Marvelous stay and luxurious accommodation

Design, services, food quality and variety, perfect wifi, very helpful and friendly staff

Negative: The beach was distant and not that much good for snorkeling and the location is very far from the main activities that are requested for marsa Alam as sharm elloly was 90 Mins by car

Beautiful, friendly, modern, clean with breathtaking sea views.

What I love about the area is that there is a long walkway (2km) running through all the hotels on the bay, so you can take long walks in the evenings or a jog in the morning. There are several options where you can get into the sea (jetty or via the beach in the bay), depending on the wind situation. Having a heated pool was also very useful in February!

Negative: It’s a bit of a walk to the beach.

Overall, we had a lovely time. Thank you to everyone at Jaz Elite Maraya! 🙏🌴

We had a great time at Jaz Elite Maraya (our second stay).

Here’s what we loved:
• The food was truly delicious — varied, fresh, and full of flavor.
• Service throughout the hotel was excellent, staff were kind, helpful, and always smiling.
• Big shoutout to the animation team, especially Zizu, who brought amazing energy and fun to the days and evenings!
• The hotel is smaller, which we actually loved — it felt cozy and personal, yet everything was well organized and smooth.
• The coastal promenade is fantastic for running or evening walks, and the connection to the other five neighboring hotels through gardens adds to the charm.
• The aqua park in the hotel next door is a huge bonus — lots of fun for kids and adults alike.
• We stayed in a room with a private pool, which was beautiful with stunning view to the sea, but since it wasn’t heated, it was really cold and not really worth the money.

And a special thank you to Mohamed (hope I spelled it right) — the cleaner from room 1059 — your care and attention to detail made a big difference. Thank you so much!

Negative: What could be improved:
• Heated main pool and private pools would make a big difference — last year the pool was heated in April and it really enhanced the experience.
• The wine could use an upgrade — it’s not quite on par with the rest of the food and service.

Really good stay. We would come back. Great for families

The staff was really attentive and super friendly. Food was very good. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. The reef was ok. Aquapark was nice. The fact you could use facilities of all Jaz hotels was a big plus.

Negative: Wi-fi needs to be much better and stable. The hotel is front at the cliff , so it is very windy. For end of May it was ok, but we Had 1-2 days when we used pools in other hotels due to strong wind. It could be an issue in winter months.

Book a la carte restaurants before your arrival

Negative: For a la carte restaurants - usually two times included during one week - one must reserve well ahead of arrival!
Otherwise, you might experience as we did that the first available slot was on day 5 only.

Each hotel has their own buffet main restaurant, with no reservation needed. All the 7 Jaz resorts within this compound share the 4-5 separate a la carte restaurants included in the all-inclusive package. There are 2-3 more restaurants paid extra.

Our favorite was the Seahorse with see view.

Food in the buffet Jaz Maraya restaurant is excellent, though - with Egyptian dishes and deserts even better than in the a la carte restaurant!

Great 5 day getaway for the family

Very nice hotel, rooms were comfortable and clean, our room always had a nice detail to welcome us after the day at the beach or the pool. Restaurant Buffett was well stocked and food was good and fresh. The aqua park was amazing for our 9 and 11 year old children. They didn't want to go anywhere else and kept sliding, there is also a food court where you get pizzas, burgers, salads and creppes (really good crepes!). Animation teams were good, specially the fire show, great performance. Check in and out was really smooth. BONUS: I like photography, I was carrying my 200-600 telephoto and I was able to capture shots of am Osprey and a group of terns phishing :)

Negative: We did had issues booking the a a carte restaurants, it is done with through an app and despite doing it as soon as we arrive we had zero availability for them, later by passing next to them we saw them half empty.
