Hot Springs Hotels in Qesm Al Qoseir

We have been visiting Novotel at least twice a year since 2017 (outside Covid) and have always been extremely satisfied, beautiful accommodation, a really famous coral reef and good variety of food and services, coresponding 5* hotel. Unfortunately, with the arrival of the new management, drastic changes have taken place. Apart from the standard all-inclusive, all the extra services from the all-inclusive were cancelled, such as extra drinks other than the all-inclusive, classic espresso or good coffee for an extra charge were also cancelled. Currently the hotel only offers all inclusive and nothing else outside of the extra food you can buy. In case you send an email inquiry to guest realtion you will not get a reply. In case you contact top management about services for extra fees, you are indiscriminately sent somewhere. Over the last two years it has become more than clear that hotel management is fully and mostly focused on Polish clients, who are now the majority and the rest, although regular repeat guests, are not that important. Now it is the Polish market. The last straw was the unannounced reconstruction of the pier / the only access to the sea / during our holiday. I don't think anyone would want to spend a lot of money on a beach holiday when they can't even enter the sea. The excuses that the reconstruction started during windy weather were totally vague and misguided, as the reconstruction was suspended for the same reason of bad weather, and surely the contractor didn't just happen to have precisely measured stairs ready when it just started blowing hard and the management just decided hooray, let's break down the pier and get started... I would like especially to thank Mr. Abdo from the Concierge team, the Reception Manager and Mr. Mahmoud from his team and Mr. Hamed from the Lifeguards team and his team for the great service, support and many times better attitude than the top management over the all years. Gentlemans - thank you very much for your great and profesional work and support over all years! Regretfully, based on our recent experience over the last 2 years, we will not be returning to the hotel, downgrading it to an ordinary 4* with only an all inclusive option and nothing more. We are not alone, other regulars we have met at Novotel have the same opinion and the hotel will no longer be on their list.

Overall nice 7 seven days spent in picturesque hotel. Whole area of the hotel was well maintained, though the hotel is not so new. Well-tended gardens with green bushes ”smiling” at you every day :) Hotel room we got was renovated with a sea view from the balcony, cleaning crew came daily, we had no complaints about their work. They even left detailed towel animals, basically the whole zoo lived with us by the end of our vacation. When it comes to the beach, places are assigned at the begining of your holiday, all of the relatively close to do see. What deserves the biggest plus is amazing coral reef 7 m from the beach at most. Animation team is really commited to making your stay enjoyable with beach activities and evening shows. They are not nagging and gently encourage people to join. Food can become monotonous at some point. The breakfast variety might not be wide, but still its easy to find something you like. There were some issues with pastas in the main restaurant, as they really lacked consistency with pasta far from being al dente, though in the Al Amira Restaurant this problem was non existent. And finally, the biggest issue. Shuttle buses, taxis from outside the hotel cant drive beside the gate. It might not be the issue if the gate was close to the lobby, but it isn't. Roughly 500m walk through a construction site, with comments from men is really not fun for two women. Interestingly enough, we had few rides, some drivers could come in and some couldnt. We got the information that it depends on the deals the hotel have with outside companies. But again, this should not happen for guests of the guests.

Nice swimming pool and beach. Too much flies. The check in was too long and the room not ready.

I was really happy with the hotel, it was beautiful and nice, the food was beautiful, the hair was very good, the princess was very good, the girl was very beautiful, the work was very beautiful. And such beautiful food, and the sea is so sweet and different, and one day it will be beautiful because of the things that happen there, and a hotel❤️

We just enjoyed a fantastic 3 centre trip to Egypt ... Aswan, Luxor for history and El Qusier for snorkeling.  After a 5 hour drive across the desert from Luxor we arrived at another of our favourite hotels in Egypt, the Moevenpick, El Quiser. Our third visit here. After ten days of Egyptian history we came here to relax on the beach and for the superb and easy snorkeling.   The hotel is a low rise development built in Nubian style. As a result it is quite spread out, but we enjoyed the exercise. Our seaview suite was tasteful and stylish in muted tones, with Nubian accessories. Storage was good and the bathroom had an excellent walk in shower. We had a lovely outside area with 2 sunbeds, 2 chairs and a table and a fabulous hot jacuzzi pool. There are screens for privacy/shade should you want them.  Due to its isolation half board is compulsory. The breakfast buffet is excellent with the usual choice of fruit, cereals, pastries and freshly made ommelettes etc. Evening meals are equally good, in themed buffet style with lots of variety. We ate once in each of the a la carte restaurants, Seagulls and Al Fresco. Both had waiter service and the food was exceptionally good. Both pools are close to the sea but we prefer the long sandy beach where you can walk straight out into the sea to swim or snorkel. Even better snorkelling is off the end of the jetty where you simply walk down a ladder into the sea. Turn LEFT, swim past the jetty and you are in the wonderful undersea world of a drop off ... like an underwater cliff, which is teeming with every type and colour of coral and fish. You swim out against the current and drift back with it ... just so easy and so much to see. Amazing. There's also a highly regarded Dive Center here for those who want to scuba. Heads up about the beach ... you need to be up early !! By 7 am all the front row is gone !! This is a place to relax and unwind and enjoy the hotel facilities. In the past we have enjoyed sunset drinks at the Rock Bar but sadly it was too windy this time. The hotel runs a shuttle to the nearby small town where there is a fort but we didn't go there so can't comment.   We found all the staff to be friendly and helpful, and special thanks to Alaa and Ebeid for keeping our room so beautifully. When we were there a cargo ship had just grounded on the reef offshore. The hotel is doing its best to make up for this with the guests. Fortunately the small oil leakage has not affected the beach/coral at the Movenpick as the current is taking it South. Hopefully it will be resolved quickly to avoid further damage to the beautiful marine environment of the Red Sea.
