On arrival in Marsa Alam airport we were directed into queues according to tour operator and hotel in order for the tour reps to stick a visa stamp in passports. However, being frequent visitors to Egypt we just went to the small bank window and purchased ours for $15 each. On the transfer coach the tour reps handed out registration... more

I am writing this review as I am sick of reading bad reviews for places. This hotel is excellent..if you're looking for booze and English food then go to Lanzarote but if you're looking for a relaxing trip with beautiful grounds, a beach on your doorstep and one of the best All inclusives I have had then this is the... more

What a fantastic holiday and hotel! We have never been to Egypt before and were a little apprehensive, especially as Marsa Alam is such a new and developing area.

On arrival, the hotel was great, welcoming drinks and very easy to check in. Rooms were very large- ours had 2 bedrooms, one with 2 singles and a... more

A weeks break just before Christmas. Rooms were big and were lucky enough to be located away from the main part of the hotel and therefore it was quiet. If you want to lay on a sunbed for your entire holiday then this is the place for you, all inclusive, friendly staff (if you can catch their attention to service... more

The food was very bland and hardly any choice. Only decent meal was Breakfast - at least the 'Chef' could not spoil Toast ( you do it yourself ). more

The Iberotel Lamaya has its own pier that allows you to bypass the very shallow, unnegotiable coral and to descend directly into the main... more
