Awesome stay, great service and hospitality, and excellent food!

This was a pefect location and wonderfully appointed, great food, helpful staff. Very much enjoyed everything.

It’s a great place to stay in highly recommended beach is great place is clean amazing food and what I like more is the people very friendly and decent staff , I will definitely come again because of the people there , Every thing is great nothing I didn’t like it great place to relaxation , simply I didn’t want leave ,

Just what I expected

There was a lot of litter in the surrounding area, that no doubt would end up in the sea, harming wildlife

Wifi was very poor, food is of average quality and drinks selection limited re: wine etc. Positives: the bay & sea are lovely, try to have a room facing the sea. Staff always willing to help! For us it was just too big, too many people and not a 5* surrounding. Just personal preference!

Love the adults only feature, loved the activities provided and amenities

This resort feels like a German retirement community and is tailored to a 60+ age clientele. Anyone younger than 45 should avoid it completely.

This hotel caters for German tourism and some British. Good food , relaxing Not new , built 17 years ago but renovated Did not find enough electric outlets in the room Beats 4 star hotels in Europe Good deal for Europeans

Fantastic staff, looked after me very well as a single woman traveller

Having been here five times I am afraid it has sadly gone down hill.First went in 2007,it was fantastic.My main complaint is that the food is not as good as it was,or the choice.It pains me to say that as we were half board we were harassed by certain managers to the point of feeling very uncomfortable. If you want front row on the beach you have to reserve your beds by the latest 7.30 even though its not allowed. Won't be going back.

a great location for scuba divers, with a clean and tidy hotel with helpful staff and a first class dive centre

We stayed during Christmas 2012 with our adult children on half board basis (NB: there are few, if any, restaurants outside of the hotel complex). The hotel and its food were superb and the beach and sea at 21C offered amazing swimming and snorkelling. There was a host of recreational activities to suit all ages and levels of activity (many free, but some chargeable but not in local currency - usually Euros). The hotel had gone out of its way for its clients to celebrate Christmas - at our Christmas eve dinner we were offered no less than 60x different desserts - some gala dinner this was. We will definately return. Note that the hotel is not at Marsa Alam town which is about 65 Kms south of the hotel; although Marsa Alam airport is about 5 Kms south of the hotel. The hotel's web site is not that clear precisely where the hotel is located and Google Maps at times confuses the location of the Lamaya and Coraya hotels. The Iberotel Coraya Beach hotel is in fact at 25.604931,34.60395 (Lat/longs). This information is important as the local taxi prices are extortionate for such short journeys and the hotel mini bus is even more expensive at 40 Euros for each journey to/from the airport. Fortunately, one of our sons lives in Cairo and was able to arrange a much cheaper taxi. In fairness this is the only negative that we experienced and one which the hotel should consider changing to attract independent overseas visitors. Overall, a superb hotel and resort to spend Christmas.

It did not start well being a 5 star hotel, asking us to go out to the front of the hotel to place stickers on our luggage with the room number! the room with a sea view (paid for) was a room with an overgrown garden and more like the bush! next day the gardeners were at work, still not much of the sea was seen. The buffet food was too bland and tastless, the only dinner enjoyed was the weekly "Gala Dinner" which an effort was made. I spoke to the sue chief togther with the F&B manager who were very plesant and assured me of improvements. The rest of the staff were wounderful & eager to please.The hotel is a 3/4 star hotel and not 5 as claimed. They have a lot going for them, but needs a bit of vision.

The front desk staff and reservation personnel (Khaled) were very unfriendly and uncooperative.

Great hotel. Lovely staff and great facilities. House reef was well worth a snorkel. Lots to see! Completely spotless.

We stayed in Marsa Alam for the diving and stayed at this hotel for the reviews. We were glad we stayed here. The Staff is really helpful and the property is beautiful. It is just a short 10 min walk to the dive center, or you can take their free transfers. Book the dives in advance! We didn't book one of the dives in advance and were not able to go to the Dolphin House. However, we went to another spot for Dolphins and swam with a pod of 9 wild dolphins, one was a baby. We swam with them for about an hour then we were too tired and returned to the boat. The dive site was Shaab Marsa Alam. The food was good and had a large selection. We did get sick from the food in Egypt as a whole, but we ate outside of the hotel as well. There is a pharmacy close by that has medication that helped fast. If you plan on going to Luxor, book with the hotel. We arranged it with a another tour company who woke us up twice for our passport and were not able to get us through the check points and so just didn't pick us up at 5 am. We are from the US which is part of the problem. But, that was our last full day there, so we never made it to Luxor. The hotel could have arranged something for us if we told them a day in advance. Maybe next time.

VERY NICE HOTEL, GREAT STAFF
