Amarina Jannah Resort & Aqua Park Marsa Alam

This is a resort for divers who travel with family or a non-diving partner and want more than a bed between boat days. You have a private beach, gardens, pools, an Aqua Park and places to eat and drink within the same property, so the evening does not depend on finding a taxi or negotiating dinner after a long day in the water.

Families get the practical advantages: family rooms, a kids' club, children's activities and water slides designed for different ages. Couples can keep things simpler, choosing a sea-view room, a massage or a quiet spell by the water while the rest of the household heads for the slides. The all-inclusive format also removes one small daily chore: deciding where the next meal is coming from.

You are in Coraya Bay, Egypt, at a beachfront property with direct access to a private beach. The setting is coastal rather than town-based, with gardens around the resort and the Red Sea immediately part of the layout. For a diver, that means the shoreline is part of the day rather than something reached by a separate excursion.

Marsa Alam International Airport is 3.5 miles away by road, with a drive of around seven minutes. Sofra and Ninos Italian Cuisine are about 2 miles away, while Divino Restaurant is around 5 miles away. With an all-inclusive stay, those nearby addresses are options rather than necessities; the useful point is that the resort is close to the airport without putting you in an airport environment.

The room choice is mainly about view and room to spread out. A garden-view double or twin room suits two people who want a straightforward base, while a pool-view option keeps the resort scene within sight. If three people are sharing, the superior rooms and deluxe doubles add the extra sleeping arrangement; the Family Double Room is the sensible pick when four people need to fit without turning the room into a luggage puzzle.

Sea-view rooms are the obvious choice for couples who want the Red Sea to feature in the morning rather than merely in the holiday brochure. The rooms include air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, towels, toiletries and a hairdryer, plus a minibar, electric kettle, seating area and flat-screen satellite TV. Balconies are part of the accommodation offering, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the resort.

That gives you the useful basics for a diving routine: cool air when you return warm and salty, a cold drink from the minibar, somewhere to sit before dinner and a private bathroom for the post-water reset. Cots can be requested for children aged up to two, subject to the room option and availability.

The stay is all-inclusive, with three restaurants on site. The restaurant offer includes Italian food and barbecue grill dishes, with halal options, so you can move from a familiar plate of pasta to something cooked over the grill without leaving the resort. Breakfast is served as a buffet, which is the right sort of arrangement when dive times and appetites rarely read the same timetable.

There is a bar and a pool bar for the part of the day when sitting down properly feels like unnecessary admin. Room service is also available, useful when you have eaten enough sun, salt and conversation for one day and would rather keep dinner close to your room. A child-friendly buffet rounds out the family side of the operation.

The resort gives you plenty to do without turning every afternoon into a timetable. There is a year-round outdoor swimming pool, a children's pool and an Aqua Park with water slides for different ages. Sun umbrellas, a terrace, gardens and a private beach cover the less energetic version of the day, when a lounger is the only activity that makes sense.

For a little movement on dry land, you have a fitness centre, tennis, table tennis, darts and billiards. Horse riding is also available, while snorkelling and fishing can be arranged as water-based alternatives to diving. The kids' club and children's activities give younger travellers their own programme rather than making the adults referee the pool all afternoon.

The wellness facilities include a relaxation area, sauna, hammam and massages, including couples, full-body, back, neck, head, hand and foot treatments. That is a useful menu after several days of carrying kit, climbing ladders and discovering muscles that had apparently retired years ago.

Check-in starts from 14:00 and check-out runs until 12:00. The reception is open around the clock, with a wake-up service, an on-site cash machine, a minimarket and a beauty shop. Free public parking is available at the resort, and you do not need to reserve a space.

An airport shuttle is available between Marsa Alam International Airport and the resort; arrange it with the hotel in the form that suits your arrival. The short road transfer is one of the property's practical advantages, particularly if you would rather reach the beach than spend the first part of the holiday in a vehicle.

Children of any age are welcome, and the resort has family rooms. A cot can be requested for children aged up to two, while extra beds and cots depend on the accommodation selected. Wi-Fi is free in all areas. The accepted payment method listed for the stay is cash.
