Found some bad reviews online. Now I’m terrified, but there’s nowhere to go, the money paid (the tour was bought without hesitation due to the sharp rise in prices for this direction.

Came back from Marsa Alam a month ago. He flew with a fairy tale. They are trying to settle in the left hotel. Expect to be scammed. Record everything on video, demand written confirmation of everything that you will be told. You can read the whole story in my profile. I will answer all questions.

I need help so that I know what to expect and not step on the rake of previous vacationers. About the 3rd line. I looked, it seems that in Mars all the hotels are on the first, and far from each other (they are based on the meaning of the third, if the coast is empty). Or I'm wrong?

Is your assumption "most likely to Port Ghalib on the second or 3rd line ..." built on personal experience?

They tried to settle us in Braika. We drove to three corners of Fairows. Perhaps everything will be fine with you and they will bring you to the right hotel.
Objectively, if the hotel is not important to you, you can agree to Braika. There is a bay, a reef.
First aid kit. Cream before and after sunburn and more. Allergy pills. From poisoning. Ear drops. From a cold. Cream for bruises, abrasions, scratches.
Sea. It's easier to get a mask and snorkel here. The selection could be better. The mask is better with black silicone, there will be no glare. The tube can be the most inexpensive, there is not much use from valves. Coral slippers if you plan to enter from the beach and not from the pier. Fins on request. if you want to shoot underwater or swim for an hour or more, you will need them.
If possible, buy dollars in small bills. In Egypt, the dollar is often equal to the euro. Not big, but savings.
Make copies and photos on your phone documents.

"Your guess" most likely to Port Ghalib on the second or third line ..." built "
- my proposal is based on deduction: this is one of the cheapest hotels they have, and they usually settle in such hotels according to all sorts of ortuns / tezekspres, etc.
- and the line on the map is clearly visible - do you know how to use the map?

You can write the names of bad hotels in Port Ghalib, Google gives me that there is a 5 * deluxe level. In principle, I agree with you that they will settle in the worst, but as they explained to me, in Mars all the hotels are not bad and almost all are on the 1st line. I want to play it safe and, in order to avoid disappointment, tune in to the worst option

not - I was mistaken, that hotel is called Marina View Port Ghalib Hotel - on the 2-3rd line, I saw it at the extravaganza about a month ago as the cheapest, but now they no longer have it in the selection of tours ...

Good afternoon! We flew from "Fairy" to Marsa Alam for the New Year. There were people on our plane who booked "Fortune 5". The host chooses the hotel. The name of the hotel was recognized at the airport, "Dreams Beach" - they were very satisfied and saved a lot of money. In your case: you save at least UAH 10,000.00 on a ticket. for two (if you look at the price of the cheapest 4 * for this date, this thought should warm). Tip: read the reviews on all 4 * from "Feeria" and be mentally prepared to get into any, wake up the spirit of adventurism in yourself and tune in to the positive.

The only 4 * in Port Ghalib Marina Lodge At Port Ghalib 4 *. I rested there 2 times, a very cool reef and service, a hotel for those who need peace and quiet. BUT in 3 * Marina View Port Ghalib Hotel 3 * they can settle, because. this operator has 4 *. I was not in this hotel, but I walked past it to the supermarket, swam on the hotel reef, I don’t know its minuses, but I saw undoubted pluses:
1. very good rich reef, although far from the hotel
2. there is where to take a walk in the evening, unlike so many other hotels in the middle of the desert;
3. near a wonderful inexpensive seafood restaurant "Divino";
4. Near "Adam Market" with excellent local products, prices are lower than at home. There are also products

At least you'll be on Mars. There is a fairy tale! The main thing is that the hotels of the port of Ghalib do not spoil the impression. To do this, be sure to find contacts and visit, for example, Sharm El Luli. If possible Sataya with dolphins. There is such beauty that you will forever "get sick" with Mars. If necessary, I can share the contacts of a girl who organizes everything at the highest level and who opened this beauty to me.What problems can there be in Port Ghalib - the staff is not as attentive as in other hotels, the beaches are far away and filled with yachts / boats. But at the same time, there are always good beaches, you just need to find out - read reviews on hotels. The current is strong there. I do not remember in which hotel they complained very much in the review.

I disagree with Yuri a little - I don’t like the mask with black silicone, although it is considered much better. This is for everyone :-)
Fins are a must!!! Much easier to swim! She lived in a hotel with a woman who also believed that fins were not necessary. But when I begged her to buy fins, her delight knew no bounds - it's easier to swim, you get less tired, you see much more
Are you going to snorkel at all? Or just rest?

I was in Porta Ghalib 3 times, there is one of the best reefs in Marsa Alam, oddly enough, I have photos in reviews of hotels and attractions, it doesn’t storm at all in the bay even in winter, it storms only in the open sea, yachts are absolutely do not interfere, there are no smells and dirt. The staff is wonderful, at least in relation to my husband and I were. But we are not talking about that now. The person has already bought a ticket "Fortune 4" and is afraid. I have only 1 piece of advice - tune in to the positive, your rest depends on you almost completely.
Marsa Alam has a fabulous sea.

A very strange question, why I was against it. For example, you pay for an iPhone and bring Samsung. He's also good.
I paid for Three Corners Fayrous, not Braika. I rested there before, flew to this hotel, and not to the abstract Marsa Alam.
I have stayed in this hotel before, I have a discount there. Pros: 10 minute walk to dugong bay, 3-way pier and steep reef. There is a separate small beach, which is completely closed from the wind and there are no waves even when red flags are hanging.

Topic starter also advise not to tune in to the negative ahead of time.
As already mentioned, the reef in Marsa Alam is very steep. Almost 100% guarantee that you will see a turtle. If you're lucky, also a sea cow.
In Marsa Alam, the attitude of hotel staff is generally better than in Hurghada and Sharm. There are much fewer Russian speakers here, the main turnover is made by the Germans, Italians, Belgians. You will most likely be satisfied with the service.
Important! If you are planning boat trips, buy more motion sickness pills. And refrain from drinking alcohol on the boat.

in Mars near the hotel you won’t see anything special under water, well, maybe a turtle, it’s all about local fairy tales about the dugong - it’s a rarity there ... it’s better to fly to Mars in the summer - there are strong winds and it’s cooler in summer.
It was like in April - I often had to wear a hat on the beach - it blows hard in my ears, the water was 21-22 degrees - it’s cold without a wetsuit ...

Completely agree with Yuri! This is really annoying!!! Pay for a certain hotel (at what I understand it is more expensive!), And the tour operator settles wherever he wants ...! He didn't have Fortune!!! This is very, very dishonest, probably Feeria does not value her name ..
