“food was terrible”

Marmara Sabena Resort

1/2 found this review helpful

we have just returned from the marmara sabena and i must say it was a very boring week. the food was served almost cold and there wasnt much of a selection. there wasnt any food for vegetarians only salad which had been washed in their water giving people the runs. they say they have 3 restaurants but there was only 1 and we had to guess what the food was as it wasnt labelled. there were meant to have cocktails but ther were no cocktail lists anywhere. the entertainment was non existant apart from a teeny boppers disco at night,great if you like that sort of thing. ther was a nice view across from the restaurant of a building site and all day long there were taxis papping their horns asking if we want taxi,the best thing i saw was human traffic lights(a bloke waving a red wand). taxi drivers will try &rip you off. we went to naama town and 1 driver wanted 100 egyptian pounds, dont pay more than 30 egyptian pounds. on the other hand the security were very pleasant and helpful they would get us a taxi and negotiate a price and they would take the taxi number just in case we had any problems.1 week was enough for us because after 2 weeks i think we would of gone insane i wont be staying there again.

“Never a 4 star”

Marmara Sabena Resort

1/2 found this review helpful

Stayed at the Marmara last month and was very dissapointed with the lack of entertainment both during the day and especially at night,the food could only be described as basic and the beer very cheap tasting,costing nearly £2,000 for a family of 3 you would expect better.
On the plus side the staff were very polite and always had a smile on their face.Sorry but not a hotel i would visit again in a hurry

“fantastic stay”

Marmara Sabena Resort

May 27, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

After reading some of the other reviews I have to admit Iwas worried about what I would find when we arrived, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were so helpful they couldn't do enough, the rooms were spotless and were cleaned every day.
The hotel itself was clean. All inclusive was all inclusive until midnight. Food was ok a bit repetative, breakfast was best as they cooked eggs just how you wanted them. Ther was entertainment a couple of nights a week.
The shuttle bus to the beach ran regularly and the beach was the best part of the holiday. The coral beach was fantastic so many fish and the coral is spectacular.
We went in to naama bay a couple of times on the shuttle bus, very busy.
All in all we had a great holiday we did quad biking and a trip to cairo and a boat trip out to the reefs.
I would definately recommend the Marmara Resort and I would definately go back.

“Amazing people!!! thats what made our holiday”

Marmara Sabena Resort

2/2 found this review helpful

we read other reviews that slightly put us off this hotel but we loved it!! the people we met there (staff) were amazing! they were all so good with the children as they all adore kids, and made us all feel very welcome

the hotel was clean and our room was cleaned daily, food was good but became somewhat boring but never caused us any problems! the staff would always entertain the kids if they finished eating before us so we could eat ours in peace

the music round the pool was ok but not great, evening entertainment was average they try to put on enterainment at least 2 times a week, but we mainly spent our evenings by fantasia as it was really lively, very friendly and only round the corner

we truley did have an amazing time at our stay in marmara and thanks to this hotel we will be traveling back in 1 month
