We have just returned from a week's holiday over Christmas 2010. Stunning bay, superb for snorkelling, and the views are magnificent. The hotel is clean but looking a bit tired and shabby. The beds are also very hard and uncomfortable. The staff are absolutely fabulous.... more

The resort was really great as was the weather. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Unfortunately we found the food was disgraceful. It was nearly all geared around eastern holidaymakers i.e. russion, polish etc: who were very rude & arrogant. The accomadation was poor,... more

I (59); was a little pensive I must admit to take a holiday in Egypt with my daughter (31)thinking that two women on their own may be a bit of a target, but it was a great week with good food, good apartment (fresh bottles of water in fridge every day, and the sheets were... more

I have been reading these bad reviews everyone has been writing about. PLEASE IGNORE THEM. I had a fantastic holiday. The English complain to much. I must admit the aeroplane wasn't nice, but this has nothing to do with the hotel. The hotel is beauiful. The service we... more

We only lasted 4 days before we insisted on changing resorts! On arrival blanket on bed covered in [--], mattresses so worn had solid dip in them. Wardrobe doors off runners, practically broke your back to open or close them. Light fittings and socket in bathroom coming... more

We have just returned from Brayka Bay Hotel and had a very relaxing week. The outside grounds and beach areas are excellent, dont know if it was anything to do with time of year but we had no problem finding a sunbed. The only down side to this holiday was the amount of... more

Do not go! This is advertised as a 5 star, but is not. Here is a bit from the complaint letter Thomson could not be bothered to respond to... …you crammed us on a flight with Astraeus. Almost six hours on a stinking wreck of a plane without any inflight entertainment... more

Well thank god i only booked for a week, the hotel itself was quite nice on arrival, directed to our rooms, we was right at the top and the stairs was the last thing we needed, but got there in the end. There was 9 of us altogether, 2 rooms were ok but the last room that... more

Recently returned form the Brayka Bay Hotel. The staff were friendly and no complaints about the resort. The beach lovely although not as nice as the Grand Resort Beach in Hurghada. Diving was good but more expensive than Sharm El Sheik or Hurghada. A few days into the... more

Dugong
After struggling to select somewhere to go for some winter sun am very pleased we ended up here. Although the lack of water in the pool was a bit of a disappointment (should be full again soon), the place was really well looked after, clean and very relaxing. Entertainment was very much what you made of it, although the hotel bar did have a bit of a wetherspoons feel about it! I recommend going to the 'Bedouin Tent' at the end of the beach after dinner in the evening and just chilling out with a sheesha pipe and some beers (not in the all... more
great
just returned from brayka bay, great holiday hotel is immaculate all gardens and grounds really well kept with loads of staff, weather was about 20ish which was ok. kids had own room adjoining ours. beach is fantastic with own house reef you only have to walk out waist high and look under to see some great fish and coral, sea is very shallow warm and safe for kids or weak swimmers. food was ok with lots to choose from just check your chicken is cooked properly. go on hammatta boat trip as this is very good, all the staff... more
paradise at the Brayka Bay Reef Resort
04/12/2006 We have just returned The Brayka Bay Reef Resort at Marsa Alam, Egypt. I have to report that this was one of the best value for money holidays that we have ever experienced! From the time we stepped off the plane to the time we left, we were treated like royalty! The med hotels rep. took us trhough customs in double quick time and we were greeted with a welcoming drink in reception. The suitcases arrived at the room 2minutes after we did. All tht staff from gardeners to management were polite, friendly and courteous. Food... more
Nice holiday, shame about the smell!!
I stayed at the Brayka Bay in November, having also stayed there a week earlier in the year. Accomodation is good, rooms large, clean and airy. Facilities are good, tennis, pool. volleyball. (couldnt find the table-tennis table though) Snorkelling is very good, with reefs both sides of the bay with a large varity of marine life. In fact, saw turtles on both visits. food was good and varied, with always an outside barbeque as an extra choice. On both occasions though, myself and companion suffered mild stomach upsets... more
An Overview
I returned yesterday from here and whilst the washing machine works it's magic i'll tell you all about it. It's my fourth time to Egypt though the first time for my other Half and i went with a reasonable knowledge of what to expect from here and other sources. I'd arranged the accomodation and transfers independently and we were duly met at the airport and taken straight there, no que and no fuss. Our room was a beach front, worth the extra few pennies as some of the rooms certainly don't have a great view. The... more
Good diving - Excelent House Reef
The resort was very good, and very clean. We mainly went for the diving, and chose the resort as Thompson were offering a cheap deal. We opted not to take Thompsons dive packages (which I think was with a dive company based at another resort), and instead go with Extra Divers, a German company that are located within the hotel. Extra divers were very good, although after Reef Tax, Guides and equipment hire they were quite expensive, but I think all companies are probably much the same. The guides are friendly and are good at... more
Okay - perhaps too generous? Not terrible though as no permanent damage done.
Shortly after arrival and on the face of it, this seemed like a good and well run hotel with ok facilities. The 5 star Egyptian rating would not compare to international standards however and the 4T Thomson rating seems very ambitious. The first impression of the hotel was clean, spacious, light and airy with good pools and beaches. The rooms although simple were also clean and of a good size, slightly dated, but ok. The staff on the whole were a credit to themselves and the hotel being helpful, polite and friendly. The advertised... more
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Would recommend Brayka to anyone - 2 of us went - 1 week came back 11th October - not too busy so plenty of room for peace and quiet if desired. - get to the north end so the wind blows the noise of the piped music away to the south. THE GOOD: Fantastic location, not too far from airport. Great house reef - off beach snorkelling a must - saw the usual suspects + blue spotted stingrays and crocodile fish within the first 100m out - starts off shallow and gets deeeper both north and south sides but still so so clear! - just follow... more
Fantastic!!
Just returned from a weeks all inclusive holiday at the Brayka Bay Hotel with my sister in law to be, this hotel was fantastic!! Hotel is in the middle of no where so dont be worried on the transfer from the airport when you dont see a person or building for miles! We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived with drinks laid out in the hotel lobbey, we were then shown to our ground floor room (2015) which was a good size and spotless, concierge arrived with our luggage about 20mins later. Room had air con, fridge... more
Fantastic !!
Having heavily researched the internet, and reading every review about the hotel, we felt we must give back our opinions of this hotel. Starting from the beginning we flew with Astraeus (who we'd never heard of) but what a very good airline. Good food and very good legroom, as i'm 6ft 4. We didn't pay for extra legroom seats and very glad we didn't as the standard seats offered plenty of room. On arriving at the hotel check in was swift, and escorted to our room with our luggage turning up about 15 mins later. HOTEL: The hotel is... more
