Guest Reviews: on Trip Advisor and Holiday Watchdog -

On the Beach - guests praise sandy beach

"My family and i have just come back from two fantastic weeks in brayka bay. The hotel was excellent and fullfiled all our expectations. We loved the location of the hotel as some of the hotels in marsa alam have jetties that you have to walk along to get into the sea. In Brayka bay you can just walk into the sea as it is situated in a lovely sheltered bay."
( TripAdvisor 17 August 2008 )

"Private sandy beach with access to the coral reefs very safe for children as the sea is shallow, clean beach towels every day."
( HolidayWatchdog May 2008 )

On the Sea - equally upbeat

"I saw so many things in the bay like stingrays, turtles, clown fish, crocodile fish, i could go on and on, everyday i saw something different. It was like swimming in a giant fish tank. "
( TripAdvisor 17 August 2008 )

On the Pool - one complaint about lack of sun beds during peak periods.

"The only down-side I can think of is that if you want a bed by the pool you have to be putting your towel out by 6.30am!! "
( TripAdvisor 12 August 2008 )

On the Staff - also positive

"The Staff were fantastic, so helpful, friendly and always smiling and greeting you with a hello, opening doors for you, getting you drinks etc and no hint of them wanting a tip. Bar Staff, Reception Staff, Room Boy, Gardeners, Chief's, Waiters, Cleaners all work very hard, they all helped make this a lovely hoilday."
( TripAdvisor 7 July 2008 )

"All hotel staff are friendly and helpful, especially Ali at the pool bar, he could run the bar with his eyes closed!"
( TripAdvisor 12 August 2008 )
 
"Many resorts in Europe could learn a thing or two about hospitality, and how to make your guests feel welcome by spending a little time here. "
( TripAdvisor 23 January 2008 )

On the food - generally favourable

"Some nights are themed e.g. Chinese food and Egyptian but on remaining nights there is always a good choice and you do not have to eat the same thing every night! The pasta stations are very good and if you enjoy cakes and pastries be prepared to put a few pounds on because they are excellent!"
( TripAdvisor 9 August 2008 )

"We went all inclusive and had a wonderful choice of food. The staff were smiling,helpful and attentive. Food was always kept well covered and dirty plates etc were never allowed to remain on a table for more than a few seconds."
( TripAdvisor 6 March 2008 )

But one customer not happy with overcrowding at peak times -

"The restaurant very over crowded and noisey at peak times a job to get a table many people walked round with their meals trying to find seats, very poor lay out of food area and long queues at times."
( HolidayWatchdog May 2008 )

On the rooms - mixed reviews.

"The rooms are very spacious if there are just a couple of you. You probably will find that the beds are hard and rooms are generally in need of refurbing but is not likely to ruin a holiday if you are already aware of this."
( TripAdvisor 6 August 2008 )

"The rooms are okay but could do with tea and coffee making facilities and they definately need to invest in some decent mattresses. But they are very clean and Wael who cleaned our room was lovely and very helpful. "
( TripAdvisor 9 May 2008 )

"(The room) did not have a safety depost box but these were available behind reception. The shower was very good and there was always plenty of hot water. Only concern was the shower rail was at a very dodgy angle and looked like it might fall off !.......... Plenty of storage space, and the extra pillow we requested from reception was duly delivered to the room."
( TripAdvisor 22 January 2008 )


On the desert safaris - guests seemed to love camel and horse excursions into the Sahara

"My daughter and i have horses at home so rode two beautiful Arabian horses in the desert to meet a Bedouwin family and drank tea with them. My husband and son followed behind on Camels.  We watched the sun setting before riding home...Heaven."
( TripAdvisor 23 June 2008 )

On the health club - guests seemed very satisfied here too.

"The health Spa was brilliant and I never indulge at home so this was a good opportunity to spoil myself. "
( HolidayWatchdog June 2008 )
