Mangrove Bay Resort in Marsa Alam proved to be a major disappointment despite its promising location. The only redeeming feature was the diving center, which operates independently from the resort. Staff there were professional, helpful, and made diving and snorkeling experiences excellent. For those who plan to spend all day at sea, the underwater world here is worth it. Unfortunately, the resort itself failed on nearly every front. Cleanliness was unacceptable: dirty sheets with footprints and even boarding passes from previous guests left in the room raised serious hygiene concerns. The swimming pool was neglected, covered in dust and oil films, making it unusable. Food quality was poor and misleadingly advertised as “full board.” Meals were repetitive, limited, and often recycled, with no variety or proper preparation. Breakfasts were sparse, lunches uninspired, and dinners lacked assortment or fresh options. Worse still, the restaurant staff were notably rude, creating an unpleasant atmosphere at mealtimes. While housekeeping and reception were polite, the dining experience was marred by hostility. Even the “seaview” rooms were misleading ours was blocked entirely by a large tree, making the advertised view nonexistent. In conclusion, Mangrove Bay Resort is not recommended for anyone seeking comfort, cleanliness, or decent food. Divers may tolerate the stay for reef access, but for a relaxing holiday, better alternatives exist in Marsa Alam. Choose a different hotel.

Overall, this is a good, quiet small resort to stay at for the enjoyment of really great snorkeling. I don’t think there’s a better place on this whole coast. The rooms were comfortable and clean (Although I didn’t have to ask for a room change and it was taken care of without a problem). Beds are comfortable, linen is good. Air conditioning and Showers work very well. The room is pleasantly furnished. The resort is a bit rough around the edges, And could use some upkeep but it’s not expensive and the food provided is adequate although it could be improved. The management is very pleasant. The owner is a very engaging person. They arranged for my departure to the airport, no problem at a very reasonable cost. It’s a desolate area and there’s nothing there except the resort. The reef has some nice pockets in it, Not just linear with a fairly shallow sandy bottom, making it more enjoyable. Variety of sea life is good. Sea temperature late April is a bit chilly -a wetsuit or second skin would be advisable. Take mosquito repellent for the evening.

Rien n'a dire concernant la chambre vraiment très bien plage comme toujours magnifique par contre la cuisine déporable pour comparaison avec les chambres et la plage, tout étais froide avec des pomme de terre de la veille..... midi le choix entre une salade ou une assiette chaude sans dessert RIEN boissons comprise dans le prix = eau sprit ou coca cola ! le soir "buffet" mais toujours pas de desert à part oranges coupée ou petit four égyptien acheté ni glace ni crème RIEN mATIN PDJ. minimum pain acheté pas de viennoiseries!
