Fantasia
Good day to all!
Can you please tell me who was recently in the hotel, are there any changes? The last review was written almost a year ago. I am traveling with a girl, we are 19 years old. We were looking for a hotel for snorkeling. Is this hotel suitable? Does the general political situation in the country strongly affect the resort areas?

"I'm going with a girl, we are 19 years old"
In my life, I would not have let my son go there without a company of experienced red seamers.

What is the reason?
Last winter we went to Sea Lfe. Everything is good)

Marsa Alam is not Sharm! Although, if you have already been to KM, then there is some experience. Mars is characterized by winds (especially before summer), rough seas and currents. At the age of 19 - youthful maximalism, excessive self-confidence and ardor, can let you down :) Maybe I got excited, just having a son of 21 years old, I draw conclusions. Yes, young people are different ;)

Well, in this regard, there is experience, we rested in Nabq Bay. It is also very windy and strong current. I understand that Marsa Alam is less developed than Hurghada and Shesh. Therefore, I’m wondering if it’s worth going there or are there other options that are more suitable for us at the moment, even as the options were considered by Sentido, Dessole Alexander The Great (Marsa Alam). Mexicna resort, or something from the hotels of the golden 5 complex. We liked the Fantazia hotel, but the reviews are very old, and the price is a bit suspicious (10 nights 32.000 RUR) AI

peQnov, for your understanding, I will explain that they mainly rest on Mars:
1. fans of KM, who are little interested in other entertainment, or rather, more interested in their absence;
2. people who are prone to a quiet relaxing holiday without parties, etc.
Outside the hotels there is nothing to do - at all! Fantasy is no exception!
Someone seems to me that you do not fall into these categories :) You will die of boredom in two days. Or am I wrong?
For a better understanding of holidays in Mars, read on my blog (click on the account) the latest reviews from there, then ask. I will help how I can ;)
Good luck!

Yes, I was in Fantasia a long time ago, in November 2009. I don’t know what has changed since then, but then it was a hotel in the desert - stupidly on 3 sides of the desert, on the 4th side of the sea :)
For snorkeling, it was great there, I don’t think that everything has deteriorated in 2 years. This takes a little more time :)
In general, I really liked everything then - the hotel, the condition, the food, the beach (there are few people, a quarter of the sunbeds are occupied), the staff ... In terms of entertainment, it was said quite correctly - think about whether you will be bored there, the hotel is not for youth tear-off public.

About Dussolei agree with the author of the question! Very dumb for 12 thousand. for one thing, apparently the hotel is very conveniently located and the service is not bad. Now about fantasy. I was in January of this year, there were no winds, I did not notice currents and waves on the sea. out of 7 days, 5 are almost calm until lunch. At the age of 19, you probably still want something else, but for me (I traveled alone) it was perfectly fine :) I healed my nerves, swam with a mask and fins, the risk is minimal, peace and quiet. The sea is very close to the buildings and the bar .. therefore, at least five times a day, get ready to swim. Now I'm looking at the new Hilton, but it's more expensive and the entrance to the sea is far away ... you have to choose Fantasia or Hilton ...

Yes! And about the political situation .. I’m probably one of the last who was there immediately before the start of the revolution .. I also managed to go to Luxor .. and they didn’t take it by hook through Safaga, but along the local road through the ancient city of Idfu .... So no one even hinted at some kind of tension .. the guide stupidly said here is President Mubarak, there is a sheikh in every state :) Marsa Alam is generally a village in which all this political fuss is up to the lantern ... if only there was work and tourists :)

Just arrived from this hotel. The diver himself is free and scuba. There is something to see and around the hotel. From the pontoon and to the right behind the white buoy and how much strength is enough. Both my friend and I saw gray non-dangerous reef sharks (the outer side of the reef from a depth of about 15 m.) There is nothing to look at to the left on the outer side. Turtles no problem. The Russians are 3 km away from us. saw manta rays in the wild.

"The Russians 3 km before us saw manta rays in a wild place."
Can you give some clarifications and details?
аватар luvita29
were from 7.12 to 21.12 .. at first it was windy .. the last 4 days are generally a fairy tale (complete calm). Hotel occupancy is 70%, mostly Italians, Poles, Germans and a few Russians. Animation is very good. weak incl. or you will entertain yourself or you will have to look for animators and raise the people yourself.
аватар jabetta
Thank you!
I asked more about manti :)
аватар luvita29
By manti. To the south along the coast (3 km) there is a hotel under construction. Behind him, even to the south of 300 meters - 500 lagoon. Everything was there. When we were, we didn’t see it. For climbing on the reef on the belly, it’s better to have a wetsuit or special shoes.
аватар luvita29
It is better not to go to Alexandre Dessollet. Outwardly, it looks bad and depressing.
аватар jabetta
How were you there from the boat or from the shore?
аватар luvita29
from the shore
аватар jabetta
Did you take a taxi there?
аватар luvita29
went there on foot and back

Thank you all very much for your help) After reading about Marsa Alam, I was a little upset that there was no entertainment outside the hotels, although last winter we never went to discos outside the hotel. We visited Soho and Naama - where we did not like it very much. But we decided that it would be better, that there would be something to refuse, than not to have a choice at all) Therefore, we decided to go to Royal Albatros Moderna. There seems to be a reef is also not bad
аватар Voron420
Yes, but in Fantazia, which you planned to visit and inside the hotel, there is not much fun :) although it didn’t matter at all :) who cares. and youth of course entertainment
аватар jabetta
This is absolutely understandable. I would be very surprised (to put it mildly) by a young man of 19 if he needed only the sea. I would think that something is wrong with him :)
