of the bar and the coffee machine could not be used before the investment. Thank God, at least in the sea and the pool you can! )
We were settled at about two, although the hotel was half occupied. Number as a number, normal. It is noteworthy that all rooms have a sea view. The sea was often stormy, so it was not possible to swim every day. The beach is deserted and deserted, mostly lay by the pools. But... the coral reef is just a fairy tale, I have never seen anything like it! Imagine that you are flying in a helicopter over the green mountains, only instead of the mountains below you are beautiful reefs that go straight into the abyss! The hotel is bordered by another five, where we sometimes went out of boredom, and all this is surrounded by just a desert, where for $ 15 you can drive ATVs.
The guests of the hotel are mostly Poles, Germans and Arabs. Total savings were felt everywhere. There were no animators, dance groups performed on the terrace of the restaurant 3 times in the evening. There is also a disco - a column transferred from the pool bar, working on the flash drives of the DJ (he is also a waiter during the day), and on the guests' flash drives. There weren't enough wine glasses. We washed them in a hurry with just water, as well as plastic glasses by the pool, we were provided with herpes). We were not hungry, although the choice is not great, but for such money it is sufficient. Beer and wine nothing, the rest - the usual hotel swill, as elsewhere.

The staff is kind and slow. Wi-Fi only in the lobby, and then weak... besides, the air conditioning was often turned off in the lobby. The heat of 40 degrees was tolerated calmly, thanks to the dry climate, the pool, umbrellas near it and, of course, sometimes the sea. Massage for ours 25$, re 20. For foreigners 45 euros. There is a simulator, however, half of the iron did not work.
In general, a hotel for unpretentious people who value the reef, fresh sea breeze and tranquility. I do not recommend traveling with children. I really hope that now there is better in terms of service! Have a nice holiday!
