Mina a Salam is a great hotel, the well equipped and had a very good service has to offer. All of the staff were very helpful and accommodating. We can recommend this hotel with good conscience. The only complaint I had was, that on our last day at 22,30 evening should be picked up. No extra charge you could only stay in the room until 14 o'clock. You rate the rooms would have had to pay for a half day extra, you would have had to leave the room at 19:00 o'clock still. That is not our opinion. A half day pay for five hours longer room use.

Therefore, the 'normal' life almost only in the air-conditioned rooms. times outside food: impossible. Unfortunately... Read more

We had a deluxe double room with a splendid view of burj Al Arab-very quiet. Pure relaxation. The food was varied, always fresh and warm (in the hotel). Toscana restaurant is well worth a positive recommendation. The hotel staff even on 48 °C in the shade on the beach for the guests even with small refreshments (ice cream, fruit, cold towels all inclusive). An Abra you did not wait time 1 minutes and the drive was always an experience in the hotel area. Next year we will book the same hotel again.
Beware of taxi drivers, the tourists (like ... Read more

WEATHER was fantastic WILD WADI waterpark you get free entrance into when staying at this hotel which is excellent BAD POINTS WELCOME after the welcome i was disappointed and wanted to move i am glad we stayed though as one of the only bad points, when we arrived there was a bit of hassel and one thing that was not told to us and has not been said on trip advisor is the reception ask you if you will be payin cash or card within the hotel, so we said cash as that was our plan then he asked for £600, £100 per night (which you get back at the end or will pay for what you use) we did not have enough spending money and £600 to give them so they said we had to give a credit card and they wont take the money just use as a guarantee, when i checked my credit card they had taken it off, i think you should have the choice or should be a smaller amount than £100 per night.

I know that many people love this hotel and the reasons for the good reviews are easy to understand, however this is the first time we have booked a 5* hotel without using the 'leading hotels of the world' guide and you really could tell the difference, they do have some way to go before they could claim this type of status. - in October 09

However, because we booked the upgrade at the hotel (as the management suggested in an E-mail, and also, as explained earlier, nobody in the UK seemed to have any useful knowledge of the upgrade), we then needed to cancel the return transfer, as we became applicable for the premium upgrade return transfer to the airport, which was even more luxurious, with a BMW, mineral water, cold towels, and rear seat TV. - in August 10
We arrived at the hotel approx 2am, and were greeted by a friendly chap, who offered us cold towels and fresh orange juice – which was well received. - in July 10

It took me a while to write this review because it was a corperate event it was slightly different than going on holiday with my wife or family however it was so good i decided to post even after this amount of time it and it is still the trip I talk about all the time I stayed with a work colleague in a bungalow I think it was room 9-11 but not 100% we travelled back and forth on the small boats which was a n excellent experience as you came around the corner and saw how superb this hotel was the service was second to none breakfast was always hot and served with a smile we had a meal on the beach the second night and again service was superb in the bungalow every night was happy hour were drinks were served free and snacks which was a great treat the rooms are huge and everything you needed was there bath large shower dressing room and double vanity the only down side was not enough time to explore this hotel fully but I'm sure I will return one day
- in October 09
- free soft drinks
- in September 10
The drinks like other people have said were very expensive, all the drinks alcoholic or not (we actually didnt have any alcoholic drinks there during the days on the beach and our bill was very high just water, pepsi, some non alcoholic 'mocktails'- a platter of fresh fruit was about £15) but u have to drink in 45c heat! - in June 10
Had lovely touches, like fresh fruit everyday, and a small present each evening, such as a bookmark etc. - in June 10
Sewing kit, salts(tub), lotions, slippers, lavander oils, comfy bathrobes, daily fresh fruit, newspaper, mini bar, flat tv, hair dryer, dvd, coffe maker, power converter, automatic A/C, vanity mirror, living room, free Wi-Fi, complimentary snacks and laundry service. - in May 10
Every day we received a fresh fruit basket and a folded origami-type animal would be made of our towels and left in the room which put a smile on our faces. - in April 10
the fresh fruit bowl the mineral water the chocolates the towel animals fresh his an hers slippers the little gifts that were left everyday were all a nice touch and all the more gave it a very welcoming feel every time we got back to the room.

I have seen lots of people getting very angry with the waitresses and staff at the hotels, they can wrong order, bring cold food or never show up. - in January 10
The reason for cold food, the kitchen is some distance away. - in January 10
On the Wednesday, leaving my wife in bed, myself and my son went into the hotel restaurant to eat and again the food was cold.
- in March 10
- in June 10
Beware drinks are expensive - £4 for a can of coke, £10 a cocktail and £30 for a bottle of wine. - in August 10
