Steigenberger Resort Alaya Marsa Alam – Red Sea

We have been to quite a few 5-star-resorts around the world - and this one really is tip of the top. Maintenance, service, food, friendlies of each and every member of the staff ... There is a reason why most of the customers are returning guests. We really appreciated the quiet and polite atmosphere (no excessive day drinking, music by the main pool only during aqua gym at noon). I highly recommend this place to people who like to spend time in a beautiful, high quality environment with kind, well behaved people. And I specifically have to mention our wonderful housekeeping-artist, Mr Mahmoud ❤️ You made our vacation special.

“It was truly a pleasure to meet such wonderful people. Our stay at Steigenberger Alaya was absolutely amazing! From the warm and heartfelt welcome by the Reception team to the exceptional professionalism of the entire staff, everything exceeded our expectations. The room was incredibly spacious and impeccably clean, and the overall service was simply fantastic. Thank you all for making our experience so special—we can’t wait to return soon!”

As suggested by many other reviews, this is a very impressive hotel in all aspects - spaceous and immaculate grounds meant though the hotel was 90% full at the time of our stay it never felt crowded. All staff are most welcoming and attentive. Rooms are very well appointed. We upgraded direct with the hotel to a ground floor swim up room. Well worth the cost giving us a 40 metre length heated pool to swim in each day. The balconies outside these rooms give shelter from the coastal wind when it blows strongly too. Food in the main buffet restaurant has a very wide choice for breakfast and impressive, varying nature at lunch and dinner. There are smaller restaurants in the grounds for lunch if preferred. These are equally good. (Free ice creams mid afternoon brought to you round the pool - a nice touch). We used the alternative, smaller restaurants at lunchtime during our stay and also booked them via an hotel online app to eat at in the evening. Guests are allowed to eat in the a la carte restaurants on four occasions in a stay. One visit to each of four restaurants. A Seafood restaurant can be booked in person at Reception. One of the four restaurants, bookable online, is in the adjacent Coraya Beach Hotel. It, too, was very good. Like some, other reviewers suggest, they are challenging to book tables in on the online, hotel app. Staying for a fortnight we managed to book online the four restaurants in the second week. If staying for only one week I think it would be very difficult to book tables in these restaurants when the hotel is full. ( I mention the online booking app is slow). My personal order of preference was: 1. Rocca - Asian 2. Fayrouz in Coyaba Beach Hotel 3. Zaytoun - Lebanese 4. Basilico - Italian 5. Mashawi - Seafood Many guests are returning visitors and I can fully understand why...

It has everything you could ask for, plenty of sun, a beautiful pool, a jacuzzi, a spa, a gym, and even snorkeling. The food is delicious, and there are numerous nighttime shows and water sports to enjoy. A perfect place for a fun and relaxing getaway!
