Having a windsurfing husband and having visited Egypt a number of times at Dahab & Soma Bay & Sharm, John & I decided we wanted to try a different resort this spring and so, on recommendation, we booked the Shams Alam at Marsa Alam with Sportif. Despite it being a 1hr 30 mins transfer, it was well worth it. The... More

I came back to Shams Alam after some years and many other hotels on the Red Sea. Shams still earns special consideration for quality of the reef and the unspoiled beaches surrounding the bay, that allow easy access to the reef.Also the remoteness of the hotel is for me a very important thing. The Wadi Gimal Island in front, and... More

.We came to this hotel because of its location near the National Park , in which we could walk freely and watch the ever changing migratory birds. House reef was excellent for snorkelling and easily reached from the beach or jetty. The dive centre was very helpful and allowed us to go on dive trips suitable for snorkellers. They even... More

The hotel is located a good hour’s drive to the south of Marsa Alam airport (itself to the north of the Marsa Alam town). The hotel is a self-contained resort hotel which focuses on diving and windsurfing as the activities. When we stayed there were a few guests who were there for the sun & sand only as well; I... More

I stayed at the Shams Alam hotel for 1 week at the beginning of March 2012. Having stayed in a few Egyptian hotels which had more stars than redeeming features, this was a very pleasant surprise. The hotel is right on the main coast road about 1 hr 30 minutes south of Marsa Alam airport. The entrance hall/reception area is... More

We booked only 2 weeks before we went so our options were limited as there were so few flights available (it was Christmas too). The whole focus of our holiday was the diving and in that respect we were not disappointed. Beautiful reefs, good dive staff (with a special mention to Nem Nem), and the hire equipment was all of...

Beautiful hotel architecture with 160 rooms and a wonderful garden. Located about 60 km south of Marsa Alam, directly at the shore with a lovely sandy beach and magnificent coral reefs. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. All rooms have either balcony or terrace, mosquito nets, television, etc. We did not miss anything. The bathrooms are large enough, a... More

We went as part of a group of 19 of which 18 were divers and my wife who was not. It is in the middle of nowhere so we were not expecting it to match up to what we had previously experienced at the Marriott in Hurghada. The hotel seems to primarily be used by Spanish, Italians and Germans so... More
