Was on vacation with my girlfriend. Everything was great! CORALS in this bay are amazing! Once I saw a turtle in this bay, murena too. Good quality of food, great entertainment by animators! Love them. Sea in the bay is great, no waves at any wind!
It's always good to know you have friends out there in the world. 🌎 This is my second stay at Aurora Bay Ressort, Marsa Alarm. Initially, I came here for the great house reef. From a beach ⛱️ which is covered from wind by a few sandstone hills you can directly walk over sand into. The first fish already say hello 👋 before even wearing a mask. When having snorkel and fins on, there will mostly be silvern and partly yellowish reef groupers over the reef's top swimming. I saw an octopus 🐙, many sea turtles 🐢, different kinds of groupers, mackerels and many rarities which, under other circumstances, usually are reserved for divers like a scorpion fish or crocodile fish or a manta. Usually harmless, as long as you watch it and not touch it, and always a great story to share when sitting on the dinner table. Keep remembering, you'll always be surprised by nature just the moment you expect nothing. 😉🙃🙂 So, coming to discover the underwater world definitely paid out. 😃 I last time met a few people at the beach and now, we're spending another vacations together, sharing our stories and enjoying heartfully, thoroughly spiced foods, very friendly waiters and while watching the little swimming pool waves, the palms, hotel buildings, and the desert and mountains as wallpainting. The rooms are mostly equipped with a large living room and kitchen area, so it feels like a very private, comfortable home for vacations. 🙂 Summarizing, I seeked an adventure when I came first time and found family and friends who give me a more than pleasant time at Aurora Bay Ressort, Marsa Alam with an authentic Arabian Style.…
It's a very bad place, very pompous staff, they don't want to deal with and help you, but when you tip them, everything is changed. It's a shame. 🤷😡😡 È un brutto posto, personale molto pompous Het is een erg slechte plek, erg pompeus personeel,
I was 7 times in Egypt. Till now this is the worst hotel because of the food and drinks... food presentations, taste and organization is soooo bad... drinks so bad served in paper cups and juices are serving with water... very bad quality
Hotel is very nice but a little bit used up, but all is clean, function, food is very tasty (include pizza for chidren), beach is wonderfull, sea perfect (fishes, turtles can see everyone). And biggest benefit? People, all people are very friendly, decent and helpful.
was good time th staff is great and food is ok but the beach is wow its always nice to make some trips so we had the best time in snorkeling we was in dolphins house our tour guide was great i recommend for every one was honest and funny he share infos with us we had fun with him and sure we will go back
We came back home after a holiday in Aurora Bay resort just some days before this horrible unbelievable catastrophe. It's extremely difficult to write a review from a country which is at war now.... But somehow I joined all my internal reserves and do hope that it may be helpful for someone to read it.The main thing to be told is the priorities I pay attention to once choosing the hotel. And in my case it's the sea and sea world. Being a Marsa Alam lover, I have already visited some other hotels and places, so I can compare.SERVICE and accommodation. Well, what I can tell. Can be better, for sure. At least some renovation is more than welcome. Some stories with the rooms changing, not working taps and so on. But all in all, don't forget that you are in Egypt and the amount of money you spent for the trip, so. As a result, we had a great room (actually, we are coming to Egypt because of the sea and not because of the nice room), no problems with cleaning or serving in the restaurants. Even without tips. Smile! And you will receive a smile in response! As well as a really nice holiday and time. FOOD. Can be better, for sure. But you are in Egypt, and you know pretty well the price of your tour. So, what else do you want? There are no Michelin star restaurants in the hotel and area. But it will be extremely difficult to stay hungry. Wine is not drinkable. But all in all, we were absolutely happy with the food. So, no compliment in general. Swimming pools and animation. They are not the heroes of my novel since I'm not using swimming pools and don't need animation at all. But my 16-years daughter was happy with the animation. Actually, it looks like a nice team. Weather in February. I was in Egypt in December and January. Now, also in February. And I like it very very much in February! Yes, it's not the Egypt we know with always hot weather, really warm nights and bathroom temperature water. But having winter in Europe and staying a couple of months in dark cold rainy weather, February sun rays in Egypt are vital, very pleasant and extremely nice. It's possible to swim in the sea as well, but wetsuit is highly recommended.And diving is still pleasant and comfortable. I also highly recommend dive club DUCK SUPERIOR. All in all, I like the holiday in February very much and would be happy to come to Egypt in February 2023 too. Yes, it's a bit different than in summer. For sure it's better to come to Egypt min twice a year. But Egypt in winter has its sharm for sure. SEA. Actually, the main, the first priority. GREAT, FANTASTIC, WONDERFULL.... One of the best in Egypt. You have plenty of choices and directions to swim to. I will not go into the details to explain what species you can see here, no sense. It's also hard to compare, for example, Wady Lahmy, Shams Alam, Brayka Bay, Marsa Mubarak... All of them are unique and nice places. What is clear without any doubt is that AURORA BAY deserves to be and is among the best places in the region. If you are a diver, I highly recommend diving in this bay, both North and South. FANTASTIC! If you are not a diver, I highly recommend you to start. It's a good time and opportunity to do it here in Aurora together with DUCK SUPERIOR. Conclusion.Holiday of the top rate. Loved every moment of it! Will keep nice memories for ages. Thank you very much, Egypt, Red Sea, Aurora Bay team and DUCK SUPERIOR. Hope, I will be able to repeat. One day, when the war is over... …
I was with my family in Aurora. The best on the whole holiday were the Animators. We were on the move all day. Stretching, dancing, yoga, volleyball. An amazing evening show led by Chica. We will never forget and thank you very much for a great holiday
Service wasn't always nice - tip demanding, noisy, not much attention paid to guests. Food ok if you know what to choose (pizza, kebab, grill dishes), however breakfast is always the same. Poor drinks - small cups, drink poured restlessly and limited - only 2 small cups per guest at a time (approx. 150ml, not more). Beautiful coral reef and fish. Loud animations (mind if you want to sleep during their time). Only one, the smalllest, pool has heated water.
Very good beach, the food quality and variety was good but the room location was very very very bad and even they refused to change it after we find more a wall geckos and another day we found two!!! we tried to call the manager and he only apologized!!
