Overall rate is 9.5

Everything was fantastic tbh, i recommend that hotel for my friends.. i and my brothers had enjoyed by our condition there .. starting from the reception guy was friendly with us to the housekeeper was so clean and the food is very testy and the chifs are experts .. the only report is gonna be for the animation team and with specific one ( Samy ) was very uncooperative with us he was playing only no egptyian songs and when he sees us dancing with the egyptian song he fastly change the song but the other guys were cooperation .. another report for the bar guy ( Hesham he is fat a little and short) he is so semp i suggest reject him .. but overall rate is 9.5 / 10 i enjoyed and that wasn't my first accommodation there and will not being the last ♥️

Disaster

This hotel was a complete disaster from start to finish. Not only were the rooms filthy, but they also scammed us by overcharging for laundry services. The pathways around the hotel were uneven and dangerous, and the stairs were incredibly slippery. We even witnessed a staff member slip and injure himself! This place is a safety hazard and a complete rip-off. Save your money and stay far away from this hotel.

Struttura datata ma curata. Il mangiare c’è da accontentarsi , anche se quello che c’è è cucinato abbastanza bene . Animazione coinvolgente e mare stupendo . Con sabbia e barriera corallina

The hotel is well organised & all staff are so kind, helpful & smiley, the 3 times buffet include many varieties with very good taste, thanks for chefs, really enjoyed the swimming pool with par includes many varieties of beverages & snakes, the gym hall is good & well facilitated, animation team doing a good job but they need to be more supported with other art team especially during evening like the belly dancer whom introducing the show only once weekly. but in general with my family we enjoyed our stay very much.

I was given an out of service room that had nothing in it, not even a tv in living room. No housekeeping service at all. I was promised a bathrobe and never got one!

8/10 Very good

La posizione della struttura è ottima.. Soprattutto per quanto riguarda la spiaggia che essendo in una baia è molto riparata dal vento e ci si sta veramente bene e ci si può sempre bagnare perché il rife è a distanza... Il personale del servizio taxi che si trova all interno dell hotel è a dir poco spettacolare... Disponibile.. Cordiale.. Parla italiano e aiuta per ogni tipo di problema... L unica grande pecca dell hotel per noi italiani è il mangiare... Bisogna accontentarsi di riso e pane.... Un grande peccato perché altrimenti sarebbe tutto al top..

Pulizia, cibo internazionale ma buono (la pasta era cotta abbastanza bene), personale educato e disponibile, animazione presente con adulti e soprattutto con i bambini. La baia, punto di forza del resort con coralli e pesci a portata di mano. Nel complesso consiglio vivamente di andare all'aurora Bay resort.

La cosa migliore è sicuramente il personale, molto gentile, disponibile e simpatico, sia del resor sia delle associazoni che ci lavorano all'interno ( Easyway taxi e Duck Superior). Le cose che, a mio avviso, hanno bisogno di più cura sono l'animazione e la varietà del cibo.

Mancanza di interesse per i turisti , almeno nel nostro caso. Organizzazione quasi inesistente, non ti vengono incontro.... Almeno per le camera dove eravamo alloggiati trascurata e sporca ecc ecc.

في البداية أحب أشكر كل العاملين في اورورا أو اورينتال باي على حسن الاستقبال والتعامل والبشاشة والاحترام اجراءات الاستقبال كانت سريعه وبمجرد الوصول وقبل ميعاد الاستلام التقليدي مع مشروب الترحيب الغرف جيده جدا وهي عبارة عن شقة من غرفة مغلقة بحمام وريسيبش كبير بمطبخ مفتوح ( غير مجهز بمعدات المطبخ ) و تراس المنتجع صف ثان من البحر وله شاطيء خاص في الجهة المقابلة على البحر للأسف على عكس تماما ما سمعت و قرأت من الريڤيوز على جمال الشاطيء وجمال الشعب والأسماك حقيقي ان مساحة الشعب كبيرة وهي بطول الخليج من الناحيتين ولكن للاسف باهته وليست فيها الوان زاهية والأسماك قليلة جدا وصغيرة وليست متنوعه وهذه كانت الصدمه الكبرى بالنسبة لي كمحب لمشاهده الشعب والأسماك فلا أنصح به نهائيا لمحبي الاسنوركلينج والتصوير المائي والاستمتاع بالشعب الملونة والأسماك الملونة المتنوعه وهي مشكلة عامة في مرسى علم اتصدمت بها بعد زيارتي لمعظم مناطق الغطس والاسنوركلينج المشهورة في مرسى علم ( الغردقة وشرم الشيخ لا يفوقهما منطقة في جمال الشعب والوانها الزاهية واسماكها المتنوعه والملونه ) المشكلة الثانية هي أن مياه الحمامات ليست مياه مكررة تكريرا جيدا فهي مالحه ولونها مصفر بعض الشيء وهي هي نفس المياه المستخدمه في مياه حمامات السباحة !!! والتي عرفت بعد ذلك أنها مشكلة عامة في مرسى علم على حد قولهم !! البسينات حوالي عدد ٦ بسين منهم واحد صغير دافيء لايوجد كاتل وشاي وقهوة في الغرفة السناكس متواضع الوجبات في المطعم الرئيسي غير متنوعة ولكن كافية و جيدة الطعم

Average Aurora Bay

Stayed for one night, Hotel was found tired looking with the grounds in need of repair, food was satisfactory, although you have to be quick the buffet/restaurant fills up fast so selection can be limited. Room was big and spacious, and found clean. Don't forget your towel card when checking out, this is a big issue for the Reception, they are very rude and could do with a little etiquette.
