Disaster

This hotel was a complete disaster from start to finish. Not only were the rooms filthy, but they also scammed us by overcharging for laundry services. The pathways around the hotel were uneven and dangerous, and the stairs were incredibly slippery. We even witnessed a staff member slip and injure himself! This place is a safety hazard and a complete rip-off. Save your money and stay far away from this hotel.

Average Aurora Bay

Stayed for one night, Hotel was found tired looking with the grounds in need of repair, food was satisfactory, although you have to be quick the buffet/restaurant fills up fast so selection can be limited. Room was big and spacious, and found clean. Don't forget your towel card when checking out, this is a big issue for the Reception, they are very rude and could do with a little etiquette.

Poor resort. Great location for snorkelling.

This hotel is in a perfect location for amazing and sheltered snorkelling on the bay but it is hard to overlook it's many flaws which could so easily fixed for it to become a hotel worthy of the 4* rating. My comments are the same as all the other detractors have noted for years about this hotel but the management don't seem to want to listen or improve - i.e. it is dated, needs refurbishment, the food and drink standards are terrible. The room I had was clean and well serviced but the shower area was not that clean at all. The food is repetitive and very tasteless and the majority of drinks are served warmish and all are in very small and cheap plastic cups. Cold beer and soft drinks should be a given really.......The beach is a short walk which is not an issue but the sun loungers and umbrellas all need some maintenance. If you are prepared to put up with a sub standard resort for the access to great snorkelling then this is for you.

État général très décevant : NOURRITURE : pas beaucoup de choix, pas très bon que ce soit déjeuner, dîner ou repas du soir, la viande sèche, manque de choix au niveau des desserts et des plats principaux. Nous avons mangé du riz et des pâtes tout le séjour. PLUS DE PLACE POUR MANGER, OBLIGÉ D’ATTENDRE DEBOUT. ARNAQUE WIFI : sur le site Hotels.com, nous avons réservé et il était écrit sur la réservation wi-fi gratuite. La wi-fi était payante.7€ pour 3Go. Et seulement dans le hall principal pas de wi-fi, ni dans la chambre ni à la plage ni au restaurant. Très décevant attention c’est une arnaque. La wi-fi n’est pas gratuite malgré les dires du site Hotels.com. PLAGE : État général de la plage, très décevant, les transats sont cassés, les toilettes sont sales. CHAMBRE : la chambre est correcte, le ménage, il fait, mais tout est en très mauvais état. La clim très très sale est cassée. Rideau de douche non changé… SERVICE DE CHAMBRE : le service est correct, il vous apporte tout ce que vous avez besoin pour la minute qui suit. TAXI DE L’HÔTEL : le Taxi de l’hôtel propose des prix exorbitants : 160 € Marsa Alam, Luxor. En bus ou taxi pris 13€ -100€ maximum. Ne vous faites pas avoir.
