Disappointing Stay 😭 Not recommended at All
* It is not permitted to swim in the Hotel' Beach due to corals. So u have to walk to a nearby public beach to swim under yr own responsibility!! This what hotel wrote on beach!! No privacy or safety at all at the Public Beach due to visitors coming from outside.. * Staff are seeking tips for everything they do even for normal room cleaning.. They are not trained at allll ( loud voice, speaking in non descent way about guests, don't respect guests and leave them waiting in queue at dinner and say don't bother, let them wait!!, staring at guests especially on beach.. Etc) * The Chef was sitting with his family on the pool with the uniform * Food is tooooo bad, tasteless.. Snacks is only bad pizza everyday on beach.. They mix juice powder with water and serve u a cup of colored water at breakfast and dinner.. Fresh juice is sold for 4 - 6$.. They also offer any drink for the all inclusive guests with charge after 12 am!! * Animation Team don't exist on beach, only at the pool.. One day they didn't make a night show and offered a party just for guests who pay 10$ and prohibited others to enter 🙄.. * Rooms are old and need renovation.

The best bet if you trek to Marsa Allam
This large resort is located about 30 mins north of the remote town of Marsa Allam, so you’ll need transport. It’s over 3 hours to the nearest town of Hurghada but there is an airport for some charter flights. The Go Bus serves Marsa Allam from Cairo (around 9-10 hrs) and will stop outside the hotel if requested. The whole coastline where the hotel is situated is a diving mecca, but this hotel stands out because of the magnificent coral reefs that it sits on that is perfect for snorkelling and is home to many turtles who live in the sea grass between the reefs. The hotel is not new but is in generally good condition. It is very comfortable, with good facilities. There are 4 pools, one of which is huge and perfect for kids. The grounds are extensive and the gardens are reasonably well maintained with plentiful bird life. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach but they run a shuttle “train” every 20 mins that does run on time and regularly so you can count on it. One negative is the fact that in-room internet costs $10, though Honors members who book through Hilton get it free. There is free (almost unusably slow) wifi in reception. The resort is all-inclusive with buffet-style dining in one central restaurant. The food is not fancy but is plentiful and tasty with a good spread and the service is cheerful. The service is good in general and staff really go out of their way to help. They generally speak good English. Overall the resort is great value for money.

Not the Hilton standard
The resort is huge, but still well-arranged. There are many sign posts so you can't get lost. There's a tram every 20mins to bring you to the beach and back - but in my opinion, that's for the very lazy people. From our hotel room, we only had a 7min walk to the beach, so it's really not that far. The beach is very nice, but you need to be aware where you can go swimming, because there's a big natural protected area since the coral reefs are right next to the beach. The hotel staff was nice except one guy down at the beach bar. He was always very grumpy to us everytime we ordered something. If you want to taste delicious Egyptian food, or even good food, you will be disappointed here. We were traveling around Egypt for two weeks, and the food at the Hilton Resort was the worst we encountered. At least it's edible. And you have to be lucky if you're wifi works. Mine only worked in the lobby and at the beach. Sometimes it worked in the room, too, but most of the time, I couldn't even log in. I asked at the reception and they tried to help me by chaning the IP-address - but then it worked in my room but didn't work at the pool anymore. I wonder how many people would have this problem if the resort was fully booked and everyone tried to log in...

The Hilton was amazing. Marsa Alam is difficult to get around so an all inclusive best fit out needs. My only complaint is the pool was too cold. But we liked the food, staff was great and very friendly. The hotel offered really great services for people spending a week or more. They have entertainment and activities along with a variety of restaurant options.

What I liked most is location. The coral reef starts about 10 yards from the shore and it is kept pretty much intact. Rooms and pools are excellent. The major issue is restaurants and food. In March 2019 they sold more all inclusive packages than their facilities can technically accommodate. There are two small restaurants on the premises and a food court that remained me a typical high school food court with average food quality and lines everywhere. I spoke to Hilton HHonor manager and she made reservations for us to one of the restaurants for three nights. Otherwise, I had to get up early in the morning and try to make reservations in the hotel lobby in person (no phone calls...). Last but not least, beware of their vine. It is a red substance that is delivered to the hotel in 5 gallon plastic containers and dispensed through the soda taps, somethimes with bubbles, sometimes as is... My suggestion to the owners of the resort is to find an honest Feed and Beverages manager as soon as it is technically possible.

It's a nice hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. The downside is we got food poisoning the first day of our stay and we couldn't use the "all exclusive" we were upsold on check-in. I would stay here again, just be careful of ice cubes on the beach if you're a foreigner!

Good food and friendly staff
On arrival i was offered an upgrade to 'all-inclusive' for only a few extra dollars ... the rooms are clean and comfortable, although the minibar was empty. I also made a few requests through the Hilton Honours club website which never happened. these things rarely do in Africa i have found, so i havent marked the hotel down for that at all. The entertainment at night wasnt the best, although they certainly put in a lot of effort... The shops were extortionately expensive, as you would expect really ... you can buy the same fake goods for much cheaper in town. Pool area is excellent. Bar staff fantastic. The only real problem i had was with some of the guests not being particularly friendly towards Americans! and i really must point out that they were Europeans too !!! ... !

Great resort but be prepared to stay the whole time in it because there's not much to do in Marsa Alam outside of the hotels. We had a few hick-ups during our stay but Michael the front desk manager was more than excellent in resolving everything and sorting our issues out to a satisfactory Hilton standard. Will be staying there again but may be this time will rent a car to go to more diving sites.

It could do better
I booked Hilton Marsa Alam for the third time. Checking in was smooth, staff were friendly and helpful. I had a pool view room which was very clean and spacious. I was very disappointed with the quality of the food at the main restaurant and it is definitely a step back from last year. I ordered a chicken sandwich at the bar and it was a total disaster as I was given a dry bread with a pieces of chicken inside (as the dry as the Egyptian desert). Again, I ordered a pizza in the room and I have to say it was possibly the thickest pizza I have ever seen in my life :-) as thick as my super king seize mattress. The entertainment was not bad but it could be better! One particular girl called Sally was absolutely fantastic, very friendly and genuine , sorry Angelica you are just not a natural!!! Overall, pleasant stay with few niggles that could easily be rectified.

terrific house reef!
House reef all it was cracked up to be , turtles, rays, turkey fish, etc etc etc, and the reef/security staff especially Mustaffa, were outstanding, corralling unruly, ignorant tourists around the ropes(literally ropes) so the coral remains as protected as possible. hotel is very grand, very useful running track, tastefully decorated and the staff is efficient and polite. poor Egypt and its beleaguered hoteliers that have to cut rates to allow international riff raff to cheapen the experience. Weird rule about men dining in "short" shorts was enforced, too bad some of the women weren't sent back to change also, I'm sure most of the fashion offenders forgot that you should wear something that covers your bum when going for dinner! the food was pretty dismal except for Egyptian theme night (theme night is also a vague concept and you can get just about everything every night)..the beer was always cold however. the "shows " were truly lousy but you don't go there for the entertainment above the water, the quality of the snorkeling was great..lots of outside people use the reef too, so you have to pick your time to go otherwise its very crowded in the water. Go and enjoy the snorkeling, the beer , and the lovely beach.

Perfect place for family vacation
Fantastic 3 years old hotel on amazing bay "Abo Dabab". Sandy beach, house reef, big rooms and good food. It was the 7th time for us at Hilton Marsa Alam where we really enjoy the hotel facilities and friendly staff. Everything was perfect except one problem regarding housekeeping, when we were back to the room after lunch to take rest before night activities and we found the room was not cleaned although we left the room at 9 morning and we're back at 2 pm. We had to call the reception 3 times before we escalate to Duity Manager, who solved the problem by 3:30 pm. Starting from next day, we didn't face the problem again, as they clean the room once we leave at the morning. It seems that the Housekeeping guy was new and didn't get the required training to know how to deal with the guests. Otherwise, everything were up to our expectation and we are planning to go back by June this year for diving.

Family relaxation holiday
It was a fantastic family holiday. Resort facilities' conditions are very good. Rooms are big with balcony over looking sea or gardens and equipped with 42" plasma TV, mini par, hair dryer, iron, A/C, fan, shower tube, desk, High speed internet (surcharges applied except in lobby area it is free wireless access) and international telephone. It is very comfortable room with Nubian decoration style. There are 4 outdoors swimming pools (one of them is for adults access only and 3 of them heated in winter). The most wonderful thing is the beach, where we enjoyed a sandy beach on a small bay (Abu Dabab). We were luck to sea 3 big turtles, reef shark and a huge dogongol (sea Caw) while snorkeling in the bay as well as the live corals and color fish. There were good varity of food and restaurants in the resort where we enjoyed the open buffet in the main restaurant and the a la card dinner in the pool restaurant, Nuba lounge as well as the oriantal food restaurant (presenting Egyptian food). Staff are friendly and they learn quickly what you prefer and like during dining (drinks, deserts, etc) so, we felt at home starting from first night. Also, I enjoyed a daily foot massage (of course surcharges applied) but I got discount for a full course of 4 sessions. I returned to work very fresh after this holiday and my colleagues commented on my positive attitude after I refreshed my mind. I strongly recommend it to all of you, as you deserve it. Enjoy :-)

Good stay
the hotel is a very well laid out hotel with pools not overcrowded due to there being 4 and the sea a short distance to either walk or driven there by a electric car! we had a pool view which was good getting out of bed straight into the pool, still the towel problem of people reserving sun beds and not turning up until later in the day, perhaps this could be ruled by the hotel, staff very helpful except the little man on the beach going round shouting volley ball! volley ball! in there best English. Over all excellent stay if you just want to eat drink and sleep.

Hilton Marsa Alam (Red Sea)
This is an extremely well-run hotel. The facilities are new, bright, and in general have a "happy" feeling to them. The location is somewhat remote, but the offshore reefs and diving are a prime motivator for the location. Recommended if you want a less developed part of the Red Sea and very good diving.

Hilton - what All Inclusive should be like
Great resort - ideal for families. Me and a friend had a great week being pampered by the Hilton staff. All inclusive was above expectations. Great buffé food, great snacks at the bars. Local beer was OK - but do skip the local wine and wisky... The room was spacious, modern, clean. Highlights: Private beach have a very good reef for snorkling. There is also a good diving center at hotel & beach. Plus for american pool table and ping pong. Extra bonus: HUGE turtles 100m from private beach, in the middle of the bay. At 4m depth these 1,4m big turtles happily eat the see grass while snorlers and divers admire them from some respectable meeters. Pure awsome, hard to beat. Only issues: Location is "in the desert, 400m from private beach". Closest urban areas are not worth visiting... Ie. no shopping, no local restaurants/food. Also, only saw 2 women in the staff for the whole week. Otherwise staff is very helpful. Will not return since one week is enough. Too much "pamering" for me - too little genuine Egypt.
