Alexandria - Mediterranean Coast Vacations from $860

Great for the price

We just came back from a 4 day stay at Seven Seasons at the end of May 2024. El Alamein is an hour away from Alexandria, which wasn’t something we hadn’t fully realised until we got there. Also, it was not peak season so many things were not fully operating, like the Aqua Park. The apartment we stayed in was far away from the nearest pool so we needed to be driven there. The apartment, although nicely done up with modern facilities, was a little dusty when we got there and essential amenities listed on the website were missing, like shampoo etc. However, Dr Hassan was very helpful, he arranged a local driver, Alaa to transport us to and from the pool, get groceries, explore local area and to other parts of the marina. We did a day trip to Alexandria, which was amazing and also spent 2 days by the pool and marina (jet ski and speed boating). Language was a bit of an issue so we had to use a translator app. Dr Hassan regularly checked in with us. In the end, we actually had a great time and would highly recommend, but probably in peak season.

Room was clean. Loved the hotel it was clean and staff were nice. Pool was good. Location is not great.

The hotel is quite new (2-year old I guess). Rooms are clean overall (would rate cleanliness 9/10) with a modern style and nice artwork. The outside is amazing and the pool is big and "reflective" giving a very comfortable view. There's a convenient café close to the hotel entrance. It has a nice seating, but—like many hotels in Egypt: no clear policy on smoking! Thus, there is no pressure on smokers, even indoors. Many guests were smoking in the balconies too. The staff looks nice. They smile at you & are verbally sweet, but when it comes to action, you don't get what you requested. For a seasoned traveler like me (>6-7 hotels stay per year since 2001), it's very hard to convince me that the hotel (in October—not a busy time for Alexandria—has no "King Rooms," as requested. Yes, they were right: I requested a king room, and was told (on the site) that it is subject of availability. But to convince me that there is not a single available king room at 4 PM (not a late check in) is like to tell me: you're a newbie traveler who knows nothing about customer service. Of course they had king rooms that they perhaps kept for "more important guests" (or those who came through a higher priority website than Expedia). Most likely they needed a bit of time to prepare the king room, and they wanted to sell the available vs. the requested for me. Either way, the message is clear to me: I'm not an important guest there! Nice place, guys but I'm not booking it anymore.
