The hotel was originally built to welcome Western tourists, so the staff rarely and poorly speaks English.
Russian speakers are not liked. And there are reasons for this:
- when referring to the attendants, they use the appeal to you, as to a slave, without "thank you" and "please", which causes resentment. Here the Egyptians are already accustomed to European culture and do not tolerate disrespect for their personality;
- don't tip
- they take food on themselves and "on that brother", do not eat it and have to throw tons of food away;
- alcohol is the same - they drink it as if it was the purpose of the visit - to get drunk to unconsciousness.
In connection with all this - upset tourists from Western Europe, not used to our "wildness", bad manners, fights for food, drunkenness and obscenities on every corner.
Also on the part of Russian-speaking tourists - frustration that they are not "carried on their hands" here, as in the hotels of Sharm and Hurghada.

Mars Alam is another specificity. More expensive prices, steeper reefs, few pharmacies and markets.
But we rode for the Red Sea and the reef, turtles and dolphins. There's a lot of it here : )
The food in the restaurant is really monotonous. Every day is almost the same. There was no grill. Sweets are tasteless. Of the fruits, there were only green dates and a couple of times someone was lucky - they took guava, strawberries and pomegranates. But to taste - fe. Not that coat. Perhaps because of the season.
Animation - I have not seen better in 2 years of trips to Sharm and Hurghada during a pandemic. Shaggy, and Mido, and Zuzo and visiting Latin Americans work really cool. Lit to the fullest.
From alcohol - bottled beer, aniseed vodka is. We didn't drink cocktails.
Guava juice and mango - in the bar near the lobby. There is also natural delicious coffee. BUT! You need to be polite with the bartender, otherwise he may ignore you for a long time))
A smile and a tip work wonders.
Regarding the windiness - once our pontoon was closed, we went to the neighboring one and to the Palace.
Access to the port and the opportunity to walk along the embankment is a big plus for Mars.
But I would consider other hotels next time.
