Blend Elphistone Resort Marsa Alam

“A relaxing and enjoyable stay with wonderful staff and a lovely atmosphere.”

The resort was spotless and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay, creating a relaxing atmosphere that we truly enjoyed. The food was good overall, but a bit more variety would be nice, and it would be great to have more evening activities or entertainment since there were limited things to do at night.

“Overall, the hotel has a wonderful location and exceptional staff, but it really needs to improve th”

The location is amazing—the beach and the pool are beautiful, and the staff made the experience even better. A special thank you to the restaurant team for their excellent service and delicious food, especially Chef Talaat, and to Mr. Alaa at reception for being very welcoming and professional. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and professional, making our stay special. Highly recommended! However, the rooms definitely need renovation; the furniture is quite old and the air conditioning wasn’t working well, which affected our comfort. Another major issue is the Wi‑Fi—it was so poor that it felt like there was practically no Wi‑Fi in the hotel.

Everything was very good, except for the restaurant staff member—a short, dark‑complexioned man in his mid‑50s—whose behavior was completely unprofessional, discriminatory toward Egyptians, and inappropriate with foreign guests.

“buon compromesso, ma datato e non pulitissimo”

It’s a good compromise between price and quality: the resort is a bit dated but not too large, located on a nice beach with easy access for everyone, making it suitable for seniors and children. The sea in front is pretty nice and sandy; I recommend wearing sandals for the pebbles. There are no fish in front, so to see them you have to walk the long pier (about 600 m long, 2 entrances) to reach the reef where you can dive into the open sea and snorkel, best early in the morning from 7 to 10 or after 16 otherwise the sea gets too rough and I think it’s quite dangerous because there are no buoys or ropes to tie yourself, but the reef is nice! The room was fairly clean and renovated, and the animation is present, although they only play 4 or 5 songs. External cleaning is average…mosquitoes everywhere, the pool is clean, but never used. Food is plentiful and of good quality, a varied buffet with a wide choice every day, a pasta corner, salads, and everything you want; the waiters are polite and always present, the staff are friendly and hungry for tips. The beach mattresses are broken and dirty, mosquitoes are extremely annoying on the beach and even at the restaurant—more cleaning is needed! The resort is dated, has potential, but some common areas are old; a broken step fell, luckily only a small bruise, but who knows how long that step has been broken! The floor in front of the external entrance of the restaurant (the one in front of the wooden pier) was dirty and stayed that way for a week… and it still is for me.

“تجربه لن تتكرر”

The food was the absolute best in terms of taste and variety, especially the general chef Mohammed Abbas and grill chef Mohammed Obaid. The rooms were clean and comfortable; my stay at the main building, F Bar Omar Al-Sharif, was lovely, and waiter Maki was friendly, kind, and very tasteful. The bar on the pool was also welcoming. On the downside, the reception was lacking in taste, even though they charged a high fee. We were delayed a lot during check‑in, despite me having sent an email three days before arrival with my arrival time. Mr. Walid replied warmly and promised rooms, but that didn’t happen. The animation was very racist, and because there was an Italian squad, all their conversation was in Italian without translation for the Egyptians. When we asked why activities weren’t offered on the pool, they said the Italians liked the beach and that we supposedly hated the marina, which had no live music or even floats, and below the stairs were rocks lacking safety. Overall, the place felt very gloomy, with no music in the restaurant or on the pool, a terrible silence, and they told us the sound house was broken until the third day of our stay. I will never repeat this experience.
