Steigenberger Coraya Beach

This was our 6th visit to Egypt but first time in marsa alam, and I’d have to say the staff at this hotel is what made it our best visit. The staff work very hard to ensure you are happy, served promptly, room and grounds kept immaculate, and they do it because they want to, not because they expect a tip. The hotel is clean and well kept, buffet food was very good, and daytime snacks/lunch was the best we’ve experienced in Egypt, ranging from freshly made sandwiches to a mixed grill. With all restaurants being non-smoking gives this hotel a big thumbs up and the dress code is well supported by us. Evening entertainment is not something we usually partake in however it was pleasant to sit outside and listen to the live singers each evening while sipping on a cocktail. It would be a huge bonus however if there was a non smoking section of the Night/Day bar area to make watching the entertainment more pleasurable - this would definitely encourage us to visit again. The extra touches they think of are second to none such as local gifts given to you before you leave, fresh pizza offered to you before your departure (restaurant not open until after your collected for airport) mattress toppers for your sunbeds, beach towels and beach bag waiting for you in your room each day so no need to have to go and exchange them, drinks during the day served by the can/bottle rather than small plastic cups, free laundry, left over suncream/books offered on beach, noodle floats free to use in sea, choice of pillow softness, all these small tokens add up to making a big difference to your holiday. Keep up the good work Coraya

We have recently returned from this lovely hotel. The decor was lovely the rooms were so spaceious and cleaned daily. There is a dress code for the evenings men most wear long trousers (jeans are fine) and for ladies no hotpants, however on numerous occasions I saw many women in hotpants and nothing was done about it. The food was okay. Most of the time it was a lot of fish. A fair amount of choice. Although the chicken when we ate it was very pink looking inside. Breakfast was a little disappointing, you could have burgers and chicken for breakfast which in my opinion is not breakfast, so food thoughtout the day barley changed. The service in the Restaruant was amazing very friendly staff, who would remember what drinks you liked. Another great service was the night and day bar. At night the waiters would come and bring you drinks, you wouldn’t need to move and were so friendly too. The swim up bar however lacked that service, if you swan up to the bar they were very keen to help but if you accessed it from the walkway you had to wait and they never really focused on you. Not really anything to do in this resort so if you want to just relax by the pool then this hotel is perfect for you. The worst part was and this wasn’t just in the hotel but the airport too, but all the bottled water they give you is either a month or two out of date. Although the water itself doesn’t go off but the plastics start to release toxins into the water making it less safe to drink.
