Really, everything without a doubt, the service that was offered to me is unforgettable. They offered me and my family to choose any room we liked, from a tiny bungalow next to the beach, aqua park and private garden, or any floor of my choice. The food was fantastic the kids were very pleased, lots and lots of swimming pool clean and the staff at the reception were very friendly, especially Mariam she was really sweet and kind. I usually don't rate a lot, but this one deserves it, I have been to many hotels in Hurghada, and I'm not sure why it's categories as 4 stars, it should be 5 stars without a doubt. I have already recommended it to my friend and will definitely come back. .

Words are not enough to describe this amazing new hotel. This is a 7 star hotel .The level of service passed all our expectations. That was our 1st experience with jaz group . We usually don't repeat any hotel but this one will definitely be our favorite destination from now on. We were welcomed by Mrs. Massaouda guest relation manager. A special thanks to her , very professional lady. she was our guide during our whole stay till our checkout. She made our reservation for the à la carte restaurant Amoura .The decor of the whole establishment is beautiful modern style with a beautiful lighting at night to take beautiful pictures.The room view was showing the whole swimming pools area and the sea, amazing view at night . Rooms are very spacious and room cleaning service is amazing .The service that was provided by the employees is extraordinary. Food is another wonderful point , made with a lot of care, details and very well presented , so tasty and alot of variety. The Italian restaurant on the pool was amazing also. The animation team are well educated and presentable. We also liked the dance show presented every day.For the beach we had to walk a long distance in water if we want to swim and we forgot our water shoes but Mrs Massaouda offered us a golf car to take us to the next hotel marina. But the hotel is now working on building their own Marina. But the beach color is beautiful and clean . The swimming pools are huge and warm and extremely clean . They even offer you to clean your sunglasses. This hotel is literally Elite in everything . Next time I will plan for longer vacation .

Amazing food! A lot of all-inclusive resorts don’t have the best quality of food but Jaz Amara really had great food! Snorkeling at the beach is one of the best snorkeling places I’ve ever seen and it’s right in front of the hotel. Beautiful coral with amazing fish and you easily spot turtles and stingrays as well. I haven’t been able to see a dugong but they are also there. The service is great and the animation team is amazing. Every night top-notch entertainment, it was so much fun. The entire hotel is very clean as well. 0 complaints (and if you do, they fix it right away!)

First of all, the hotel is quite large, featuring various pools and bars, yet it remains completely quiet. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The in-room kettle, along with the selection of tea and Nescafé, is a nice touch. At the reception, Mr. Ziad was very helpful, offering general assistance and providing useful dinner suggestions. Mr. Mohamed was excellent when it came to making cocktails.

I really liked eveeythinh about this place: the stylish architecture, the blend-in with the surroundings, the stuff, etc. The hotel beach is very nice, they have their own coral reef which is easily accesible, and their own oasis of desert plants. Most of all I liked the fact that ia is very sustainable and they have a no waste, zero plastic policy. It is the perfect place to recharge, and turn off the volume of everyday noise.

The best decision we made was booking in Reef House in Marsa Alam. Every day we had different kind of breakfast, the collaborators were great! All of them in their role, Taha, Dahi, Yahia, Mahmoud and Mustafa were very kind and helpful with us during our stay. Awesome place owned by Amr, who also became a friend. Also Zizo who was our diving teacher made the experience hard to beat! Everything is high quality when you make things with love! thank you and we wish all the best! hope we can return soon!

    Desert Rose Hotel – A Slice of Paradise for the Whole Family! My family and I just returned from an unforgettable stay at the Desert Rose Hotel, and wow—this place is pure magic! From the stunning gardens to the crystal-clear lagoon, every detail made our vacation feel like a dream. The Grounds – A Real-Life Eden The hotel’s territory is massive and breathtaking—lush palms, vibrant flowers, and blooming trees everywhere. The air smells like jasmine and sunshine, and I couldn’t stop taking photos of all the greenery. It’s like walking through a tropical painting! Food – Delicious & Kid-Approved! The dining options were solid and satisfying—maybe not Michelin-starred, but definitely tasty with great variety. Even my picky eaters were thrilled (a miracle!). The dinner buffet was a highlight: fresh pastries, juicy grilled meats, crisp veggies, and the sweetest watermelons I’ve ever tasted. Pro tip: Don’t skip dessert! Staff – Above & Beyond The team here is next-level kind. A huge shoutout to **Mahmoud El Amin**, our housekeeper, who kept our room spotless and surprised us daily with adorable towel art. Our room was modern, clean, and had the perfect poolside view—waking up to swaying palms was a vibe. The Lagoon & Sea – Perfection for Families The water was so clear and calm, even when the open sea was stormy—ideal for kids! Snorkeling by the coral reef (head to the right side!) felt like swimming in an aquarium, with colorful fish darting around. Nightlife – Shows That Wow! The Desert Rose entertainment team (special love to **Catherine!**) put on fantastic night shows—great music, dazzling costumes, and hilarious audience interaction. We never missed one! **Extra Love for Samsar & the Restaurants A zillion thanks to **Samsar**, our manager, who made our stay extra special with unforgettable dinners at the French restaurant Bistro and Dal Mar**—both were absolute highlights! Final Verdict – We’ll Be Back! This wasn’t just a vacation—it

    Everything about hotel, the staff and the food was great, they really exceeded my expectations. Basem Daoud who assisted us with our check-in and our needs for the stay was great. on the 5th when we checked in it was our anniversary and he made sure that he gets the room prepared to surprise my husband and even got a table reserved and decorated for dinner. What a way to get WELCOMED. My husband was really impressed and 😊. Happy husband, happy wife, 😊 Basem nailed it. Thank you for the exceptional service. Mohammed from house cleaning was on the ball, the swans and elephant towels were 👌 My daughter was also catered for, the resort really is great, they have everything for all ages so there was never time to get bored. The various activities available keeps you entertained the whole day. The area also, is safe to also walkaround day or night so if you prefer night walks definetely a place to come to. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definetely return in future. Definitely VALUE for money.

    Wonderful hotel that met all our requirements/whises and more. Excellent management of the hotel (visible that a lot of effort is put into mantianance and attention to detail), tasty food (considering its an all inclusive resort), great staff (with some minor exceptions), very clean, big and very comforatble room and so on and so on. In my view the hotel deserves a much higher grade than 8.9, that it currently has on booking.com. Great for familes and others; a bit of something for everyone. Very highly recommended.

    Hurghada is an amazing destination that truly has something...

    Hurghada is an amazing destination that truly has something for everyone! The Red Sea is absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, colourful coral reefs, and incredible marine life make it a paradise for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. The city offers a great mix of relaxation and adventure, with plenty of excursions, water sports, and boat trips to nearby islands. The weather is perfect almost all year round, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Locals are friendly, helpful, and always make you feel at home. There are also many beautiful resorts, lively cafes, and excellent restaurants serving delicious Egyptian and international food. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, Hurghada is the perfect place to relax, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sunny and unforgettable getaway!

    I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea...

    I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea goes. My favourite place of all time is the Concorde Moreen Hotel, with the Hilton coming a strong second. We only ate at the hotels, because our time was limited. I used the taxi service offered online by Booking.com, which I found to be very efficient and reasonable. But I am also a seasoned traveller in Egypt and do not find it difficult to negotiate with taxi drivers. (It can be very useful to ask Chat GPT first what an average trip should cost you, if you are unsure, and then use that as a guideline for your negotiations.) It's an amazing experience to go out on a boat, but picking the right one can make the difference. I will be leaving my review on our experience separately (as it warrants a whole story on its own :))

    Very nice and friendly locals! Not many tourists, no aggressive salesmen. The city is not rich, so expect some garbage lying around. Prices are generally very low, not adjusted for tourists (except at nearby hotels). We found only a few restaurants, but many fastfood places.

    Beach area we were in wasn't the greatest,no swimming area ,too shallow and rocky not sandy.Took quad ride out in desert was fun.Lots of fish to see on reefs,water very clean.marss Mubarak has resident dugong and turtles but didn't see the dugong on our visit.Overall nice place ,a bit on the windy side but nice relief from heat.

    Hurghada is a very busy place and popular with all nationalities. I was diving every day so 8 hours a day at sea. I didn't use the shopping centre this time but have done so in the past and it was great. It used to be that you would get harassed continually by traders but not so much these days they really have backed off. I know my daughters found that intimidating when they were younger but today its fine.
