+kind personnel
+ good quality beach restaurant and a la carte Italian restaurant for extra cost
- large variety of choices at dinner but low quality food
- wifi in the room only with extra cost.
Overall a good choice but suggest to buy vip package

Amazing for families and children. If you want some great seaside and beach and mainly tranquility, this is the right place to be.
DIDN’t like that Expedia booked the trip from Hurghada Airport which is 2hours and 30mins away from Marsa Alam so plz beware of this detail (apparently there are no direct flights from U.K. to Marsa Alam).
Food was fine but not excellent (also the buffet it gets very messy at lunch time).
Guys from the SPA and Excursions teams literally busted my ears all day long with their packages so get ready to deal with that whilst trying to enjoy your holidays

Not as relaxing as it looks!
Posted 16 May 2017
Pros: The room was nice, comfortable, and clean, and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful
Cons: Stop sales staff harassing guests, a simple presentation and price list at time of check-in or in the room would have been more appropriate
Location: There is absolutely nothing nearby, but the reef provides plenty of snorkelling opportunities and the quad safari tour was great fun!
The resort itself is nice, and the rooms are comfortable and clean although our bathroom sink did leak a little but not bad enough to cause any issues. I wouldn't describe it as 5*, but pleasant nonetheless. What was less pleasant is the way that staff members from the spa and beauty centres treat guests. Prowling relentlessly along the beach and pool area like hyenas, looking for their next victims, they will harass you at every opportunity they get. Employing very pushy and aggressive sales techniques, they really do not like taking no for an answer and you will have to spend a decent amount of time each day dealing with them, which quickly gets very tiresome. This made our holiday more stressful than relaxing, and we were afraid to even use the gym facilities in fear of further hassles from them. The beach itself is clean and there are plenty of loungers for everyone, and the reef is incredible for snorkelling. The food wasn't spectacular but better than I was expecting and very varied so there is something for all tastes. Unfortunately, it just doesn't make up for the constant pressure applied to try and strip you of your hard-earned cash at every opportunity.

far from the city
Posted 7 Mar 2017Good hotel but very far from port ghalib and no taxi available around there, only hotel taxi and shuttle bus which very expensive compare to distance and other cities.

Nice Animation team
Posted 29 Jan 2017 on HotelsThe hotel overall can't be rated as 5 stars, it could be only 3+ stars hotel.
The bed was not comfortable and the food quality was poor, there was variety of food but without quality.
The marina is too long you have to walk like 10 minutes to arrive to the snorkeling area
The WIFI is chargeable, you have only one hour free and you have to use it on the first day
The pool was nice also the animation team was amazing, they really did amazing shows at night.

Mostly Disappointing

Pros: Beach, reef, pool
Cons: Food and service
Location: Snorkeling, Swimming, Kitesurfing, Scuba, Desert Safari
This hotel is definitely not 5 stars- it's a good 4 stars at best.I got a good deal for a week stay, all inclusive. The beach was nice, the house reef was great, the pool was nice, the room was OK. What was not good was the food. It was terrible, oily, and basically the same each day. It was more or less tasteless big-batch cooking, and I know it's hotel, but that's not 5 star quality. I also doubt the food cleanliness. I got sick, my husband got sick, our friend got sick, his mom got sick...I don't think it's a coincidence. Also, the hotel front desk people were less than professional. I booked this hotel, which is suppose to be 5 star. There is also the "Magic Tulip", which is the same location, but it's the 4 star version next door. They put us in a room in a building that used to belong to the Magic Tulip, so the room was not 5 star quality- not what I booked. Then the second day we were alerted that our room had a leak and they had to move us- this was very shady. There wasn't anything wrong with the room. However, when we got to the new room, we realized that THIS room was the 5 star one that belonged to the Royal Tulip, not the Magic Tulip. When I brought this up with the front desk and asked for a discount, they told me all SORTS of stories and offered me a fruit basket and free internet. Excuse me? It's all inclusive, I don't need more fruit! And at 5 star resorts, internet SHOULD be free. But it's not there, not even in public areas.

Amazing Value A Plus!
Posted 11 Jun 2016 on HotelsThis property is,an amazing value. If you book and pay for extra nights in Egyptian Pounds, they will honor a price equal to about $25 or $22 Euros. For full board 3 meals a day, all drinks, ice cream, and an awesome room, I'd suggest the Royal Tulip to anyone as the best place to go in all of Egypt. it's quiet, safe, great food, great location for scuba divers between safari liveaboard or for day trips. Dives are like $25! I can't say enough good about the Royal Tulip. I'm going back next year! Tell them Teodor said you should stay there.
