Visited the hotel from September 26 to October 12.2015. I will be as brief as possible only the pros and cons, and you decide for yourself to fly or not to fly:
Pros:
1. Small, quiet, cute, cozy hotel with local Egyptian flavor, unspoiled by Russian Tourist;
2. No need to pay extra when checking in for the best room, all rooms are equally comfortable and beautiful. The attitude is friendly, the staff has a desire to learn Russian;
3. The territory of the hotel is equipped with wheelchair ramps.

4. Regular cleaning of the room, every day new figurines on the bed, made with love; Shower gel, shampoo and soap replenished daily. The hair dryer is in the bedside table under the mirror in the room. There were no problems with replacing light bulbs either, the main thing is not to be shy and ask. I left my cell phone and camera in the room on recharging, they didn’t steal anything, apparently the hotel is strict with this. None of the vacationers complained about theft, and this pleases. There is a safe in the room, so I kept everything of value there.
5. Any requests from vacationers at the reception are responded to quickly and efficiently troubleshoot;
6. The beach is a 5-minute walk (there is a bus) the sea is shallow, but with a stunning underwater world.
A 30-minute walk from Marsa Mubarak Bay, with turtles, which organize excursions from all Marsa Alam hotels for $ 30 per person, and you will have it within walking distance, go, you won’t regret it.
Be sure to go to the beach of the neighboring hotel, it is visible in the distance, you will also get an unforgettable experience and by the way, you can swim with a mask, there is something to see without.
The sea is very warm. A real velvet season, when water and water temperature are almost the same. The fish dart right next to the shore, if you wish, you can feed them with the stored bread right from your hands.
So mask, snorkel, corals and forward, towards the sea.
7. A free bus will take you to Port Ghalib, where you can admire all the charms of this Marina, yachts, canals. take unforgettable photos, not only buy souvenirs in shops, but also communicate with sellers in Russian, drink tea, smoke a hookah. (if you are offered it); Shopping is great if you like haggling! Price should be doubled!
8. I was satisfied with the food. Quality food in the restaurant. Thanks to the chefs for delicious, gourmet dishes. For fast service and no queues.
9. I take alcohol with me from Duty Free, so I don’t drink local drinks.
10.2 pools: large and small;
11. Silence comes from 23.00, because the next day many will get up early and run towards the sea! This applies to divers and just vacationers.

12. Animation is just super. The guys are all great: Bino, Rico, Shiko, Mido. Starting from 10.00 in the morning with learning dances, water aerobics, yoga, all possible games and 21.15 in the evening performance, they tried not to leave anyone unnoticed. Unforgettable were: fire show, fakir show, and show with skirts. In 16 days, only a few performances were repeated, and then at our request; Once we allowed ourselves to go to a night beach party - a disco at the nearby Nilton Hotel! So, my friends, if you have a desire to have fun, hang out for your money, any whim! Locals (animators, a girl from a hairdresser, masseurs) will tell you where you can have fun! So get acquainted, communicate, polish your English and everything will work out for you!
13. Learn Arabic words, the most elementary, and you will have a completely different attitude:
Hello! (Hello! ) - As-Salaam Mualeikum;
Thank you - shUkran;
Please - Athos;
Yes - Naam;
No - La.
14. And if you decide to go diving, then you are definitely here!
Minuses:
1. WiFi is only very expensive, the price list is at the reception, they will tell you the password.
P. S: It's a long drive from Hurghada, about 2-3 hours. Therefore, if possible, take tickets to Marsa Alam.
I would like to once again advise future visitors to this hotel, read reviews about the hotel, about the place where you eat, read the description and then you will get an unforgettable experience and everything will be great!
Egypt remains for me a fabulous country with its enchanting smell and magnificent sea. . . This is a country where you always want to return....
