Lodge charmant mais vieillissant

Lodge charmant, mais vieillissant, a 2 pas de la plage privée, très bien entretenue et très bien équipée, où vous pourrez voir énormément de poissons et de tortues même avec un masque tuba. personnel adorable, Jardin très bien entretenu, mais les bungalows doivent être rénovés: urgent de changer les lits, le linge et de rénover les salles de bain. Sinon c’est un endroit idyllique, calme, loin des énormes complexes de la mer rouge

Bella posizione, peccato per la pulizia.

Lodge carino, sulla spiaggia più bella di tutta Marsa Alam per fare snorkeling. Nello staff tutti molto gentili. Peccato per il cibo, uguale ogni giorno per tutti e 15 i giorni in cui abbiamo soggiornato, per gli alloggi molto vecchi, e per la pulizia molto scadente (abbiamo persino trovato insetti spiaccicati sulle lenzuola). Comunque rimane il posto più economico e di miglior posizione in cui alloggiare per fare ottimo snorkeling.

Deux semaines c'est trop.

La plage est super et plus propre que le restaurant. Nourriture peu variée mais pour le prix ont peut l'accepter. Ils ne savent pas qu' il faut nettoyer les portes, les poignées, les tables et les set de table.

المكان اكثر من رائع

المكان اكثر من رائع يبعد عن الشاطئ حوالي ٥ دقائق علي الاقدام. به كل الامكانيات من عدد للغطس والسنوركلينج باسعار مقبوله وخاصة لنزلاء اللودج. المكان مناسب جدا للاستجمام وخاصة ليلا.

I can't wait to go back!

The lodge exceeded my expectations! The gardens have grown a lot since the pictures were taken and are colorful and beautiful. The room was very clean and comfortable and bigger than I thought it would be. There was a small refrigerator with bottled water that was replenished daily, a couch, and a large closet in the room. The A/C worked great, we even got cold during the night. The quality of the food here was better than the two other places I've stayed at in Marsa and the choices were different at every meal which was nice. The waiters were attentive, but I wish the drinking glasses were a little bigger. The beach was the best!! It had plenty of sunbeds or large beanbag chairs and shade. The setup was nice because you're not too close to your neighbor and it's very private. My daughter rode a camel on the beach and it was a reasonable price. The snorkeling was fantastic and so colorful! We saw so much variety here...spotted eagle rays, turtles, and so many different fish and coral. I'm glad I took a chance and stayed here, it was awesome!

E' migliorabile, ma comunque lo consiglierei

Ho alloggiato 7 notti dopo aver letto varie recensioni che parlavano bene della baia nella quale è situato. Infatti è possibile vedere uno sterminio di pesci già entrando in acqua poco+delle ginocchia e l'accesso non è dal pontile come per la maggior parte delle strutture di Marsa Allam, bensì dalla spiaggia! E' possibile noleggiare gratis maschera e pinne, o pagare poche euro per la muta corta o lunga. Incluso nel soggiorno abbiamo avuto un telo mare e nel nostro lodge era presente dell'acqua in bottiglia fornita gratuitamente e giornalmente. Veniamo alla struttura: in altri tempi dev'esser stata davvero bella, ma ora necessiterebbe di maggior manutenzione (ad es la porta del bagno era sfasciata!). Ho chiesto mi venisse sostituito uno dei due materassi singoli (che ho trovato comodo per la mia schiena) in quanto era impregnato di odor di sigaretta, ma si sono limitati a sostituire le lenzuola. Il giardino è bello ma è irrigato quotidianamente con reflui puzzolenti e soffocato di antiparassitari: non si vede una formica! La pulizia è soddisfacente anche se basterebbe poco per far un gran salto di qualità: ad es i tavoli del ristorante li hanno sempre puliti con uno spruzzino ma senza preoccuparsi di togliere le posate non utilizzate, tant'è che le annaffiavano generosamente di detergente, e forse tanto buono/salutare non era! Il cibo di contro mi è piaciuto e nonostante sia vegetariana, non ho mai digiunato, anzi! Il personale vive in baraccopoli fatiscenti attorno al lodge..

Потрясающий отель

отель находится в непосредственной близости от пляжа Абу Даббаб Очень разнообразное питаение, ежедневная уборка в номерах. Так же пользовался прачечной. Персонал великолепный: и помогают с чемоданом, и находят самый дешевый трансфер..помогу разменять деньги, организуют доставку местной симкарты... Великолепный отель!

Sehr familiär und gemütlich. Die Lodge ist eine kleine Oase mit wunderschönem Garten. Die Leute sind sehr freundlich. Es happert da und dort an Aufmerksamkeit, mal fehlte ein Handtuch oder die kostenlose Wasserflasche. Leider sind die Englisch Kenntnisse teilweise sehr beschränkt aber am Ende gelangt man ans Ziel. Insgesamt isr es einfach aber mit sehr gutem Essen und sauber. Der Strand mit tollem Tauch/Schnorchelzentrum ist nicht sehr weit zum laufen und toll. Die Bucht ist wunderschön. Ich gehe wieder.

Vero Relax e tranquillità

Il lodge è veramente molto bello, con area verde curata e anche una piccola piscina: Il servizio ristorante curato e alquanto vario. La cucina è egiziana ma a noi e anche ai nostri bambini è piaciuta. Lo consiglio a chi vuole rilassarsi e non avere il chiasso di animazione e tanta gente! Un posto speciale dove torneremo! La sera nadavamo alla tenda beduina sulla spiaggia!! Bellissimo! Un grazie a tutto lo staff!! Fulvia, Vlaudio, Manuele e la piccola Nora!

Not Impressed

I chose this hotel because I thought it was the only one in Abu Dabab bay. We went to Egypt to dive and according to my research Abu Dabab bay was one of the nicest shore dives in Southern Egypt and had the best chance of diving with turtles and a dugong. I can confirm that the diving and snorkelling are lovely - the reef is colourful and teeming with fish - and it starts only a few metres from the shore. The seagrass area in the middle of the bay has a large population of green turtles. However, the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired. The beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. The pillows were like rocks. The food served was extremely bland and towards the end of our one week stay made us both ill. The drink selection was limited to sprite, coke, fanta and beer and the man on the check-in desk was extremely unhelpful. If you want to dive in Abu Dabab then I would suggest you look at the Sol Y Mar Abu Dabab hotel which is right next door. It would have to be better than this place.

Diving Lodge Abu Dabab

Hotel, discreto, senza nulla di particolare, anche se la tipologia delle camere, essendo a livello del terreno, porta all'ingresso di animaletti, poco graditi(scarafaggi,piccole piattole,ragnetti, ecc,ecc, il personale per la pulizia dovrebbe lavorare con più impegno per disinfestare tale situazione.Il direttore, si è subito dato da fare, recependo la situazione. Essendi il periodo da me scelto, di bassissima stagione, credo che di più non si possa pretendere. Ottima la disponibilità da parte della reception, a risolvere piccoli inconvenienti.Il mangiare, all'inizio era molto ripetitivo, ma dopo l'intervento della direzione, è notevolmente migliorato. In rapporto a quello che ho pagato, ritengo l'hotel valido, essendo vicino a una delle più belle Baie di Marsa Alam.
