Bay La Sun Hotel & Marina

Clean and beautiful property close to Red Sea. Good staff and nice rooms for a good price

This was a lovely one-night stay and a lovely hotel. Clean and comfortable, with EXTREMELY nice staff and beautiful views of the Red Sea. There were only minor negatives, which means I wouldn't stay for more than a day or two, but it is fine for a short-term stay. First, it's located in a very beautiful area with absolutely nothing to do. This isn't the hotel's fault, the area never developed as planned. But the hotel itself has no amenities - they have a men's gym, but nothing for women. Since you're in the middle of nowhere, it would be nice to have a spa or lounge or something. If you do want to go to the small grocery store or limited nearby restaurants, the only transportation is an expensive hotel taxi, which can cost you about $100 for a mile or two. They also didn't have a coffee machine, which made it seem like a small motel rather than a 5-star hotel (they said the only way to get a coffee machine was to upgrade to an executive suite - weird in a modern expensive hotel). Finally, the bathroom had no fan or ventilation, so it stayed foggy and wet from our showers for the entire time we were there - if we opened the door it made the rest of the room foggy. This is fine for two days, but more than that and it would have been annoying. Other than these things, loved the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, much better than hotel food. Even though we stayed in Ramadan, the room service was fully available and great. Would stay again for a short term visit.

The Hotel was excellent, the room were spacious, and the staff were helpful and friendly.
