Really, everything without a doubt, the service that was offered to me is unforgettable. They offered me and my family to choose any room we liked, from a tiny bungalow next to the beach, aqua park and private garden, or any floor of my choice. The food was fantastic the kids were very pleased, lots and lots of swimming pool clean and the staff at the reception were very friendly, especially Mariam she was really sweet and kind. I usually don't rate a lot, but this one deserves it, I have been to many hotels in Hurghada, and I'm not sure why it's categories as 4 stars, it should be 5 stars without a doubt. I have already recommended it to my friend and will definitely come back. .

The hotel is beautifully designed, and really nicely furnished. We stayed in a family room with pool access - it's not so much a private pool, because it's shared with a few other rooms, but you have a section of it to yourself. The hotel was opened just a few weeks ago, so it was almost entirely empty. Everyone was super nice and friendly, especially Ahmend and Khalifa in the beach bar! Location is excellent - directly in front of the hotel there is an underwater meadow, which brings turtles and sea cows in every day, there's a diving centre on the beach and the reef can be found a short swim away to the edge of the bay.

Amazing food! A lot of all-inclusive resorts don’t have the best quality of food but Jaz Amara really had great food! Snorkeling at the beach is one of the best snorkeling places I’ve ever seen and it’s right in front of the hotel. Beautiful coral with amazing fish and you easily spot turtles and stingrays as well. I haven’t been able to see a dugong but they are also there. The service is great and the animation team is amazing. Every night top-notch entertainment, it was so much fun. The entire hotel is very clean as well. 0 complaints (and if you do, they fix it right away!)

Amazing place to stay in Marsa Alam, very luxurious. We had the full board option and all the food was amazing (would highly recommend the full board option as there isn't anywhere else to eat around the resort unless you have a car). They can also provide a takeaway lunch if you are going out on a day tour. Beautiful buildings and great views. Lovely big pool with lots of beds to lay on. The staff were all very friendly. The only downside to this accommodation is that although there is a beach in front of the resort, you cannot actually swim here due to a reef and if you do want to swim you have to walk about 10 minutes down the beach to a pier which enters the water about 100metres out where you can snorkel (although is very deep here). It think this is quite common for a lot of the resorts along Marsa Alam.

The staff have been exceptionally supportive, welcoming, and available throughout our stay, from check-in to check-out. Outstanding customer service, outstanding attention to everyone. Ms Eva, from Customer service, would check in from time to time to be sure that everything was perfect. We got a room upgrade with a sea view, double bathroom, and double room! You have plenty of food choices throughout the day, and you'll never go hungry! Mr Ahmed, chef, and Mr Osama, the restaurant manager, are always ready to respond to any request. There is a heated swimming pool. The Aquapark is fabulous. The gardens and the whole structure are well maintained. The Kids' Club is nice and Ms Asel makes sure the kids are entertained and are enjoying the activities. She is really sweet. The hotel also offers excellent activities for adults throughout the day, spanning from yoga to zumba, beach volley, etc etc etc Guests who want to enjoy relaxing music and have some quiet time can relax at the Gravity Peninsula, farther from the main beach. All in all, we strongly recommend Gravity Hurghada and we hope we'll soon go back.

The resort is beautifully designed, they have lots of flowers and palm trees that really are taken care of. the rooms are spacious, the cleaning couldn’t be better and the staff is very attentive if you tip. The food was delicious and a lot of variety, even at breakfast time. Every evening they have a different specific cuisine so you can’t get bored. we also tried both of the restaurants: vista mare and the fish restaurant and both were delicious. I can’t understand how people can complain about the food, as we read online in Egypt you can really have problems with the food but here it’s not the case. As for the animation, the animation team is fun, we participated almost in every activity and we really enjoyed it. The resort also has a jogging trail that we ran every day. We will definitely come again here because we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Cleopatra & thank you to all the people that made our stay feel so pleasant. Hakuna matata!

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the hotel manager, Mr. Hany Hassan, who was always available to ensure our stay, was comfortable and free of any issues. I also want to thank all the staff members who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious and varied. The stunning sea view added an extra touch of magic to our stay. I will definitely return to stay at this hotel again and will recommend it to all my friends and family. Thank you for making our stay an unforgettable experience!

The room was beautiful and spacious. The beds extremely comfortable. I loved the location of our room, close to the pool and Aqua park that my kids loved. The food at the main hotel restaurant was exceptional, so much variety we couldn't possibly try it all. We definitely ate far too much and it was all delicious. I loved the location, the beach was beautiful and the garden's absolutely stunning. There are enough pools that even when the resort was full it wasn't over crowded and the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Definitely value for money and all the extras were such a surprise!

The location is fantastic, and the hotel’s beach is stunning—spacious, beautiful, and perfect for relaxing. The staff and the reception team, were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond with their service, making me feel truly welcome.

If you want to see the real Egypt, don't go all inclusive, get out of the hotel, people say its dirty, I say maybe in some places but remember you are basically in the desert so sandy/dusty. Very friendly people, don't worry about haggling its part of the experience. Never felt unsafe, tourist police are there to keep everyone safe, and they do. Be polite and don't forget to tip, its not the amount especially, any tip is welcomed, egyptians don't earn much generally. Boat trips are brilliant to any of the bays, but get that spf on

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 :))

"I did not leave the grounds of the Iberotel Costa Marès. There are already so many wonderful things to do like snorkeling, diving, massages and especially the many activities offered by Captain Mahmoud's extraordinary team and the high quality shows performed in the evening. All the staff are adorable, attentive, attentive both on the beach and by the pool as well as in the various restaurants, not to mention the maintenance staff and gardeners, the cooks, the waiters (mention special for Ahzem from the main restaurant, Abd Allah at the pool restaurant, Mostafa who is part of Mahmoud's team, Hod Hod on the beach and many others of whom I don't really know the spelling of their first name. are all very courageous, with a sense of humor and kindness like I have rarely seen. Everything is put in place so that you only want to do one thing... come back as quickly as possible."
