I would like to say thank you to everyone who writes on Tourpravda - it helped me a lot when choosing a hotel! I also decided to post this review on the site.
We returned just recently - on December 15, in complete delight. Although we read all sorts of things before this. The hotel is surrounded by greenery, good service, everyone is pleasant and attentive. A good guide is Khalid - we tormented him a lot, but I think he enjoyed working with us. Thanks to him and the guides Ali and Hassan. So, in order.
- The hotel is part of the madinat, so you can walk around all the hotels, but only eat at your own place.
- The bay is beautiful, there are a lot of corals and beautiful fish. Buy a mask! It’s not stormy, it’s big+
The sandy beach is a 5-minute walk near neighboring Coraya (5+), we swam from the pontoon - there are cool fish there and the pontoon is short.
- There is only one disco in our hotel for 4 hotels. This is outside the hotel twice a week after the show, we go outside the hotel within walking distance with the animators, the cost is $10 per person.
- The animation is good - near the pool, aerobics, step, dancing, water polo in the pool, on the beach only volleyball, in the evenings the performance is very high quality, by the way.
- Billiards - near the entrance to the main restaurant for free.
- There are shops, the prices are the same as in El-Quseir or in the shops across the road. It makes sense to buy a T-shirt or a towel with the inscription Marsa Alam in the store - and everything else in Hurghada is in duty-free - it’s cheaper there and there is a large selection.
- The beach is large, there are always free sun loungers and umbrellas, the same near the pool, so there is no point in running at 6 am. Italians, Ukrainians and Russians lie on the beach, Germans and Poles lie near the pools.
At the hotel when we checked in there were 20% Ukrainians (sometimes even none), 20% Italians, 60% Germans, 60% Poles; there were no Arabs vacationing here.
- Excursions are more expensive than in Hurghada, but there are no alternatives - I had to buy them from a guide, and took a fishing and quad safari with my friend. No regrets. Our guide went with us.
We caught fish, the safari was generally great, although we didn’t order barbecue from the Bedouins - we were afraid of unsanitary conditions.
- Married couples relax in the hotel, there is no “traffic”, although Lamaya is the youngest of the 4 hotels. The cocktails are pretty good if you give the bartender a couple of pounds. Although of course their alcohol is much worse, the only good thing is white wine.
- Restaurant. In the morning the food is not bad - European style, porridge, toast, buns...But at lunch and dinner it’s a real glutton, there’s a lot of everything and it’s delicious, there’s almost no line, except near the grill. And the cakes!!! ! oh goodbye figure.
- A huge beautiful lobby bar, in the evenings there is good live dance music, we danced.
- There is a bar on the beach, there is ice cream and from 12 o’clock pizza, buns, tea. Make friends with Muhamed - he is the main bartender there.
- The animators organize early entertainment at the pool throughout the day, local boys, girls from Russia and Ukraine, we enjoyed playing water polo - we played and shouted at the whole hotel - a real blast!
- Many animators understand Russian and even those at the reception don’t, but if you speak English it’s easier to explain yourself and there’s more respect for you, and in general I advise you to learn a couple of Arabic phrases - they’ll smile at you at all times.
- There is Internet, it works well throughout the territory. There is a bank and an ATM.
- The cleaners - everyone from our group put in a pound or a dollar, but not everyone took out towels. They clean well, everything is clean, everything is changed every day.
We were a large group of Kharkov residents - we met on the bus and it was fun and interesting for us, although I think it would be good for the two of us or for newlyweds or pensioners or businessmen tired of the hustle and bustle.
Compared to Hurghada, it’s expanse, it’s clean, the air is excellent, the sea is crystal clear.
Although if you need discos and shopping, this is not the place for you...
The big minus is that it is far from Hurghada airport - 200 km; the direct route to Marsa was more expensive and did not suit the dates.
This was the only unpleasant moment during the entire vacation, because the road is very long and tiring from Hurghada to the Maraya Marsa Alama hotel.
The pool is next to the sea, it is very convenient, but towels are only provided from 8.30. in the evening everyone dresses beautifully and walks around the territory and along the embankment to the barn. take evening clothes. Swimsuits and tank tops are not allowed into the restaurant.
In general, the hotel is 5 points! If you are interested in anything, ask! It’s a long way to Luxor - 6-7 hours there and the same amount back, because the buses go almost to Safaga, gathering people in a convoy of buses and then to Luxor, we decided not to go there, although our friends went, they liked it, although it was tiring.
