NorwayThe hotel itself is a masterpiece of architecture; new, tasteful and modern, and at the same time giving a delightful atmosphere of ancient times. Not to forget the magnificent library! The hotel is located near the sea with perfect conditions for snorkling the coral reaf from a pier at the hotels beach. Pool is pleasant and superclean as the rest of the hotel. The restaurant serves the most delicious egyptian meals. All members of staff are attentive, very helpful and nice.
Absolutely no pushing of sales.
The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.
Like finding a hidden diamond.
Go for the all inclusive.

Czech RepublicI recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel in Egypt, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of service and overall experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff demonstrated outstanding professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness. Their warm and welcoming attitude made me feel truly valued as a guest.
The cleanliness throughout the hotel was impeccable. Every area, from the guest rooms to the public spaces, was maintained to the highest standard, which greatly contributed to the comfort and enjoyment of my stay.
The culinary offerings were equally impressive. Each meal was expertly prepared, offering a wide variety of delicious and well-balanced options. The quality and presentation of the food were consistently excellent.
In summary, my stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations. It was a truly memorable experience, and I would not hesitate to return in the future. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking exceptional service, comfort, and hospitality.

Our spontaneous decision to spend our holidays at Steigenberger Coraya turned out to be perfect. From the moment we arrived to the moment we (sadly) had to leave, we were treated with wonderful service.
Location:
The hotel is beautifully located in Coraya Bay, protected from the strong April winds and surrounded by flowers and palm trees. Though the hotel is a bit older, it’s very well maintained and charming. Our room 1315 had a beautiful sea view. We love snorkelling and spent most of our time on the beach. The beachside service was excellent - always attentive, and my mojitos and margaritas were great!
Food:
The food was delicious with plenty of variety, including tasty local dishes. There’s a lady by the beach bar who bakes fresh Arabic bread, it smells so great. Lots of vegetables, great meat options, and very little junk food. We ate a lot, but it felt healthy.
Activities:
There was something going on every day - yoga, tennis, theme nights, volleyball, and more. Big thanks to Freddy and Kristýna from the animation team and to the tennis coach who made my first tennis session so much fun!
Service:
Mohammed, our warm-hearted waiter, took excellent care of us. Also, Ismael and the entire reception team were incredibly attentive and generously offered us both early check-in and late check-out. Our room was spotless thanks to Ahmed, who was always there when we needed a new beach towel.
We truly had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back!

Staff. This is incredible how hard those people work. Everybody was so kind, helpful and smiling. Great waiters (special thanks to Mamdouh:)), people who take care of cleaning, people in spa, at the bar, at the reception, animators (Islam you’re the best!) - they are doing an amazing job. Good choice of tasty food. We didn’t have digesting problems not even once. Very good drinks. Rooms are cleaned everyday. There is service by the pool all the time. Lot of very well kept greenery all around the hotel. Hotel is not crowdy. Close to airport - 10 minutes so you don’t waste time for traveling. Sandy beach, beautiful bay and coral reef. Simply everything.

It was very close to the Abu Dabab beach, which was one of the best beaches I've ever been to, with amazing snorkelling, sunbathing and diving opportunities, and some nice bars to get some cold beers. The rooms were clean, cosy, and comfortable, and the area around was full of flowers and greenery, which gave such a nice feel to the place. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, always making sure we were ok, and the food in the restaurant was great. This place is great for SCUBA divers or people who like to spend most of their time by the ocean.

You can reach Shams from Marsa Alam airport in less than an hour! Every members speak english, italian and deutsch fluently. The cook Mohammed and his staff prepare international and local food every day, three time a day. The chambers are enormous and beautiful!
Let me say thank you Shams! We will carry all of you, in our heart!

The food was more than excellent, varied, the selection was phenomenal. This is our 5th time in Egypt and I can say that this is the hotel with the best food and service. Super friendly, unobtrusive staff really made us feel at home. Unforgettable experience, and Gemma resort will remain in our wonderful memories.

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.
"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."

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.

Some places offer excellent takeaway food.
Some places offer excellent takeaway food.
There is a public beach a little further away (a short walk across a small desert area) with exceptional underwater flora and fauna. Bring shoes for walking in the water. Please stay above or near the coral (personally, I didn't know there were risks to swimming too far from the reefs, namely sharks. But I didn't see any. On the other hand, there were some exceptional fish!
Port Ghalib is a tourist spot but much, much quieter than Hurghada. If someone tries to sell you something, just say ‘La, chokram’ with a smile and everything will be fine. Don't forget to tip a little, as Egyptians earn very little (around €400 per month for a family of four). For activities, I recommend Royal Sea Tours (royalsea-tours.com), who are really great.
