Ukraineit’s just a perfect!!! everything, every detail, every person, every small thing was in highest level.
The room was big and stylish, with so cool views. All team of hotel was like a family, with best level of hospitality and all time ready to help.
territory of resort green, absolutely clean, and smart organized.
Few swimming pools was clean every morning and it was just enjoying to be there. beach and sea amazing beautiful. the home reef 🪸 - it is even better, than you can imagine and for snorkeling and for swimming.
about 5 restaurants of this resort - I must to write another post. perfect quality of food (and if you remember, it’s in Egypt), lot of variations every day, fresh and delicious 😋
and if you see “all inclusive” in this hotel it’s really inclusive ALL: good quality of fantastic cocktails, best coffee, lot of food - fresh grilled salmon, risotto with lobsters, beef Wellington, unreal fresh homemade bread, fresh mango juices….
and last thing, what made my holiday idealistic- SPA! if you can imagine, best massages from really good qualified people, with natural handmade cosmetic and full of care about your mind and body. I’m actually a big fan of SPA, and have a lot of experience in this topic, but it was one of the best, what I ever tried! 🫶
Ireally full in love with this cozy high level place ❤️

Inside the resort we did many excursions from horseback riding in the water and in the desert to the view of the coral reef. We used the SPA which gave us sensational massages. A special thanks to the staff for welcoming and pampering us from the first to the last day. We will definitely be back Jacopo and Francesca.

Second vist to concorde and it was as amazing as the first !! The room was beautiful it was massive, had touch screen controls for house keeping to make your room or not, your own personal WiFi box inside the room which was amazing! The staff made sure I had food as I arrived later on in the evening. The staff everyone was amazing asharf in the lobby bar and the manger in the reception cant do enough for you! The animation are a big part of the hotel not pushy for activies always happy day and night provided shows evenings and daily activities. Restaurant was OK I am a vegetarian and did have to ask the chefs most days if something had meat in as it isn't labelled if it is vegetarian including the salad as sometimes there was meat inside but I did find something to eat every lunch and dinner and the chefs got to know you and would come over to me straight away letting me know if there was meat inside which was amazing!! All the staff are so friendly in the hotel and are always so helpful if you need anything, they are always happy and smiling throughout the day home away from home 🤍

Having travelled extensively in my opinion the hotel offers excellent value for money given the great location , food and setup. What makes a place worth a 10 to me is when you have special requests or issues that the hotel responds well ,Akassia was EXCEPTIONAL in that department. Wael and Hani (in customer relations) went way beyond what you might ever expect to help arrange a special evening for my wife on our anniversary and to respond to some small issues I had with staff responses . These types of managers are rare and set the tone that the more junior staff follow.I would also like to mention Mahmood who oversaw the free snorkelling trip provided a very professional high quality service. Although you do get approached for trips etc the teams respect a simple no thank you which is very different from other experiences in Egypt.

We loved the beauty of the architecture and grounds, the great Coraya Bay beach for swimming, and the comfortable enclosures for lounging. The superb and friendly service everywhere was a real treat. Mina very graciously moved us to a top floor and our room with its balcony were comfortable and just right. Filtered water in glass bottles was supplied along with a fruit plate and trays of welcome snacks. So nice! We enjoyed the lavish buffets for breakfast and dinner and will include lunch next time. Candle lit evenings by the mosaic pool with its gently splashing jets were lovely. Fine entertainers. It goes without saying that the over-16 policy and the dress code contribute to a civilized experience. Everything is done so thoughtfully and so well.

I liked everything about Shams Alam Resort. The food was excellent, with a lot of variety including gluten-free bread, and desserts. The location was great too, fairly close to famous diving spots like Sharm El Luli and Dolphin Reef. The hotel has good facilities, like wellness center with hairdresser, an exceptional organic essential oil shop with lots of other authentic Egyptian art and souvenirs. The hotel receptionists are very helpful with booking trips and taxis. There is also a diving center and they make trips to beautiful reefs such as Hamadi islands and other amazing snorkling /diving spots. I loved absolutely everything. Don't expect a brand new hotel, it is one of the oldest hotels in Marsa Alam but well taken care of. Old but gold!

We've been to Dahab, Sharm Al Sheik and Hurghada before.
We've been to Dahab, Sharm Al Sheik and Hurghada before. We really like being in Egypt and particularly the snorkelling the Red Sea has to offer, but we wanted to try something new. Marsa Alam is similar in terms of offerings for snorkelling and diving but much much less crowded and much less shopping options. In fact some of the beaches we visited - Marsa Egla and Tondoba Bay - were virtually empty. There were perhaps us and one other small group of people there. The snorkelling was excellent. I suspect most people holidaying in Marsa Alam stay in resorts and don't leave them much. Package tourism - you see these massive resorts up the coast. Marsa Alam itself looks like a city still under construction. There are more half finished than finished buildings. Half of what look like shops are yet to be occupied. We thought that was fine though - who wants to go shopping on a holiday? If you are into shopping this isn't for you. Noticeably, the people in restaurants and shops hussle and hassle you much less than other places in Egypt. I imagine all this will change in coming years given the volume of development. But for now this is a super quiet sea side spot. A village still developing. This also means there isn't lots of cultural things to do.But, if you like to chill with your travel companions, dive, snorkel, kite surf or just laze on a beach (think rocky Red Sea beaches, not Thailand or Australian white sand beaches) - then you'll probably enjoy this. We had good company, books and cards and had a great time. You'll need to make your own entertainment (or go on one of the many organised tours).

The room was clean and comfortable, and the food offered a good variety every day. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The snorkeling experience was amazing we even saw sea turtles, which made our trip unforgettable. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely come back again.

I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea goes. My favourite place of all time is the Concorde Moreen Hotel, with the Hilton coming a strong second.
We only ate at the hotels, because our time was limited.
I used the taxi service offered online by Booking.com, which I found to be very efficient and reasonable. But I am also a seasoned traveller in Egypt and do not find it difficult to negotiate with taxi drivers. (It can be very useful to ask Chat GPT first what an average trip should cost you, if you are unsure, and then use that as a guideline for your negotiations.)
It's an amazing experience to go out on a boat, but picking the right one can make the difference. I will be leaving my review on our experience separately (as it warrants a whole story on its own :))

Qusair is a beautiful small town that deserves two days. One day is too short and three days is too long. The sea view is remarkable and the ruins of the Phosphate factory is a dreamy site that deserves about 3 hours of your time.

I mentioned everything in my review, what I liked and didn’t like. Mainly, I noticed that someone bought a quad bike tour, and they were taken just a little way behind the hotel to ride on a pile of sand for a short while. There was trash and plastic all around, a complete wasteland—nothing pretty. I’m used to greenery, which I understand is lacking in this destination, but I definitely wouldn’t buy an overpriced camel or quad bike tour. Especially because, in that heat, it wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience for me, and with the trash around, definitely not. I did a diving trip, but it ended up being canceled. Unfortunately, they made us leave our things (like backpacks) in a place where locals were moving around, and we had no way to secure them. The original plan was that we would be on a boat. In the end, it didn’t happen, and that was probably for the best. I booked the trip through Booking. I had no particular expectations, even though we were supposed to see dolphins. Eventually, I arranged for diving, and I enjoyed it. Since I’m already a diver, it was easy, but when I saw how they even turn diving into a business, it bothered me. I saw parents forcing their 12-year-old daughter to try diving. She was crying, didn’t want to do it, but the father insisted because it was paid for. I watched her struggle and feel uncomfortable. It saddens me to see that everything can be bought with money, and that’s just wrong.
