Hurghada Marriott Beach Resort stands on the beachfront in Al Mamsha El Seyahi, on El Corniche Road, and calls itself a luxury family-friendly resort near the airport. It has 282 rooms, three restaurants with international buffets, Italian fine dining and Asian specialities on a private bamboo island that you cross over to, and three bars or lounges including a beach bar and a poolside bar. Two outdoor pools and a children's pool are provided, and Planet Spa offers a sauna and a steam bath. A marina and water sports centre add PADI diving, kayaking, sailing, surfing and bodyboarding, and water skiing, with two tennis courts and squash courts on land.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about thirteen minutes by car from Hurghada International Airport, which makes it one of the shorter transfers on the coast, and a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge. It sits on the Corniche, closer to the town than the resorts of Village Road, so the marina, shops and restaurants are within easier reach. Excursions to Giftun, Dolphin House and the desert collect from the area. The marina on site means you can start boat trips and diving from the resort itself.
Rooms, dining and board
Board varies by rate. Some rates are all-inclusive, covering buffet meals, snacks and limited beverages, with gratuities included, while others include only breakfast, which is available for a fee. Check the rate you are booking. A free children's club, free cribs on request and rollaway beds for a nightly charge make it simple to travel with young children, and the property is not adults-only. Free Wi-Fi, free self-parking and an electric vehicle charging station are listed, and pets are not allowed.
Who it suits
Families who want a dependable brand-name resort with a children's club, divers and water sports fans who like having a marina on the doorstep, and travellers who want a short airport transfer. Couples will enjoy the bamboo island dining and the spa. The resort is not as large as the biggest Village Road properties, which can feel more personal, but the location on the Corniche means it is busier outside the gates.
Ask the hotel about the opening times of the dive centre and which water sports are included in your rate. Check the room types to find one with a sea view or garden outlook, and book specialty dining early in high season. It also helps to confirm the age rules for the kids' club, the dive centre schedule and whether the bamboo island restaurant needs a reservation.
