First acquaintance with Mars-Alama
They rested since 07.05. 2025 to 17.05. 2025 with his wife and son 13 years old. In Egypt 7 times, in Mars-Alama for the first time
Settlement. We arrived at the hotel about 21.20, the transfer to the hotel took about 20 minutes, got quickly with comfort, stopped in another hotel. We presented vouchers for settlement, filled the standard form, we were offered to dine and approach the reception. What is interesting is not in the reception stand, you are planted on a convenient sofa, bring forms to fill, then come forms take away. We dinner (it was Late Dinner, delicious enough) and less than half an hour we were in the room.
Number, cleaning. We had a Standard Garden View (1216), a spacious light room with a big balcony and a good garden.

In the room, a double bed and two more beds in the section with a separate curtain, one bed occupied a son, furniture for things more than enough, refrigerator, safe, TV, tea corner - kettle, tea cups, coffee, coffee, tea, sugar. The room has a sufficient number of sockets, which is important (we have 3 phones, a laptop, a tablet, an electronic book, a clock) who was in Egyptian hotels, we will understand, we always bring a tee with an extension. In the bathroom hair dryer, new towels, shampoo, shower gel. The room also had 2 robe, the next day told the cleaner for slippers - brought 3 pairs. Three beach towels were also in the room (in the evening they are changed by the cleaner). Also in the refrigerator 2 bottles of water are free (delivered by the cleaner), everything else (DRINKS and SNACKS) for money. In general, a good room.
Territory, beach, swimming pools.
The hotel is a 5 hotel complex (Jaz Solya, Jaz Lomaya, Jaz Samaya, Jaz Maraya, Jaz Dar El Madina) is in the Coraaya Bay, which protects against wind Jaz Lomaya, Jaz Samaya) and the second line (Jaz Maraya, Jaz Dar El Madina) can be used by hotel infrastructure (except for restaurant bars). The hotel area is quite large (just walking in the hotel during the day, you pass 12000-15000 steps a day), beautiful (this is not the most beautiful territory I saw in Egypt, but is well groomed and almost in a perfect state). There is everything you need for a good rest-restaurants, bars, tennis courts (soil-soil), shops, aqua park (not enough, but there is almost no shadow, long there is not possible) large and active Diving Centre, (despite the rates 1) Wishes a large number, donkey Mr.
Nice does not have time to pull a trolley with full balloons on the pier and empty back to Diving Centre) Two pools (in the Jaz Solaya) swimming pools work from 09.00 to 18.00, but even after 1800 no one expels, do not make comments).
Wi-Fi works well throughout the hotel, not all sites (not porn)) or applications can be opened, for example, Tripadvisor, VPN does not work too.
The beach, a large beach with deck chair and umbrellas (you can always find free without problems), under the feet of sand, a gentle entrance to the sea only from the Jaz Solaya territory, to go more than 100 meters until it will not be deep enough to plate to coral. You can also reach the coral on Pierce- a good wooden pier on piles, a meter width of two, a length of 100 meters to a location of divers and another 60 meters for all sleeping lovers, the entrance to the water on degrees, not on the ladder, very comfortable for everyone. Constantly blowing the east or northeast wind, but the yellow flag was rising and it was possible to swim in the sea.

Coral - if not the brightest coral I saw, then one of the brightest, real pleasure, many times saw the fish eating and not one, titanium spinrig, once lucky to watch a large turtle of the devouring jellyfish, then she lazily wiped his mouth and slowly. Many different fish and jellyfish as well as diver jars)) I think coral will not leave anyone indifferent
You can wash fresh water both near the beach and near the pools, and there are also cranes for washing your feet.
Nutrition, restaurants. They were eating at the main restaurant of Safari, not far from our room, by the way from the veranda of the restaurant a wonderful view of the bay, in another (Olivio) did not go, breakfast - standard: eggs fried, boiled, omelet Peaches, plums), pancakes, croissants, honey, nuts, jams to them.
Coffee (quite good) or tea is brought by waiters, drinks of the type of juices from the machine can be poured alone, there were no fresh. Lunch - the choice is meat (veal, lamb), and chicken, and fish, soups (you can eat), garnishes (rice, potatoes, pasta) vegetables, fruits we dined in the main restaurant only once, mostly ate burgers and pizza in the bar near the pool. Dinner-chicken, veal, fish, every day something delicious on the grill-kebab, barbecue, chicken, one day there were seafood-squid, shrimp. There is also a choice of desserts.
Tomatoes and cucumbers do not taste, delicious tomatoes disappeared on 5 day. There is an ice cream choice. Delicious beer (real delicious, usually in Egypt, beer is watery, and here is just a pleasure). Alcohol is like in Egypt's hotels of the same level.
There are 3 restaurants a la carte: Momo - Asian Cuisine, Sofra - Middle Eastern Cuisine, Ninos - Italian Cuisine. They went to Sofra, delicious and very good service.
All these restaurants are in Jaz Dar El Madina next to each other.
Services.
The work is a good thing - well.
Cleaning in the room - cleaning each day usually somewhere before lunch, cleaning, well, made fun compositions (animals, birds))) from towels. We left a $ 1 for the cleaner every day.
Restaurants and bars workers are undoubtedly the best staff I have seen. I would like to note the perfect organization, there are no queues nowhere, there are enough dishes and dishes!

Animation - I cannot objectively evaluate their work (the fact that we do not need it), but I saw that the team is fun, energetic, looked a couple of times yoga, water polo in the pool, Darts, barrel on the beach. I think it is necessary to note the work of people who are not noticed (it is hard work) - gardeners, cleaners, laundry - respect, hotel almost in perfect condition.
One day they were in the evening show - Fire Show and Dervish Man Show, it's the best of similar shows I saw.
Excellent Management, German Ordung
Around the hotel. Not so much is near the hotel, you can go on a taxi in Mars-Alama or to the port of Galib, we did not go-we did not see. On foot go nowhere.
Different. In the hotel, tourists in most of Germany (somewhere 70-75%), Poland (somewhere 20-25%), the rest from other countries, did not see Kozlomos. The main language of the Hotel is German (Gutten Morgen, Ah SO, Danke, ALES GUT? )))
There was no Birthday compliment at the hotel, there was a day, no greetings, with the agency's tour.
There are several wishes. 1. There are no toilets on the beach. 2. The tile around the pools is slippery when it is wet, be careful 3. There are several posters in the territory - a plan -map of all hotels and one (we found one) Jaz Solaya hotel, but the hotel map is indistinct and uncomfortable,
They went to 3 excursions. The first - a maritime walk - dolphins - is generally satisfied, sailed in 1.
5-2 meters from a large group of dolphins. The second is Luxor, good, but long, not easy and hot (there were +41 s in Luxor). The third - super safari - is also good. 2 excursions were taken because of a hotel guide - expensive, a sea walk through another person - cheaper. Generally, excursions are much higher than in sheikh or Hurghada.
Finally, the main criterion in the assessment of the hotel - you would come to it again and would recommend this hotel to friends and acquaintances - on both questions - definitely so.
