Blue Vision Diving Hotel in Marsa Alam, Red Sea

  After a long break from diving, I wanted to rest for a few days and start diving again before embarking on a liveaboard. The Blue Vision Diving Hotel turned... read more out to be the perfect choice for this: a large pleasant room with balcony, almost a suite, a quiet ambience and some nice and varied shore dives with Mohamed, attentive and helpful guide, and the other guests. Good cuisine in the in-house small restaurant. If I am in the area again, I will be very happy to come back. Thank you for the pleasant stay and the friendly help received from the whole staff!

  Booked through Airbnb.

It seems that Muhammad is only nice to you if you scuba dive with him. We learnt it from the very beginning, when he forced us... read more to change our booking to 2 nights instead of the one night we originally had. He called us on the phone and said he has a min 2 night policy even though we were able to book just one night through airbnb. We waited in the hot sun and were only allowed in after we made a new booking.

There's no staff around to ask questions at all. Muhammed only answers questions related to scuba diving prices. Which was funny.

The listing clearly said breakfast was included. However he rudely denied it. Luckily Airbnb has good customer service and we got a partial refund.
He then messaged us and said very rude things to us, even used a curse word.

The room is full of mosquitoes and facilities are very run down. It was very dusty, but the cleaner was very kind and cleaned up pretty well after we asked. We only extended our stay because the cleaner is nice, and that it was a hassle to move places.

Oh and the pool has a weird yellow colour so we never tried to go near it.

  I was backpacking along the Red Sea coast - came to Blue Vision Diving Hotel by chance - and found a new temporary home 🙂 I was warmly welcomed by... read more Mohamed and his sister in this beautiful oasis - not only as a guest, but as a friend. Unexpectedly, I had my first diving lessons with Mohamed and it turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life! Diving is magical - and Mohamed is the perfect instructor to become part of the underwater world.... I highly recommend the place and the diving courses! I hope to visit the place again....

  Excellent Scuba diving hotel. They provided transportation and guides to all the amazing dive sites of marsa alam. Hotel very clean and they make you anything you want to... read more eat ! I really acknowledge the manager and owner Mohamed Salama for making this trip such a life changing experience. I came by plane and also arranged my transfers to and from the airport.

  I’ve only just signed up with trip advisor and therefore do not have any other “posts” I’ve been diving in Egypt for about 30 years now and have stayed in... read more many hotels mostly of the larger groups (Hilton / Renaissance) then about ten years ago we discovered Blue Vision and have stayed there now many times It is ideal for small groups of divers to stay and dive with Mohamed he specialises taking his guests to the many local shore based dive sites or boat diving can be arranged if preferred. We were there last month for three weeks and saw him take two non divers through the Padi open water course after which I dived with one of the newly qualified divers - her buoyancy control was perfect over the 60 plus minute dive if I hadn’t known better I’d have thought she had been diving for years. Blue Vision has large clean comfortable air conditioned rooms. It has its own restaurant and you don’t have to rush to find a sun bed around the pool. Marsa Alam town is slowly expanding, it is more authentic local Egypt than Hurghada or Sharm with many small local coffee shops and restaurants. Mohamed or his sister will arrange airport taxis for you we’ve always found the taxi service to be reliable and it takes about 40 minutes. So that’s it for my first post I hope it has been helpful Regards... I’ve only just signed up with trip advisor and therefore do not have any other “posts”

  Mohamed is an amazing host. He really cares about the people staying in the hotel and aspires to deliver the best experience possible.

From arranging taxi's to letting... read more us use his own coffeemaker, nothing was too much. He even lent us his motorcycle!

Mohamed made sure our trip in Marsa alam was a succes, would definitely stay here again. The rooms were neat and up to expectation. The pool was above expectation and really lovely after a hot day.

Thank you Mohamed!

  I had a wonderful stay at Blue Vision Diving Hotel! Over three nights, I had an excellent experience. The owner, Mohamed, was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He organized drivers... read more for us, ensuring we could easily reach the beach and explore recommended attractions.

Thank you Mohamed!!!

  It was very good experience, host very nice, the place clean and with lot of services. Thank you so much !
As well Marsa Alam is an amazing place... read more for snorkelling and diving! We haven't had the chance to discuss ve with Mohamed but hopefully we'll come back one day to do so

  We stayed at Blue Diving Hotel for a week and we loved it!
The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and everything is well maintained.
But more importantly... read more the diving with Mohamed, the owner of the Hotel, was an amazing experience. He has been diving here for the past 20 years and knows every spot. Whats special is that he only takes very small groups and therefore diving with mohamed is not a commercial experience but a very personal one. Between the dives we always had time to chill at the beach as long as we wanted and werent hushed in the water to save time.
Thank you for taking such good care of us and we will definetly come back! More
