“Awful Stay Clear!”

Cinderella Beach

Jul 20, 2008

What can I say?? you pay for what you get and I didn't expect 4 or 5 star but this place is 2 at best........most of the folks had sickness and well free colonics! the food is awful inedible and suspect, the staff are trying to do their best with what management tell them and the substandard food available sort of trying to "making a silk purse out of a camels ear" they angle for tips at every turn and you are constantly bothered on the beach by local tour guides touting trips, camel/horse rides annoying when this occurs on a daily basis I honestly think the pool is part of the problem never did I see it being checked for contaminates and the area manager kept hiding from guest's complaining. The snorkling is the best part of the trip it is beautiful but this can be found in many other places than here......my advice pay a bit extra for a better hotel and give cinderella a miss it needs closing down and is nothing but a health hazard.

The hotel was advertised as a 4 star all inclusive hotel. In my view it was no more than a 2 star hotel. The rooms are a reasonable size but require upgrading. There were several power cuts each day and night, probably to conserve energy.

The staff are friendly and helpful but need training and the hotel needs inward investment. The food was limited and the standard suspect. A lot of the crockery was badly stained and some chipped, cracked and dirty. The cutlery was limited and not always availble.
The bar was poor and ran out of soft drinks, beer, spirits and glasses each day.

There was a lot of sickness and diorea among the guests during our seven day stay at this hotel. It was not a good experience and I would not recommend this hotel.

Look for a genuine 4 star hotel before booking your holiday. More details can be provided if required.

we visited cinderella beach as a cheap last minnute deal for two weeks. Initially we were quite nervous, as the hotel was very quiet, and two weeks is a long time to spend in such a remote location, which it is! BUt this holiday was great, The be3ach had the most amazing house reef! Pool was ok clean, with enough sun loungers. MY boyfriend diod the padi open water course at the neighbouring hotel which is 5 star, and when you do this you can use that hotels facillities. If you are into diving a trip to abu dabeeb is a must, as we got to see a dugong(sea cow 3m long)

The diving wasn't cheap. I am qualified and I paid £40 per dive. The padi open water course worked out to be £320.

Food was average for egypt. avoided the meat as it was poor quality. Was good the first week, but a bit repetitive. Fed up with it by the 2nd week.

There were no problems with any of the all nclusive drinks. They give you free bottled water. spirits were good wine poor.

Advice get your currency out there from the hotel next doors cash point as you get a better exchange rate, plus all the prices in Marsa alam were in euros so we were often finding ourselves working out euros into egyptian pounds back into english pounds.
