Five-Star Hotels in Marsa Alam City

Perfect stay, very polite staff - Special thanks to Mahmoud - everything was perfect!

Very,, very nice resort. Friendly staff, especially Moamen from receptiën. Very warm welcome, complete staff focusing on topclass service. High-end luxury resort in Egypt. Food, service, and relaxation extremely good even for European luxury standards.

We were provided with an upgrade to the beautiful sea-view room which we really enjoyed. During our stay we needed a medicine and we were provided with one from the doctor in the clinic placed at the hotel. The time we checked-out we were also provided with a room to take a shower in. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and kind and make us feel like at home. Both food at the main restaurant and drinks at the bars were high quality and tasty.

Almost everything here is absolutely superb. All the staff are fantastic, friendly, and always willing to help. Choices of food are amazing with a very very delicious mixed grill night. Facilities are in a top notch condition, very clean everywhere. Beach is absolutely amazing. Will definitely recommend if you are searching for a resort to relax.

Amazing NEW hotel with friendly and super helpful stuff, high food quality, comfortable big rooms, adorable beach and sea, i recommend it to everyone! # Food: • The main restaurant offers good food, but during my two-week stay, I felt that it lacked variety. • Breakfast (7:00–10:00): There were always two types of salmon, fresh juices, smoothies, omelets, poached eggs, pancakes, waffles, strawberries, and plenty of fruits. • Lunch (12:30–14:30): Always a choice of meat or fish. The pasta with garlic, shrimp, and cream in the main restaurant is highly recommended. • Splash Bar (12:30–16:30): Great pizza, crispy chicken schnitzel, and fresh salads. • Bay View (12:30–16:00): Highly recommend the salmon sandwich and cheesecake. • Dinner (18:30–21:00): Tasty dishes in the main restaurant and both à la cartes. • Tao à la carte: Delicious soups and sushi. • Bay View à la carte: Highly recommend the baked salmon. • Also, great beachfront restaurants at Jaz Riviera and Iberotel. # Staff • Mr. Mohammed Khaled is a heart of this place. Special thanks to him – a highly professional manager who solved my issue within 10 minutes. • Thanks to Abdullah (reception) for the warm welcome and farewell gifts. • Excellent staff: • Alaa (Bay View): Attentive waiter. • Mahmoud Khali (main restaurant): Friendly and polite. • Mahmoud (lobby bar): Quick service, remembers your drink preferences. • Isabelle and Amélie (animation team): they both are friendly and amazing. # Territory • Green, well-maintained, with multiple pools and a large jacuzzi, plenty of sun loungers. • Nice evening walks between Jaz Riviera and Iberotel, but a nearby construction site makes it less pleasant. • On-site: pharmacy, mini-market, souvenirs, ATM (withdrawal fee: $4). • Diving center on the beach. # Rooms • Spacious, modern rooms with soft linens and comfortable pillows. • Glass bottled water, kettle, tea, coffee, paid minibar, iron available on request.

We recently had a 19 day trip around Egypt and I can definitely say that the Iberotel Costa Mares was the best hotel/resort that we stayed at in Egypt and on par with other 5 star resorts we’ve stayed at around the world. We had two deluxe family ground floor rooms with views on the gorgeous 45m long pool for our family of five. The rooms were very spatial, comfortable, clean and had all the modern conveniences you’d want. We spent our days moving from the pool to the beach and back again. The resort’s position on the bay is perfect for swimming with the sea turtles and the sea cows (dugong). There are other reviews that criticise the tour boats being the in the bay but this didn’t bother us - they are far enough from the shore and the bay is certainly big enough for everyone to enjoy. The dive centre, less than 10 minutes walk down the beach at the sister resort, is an added bonus. We had a great excursion to the Dolphin House where one in our group was able to dive while the rest of us did snorkelling. We chose Costa Mares for the location and the great reviews on the food and service. Khalif and his food and beverage team certainly didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed our meals at the Coral Restaurant (buffet) where there is a vast selection of Egyptian and International foods and always freshly grilled or barbecue meat and fish in the evening. The food was fresh, tasty and good quality. Special mentions to Mohamed Allam and both Ahmeds at the Coral Restaurant, Ahmed Mahout at the pool bar and lifeguard Amr who looked after us so well, greeted us with smiles and genuine kindness and worked so hard to ensure that we always received 5 star service. Thank you to the lovely staff for making our stay at Costa Mares such a wonderful holiday.

Very nice resort with spacious and clean rooms. The food is amazing! Fresh and diverse with BBQ outside everyday. the staff is very kind and helpful. The beach is perfect to chill and has white sand. There is a beautiful house reef which you can access from a jetty. At the time we visited (November 2023) it was not too busy, but quiet and relax. Price / quality is the best around!

We were impressed by the quality of the food - in particular, pizza restaurant, Italian restaurant, and daily freshly made pasta in the common restaurant. Also, the morning omelet was simple yet very tasty as well as seafood. Another big highlight is the animation team who made our stay unforgettable. There were always some activities like beach volleyball or aquaerobics for us to participate in. On top of that evening shows in the amphitheater were really impressive - much more professional than we expected and with a great variety of genres. the most impressive though was the Entertainment Manager (Mister Toto) who performed dangerous but spectacular tricks himself on multiple shows. Overall the personnel and other guests were very polite and friendly. Waiters were always helpful and attentive to our wishes. They even danced a traditional local dance with my partner on her birthday, which made us very happy at that moment.

Extraordinary good service from all staff - reception very professional and helpful
