Hotel Description
You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from Mirage Bay Resort when I first pulled up on Safaga Road – honestly, the entrance is a bit understated and you might even miss it if you’re not paying attention. But once you get past that initial “hmm, is this it?” moment, the place actually has some serious charm, especially if you’re traveling with kids or just want to splash around without breaking the bank.
The thing about this spot is that it’s really found its groove as a family-friendly retreat rather than trying to be something fancy it’s not. The aqua park is genuinely fun – not massive like some of the resort giants further up the coast, but the slides are well-maintained and the pools stay surprisingly clean considering how busy they get. I mean, during Egyptian school holidays it’s absolutely packed, but hit it on a Tuesday morning in shoulder season and you’ll practically have the place to yourself. The Ghania Suite rooms are actually quite spacious, which surprised me. They’ve got this sort of Mediterranean vibe going on with the blue and white tiles, and while the furniture isn’t exactly cutting-edge, everything works and the AC keeps up even during those brutal July afternoons.
What I really appreciate about staying here is how it sits in relation to the rest of Hurghada – you’re far enough from the chaos of the main hotel strip to actually relax, but close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you to the good snorkeling spots or the old town if you want some authentic Egyptian street food. The staff genuinely seems to care, which isn’t always a given at three-star properties. They remember your name after a day or two, and the front desk guys actually know the bus schedules to Luxor if you’re planning day trips. The breakfast is… well, it’s continental hotel breakfast, but they do this excellent fresh bread and the coffee is surprisingly decent. Just don’t expect gourmet anything – this isn’t that kind of place.
Honestly, for what you pay, especially compared to some of the overpriced places closer to the marina, Mirage Bay delivers exactly what it promises. The beach access is shared with a couple other properties, so it gets crowded around lunch time, but early morning walks along the Red Sea are still pretty magical. You’ll hear the call to prayer from the nearby mosque five times a day, which some people love and others… well, just pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The 7.6 rating makes sense to me – it’s solidly good without being spectacular, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need for a week of sun, swimming, and not overthinking anything.
