10 years ago we first came to Marsa Alam. Since then, this is our love. This time it was Brayka's turn. It is obvious that each of us chooses a hotel for himself. And it is quite obvious that each hotel has its own flavor. So, Brayka in corona virus period. Territory: well-groomed, thoughtful, too big to me, but this is by no means a minus, but just a fact. Food: When it comes to gastronomic tours and Michelin-starred, I would not recommend Egypt as such. And if we just talk about rest on the shores of the Red Sea, then personally, food for me has little effect on the choice of a hotel. I would generally recommend to myself one that serves a minimum of portions and a minimum selection of dishes. Perhaps this somehow contributed not to gain, but to lose a kilogram or two. After all, with "all inclusive" it is much more difficult to do it. Well, but this is a personal digression from the topic. The food is more than enough and in a pandemic, just perfect. And if I also say that my husband, who does not like fish, ate and liked it, it's just fantastic. Rooms: if you consider that at 6 am I was no longer there, at 8 pm I was still not back, and at 9 pm I was already asleep, then my opinion about the rooms is probably not too objective. The rooms are definitely big. First, we settled in a room in building 6. Standard room. Just super. Nearby there is a diving center (more about it later), even a small piece of the sea can be seen, quietly, birds. 2 minutes to the sea and restaurant. 3 minutes if you walk very slowly. Two nights before leaving, they asked to move to a supposedly superior, because the building was closed for repairs. We didn't really want to, but let it be. Superior in building 3, in my opinion, is worse than the previous one. Yes, there is a new bathroom and good plumbing. That's all. The room itself is similar, nothing better or even bigger, and the bathroom is even smaller. The sea seems to be seen better, but this is only a couple of millimeters. And if you consider that it is farther from the diving center, closer to the restaurant for 1 minute, but not as cozy and without birds as in the previous one, then the standard clearly does not lose to this superior category. I will say more. In Fantazia Hotel Marsa Alam, in the same period, all people were immediately accommodated in rooms of the highest category, where they really are much better I also managed to visit one country in June and instead of my cheapest standard I was accommodated in a suite. Without even asking. Virus. There are no people. They/hotels do not lose anything, but how pleasant it is to a person. This is at once a completely different attitude to the hotel, different memories, different emotions. In my opinion, it was worth settling everyone in buildings 11, 12 and 13, right by the sea. We asked to move there for two nights when we were resettled, because building 11 was inhabited (2 others were empty). They said they would close it too. Not true, because we saw how they were settled there on the eve of our departure. Anyway.... Staff and service: no problems. Good team. Keep it up! Pool and animation: not the heroes of my novel, so I can't say anything. But I guess that everything is OK. SPA: Alex is good at shove down throat to sell a massage. Well, the Egyptian mentality in Brayka remains the Egyptian mentality. I do not want to offend anyone in any way. But still. We took a pair massage. The girls were talking to each other almost all the time. Complained to the management of the SPA center. I don’t know if something helped. Took a foot massage. Liked it. Then I took another one for a bigger price, but not 30 minutes as standard, but 50. They did only 30. I wanted to make a scandal. But since it was the last evening, I did not say anything, because I did not want to spoil my mood. For a 5 star hotel, this is simply unacceptable. I will say this. If you are a massage lover, then go. But bargain! Don't show that you are interested. You are told $ 30, and you should tell 5 in turn. Well, then there are chances to get even on 10, if you take several. And more. I only recommend Lobna. She's really great. If again in Brayka and Egypt, then my conversation with them will be very short: goodbye, Egyptian television. Or $ 5. I will repeat myself. If you love massage, try it! I don’t want to say that it’s definitely not worth it. Since I actually go because of the sea, such a scam (30 instead of 50 and talking) in a hotel of this level led me to this conclusion about massages on all subsequent trips to Egypt. SEA: as has been stated many times, there are reefs on both sides of the magical lagoon. Both reefs are lively and beautiful. A lot of opportunities for swimming, you can do it hours. If you want - sand, if you want - corals, if you want - even a pier. Fish are present in sufficient quantities. The more you swim, the more you will see. There are several crocodiles that you get tired of watching. Once the dolphins sailed to the lagoon, a dozen. Well, fantastic! You can go to the bay of the neighboring hotel Aurora (30 minutes walk). I recommend it for an experience. If you go to the pier of the northern hotel Queen Marsa Alam (10 minutes walk), it will be easy and pleasant to return to your hotel by swimming. Nothing special, but crystal clear water, shoals of fish and just a new experience. Definitely worth it. From the moment I left my sunbed and swam back at my sunbed back exactly one hour passed. Worth it. The turtle has been seen twice in 12 days. Yes, there are fewer of them compared to some other hotels in the region. In general, the sea is fantastic. 10 out of 10. For what I go there, in principle. And finally the MAIN. I went and took 2 serious books, telling my husband not to take any money, because I will definitely not go anywhere, on any tour, in any shop, even for free, I would lie on my one sun lounger by the sea from 6 in the morning and just swim and lie. But it didn’t happen so .... And I'm infinitely grateful to fate that this guy from the dive center finally talked to us to try. Diving center. We just tried scuba diving before, went on several excursions from the diving centers of the hotels in which we lived. But none of them can be compared to the Coraya Divers diving center in Brayka. We went with them on an excursion to see a sea cow. Well done !!! Yes, we saw her/him/it when we visited the Fayrouz Plaza. But ... but even once stayed in The Three Corners Equinox, where we went this time to see the cow, the divers of that hotel did not offer or even talk about tricks to see dugong (tracking), as the guys from Brayka do. But the cow/dugong is the other story, the most exciting thing is that we became divers and only now were able to truly feel the beauty of the underwater world. To say that we liked it is to say nothing. Yes, at some point it may be difficult, sometimes it doesn't quite work out, but it's definitely worth it. I only regret that I did not do this earlier, 20 years ago. Or at least 10 when I first hit Marsa Alam. As a result, we have 10 dives and Advance Adventure certificates. It all starts with Open Water (4 dives), but I highly recommend taking or at least planning more from the very beginning, because my truly enjoyable dives started from the 5th. Before that, the mask was flowing, the ears, then something else. Diving is something special. I would like to thank the entire Coraya Divers team in Brayka for opening up another world to us. It's wow, it's great, it's love for life. Of course, special thanks to our best instructor in the world, Haitham A. Sattar, to whom we wish many students and we know for sure that he will reveal this incredible world to each of them. Haitham, please, forgive me that I was so stupid at some moments. I will be fine with buoyancy, and I have already figured it out with the mask, you know. You're a great guy! You are a professional! You're smart! You are a good person! You are an example of an Egyptian worth emulating. We will meet you again! And I remember the hat. Our best greetings also to Kris Williams who managed to find such a team, manage them so well and create the right atmosphere. We wish you success, happiness, all the best and the fastest end to this pandemic. Thanks you! And to everyone who has not yet become a diver, we highly recommend Coraya Divers in Brayka. And, by the way, in Brayka Bay, for example, there is Nemo City, where you can see a lot of nemo fish. Oh, what a nice place! The only but. They are at a depth of 21-25 meters. Therefore, there is no chance here, you have to dive, this is impossible to miss. P.S. We crossed paths with a Swiss man of respectable age, who has been diving for 40 years, having even visited Sudan. He showed his piece of paper on which he writes down years and places. Impressed. And when he opens these records, he is automatically transferred years ago to Sharm El Sheikh, where the recordings begin, or to Mallorca, where there is nothing like that, but better than nothing, or to Brayka, which he now regularly visits in late October early November to prolong summer and reduce autumn, which he does not like. I don't know how much longer this man will live, but I wish him many more years of diving. Perhaps we will cross again with him. I would like to. He definitely did not live his life in vain, there is something to remember and where to return in thought. And I would not underestimate the role of the sea in the life of this individual person. There would be more of us like him. Swim! Dive! Collect impressions and emotions! Go on living! It's worth it.…

Unforgettable vacation in an awesome place Just returned from there with my sister, we stayed for 8 nights. The staff is smiley and friendly. I managed my reservation via phone with Mr. Ragab who was very helpful and friendly. The reception team Mr. Medhat finished our check in and check out procedures easily and quickly. Mr. Peter also helped me with my demands in night and early morning shift. The hotel follows the healthy instructions concerning COVID 19 sanitizer everywhere and all staff weared 😷 face masks and gloves. The restaurant staff, all of them are smiley and helpful. Regarding food is good specially at dinner everyday different menu. Also The beach cafeteria is good and the waiters there are helpful. The room view is spectacular with nature and landscape and gardens which is one of the most important things there. The gardeners are working from morning. Beautiful bay, beach and marine life which is excellent for snorkeling, diving and safe for kids and family. The spa is good The animation is funny and good Diving center is professional as I’m certified diver The negative 👎 points and It’s a constructive criticism to improve the service and always states at top. - room are dark needs more lighting - mattress is good but bed 🛌 was old - the toilets in lobby and restaurant needs some maintenance or be renovated - I can’t state the hotel as 5 stars ⭐️ is just 4 - no wi fi All in all I had a great vacation and it won’t be the last time.…
