new marina . your best choice for family

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about New Marina? The name’s a bit misleading – it’s not actually right on the marina, but honestly, that works in its favor. It sits just back from the main Hurghada waterfront chaos, maybe a five-minute walk from where all the dive boats cluster, which means you get the convenience without the constant engine noise at dawn.

I’ve stayed in plenty of three-star places along the Red Sea, and this one punches above its weight class. The family who runs it – and I mean actually runs it, not some distant management company – clearly gets what travelers need. The rooms are simple but thoughtful. Nothing fancy, but the air conditioning works (crucial in Hurghada’s summer heat), the water pressure’s decent, and they’ve got those little touches like extra towels without you having to ask. The beds are firmer than what you’d find in European hotels, but after a day of diving or beach time, you’ll sleep fine. What really impressed me was how quiet it stays at night, even during peak season when the strip hotels are dealing with poolside parties until midnight.

The location’s actually perfect if you know Hurghada at all. You’re close enough to walk to the marina for boat trips – and trust me, you’ll be doing plenty of those – but far enough from the main tourist drag that you can grab dinner at actual local spots. There’s this little seafood place about two blocks away where the fishermen eat, and the hotel staff will point you toward the good stuff without trying to steer you to their cousin’s overpriced restaurant. Speaking of staff, they’re genuinely helpful in that unforced way – like when I needed to extend my checkout time for a late afternoon flight, it wasn’t a production, just “sure, no problem.” The breakfast is simple Egyptian fare, nothing Instagram-worthy, but the tea’s strong and the bread’s fresh, which is what matters when you’re rushing to catch a 7 AM dive boat. Parking’s easy too, which sounds minor until you’re driving around other parts of Hurghada looking for a spot that won’t cost you twenty euros a day. The whole place has this relaxed, unpretentious vibe that’s gotten harder to find as Hurghada’s grown more touristy – it feels like what family hotels used to be before everyone started trying to be boutique resorts.
