Tell me, please, which "five" in Marsa Alam is the most decent?
Good food is important, not an empty sea, fresh rooms, greenery on the territory.
Choose from the list of "Fairy tales":
Albatros Sea World
Brayka Bay
Hilton Nubian
Jaz Lamaya
Novotel
Movenpick
Royal Tulip
Three corners
Concorde Moreen
I looked through everything, but it turns out that: either there is no greenery, or the rooms are ancient, or the reviews are "well, that's it." "Feeria" itself equipped the base in Braika, they advise it, but I see that it is old, rather shabby.
What do you advise?

Hilton-in the bay of Abu Dabab. As if everything is there ...
Three corners of Fairose - near the bay of Mars - Mubarak with a dugong. And they also keep the brand.

The fact is that in Marsa Alam the choice of hotels is not very large, and it is not very easy for a tourist with high requirements to choose according to all these criteria, you have to sacrifice something. In general, they go there exclusively overseas, everything else is secondary.
Of the listed hotels, I will support those who answered: Brayka Bay, Hilton Nubian, Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza - all these hotels are in famous bays, you can swim even with winds (if you go in the off-season).
Albatros Sea World is also a good hotel, recently opened, with a kind of interesting layout. But, the truth is there is still not much greenery and the open sea without a bay, there may be problems with swimming.
Other hotels are not so popular.

In Braika, the reef almost died, for sophisticated snorkelers - I do not advise. Hilton and Three Corners Fairows - yes.
In the Albatross, you can not go into the sea.
Movenpick in Quseir? Great hotel (was, at least), close to the city, you can go
even hitchhiking 5 dollars per car, own cove with live corals where you can swim
even in windy conditions. They used to feed Pts well, the standard rooms are just too small, as far as I remember.
In Madinat Coraya (Jazz Lamaia) in the bay itself (note, also a bay, not the open sea)
corals are average, but if you swim out of the bay, you can find a lot of things. But for advanced and daring)))

dmitriy_ed, Lesja4, Kasja23, taran_natala, Andrey111, many thanks to everyone for the answers!!!
Thank you for narrowing the circle :)
Hilton Nubian
Brayka Bay
Three Corners Fayrouz
Movenpick
Jaz Lamaya - I don't quite understand - she's not in the first line?
We love the Red Sea, but not fanatical, Egypt is now forced to choose, for children's holidays. Therefore, if the hotel in the sea does not have a very large variety, but the hotel with service is better than others, would choose it. At the same time, I would not want a completely dead sea, after all, we are going to Egypt :)
And more importantly - if pronounced ebbs and half a kilometer knee-deep - it does not fit. From the pictures, it looks like this is the case in Albatross.
Prices are about the same, plus/minus.

If you are considering an option with children, then you would advise Albatros Sia World Marsa Alam. The pluses are the hotel is new, three years old, the territory is 380,000 sq.m. There is an indoor pool. Rooms, service, food at the highest level, the beach is about a kilometer, there is a lagoon up to 2 meters deep, you can splash. minutes with an excursion from the port of Ghalib. Wherever you want, you will see turtles and manta rays and dolphins, and we are lucky as well as deguns. It is difficult to see them without specialists. So, compare the pros and cons of a good holiday in Mars.

Thank you, I see that the rooms are the most normal in Albatross, and the network itself is good. But in the same place .. there is no greenery at all yet, there is nothing to catch the eye :(
Pools are not interested, the water park - perhaps, but rather not.
Tell me, please, "entry to the reef from Pantone" - and what is there before the reef? Can you swim normally or shallow water?

The goal is to relax, switch, warm up, eat, swim in the sea.
Fish are optional.
Discos, intrusive animation, loud sound, crowds - I would like to avoid.

Yes, the Albatross hotel is new, the greenery has not grown yet. The sea is about as you think.
In your scenario, it's really better in Sharm.

they didn’t indicate in the question. that the end of March. I thought for summer holidays. of course, until mid-April, Mars is windy.. I don’t agree about the greenery, see my reviews for October 2018, then the hotel just opened.. there is a photo. Large palm trees on the beach, because they are transplanted already as adults. Flowering shrubs and flower beds all over the territory. Very beautiful. The hotel is very calm. Basically designed for Europe, and they love Luxury. They won’t sit on their heads. When a lot of people swam in the lagoon, there are a few fish to see. The depth is up to 2 meters. In October, the tides were not strongly felt.

If you want a great vacation for spring break, look at the Dominican Republic. In March, you will still find humpback whales. Everything you want is now there. And, a direct flight from Kyiv, although 10-12 hours, is not annoying.

0676307776 Thank you very much for the detailed review and cool pictures! Very informative.
Regarding the Dominican Republic, we considered all the warm destinations, but it’s somehow a shame to fly for so long for just a week, but it doesn’t work for more days, so go there another time, when there will be at least two weeks. Thank you for the recommendation, I'm sitting here reading all your reviews :)

"Unexpectedly: (Everyone, it seems, said that it would go to the end of March ... Is it better to watch Sharm?" - expectedly, no matter who tells you anything, Hurghada and the entire African coast of Yegi are always windy Sharm - this is the climatic and geographical specificity there ...

Everywhere is good. In Fairows, I personally swam with a dugong more than once. But it is necessary to go from the hotel to Marsa Mubarak. And the hotel pontoon in March, the 3rd call will be permanently closed by 90% due to the wind. And from the 1st or 2nd in the lagoons there is always muddy water. I liked the Hilton, but you have to walk to the beach. On the left is a great reef, and on the right is a bunch of turtles. For a change, you can float on the Maliki pontoon and return along the coast. Fantasia has cool 16+ rooms, the beach itself, a pontoon and an outer reef. Was in October 2020. But it is not working now. And in general, most of the hotels are closed and will not open before April. And that's not a fact. Etc. In fact, having only a week of time, go to Sharm. In Mars in March, the weather, in particular wind and storm. can seriously damage your vacation and mood.

I was in Hurghada in different years in September and October, there was no wind at all, the heat was just a hanger. Those. I believed that the winds were in winter, and there was a hope that by the end of March they were gone too. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind :)

I was in El Kuzeira in April - it was simply blown off the beach ... the water was 21 degrees and it was very stormy, but in September there was nothing ... only it was also very stormy sometimes. I was also in Hurghada many times, I remember in the Old Palace (Sahl Hasheesh) in November in the evening there was a full dubar ... but nothing else during the day, and in December-January I visited = it was habitually blowing in the evenings)

Oh, March in Mars is khamsin. Fifty days when the winds blow.
Sometimes the sand carries so that under the door of the room sweeps
snowdrifts, and a layer of sand is poured into the pool. This is often the case in the southern part of Mars.

We were in the Three Corners of Farouz for the May holidays, it was the first trip to Egypt, when we arrived, we saw that everyone was in wetsuits, the water was icy for the first 3 days, that they didn’t even wet their feet, the wind was strong, it was stormy, not all days they were allowed to swim from the pontoon , there are turtles, there is also a coral wall, but because of the wind, waves and cold water, they swam along it only a couple of times, feeding after Turkey and Spain is extremely budgetary, instant coffee, juices, yuppies, etc., went to three times they never met the bay where they take the dugong. one joy is that it was free entertainment, there is nothing at all near the hotel, there is nowhere to buy fruits; ((, and in the hotel with them there is a sparse green guava, dates and oranges.

Zanzibar is different, more atmospheric or something, more colorful, more contrasting, we were 5 years ago, the beauty of the sea is unreal, but here it’s somehow more like a hotel vacation, if the sea is stormy, and Three Corners Farouz was tired, maybe they upgraded him of course ..
