Good afternoon! I advise you to look at hotels in Abu Dabbab Bay.

We were in 3 corners for the May holidays, from a week of rest - four days there was a red flag on the third descent, on the second one you could swim all the time, but the coral was mostly inanimate there. But there were turtles. The water was 20-21 degrees for a long time without a wetsuit swim, it was the most unpleasant.

In The Three Corners Pensee Beach Resort (ex. Pensee Royal Garden 4 *), you can take Utopia Beach Club 4 * (the conditions for relaxation are more comfortable). These hotels share a magnificent living house reef. From 8 days all eight rested at sea in November 2015. The water was 27-28 degrees. I recommend only for lovers of snorkeling and diving.

Pensee is a poor hotel (was in April 2014) ... imagine what it is now (facepalm). The reef there is the most common - there are much better places in Sharm. The entrance to the sea is there from the side through the always muddy lagoon - there is no pantone. To walk from the hotel you have to walk 300-400 meters along the sand - along the entire Utopia.
P.S.
Marsa Alam should be 1.5-2 times cheaper than Sharm, and not vice versa ...

Yes, in general, I look at today's prices for the whole of Egypt for various tour operators and go nuts, the prices are just space, for the New Year they booked Marsa Alam 13,000 UAH. for two for 7 days, had a great rest for the price. I have been watching pricing for many years and realized that the price depends only on how much you and I are ready to buy it for.

Tanya, you are asking for advice, sorry, I did not immediately recognize it. Call Olya, you know who I'm talking about. In my opinion, this is Port Ghalib, I swam in both Oriental and Braiki, they didn’t stand nearby. They also swam in 3 corners, this is not a bay, the open sea, the bay next to the hotel - Marsa Mubarak.

Thank you friends. Another nuance - I swim badly. And I always travel alone. Therefore, I would not want to get into a hotel with a strong current where there are reefs .. I read such reviews. Therefore, your personal experience is needed. I also read that there are almost dead corals in Braika. And you advise. Are there really the same beautiful corals as in Shams? Just me already praised Sharm. And when I looked at the photos and videos, I realized that Shams is like heaven. I want the same, but a different hotel :-)

In order to advise a reef better than in Shams, you must first visit Shams, I have not been. Windless bays already seem to have listed everything.

I was there and saw, I can compare. I do not want to discuss, I lived in the hotels of these bays. The man asked the question not at all about Sharma, and not about yacht trips, I want to remind you.

- you already decide - where you were / where you weren’t ... how can you compare if you haven’t been, this is your quote:
"to advise a reef better than in Shams, you must first visit Shams, I have not been." - was it or was it not?
P.S.
What kind of kindergarten? Video show what is so special in Shams - rarely anyone believes in empty words now ... otherwise it looks more like an advertisement for an extravaganza with their expensive tours to second-rate hotels in Marsa Alam

ser_____Witness77 unfortunately I can't prove it to you with the help of video. All my videos when uploaded to youtube greatly deteriorate in quality. Apparently the action camera is not very good. Although on the laptop they go fine.
About the provided links.
Shams - morning video, faded light, the beauty of the underwater world is lost. In addition, it does not have turtles, triggerfish, rays, crocodile fish, triggerfish, etc., which are abundant in Shams. That is, what was filmed in 15 minutes of a morning swim does not convey the beauty of Shams.
Charm - colorful montage of several videos. It's beautiful, but since this is a montage, apparently the best shots have been collected, presumably. And it turns out that in Sharm there are no turtles, triggerfish, rays, crocodile fish, triggers, etc.
In addition, in Mars you can swim with dolphins in Sataya. I agree that there will be exit bays. But the reef in the hotel should also be beautiful.

thanks agent_borabora. Also drew attention to El Malika. Hilton is rejected because of the dress code and the negative feedback of my friend. Jazz Lamaia is much more expensive, but I will read more, maybe I will mature :-)

taran_natala thanks for helping me decide. All the time picking inside that Charm is cheaper and seems to be the same beautiful underwater world. But since you write that the underwater world is richer in Mars, then definitely Mars! :-) And I’ll also read about Equinox

So in Shams it was about the extraordinary beauty of coral, and not about living creatures - I gave a link just to corals - nothing special ... near Melia Sinai (Sharm) the coral is definitely more beautiful - I can give my personal videos ...
" And it turns out that in Sharm there are no turtles, triggerfish, rays, crocodile fish, triggers, etc ... "
- I see turtles almost every time (near Tiran), large barracudas (2 meters each) / eagle rays / sharks - too, for such a trifle as crocodiles / stingrays / triggers - it’s even boring to watch ... here are my personal videos from Sharm ( not mounting) :

I look at the SUNRISE MARINA PORT GHALIB hotel.
Does it make sense to look at it (in the sense of reefs and the sea), or is there something better in Mars?
in this price range.

Who will recommend a not very expensive hotel for a winter holiday in Mars? In addition to the reef (even more living creatures on it) and prices, nothing else is of interest.

I have already read about this hotel. It seems like in a bay, so you can snorkel in winter. But I do not quite understand what is there beyond the sea? Everywhere in the photo the open sea is not visible, some incomprehensible narrow bay, near which yachts moor, and then a strip of land. This is true? And is there really a gorgeous reef?

You can take any other hotel in Port Ghalib (I do not advise only Sunrise Marina 5 *, just returned, very poor service, I will leave a review soon) and swim to the other side through the port.
