"Pros: I had a fantastic experience staying at this apartment in Port Ghalib. It was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable — a true home away from home. The location was ideal: peaceful yet close to the marina and restaurants. The pool was big, very clean and never crowded, sometimes with just 3-4 people using it only. Security was very friendly and always happy to help. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly throughout. I felt safe, relaxed, and completely looked after. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Cons: A bottle of water in the fridge would be nice after arriving to quite a hot country." ~Agnes

"Pros: The Hotel is amazing, the location is perfect, very closed to the Airport and for the price is very good. Bed is very confy and the room also have a nice kitchen and washing machine. Cons: Some of the staff are annoying, they keep offering unrequested services or trying to get tips. Also the receptionist told me that I could enjoy the beach, which I have tried and I noticed that I was the only Brown tourist there and one staff thought I was local, and started to talk to me in Arabic which I don't understand and I tried to explain him that I was a guest and he was not able to explain what he wanted, which angered me and I just left and went back to the pool. I wish the management will provide a proper training to their staff as the guest target are foreigners." ~Thomas

"Pros: When checking in, clearly indicate that you are staying in the chalet. They will then call the owner for the key. You are not staying in the hotel Marina Residence itself, but in a studio within this complex. The owner is very friendly and very easy to reach by whatsapp. He arranges everything you need. Wifi did not work well enough for remote working via VPN at first, but Ahmed came and solved everything really well. After that the wifi worked perfectly. The washing machine also works well, but you have to know that you open and close the door when everything is set. There is a good kettle (not plastic). Air conditioning works well, but the sliding door can also be opened smoothly, so that you have nice sun and fresh air inside. The view is on water and part of the harbor. In the evening you can hear the music from the restaurants. It is cozy. You are perfectly located in this apartment! I immediately came back again. You can have breakfast at the (new) restaurant of Marina Residence for 6 euros (pay in cash, not at reception - because you are not staying in the hotel itself but in the apartment/chalet of a private owner). You can also have breakfast at Radisson Resort for 11 euros (pay upstairs at the counter there). Cons: It's a little bit dusty." ~O.
