Key facts

Location and getting there

Distances to Marsa Alam airport run from 35 to 75 km; one listing says 56.2 km and 48 minutes by car, which we take as an order of magnitude. The gaps probably come from different measuring points. Have the hotel confirm the transfer time. The listings that mention Coraya describe a different hotel, the Steigenberger Coraya Beach.

To compare areas see where to stay in Marsa Alam, to choose between the two towns Hurghada or Marsa Alam, and for the road Hurghada to Marsa Alam.

Rooms, beach and pools

The room types named are twin, double, suite and quadruple, which suits families of four. The beach is described as private, with a coral reef beside it. A Novotel is generally priced mid-range to upper mid-range, but we quote no rate, since it changes with the season. The listings do not detail the pools.

Booking tips

  • Book through the hotel's Booking page ("Novotel Marsa Alam, Marsa Alam") and compare the price for your dates; we quote no price that would go stale.
