Spontaneously with his beloved decided in the last days of autumn to lie on the shores of the Red Sea. We began to study the situation with the hotels in Egypt and came across a video review of Iberotel Costa Mares ...in the morning we had already paid for everything and were waiting for the flight.

The hotel is located 15 minutes from the Marsa Alam airport and has a huge “own” territory, where the hotel and its infrastructure currently occupy 10 percent, maybe 15.

The hotel is fresh, built in 2019 or 2020, everything is “live” and well-groomed. The style is modern, minimalism and accuracy in details. The furniture is not worn out, good mattresses and pillows. The rooms are cleaned daily. The common restrooms are very clean.


Excellent food, as for "all inclusive", the food is varied. But you should not expect that you will be served pasta like in an expensive restaurant in your homeland. Meat / poultry for 4 points, and seafood for 5. Good breakfasts, some dishes can be taken directly from the chef's knife.
Once during the stay they give the opportunity to dine for free in one of the two (Italian / fish) paid restaurants - we went to the fish one and did not regret it. Grilled salmon was great!

But it's all "such". The most important is the turtle bay with small coral reefs. Every swim in the sea is a meeting with turtles, stingrays, octopuses and a bunch of beautiful fish. Some turtles willingly climb up to people and swim next to them. A dugong enters the bay, but we did not manage to see it(

We took the Dolphin House tour, which was offered by Anex Tour for $ 85 per person. We swam in the open sea inside a large coral reef with dolphins and took a ride on the excellent yacht Amber1 built in 2021. The tour is long, but definitely worth the money!

The hotel management is excellent, there are Russian-speaking managers. The basic staff speaks English, is always friendly and competent.
