Blend Elphistone Resort Marsa Alam

Pros: Food is good for all inclusive standards in Egypt. We've had something different to eat every day and also enough healthy options.

Good hotel for the money but for 2 women it was a bit too much

Pros: Great beach, great food, also lots of variety for vegetarians. Waiting staff at the restaurant and pool bar excellent (especially Mohamed Saber).

Cons: Animation staff very pushy and insistent , same with tour guides that pressure you all the time to book something with them. If you're too friendly in the beginning you never get rid of them. There is a possibility to avoid them by picking up a red flag from the towel pick up place, but the hotel did not inform us of this. In my opinion, It´s a 4 star hotel based on Egyptian standards, not a 4 star European standard. Still , value for money is great!

Pros: Very nice hotel, beautiful and well-kept hotel grounds, very tasty food for a lot of choices Room was very clean . Very big and nice beach with send

Cons: In my aplication Booking.com was price 51€ per night, but receptionist said price 54€, because of exchange rate of dollars and euro, but me I paid in €, how was writing, but in last they gave for us room deluxe, and I was calming. Towels in beach very old and and dirty, chairs for sunning very old and a lot of broking Also very bad animation team, all show was not professional at all and and some of guys behaved very indecently

Best price Quality in Marsa Alam

Pros: My reviews are based on price vs services. Simply delightful as nice facilities, we were offered an upgrade with a lovely beach view as room service came daily and always bottled water available in the room. The buffet is very good only minus is breakfast being a little repetitive but both lunch and dinner always had different things every day. Something no one explains is that there's the drinks that are included in the all inclusive that includes some of the most common cocktails but there's also premium ones that have a cost, not a lot but if you want something branded or premium there's an extra for that. The beach is the Star of the resort we'll kept only a little coral and rocks, in general I don't think you need water shoes but if you like to explore yeah use them. Night activities are good and the animation team tries their best, fire show I recomend. For the price we payed for a week it's one bang for the buck for sure.

Pros: The hotel was very accommodating to our needs. I requested a room change due to a smaller balcony, and they kindly agreed to switch us for the rest of our stay. The main restaurant is excellent, offering a wide variety of both local and Western dishes. I highly recommend trying the oriental restaurant one evening—it was absolutely delicious. We had a fantastic time with the animation team, spending hours playing beach volleyball. Special shoutout to Hamza!

Cons: My only suggestion would be to make the billiard table by the pool free of charge, as it cost €4 per hour.

Exceptional food in a beautiful resort

Pros: This large resort is 30 minutes from Marsa Alam airport. It served the best food I’ve ever had in Egypt during many years of travel there. One evening there was a superb filet mignon. The restaurant service team is really attentive and polite. The gardens are also really beautiful and continuously tended to. The resort has four pools, one is a quiet adult-only pool and another is heated which was nice now in the colder off season. The resort is not sheltered by wind as much, so very windy conditions result in a red flag requiring guests to stay inside the reef which still lets you swim in the ocean in the shallow. There was some animation by the pool and beach area, however finishing at a 11pmish at the latest.

A value property with the food being the highlight of your stay

Pros: The main thing I liked about the hotel was the 3 meals where the variety was amazing the quality pretty good and the service staff were always friendly and smiling and the hotel manager was always there to keep and eye on things. The pools were great and so was the beach and pier. Our waiter Abdelfattah was really nice and kept our same table every day, also offered puzzles for us to solve after we ate.

Cons: The hotel has seen better days, and probably needs an upgrade and refurbishment, the furniture a little dated and had some trouble with the evening entertainment noise, but at least it stopped around 11 pm.

Pros: Everything was great. Room was clean, food was amazing.

Highly recommended

Pros: Was a nice stay in DLX room with a sea view. Daily cleaned, food was delicious, drinks as well. Staff were amazing, helpful and kind. There is a pier to go for open ocean. Very usefull for (lets say advanced) snorchelers. You may join the program there to not get bored. Big thank you to the staff and all the respect to them! When we will need again rest after diving, we will happily come back here, without a doubt 🙂 Petra & Daniel

Cons: I have to complain just about guest's behavior. It is such a shame, how some guest behave with no respect to the locals and other guests - ordering drinks and food in their mother tongue, not even try to speak at least english or OMG in arrabic to the staff. \

Would definitely stay here again

Pros: Nice staff, good reception, excellent food, fun activities

Cons: N/A
