希爾頓馬薩阿拉姆努比亞度假村

This place is the best hotel in the world due to the incredible staff… Mossab, Nour, Said and Mohammed (ocean blue) were just so kind and made our stay outstanding. The pools, beach, food and rooms were all outstanding… can’t wait to come back.

This hotel only existed in my dreams until last week! It exceeded all expectations and what made it super special were the staff who were so kind and amazing people… special mentions go to Mossab, Nour in the hotel and Said who worked at the beach and Mohammed who managed Ocean Blue diving centre. The rooms were so comfortable, food had so much choice, pools everywhere and a cute train that drove us to the beach.. not that we needed it as the beach was so close with the best reef in Marsa Alam! Everything this hotel did was five star I want to move in! Will be back multiple times a year. Thank you to the best team ever!

This large resort is located about 30 mins north of the remote town of Marsa Allam, so you’ll need transport. It’s over 3 hours to the nearest town of Hurghada but there is an airport for some charter flights. The Go Bus serves Marsa Allam from Cairo (around 9-10 hrs) and will stop outside the hotel if requested. The whole coastline where the hotel is situated is a diving mecca, but this hotel stands out because of the magnificent coral reefs that it sits on that is perfect for snorkelling and is home to many turtles who live in the sea grass between the reefs. The hotel is not new but is in generally good condition. It is very comfortable, with good facilities. There are 4 pools, one of which is huge and perfect for kids. The grounds are extensive and the gardens are reasonably well maintained with plentiful bird life. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach but they run a shuttle “train” every 20 mins that does run on time and regularly so you can count on it. One negative is the fact that in-room internet costs $10, though Honors members who book through Hilton get it free. There is free (almost unusably slow) wifi in reception. The resort is all-inclusive with buffet-style dining in one central restaurant. The food is not fancy but is plentiful and tasty with a good spread and the service is cheerful. The service is good in general and staff really go out of their way to help. They generally speak good English. Overall the resort is great value for money.
