Jaz Bluemarine Resort

My partner and I visited Egypt for the first time on valentine's Day. It was perfect! The hotel is spotless,and beautiful. The staff , especially Mohamed and Ahmed at the pool bar, and Mohamed in the main restaurant stood out a mile with courteous and friendly service,Ahmed never forgot what we liked to drink and we were more than happy to tip these guys Our holiday was purely to chill and do nothing and that's what we did. There was never a shortage of sun loungers and the free towel service was absolutely brilliant. My only annoyance was the constant pestering to buy photos or papers. The pool was supposed to be heated but for some reason it was only warm for the first 2 days of our stay but it wasn't a spoiler for us. The rooms were adequate in size with water and drinks available.the room cleaner was wonderful ,and left some beautiful towel sculptures on our bed. The food was plentiful and we always found something we enjoyed...the pancakes with cinnamon sugar were lovely . The hotel grounds were idyllic and very well kept and the facilities round the beach were great. My 41 year old man child thoroughly enjoyed the slides haha. Between the two hotels there was plenty for kids of all ages. We got a private taxi to the mall from hotel reception (mall wasn't great but it was worth a stroll) and the driver actually came to find us before the scheduled time to see if we were ok, he was excellent. The staff 100 percent made our stay the best they work so so hard and deserve a lot of praise and thanks. I was very upset to see this country picking up after its difficulties for the Corona virus to then hit, very sad, but so grateful to have visited this lovely land and met the wonderful staff. Tip for the return flight..take a pen...there was a staff member at the airport who charged us for using his pen to fill out our cards ...be prepared for the repetitive security checks ..I think we counted 8..could have been 9..

We arrived on Friday 13.03.20 for a 14-night holiday. I had booked a taxi transfer and after a 30-minute transfer we were quickly checked in. On arrival we joined another group to check in and were then taken to our room, the luggage was delivered 5 minutes later. The room was a good size with a large bathroom, plenty of storage space, free safe, television and tea/coffee making facilities. The room had 2 extra beds that could be used a sofa. The balcony was a good size with a small table and chairs. Three beach towels are provided and these are easily replaced by leaving them outside your room in the evening. You can use any of the restaurants including the sister hotel which means there are plenty of choices. We ate in 2 a-la-carte restaurants which were not part of the all inclusive but were well the extra. These can be booked on a machine on the hotel foyer. There are plenty of snack bars if you just want something quick at lunch. The hotel was not full and with 20 swimming pools it was not hard to get a lounger. The beach was very clean and the water was shallow, this means quite a walk to be able to do any snorkelling. There are plenty of water slides at different pools. The staff were brilliant and very helpful especially considering all the uncertainty surrounding the Corona virus problems.
