Shams Alam Beach Resort

Beautiful. But the vendors are so annoying as the flies on the beach. We wanted to have some quiet time on the beach, but it was almost impossible with the people trying to sell services, tours or products. We stayed a week, and only after we said that we had NO cash to one of the vendors, they stopped coming to us.

Don't buy sim card in the hotel, they are scamming people, yeah i know that i needed buy sim card in airport, but there was reason i dont do that..first it is very expencive here, 40 eur for 20 gb. On next day i got a message that i am reach out of limit (after 2gb usage). When i come to seller, there was another guy, he sayd that maybe guy who selled me sim card dont understand me, becouse this guy is bad in english (yea, sure, 40eur for 2gb good deal.) Ok, he fixed my issue, but in the end of my vocation after 10 gb usage (i have data monitor) i got again message that i am reach out limit :). Seller start works at 10AM, my transfer to airport was 9:30Am, so no chance to explain about another "mistake". I telled about this scamm in reception, but there is no one interested in this. Everything rest in hotel is good, service, food, coral reef.

The best beach in Marsa Alam, beautiful coral reefs, the food is very good, the Christmas party was beautiful, and the animation was very excellent and really funny. It was a very enjoyable vacation with the animation team.Kimo was crazy with us and very funny. It was a wonderful vacation for us in this hotel. We will come back again.

For the second time we stay on Shams Alam, first time was in 2018. The place is always perfect for what I love more in a village: friendly staff, great food, amazing reef for snorkelling, not too much people. What can be improve are: the beach bed are old and heavy, but beach boys are always kind and helps more than expectation. The linen are quite old and deserved to be replaced, but still clean. The Room need a refresh, some part are damaged by sun/humidity, but staff do a great job cleaning it. As italian I want kindly ask to management to rescheduling the Expresso Coffee availability immediately at morning. This will be a added value. Cappuccino was missed at breakfast :) And please considering to shifting the clock forward 1-2 hours to have more light.

We love this hotel because well managed, quiet (peaceful), traditional architecture, very good food, kind personal. We came more than 10 times (once a year!) Note that there is a very good diving center very close which is not too expensive with possibility to reach by boat many fantastic dive sites in the middle of the very well protected park There is also a windsurf club : good equipment... We were lucky because enough wind to have fun this year (OCTOBER) We plan to come back in MAY 2023...

perfect holiday whit the familie we where diving at the beautiful house reef white Mido as a dive guide. the hotel was clean and comfortable. Every body was very kind and correct. The food was delicious
