KuwaitVery good hotel, I enjoyed alot during my stay (my honeymoon) and I highly recommend for others.
Very good hospitality, enthusiastic staff, very good room services. I enjoyed alot with daily night shows. I liked all entertainment team (Hamza, Bibo, Ali, Suzi). I liked the food and helpful waiters at the main restaurant (esp. Alaa).

South AfricaWhere do I even begin - I wish the stay could have been longer. Jaz Riviera is phenomenal - the perfect balance of elegant, modern design considerations and uncompromised principles of hospitality.
Everything from arrival to the very point when you leave, is special.
We arrived in the morning, hours before the standard check-in time of 14:00 and Abdallah immediately assured us that a room would be prepped and we should head to breakfast in the meantime, while they finalise.
We were given a free room upgrade and settled in the room by 11:30.
The food, the beverage options, the variety of restaurants and ample seating between pools and beachfront is unmatched.
The service and attentive staff of Jaz Riviera is truly what makes it world class - to our newfound bestie; Abdelrahman, as well as the entire wait staff between all the delicious meals -
We are truly in awe. A truly priceless experience and an experience that will be repeated soon.
Up to the very last moment when we are checking out to leave and Mahmoud at the front desk helped to organise our transfer to Hurghada- nothing is ever too much to ask for the Jaz Riviera team.

AustraliaWe had a wonderful stay at Reef House! Moataz was the most welcoming and friendly host, ready to assist us for whatever we needed.
The rooms were clean and well sized, and the property is in a quiet area but close to the sea and marina.
Love the eco friendly aspect they are working on, would love to see more of that throughout Egypt!
Skip the chaos of Hurghada and head straight here for a relaxing stay!
The staff were all so lovely and helpful. They can assist you with booking trips or transport at reasonable prices and really do care about your wellbeing during your stay.
One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at during our time in Egypt.

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!

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 🤍

I will never forget this trip thanks to everyone that is working here 🙏🏼 we were able to snorkel and see different kinds of sea animals and corals just few steps from the beach 🥰 they are also quite careful and warning everyone to make sure that nobody ruin the corals or give food to the fishes.. also we had trip to dolphins house and we had wim with them (big thanks to the guys there that took care of everyone and made sure that we had good memories in videos and photos). The restaurant is good the chef was always careful to listen to people’s opinion about food and if they have something more they desire to have ! Rooms are so clean the housekeepers are always careful about minor details

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.

Marina Lodge is lying silently at the bay of Port Ghalib, nearby is the own beach (5 minutes on foot or by shuttle service). The reef with beautiful corals and many colourful fishes is very easy to reach from the beach.
Marina lodge is a very fine hotel, the meals have so many dishes of very good taste. The staff was very friendly and helpful. So I can recommend this hotel very much.

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.
