Akassia Club Calimera

Due to some personal vicissitudes, we chose this hotel as a last minute for our honeymoon trip, and it was never more appropriate choice. Since our arrival at the reception, we have been greeted by Mr. Hosni A. Magied in a truly excellent way, which has given us an exhaustive explanation of the structure as a whole, with all that we could find, and an in-depth explanation of all advantages of our package. From here they accompanied us with a golf car up to our beautiful room of more than 50 square meters (standard room) always perfectly cleaned by the gentleman Mina Aved always kind and too helpful, and daily supervised by Mr Nasser, the chef house keeping. In addition to the always-stocked mini-bar, we found fresh flowers and origami with towels every day different, to make us feel pampered. The rest of the resort is fantastic, perfectly organized and very complete, you never get bored, from the fantastic beach where you can snorkel, to the 10 swimming pools, the tennis courts, the spa, the billiards, and even an aquapark. Two buffet restaurants with varied and different choices every day, one of which is directly on the beach, a beach bar where you can have snacks and sandwiches, a bar at the main pools, one at the aquapark and one at the reception can delight every palate. In addition there is the possibility of dining a la carte in three restaurants, one international, one Middle Eastern and one Italian. We had dinner in all three restaurants, where we eat really well and the staff is very kind. Particular mention must be made for the Italian restaurant Al Castello, where you can taste not really Italian dishes (the cook is Egyptian), but really very well reworked with local products and they have very similar taste. Very kind staff, especially Mr Sameh Arafa, Mr Mohamed Abady and Mr Alaa Gamal, all three of whom are very attentive to our needs and always available to satisfy us and make us feel at ease. A fantastic team. Mr Alaa Gamal we were lucky enough to meet him throughout our stay, including breakfast at the main restaurant and lunch at the beach restaurant, a truly exquisite and very sweet person, he always made us feel pampered. A privilege to have met him. The animation present but never intrusive allowed to have fun from the morning on the beach, until the evening at the new amphitheater and then again at the disco on the beach. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, and I definitely consider the Akassia club a mandatory destination for those going to Marsa Alam.

The hotel has had a couple of advantages: fine architecture, fine, well maintained gardens, big pools where there are no towels reservations practice from early morning hours. Fine architecture of the room. Impressive aquapark and the amphiteater, very impresssive indeed. Nice beach with a lot of sun beds, comfortable 2 sea jettys, easy way to snorkel along nice coral reef. Feeling a space, don't have a feeling of overcrawded. A couple of things in need to improve: The taste of some cooking meals, the quality of soft drinks - every time we had to ask for adding ice, the space with main buliding without air conditioning, too little space to take a seat around the bars inside the main buliding, entertainment team fo us was not too much visible. We appreciate hard work of hotel team. Overall worth of 7 days visit. For us not for more.

This hotel i have visited 3 times and each time it has got even better than the last.The hotel is very impressive and kept to the highest standard of hygiene.A lady named Dr nadia probes the food to make sure its at the correct temp before each service.There is a wide varied choice to choose from so there is something for everyone,however it does repeat itself. Hosni the Guest Relations Manager is fantastic he will go out of his way to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible.Any problems he can sort out he will ASAP, Rooms are clean and spacious some more than others,the decor may need updating but thats all. I have made many friends here,Aziz,Mina,Ashad,Banana just a few to mention. All the staff here are friendly and make you feel very welcome. More english need to visit this hotel and experience the warmth you receive from check in to check out. Book your trips when you have your welcome meeting rather than at home as my experience was a nightmare. Take your currency with you,Euros seems to be the easiest as getting the local currency has not been easy.There is an ATM at the main entrance but not reliable so i suggest you don't use it. I suggest tipping staff with English notes as this is easier for them to change in their bank. So english guests book today!!!
