EgyptOur experience was truly exceptional from start to finish! Even before we arrived, Mr. Ali reached out to ensure every detail was perfectly arranged for a seamless honeymoon stay. His thoughtful approach set the tone for an unforgettable trip.
The resort’s prime location on Coraya Gulf Beach was a highlight, with stunning views, crystal-clear waters, and a serene ambiance. The weather was perfect, enhancing both our beach and pool experiences, which were equally delightful.
What truly made our stay memorable was the incredible staff. Kind, helpful, and full of humor, Abd Al Raheem, Ahmed, Yahya, Abdo and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness.
We left with cherished memories and are already looking forward to returning at the earliest opportunity. Thank you to everyone who made our honeymoon so special!

SloveniaThe style of rooms, the cleanness, the vie, the location, but most of all the hospitality. The room made me feel like I am in the mountains in Switzerland and then I looked out of the window and there was the sea and the palm trees🥰 Mustafa was always ready to help, advise and meet my special requirements. Amer made me feel like I am visiting old friends, he showed me around and was making my stay so much more special. It was a wonderful time, and it will for sure be my go to location every time I visit Qusier. Thank you🙏🥰🙏

EgyptThe breakfasts are very good and plentiful. If you have the slightest request, do not hesitate to talk to them because they make your life easier.
Thanks to Mostafa, we were able to discover 2 incredible beaches with crystal clear water.
Also, we went several times to the GOBUS agency to get our tickets to Cairo but without success. The latter was constantly closed. Mostafa called to have the agency open especially for us. Without his intervention, we would not have been able to purchase our tickets.
The team is very cheerful and they will always do everything for your well-being. they are very helpful. We needed a hairdryer, Mostafa found one for us.
Also, there is room service, which is very rare in Egypt, outside of resorts
The place is very clean, very quiet, facing the beach and only 2 kilometers from the center. The bedding is exceptional. I recommend the place with my eyes closed following my experience.

We stayed at the hotel from May 4th to May 20th. We arrived around 1:00 AM, but official check-in was only after 2:00 PM. However, the staff was very accommodating and we were already in our room by 1:30 AM.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious. We never saw any queues at any of the food outlets. Even during the busiest breakfast hour, there were at most 2-3 people in line in front of the chef making omelets or fried eggs—just waiting for their order. I’d particularly like to highlight that at any time, there are a huge number of waiters in the restaurant who are extremely quick to bring drinks and clear dirty dishes—literally instantly. We dined at the outdoor restaurant, where for every 20-30 tables there were always 5 waiters working. Everything was top-notch!
Every day, the main restaurant offered several types of meat, a wide variety of side dishes, and a huge selection of dishes. The mussels were especially impressive—absolutely excellent!
Overall, my impressions of the hotel were only positive—I didn’t notice any downsides, just pluses. I’ve never seen so many beach attendants (beach boys) at any other hotel. There are lots of them—they walk around every 5 minutes offering drinks, all day long.
Among all the hotels around the bay, Jaz Lamaya is the most convenient in terms of its proximity to the pier.
There was never a shortage of sun loungers by the sea, although it was very crowded around the pool.
Every day, a PR representative named Christina walks around the hotel grounds. She listens carefully to all requests and resolves any issues instantly. Christina, huge respect to you!

Second vist to concorde and it was as amazing as the first !! The room was beautiful it was massive, had touch screen controls for house keeping to make your room or not, your own personal WiFi box inside the room which was amazing! The staff made sure I had food as I arrived later on in the evening. The staff everyone was amazing asharf in the lobby bar and the manger in the reception cant do enough for you! The animation are a big part of the hotel not pushy for activies always happy day and night provided shows evenings and daily activities. Restaurant was OK I am a vegetarian and did have to ask the chefs most days if something had meat in as it isn't labelled if it is vegetarian including the salad as sometimes there was meat inside but I did find something to eat every lunch and dinner and the chefs got to know you and would come over to me straight away letting me know if there was meat inside which was amazing!! All the staff are so friendly in the hotel and are always so helpful if you need anything, they are always happy and smiling throughout the day home away from home 🤍

The beach and the sea are amazing, really outstanding. The beach areas are beautiful, lots of space and privacy, access to the sea is fantastic and the sea itself with its unique marine life is a paradise. The food is excellent, lots of different dishes that we loved, international or local, a really great food experience, breakfast, lunch and dinner were just delicious. Than you very much to all the staff, for the kindness granted to us 24/7 and for making us feel at home. We loved every single aspect of our stay. Everything was outstanding. Simply PERFECT. Thank you very much. We are looking forward to come back for our next stay at the amazing Three Corners Equinox Beach Resort.

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.

We had sun beds reserved for us on the beach, dinners sorted out at their beautiful and delicious restaurants, and the room was perfect to wind down in! Couldn’t ask for a more pleasurable and relaxing stay which is just what we wanted!

We stayed in the tent and chalet. It’s a different experience but both are wonderful. Everything centred around and well organised for guests to enjoy underwater life to the max. The concept attracts a certain type of clientele, mostly divers, who are not there to party and make noise but to enjoy and respect nature. Wonderful to disconnect.

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."

I mentioned everything in my review, what I liked and didn’t...
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.
