The main means of placement of tourists in Mars Alam are hotels. Their great many here. Most of them are focused on tourists who prefer the hotel type of rest when the entire infrastructure is directly within the hotel.
There are no old hotels in Mars Alam, as the resort arose relatively recently and against the rest of the rest, is young and promising. The main star of hotels is 4 * and 5 *. Economical options with category 3 * Not much, but there is still a choice. It is only necessary to pose them in advance for their booking, otherwise you can not have time. Most divers stop in them, because they are important for them to be accommodated, and not the level of service.
As you know, Marsa Alam is rich in its underwater world and coral reefs. In this connection, not all hotels have a direct good approach to the sea. For the most part, this concerns accommodation in the center of Mars Alam. In this case, a free shuttle service to the nearest good beach.
As in all Egypt, the best hotels here are located on the seafront. Their beaches are equipped with free sun loungers and umbrellas.
In Mars Alam, many hotels oriented families with children with children. They offer: baby food, animation. There are water slides on their territory, and in some and their own water park.
Well, now I will tell you about hotels in which it is worth stopping, if you want to relax in Mars Alam:
1. Iberotel Lamaya Resort 4 *
One of the best family hotels. He has the main building and bungalow building. Large crushed territory, with a large number of lawns, colors. The beach hotel is good with sandy entrance to the sea. Next there is a coral reef. In winter, there is a strong wind, there is a beach, where it blows not so much.
Children here will be fun. There are water slides, a children's pool, a playground, a good kids club. The hotel is good, many of the staff understand Russian.
2. Fantazia Resort Marsa Alam 5 *
This hotel is probably the most popular among Russian tourists, resting in it, drew attention to the Russian speech constantly heard from about everywhere. And it is clear, the hotel is very pleasant, home with a unique atmosphere. It is located on the first coastline. It has an excellent landscaped area with a widely developed infrastructure. Babies here will be very comfortable, there is a children's pool, in the restaurant Children's menu, mini club, playground.
The beach from Fantazia Resort Marsa Alam is considered one of the best in Mars Alam, I fully agree with this. But just in case you should still swim in a special shoe.
3. SENTIDO ORIENTAL DREAM RESORT 4 *
This hotel is suitable as it is impossible by the way to those who need silence and peace. It is built in oriental style in the form of 2 and 3-storey buildings. Great meals, a lot of meat, fish. In the evening very quiet, there are no particularly animated programs. The beach is good, sandy. Nearby there is a very beautiful coral reef. You can go to this and with children, there is a playground on site, mini club and children's section in the main pool. Children - Hotel I would not really call, but in general it is very comfortable and good. Beautiful very well-groomed territory.
4. Cataract Marsa Alam Resort 5 *
One of the oldest hotels in Mars Alam. In essence, I would not call it five-star. Rather, he is a good four. But, what is he good. I like the presence of two beach in it. There is a purely sandy with a good occasion in the water, and there is a coral, where the entrance is only in special shoes. Reef is very beautiful here. Also, every evening a disco takes place here on the beach, but inlet entertainment and animation in the hotel is boring. It is best to go here a large company, if anyone needs fun, otherwise you can get bored. True disco dilutes this silence and peace in the evenings. You can go here to relax and with children, there is a playground, a mini club and a children's pool, there is also a pool with an artificial wave, but this is already for older children. Good food, a large territory, there is a pond. In general, everything is not very bad. Comfortable hotel in my opinion.
5. COAL BEACH DIVING HOTEL 3
One of the non-expensive hotels in Mars Alam, but very high quality. He is focused primarily on divers, in the hotel itself there is a diving center and a swimming pool for training dive. The beach at the hotel is 100 meters away, nodding is nice sandy, there is a beautiful coral reef nearby. In addition to divers, an older European couple is loved to relax here, elderly European couples. Very quiet and calm. For children, there is also an opportunity to relax here: children's pool, mini club. But I would advise families with children yet another hotel.
