Hotels near Marina, Hurghada

The hotel is located in Soma Bay on the Red Sea, more than 40 kilometers from Hurghada Airport, not the majority of people living in Hurghada and Marti Bay. This position has advantages and disadvantages: the disadvantage is that there is no supporting business, there is no business to buy, no way to take a taxi, only the hotel car (no expensive); the advantage is quiet, the entire bay only Westin, Sheraton, Kempins Base and a diving club, so the beaches on the other side are European and American foreigners, did not see other Chinese. The Westin’s beach is far from the hotel and the hotel will be transported with the shuttle bus, so it is inconvenient to play with the sea. But we went to the Westin golf course, which was great. The facilities of the hotel are of course good, the building is renovated and the room pool gym breakfast, etc. are top notch. But I have to spit on the service. When checking in in the lobby, the attitude of the front desk was polite on the surface, but the room for us was particularly bad. I specially booked the golf sea view room and gave it to the far side. Since Soma Bay has not been fully developed, it is now undergoing major construction, giving me only 200 meters of work space in the room, which seriously affects the landscape and rest. I suggested that I had to change a room. The front desk lady was very reluctant to say that there was no sea view room. Then I insisted on asking, only to say that there was only a lower floor facing the room on the edge of the atrium pool. Later, when I was playing, I was close to the original room and found that there was no one in the area. If I stayed, I was the only one who lived near the construction site. After returning, I complained to Ctrip, and the hotel actually told us that Ctrip had changed the room. The sea view room has been upgraded to a pool room. The room service is basically not available. The service during the meal is also normal. After pouring the coffee, even if you add milk and sugar, you will walk away without much attention.

Ich komme schnell zu den Kritikpunkten, es gibt lediglich zwei aus meiner Sicht: erstens der Meerblick. Wir hatten extra dieses Hotel aufgrund des Blicks zum Meer hinaus gebucht. Natürlich garantiert niemand, dass die Bilder genauso sind wie das Zimmer selber, jedoch haben wir aus unserem Balkon auf eine große Baustelle geschaut und auch die Sicht aufs Meer wirklich minimal, da dazwischen auch noch eine große Hotelwand ragte. Vor Ort kann man dann ein Upgrade für zwölf Euro pro Tag pro Person buchen, was bei uns knapp 250 € gewesen wären und somit nicht mehr drin war. Hätte mir gewünscht, dass das online erkennbar ist… Andere Hotels haben oft unterschieden zwischen seitlichem Meerblick und Meerblick.  Der zweite Punkt waren die hohen Preise von Getränken und dem Essen a la carte. Ein Bier aus der Flasche zum Abendessen, was 6€ kostet. Oder eine Mahlzeit zum Mittagessen für 15-20 € ist einfach zu teuer. Die Preise sind in Ägypten. Gerade für Lebensmittel sind sehr billig in Ägypten und ich habe wirklich nicht verstanden, warum Preis Leistung schlechter als in den teuren Großstädten Deutschlands ist. Ansonsten wie in vielen Rezensionen beschrieben: das Essen war gut die Lage ist wirklich top direkt am Riff und die Leute sind fantastisch und freundlich. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und wenn wir noch mal nach Hurghada, zum tauchen oder kiten fahren ist das Hotel unsere Wahl.

The hotel is very beautiful, showing off the beauty of the sunrise over the Red Sea. There are three swimming pools, which are large and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is of high quality, especially the buffet. I hate buffets, but this high-quality and extremely rich buffet can last for several days.

It was by good fortune that we found this resort - our original (very expensive!) hotel could not accommodate us in the room we wanted for one of our planned 9 nights in Egypt. As snorkelling is high on our hoIiday priority list, we booked our last 3 nights in Sharm El Naga and were not disappointed, certainly one of our best 'off the beach' experiences so far. From the land It does all look a bit confusing with buoyed off restricted areas but once under water you can see that the reef is very high in the water close to the beach. Serious damage to coral could be caused if access was not limited. Having seen so much coral bleaching and storm damage in other countries, the Red Sea is relatively pristine and it was a pleasure to snorkel along this coral face. To UK travellers the value for money here is startling. The rooms are a bit tired but clean as were towels and bed linen for a comfortable bed. The food was fine with several choices and we found the restaurant and bar staff very friendly and helpful - not to mention fun loving. - Zanussi and Jamal! The only disappointment was the wifi with both coverage and cost but as it was ”a work in progress” so we will look forward to finding a more efficient system on a return visit next year (if not sooner). The beach had many sun loungers (beach towels provided) and fixed thatched shades. Cannot finish without mentioning Oscar, the new zoological love of my life!! See photo.
