on the whole it was a relaxing stay in this area. However we very small flaws in the shower and toilet mountings.(shower head holder very loose./ toilet-flushing water supply very small but only on one day./ shower head holder was four days after a complaint not repaired.) the breakfast were the self service-coffee automats overloaded, since only two available. That is why I would recommend this hotel for a half star devalue! Read more

We were a bit skeptical about this vacation on, as we had never decided for us vacation in Egypt to make, as the epitome of mass tourism was. Admittedly, lured us then the unbeatable low price for ten days. All-inclusive. Quickly, however, that under no circumstances can we our vacation in Hurghada spend and so we found the best alternative-Marsa Alam. The prospective from Hurghada airport (a direct flight to Marsa Alam there was unfortunately not with our dates) extended a little. So we could get some impressions and our views on the city. ...

You can tell, that the hotel is past its peak. Room decor shabby, bed are worn out, hair dryer broken. There were sufficient food varied, only on days with local cuisine or grill okay. In shallow water not only from donor impossible, as unhygienic. 15 euros extra for 14 bottles of water per week unacceptable! In other hotels a flat per day free. Only a Internet computer; WI-FI only in lobby acceptable but expensive. Guest structure: German, Scandinavian (majority), Russian Read more

Anyone visiting Marsa should be aware that there is a coral reef, a few hotels and the desert, so there is no entertainment or places to eat/drink outside the hotel complexes.

We had e-mailed the hotel a few months before to ask for a sea view, and we got a lovely ground floor large sea view room so we could literally walk straight onto the beach as it was right on the end block so would recommend asking for a special room if you require. - in January 10
Anyway onto the room, we had e-mailed the week after booking and asked for a room with a sea view and on a high floor.

Quite a few people, including myself had upset tummies in varying degrees, there were many theories but once recovered I was careful to avoid luke warm dishes, rice which was kept warm and bread which may have been handled, rather than being held with a napkin while cutting. - in March 10
Milk can be obtained from the pool bar, I saw a few people taking it back to their rooms in a cup or water bottle. - in January 10

Yes there is no waiter service, but that would not be possible in a hotel of this size. - in October 09

Location
- in July 10
There is a jetty from the beach leading to a diving platform and a snorkelling platform, and for those non-divers the snorkelling is amazing, and highly recommend it!
- in July 10
- in May 10
Location is good and the Snorkelling was excellent, the free water park was fun and we could not understand why there was hardly anyone there. - in October 09
Snorkelling was excellent but it did get very busy especially in the area where you can walk into the sea, we tended to go in early in the morning when it was quieter.
- in May 10
- in February 10
Snorkelling is fantastic but the sea was a bit rough when we were there - Egypt was getting some storms. - in January 10
The snorkelling is fantastic as the hotel is situated in a bay and there is a jetty to walk down which takes you straight in to the sea.
- in February 10
- in March 10
The reef may be good but the visibility was wrecked by the worst winds they've had in the area, consequently I didn't go diving but the snorkelling was OK on the last two days. - in December 09
The reef were good and easily accessible and the bay remained relatively calm in spite of the constant wind
- in March 10
- in June 10
Good snorkelling with plenty of fish to be seen, although visibility at times was not great, was strange snorkelling above divers!
- in June 10
- in June 10
The snorkelling here is great. - in March 10
The snorkelling is great too, if you are not too sure about going out into very deep water you can have a walk around the beach and enter the sea from the shore.
- in June 10
- in April 10
To start with what was good: Beach: As we love snorkelling, this was a great choice for us - the hotel has one of the best coral reefs we have seen - you can access the reef easily from a jetty and you are immediately surrounded by wonderful corals and plenty of fish.

00 to midnight Pool bar [Mesma] serves all non-alcoholic/water/beer & cocktails [also re-opens at night] all drinks beer/wine/spirits are 'local' and are perfectly drinkable unfortunately all bars/lounges/reception/lobby areas are smoking areas Pools [3] are clean and well attended with plenty of sun loungers around with fixed shading over - however "towels are down" at crack of dawn and you would be struggling to find loungers in the popular areas after 08.
- in August 10

Loads of sunbeds around 4 fantastic pools. - in September 09
A FREE WATERPARK less than 5 mins walk away which has toilets, refreshments and loads of sunbeds.

The service was excellent , the food was good , the place was spotlessley clean and we had no tummy upsets. - in October 10
The pool was regularly check and pool guys were given snorkels to clean the tiles in the pool, Food was good and hot food was usually hot, I would think only picky eaters would find fault with the choice. - in August 10
The food is good, although influenced by the central European client group, and there is usually good choice - even my picky 15 year old ate regularly! - in July 10
Food was good considering it was buffet and we stayed for two weeks. - in July 10
The food was good, always hot and with a decent selection though my husband would have preferred it a bit plainer though he is a bit too fussy! - in February 10
We found the food good, the wines and beer were fine but the gin was poor quality and the staff did not understand the word "small" gin so in the end we made our own gin and tonics. - in January 10

If you want helpful, polite, friendly staff, excellent accommodation, lovely food, a beautiful setting, no worries about getting a sunbed or having space to relax in, no clonking high heels going by your door in the early hours - then the Lamaya is definately for you.

Food- Poor in comparison to other Egypt hotels, poor selection, and the themed restaurants were not very good either, this was evident by no customers, we were invited by the hotel as 'Special Guests' to the italian one and the food was cold and I am not sure where you get a 'Surf and Turf' in Italy! - in April 10

Sunbeds - Plenty of them, hotel was full and we never had a problem. - in October 09
