Marsa Alam anyone?

Loved Jordan last year now considering the above.
Possibly in the next few weeks.
Don't like too much comercialisation or staying on or next to building sites. Any recommendations, especially specific hotels/resorts greatly appreciated.
Apologies, this thread relocated following advice in the previous section.

Last August we stayed at the Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza in Marsa Alam. I can recommend this hotel greatly especially the snorkelling if you like that sort of thing? As with all All Inclusives the food did get a bit repetitive but not a major issue. Port Ghalib is only the commercialised area in Marsa Alam and is nice for an evening out of the resort (there are some restaurants, shops etc.). Other than that the hotel is mainly for relaxing and there is not much entertainment at night but again did not bother us.

Hope this helps you a little.

Very many thanks Turtle. I'll check it out.

We stayed at the Coraya Beach resort 2 years ago.
Nice hotel and lovely bay for snorkelling, diving etc.
Tere are no shopping malls or anything nearby other than a few hotels in the same bay.
Looks ok on trip advisor so it appears to be good still http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g311425-d302140-Reviews-Iberotel_Coraya_Beach_Resort-Marsa_Alam_Red_Sea_and_Sinai.html
