Good day everyone!
We vacationed in Jazz Marai at the end of November - beginning of December 2024. In Egypt 4 times.
I would like to immediately appeal to those who write reviews - please write the next time you were on vacation. If you were on vacation in Egypt for the first time, then your wow is understandable, but you shouldn’t write reviews, because they are not objective, you have nothing to compare with and you are misleading with your wow.

So, right away about the main thing, this is the SEA. The beach and sea are beautiful. The beach is large, sandy, gently sloping, the depth starts from 10 meters closer to the pontoon from the side of the neighboring hotel, at Marai there is a beach without entry and there is little reef and fish. The sea was different, and transparent, and the water with milk glittered very beautifully under the water. There was no storm, there were no big waves, the red flag was seen once a week, and then only for half a day. The water was cooler than usual for this time of year, but it always floated for at least as long and did not freeze.
There is no coral reef nearby, but there are living coral islands and a lot of small fish from the Koraya pier, I saw new fish every day, large fish up to 1 m also swim, but this is closer to the buoys and behind the buoys.
And most importantly, we swam with turtles every day, mostly with one or two in one swim, I was delighted! The turtles are different, I counted 4 or five different ones. I saw stingrays three times, once a huge one, swimming from above a turtle, the “wingspan” of more than two meters. Several times I spotted gray moray eels grazing on a field of grass next to corals, and many times I saw cuttlefish swimming in a line.
ACCOMMODATION: the room is good, spacious, bright, clean. The mattress is a little hard, but comfortable. The bathroom was large, hot water was available around the clock, the water pressure was good, cosmetics included shower gel, shampoo, and soap. Slippers, white warm robes. Cleaning is good, upon request.
They always left a $1 tip; they showed us swans, elephants, boats, etc.
FOOD: for my taste it is very good, thanks to the chef, he often comes into the room, monitors order, is interested in our opinion, he is very pleasant and a professional in his field. By the way, once a week the animators gather at the restaurant for a lesson in cooking Arabic dishes with the chef, a very interesting activity.
At lunch and evening, fish, chicken, assorted meat, i. e.
cooked differently every day. Side dishes - potatoes, rice, pasta are also prepared in different ways, i. e. the food does not get boring. Various vegetables and salads. Fruits during the rest included guava, melon, pomegranate, dates, figs, grapes, orange, persimmon, and strawberries. The baked goods in the morning are varied and tasty. But there is not a large selection of pies and cakes, mostly sponge cakes. I love puff pastry and shortbread, but there were very few of them and only for the opening of the restaurant, but it’s probably for the best - I didn’t gain weight.

I would like to note the friendly and friendly staff at the reception, thank you!
The juices in the bar and restaurant are not bad, there are fresh juices and fruits at the pool once a week with a beautiful presentation and program.
An interesting entertainment program in the evenings, and the same all days, at 8 o'clock in the evening there is a children's disco, then a girl dances a belly dance, and then a young man twirls his skirts, a fire show with light effects, carnival dancing, Mr. Hotel, a gymnastic show and so on every evening is different . But it all ends by 22.00, then there’s live music at the reception and that’s it. Only there are night discos sometimes with animators outside the hotel for 10 dollars until the morning.
The downside is that there is not a single Ukrainian TV channel.
I want to say a few words about the tour operator. TEZ-tour, as always, is excellent, convenient and with almost no change in departure time (it was moved by 1 hour).
An excellently organized excursion into the desert on ATVs, I discovered a completely different Egypt, very interesting, thank you! One minus, it’s very cold in the minibus at night, we caught a little cold, we need a climate control system.
In general, to put it in a nutshell, I recommend the hotel!
P. S. I wrote in Russian so that hotel workers who don’t understand Ukrainian could read it.
Everything is fine, may you be lucky!
