For swimming, a narrow (5-10 m) strip along the coast between corals is marked with buoys. Naturally, everyone swarms there. + You have to be on the alert not to run into corals. (I got distracted - I pierced my knee). Sea for snorkers - 10. For swimming - 5.
The beach is sand and shell. There are fences from the wind (unnecessary). Beds mattresses killed. There are no changing room toilets. But this is nonsense compared to FLIES. Flies attack constantly and ruthlessly. The most advanced sunbathe with flyswatters. I would recommend sticky tape under the fungus for the fight. Beach - 0.
The room is large, comfortable, large bathroom with a bathtub and a huge shower. Number - 9 (it would be 10 if it were not for relocation).
Kitchen. From a large number of dishes, you can always choose something suitable, sometimes even tasty. Bulk fruits and vegetables. Canned beer - offset. Kitchen - 6.
The service is mainly focused on the Germans. Our brother is quietly tolerated. Service - 4.
The pools are beautiful but goofy (120cm).
Overall would recommend this hotel if not for the flies.

I want to share a review about the hotel "The palace Port Ghalib" (not to be confused with "Port Ghalib resort") Our flight was delayed at departure for 7 hours and upon check-in at the hotel around midnight, everyone was expected to have a late dinner - a trifle, but very pleasant. ROOM. The description of the hotel is fully true - once an exquisite palace in the Moroccan style, a little tired for a long time without repair, with elements of oriental luxury.

I want to share a review about the hotel "The palace Port Ghalib" (not to be confused with "Port Ghalib resort")
Our flight was delayed at departure for 7 hours and upon check-in at the hotel around midnight, everyone was expected to have a late dinner - a trifle, but very pleasant.
ROOM. The description of the hotel is fully true - once an exquisite palace in the Moroccan style, a little tired for a long time without repair, with elements of oriental luxury.
In the room, all the cosmetics are as it should be in the top five, except for shaving accessories (they weren’t even brought upon request). Bathrobes were brought on request, they were also changed every few days, but it didn’t work out with slippers - they simply weren’t in the whole hotel.
Bath and beach towels changed every day. The bed is comfortable, hot water without complaints and pressure, and temperature. Spacious terrace. Important: there were no insects either in the room or on the territory of the hotel (we were ready for mosquitoes but did not meet).
NUTRITION. In the dining room three times a day and in bars all the time drinks plus food at certain hours.
The food is varied - meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, pastries, drinks, every day they prepared dishes of different cuisines in addition to the standard set. Drinks in bars almost around the clock, food and ice cream - at certain hours.
There is a normal attitude towards the Slavs in the dining room, while more than once they noticed service privileges for Europeans (Germans) for quite obvious reasons - they watched how our people, not knowing English, begin to raise their voices urging the waiter to do this or that action (as if he would start better from shouting understand Russian), and Europeans speak English, which reduces the language barrier of communication. In general, do not be rude and people will be drawn to you)).
REST. Not crowded, the territory is huge (you can walk around the territory of the entire complex, which includes three hotels), greenery and flowers everywhere (incredibly green and very well maintained).
The water in the pool is not heated - we swam a couple of times. because the temperature is very invigorating compared to the sea.
The reef is magnificent both in the bay (5-7 meters and corals immediately) and from the pontoons (far and closer). Sunbeds on the beach for the future, there was never that they came and did not find free ones. Beach towels were changed every day.
SERVICE. The staff is very attentive. The concierge and reception helped with various requests, even in small things, they understand Russian, but English is easier.
On the day of departure, they made us an unpleasant "surprise": we were awakened by a call at 4:30 in the morning and asked to move out. saying that our bus with transfer to the airport was waiting under the hotel, although the check-out was at 12:00, and after about 10 minutes of finding out, it turned out to be a mistake.
Outside the hotel there is a small town of Port Ghalib with a real port where multi-tiered ships arrive, souvenir shops, cafes and pharmacies. Beyond its territory is a desert.
In general, my husband and I were very satisfied with the rest, we will gladly come again.

In Marsa Alam rested for the first time, before that were in Sharm. The travel agency recommended this hotel as a quiet hotel with a beautiful reef and a large beach. According to the reviews, we saw that the main guests, Germans, Italians, repeatedly return here. All this was decisive in our choice. We flew through Hurghada, there were no direct flights, we reached the hotel in 3 hours in a comfortable bus.

According to the reviews, we saw that the main guests, Germans, Italians, repeatedly return here. All this was decisive in our choice.
We flew through Hurghada, there were no direct flights, we reached the hotel in 3 hours in a comfortable bus.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink and immediately began to arrange a settlement, although we arrived at about 11 am, and check-in according to the rules, from 14.00. There were few other guests in the lobby. We were shown several rooms to choose from at our request, we settled on 6301, overlooking the pool and sea, above the restaurant. The room is spacious, with a separate large bathroom and a balcony where we enjoyed our time. At our request, they immediately brought champagne glasses and a bucket of ice.
Cleaned the room, changed towels, provided water regularly. Upon learning that I do not eat meat, the front office desk manager, Mina, immediately arranged a meeting with the chef (fish, squid, vegetables were all the time), and together with the room division manager, Mohammed, surrounded us with attention for the entire stay . I would like to note and thank all the staff with whom we interacted for their friendliness, help and correctness. Like the Germans and Italians, who came before our eyes for the third time as home, I want to come back here again))

We returned from this hotel a day ago. Rested from 24.10. 2021. until 31.10. 2021 I do not leave reviews often. The only reason is laziness) But in this case I will not be lazy.

We returned from this hotel a day ago. Rested from 24.10. 2021. until 31.10. 2021 I do not leave reviews often. The only reason is laziness) But in this case I will not be lazy.
The Palace Port Ghalib hotel was offered to us by a travel agency with which we have been cooperating for 10 years and they know our taste preferences and budget. Among the list of hotels for consideration were various options (Hurghada, Sharm and Marsa Alam), but the emphasis was on this hotel. First of all, of course, they began to read reviews about those options that they liked, study photos and videos, video reviews on you tube. We have already rested in Sharm and Hurghada many times, I wanted something new.
According to the photo and video, I really liked this particular hotel and the price was interesting. It was alarming that there were no fresh reviews. Last 2019. We were explained that the hotel had just opened recently, since the beginning of the pandemic the hotel had not been working. While we were thinking, weighing, choosing and choosing at our own peril and risk at this hotel, it turned out that there are no more direct tickets from Kyiv to Marsa Alam ((((There is an option to Hurghada and a transfer of 2.5 hours. We still decided to choose this option. In fact, the transfer is 3.5-4 hours (with stops). We were a family of 3 adults (Mom, dad and daughter 17 years old), we slept all the way, since the flight was at night, so we didn’t feel the duration of the road .
Now about the hotel itself. The hotel is chic! They settled right away. Room 6328 overlooking the pool and the restaurant (some sea view from the balcony)
As we understood, there are several hotels on the territory and, ideally, they should work as a whole. But due to the fact that it opened recently, it does not work at full capacity.
The beach is huge! There is a sunset right from the shore, there is a pier with beautiful views and marine life. If you are not too lazy and swim further, you will see a local cutie turtle.
The kitchen is great. Good quality food. There is no super-duper "variety", but everything is very worthy and everyone will find something to their liking.
Service is just great! All the staff are very polite, correct, friendly, smiling and friendly, with humor) This applies to absolutely everyone: the guys in the kitchen, in the bar, waiters, lifeguards near the pool and on the beach, and those creative guys who clean the rooms and change towels. ) )))
The animation team is our love! Positive, active, unobtrusive guys who try very hard (and they do it very well) to make your vacation varied and interesting.
We also had the “stars” and had a super beach volleyball team! This is an amazing international team (Ukraine, Russia, Belorus)
In the afternoon we had "incendiary" battles on the beach!!!
Guys, if you are reading this review, you will understand that this is about you! Know you are all great! Thank you for the positive and good mood!
I hope my review was useful to someone. I repeat once again, I'm too lazy to write a lot and in detail))) if you have questions, write, I will answer with pleasure.

The hotel clearly does not pull on 5 stars, and even 3 is too much for it. The food is terrible, basically you can only eat vegetables and potatoes, there are very few fruits, Meat is not tasty, there is no seafood, only squids, the staff is not competent, there is no animation, there is not even a toilet on the beach if the restaurant is closed, there is only one snack bar the beach, which has only french fries and very tasteless burgers, and then up to 12, you can’t even eat there.

There are chests everywhere, for alms, until you give money, they don’t even leave the room. The service is terrible. Hotels for 500 euros have a much higher level of service and quantity of food than this one for 2600. The card to enter the room constantly does not work, you have to go to the reception and do it again, they refer to the fact that this is from electrical appliances nearby, but even if lay down separately, nothing changes. The Alla Karta restaurant, in which something should be different from the usual, there is nothing, or even there you need to pay. We ordered a table there, through the operator's tour, then clarified at the reception how the staff had changed, they said that there was no reservation, they waited 20 minutes until they decide it all. No wifi, only at the reception, you need to buy a sim card. Disco once a week on the beach, you also have to pay 10 € for it, there is no toilet, they said to walk on the beach. No food or drink can be brought into the room, only 10€ and bought in a bottle. Also, in order to clean the toilet, you need to call and read to bring a brush, the same with bathrobes, slippers, and a dental calculator. The coffee is terrible. The contingent is mostly 60+. There are very few fish, even if you go with an excursion to the "glass boat" only sardines swim. Sockets do not work, light switches work differently every time! And well, goosebumps live in the bathroom.

transfer from Hurghada-3 hours, and 5 km from the hotel airport Marsa Alam. Service is super, tips are not customary to give. The interior is impressive, the beach-corals and many fish are visible without diving. . you can use the pools of crowne plaza hotels. there is a bazaar on the territory, but the price is 2 times more than at the airport.

The hotel is very good. No negative impressions. Even more impressive with its beauty is the sea. Worthy rest, you forget about everything.
