The short answer
Gemma Resort is a hotel stay in Dorry Bay, Marsa Alam, listed for one day and booked through Egypt Discovery.
Snapshot
02Overview
Dorry Bay faces the Red Sea, and the pace here is slow: warm air, changing colour on the water and long gaps between outings that are yours to fill. At Gemma Resort you can ease into the morning from your room before deciding what the day holds.
Egypt Discovery places the booking on request and can find out which rooms and board basis are open for your dates before you decide. Nothing is scheduled for you, which is the difference from a guided tour with set stops. Ask what the room rate covers so there are no surprises at check-in.

Things to Consider
Worth knowing
A sightseeing tour usually follows a set route and timetable. At Gemma Resort your days stay free, and the room details and meals depend on the booking you choose.

A 51-square-metre room for up to four, facing the garden. It comes with one king-size bed or three large twin beds, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, limited room service and a minibar that may be charged. Choose it over the pool-view room if greenery is what you would rather see.
Rate on request
Enquire
A 48-square-metre room for up to three guests, looking onto the garden, with a king-size bed and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Limited room service and a minibar are listed, and minibar items may be charged. No other bed arrangement is given, so ask us whether three people would be comfortable here.
Rate on request
Enquire

We do not hold the names of restaurants or bars, the style of food, opening times or meal plans, so we cannot describe the dining or say whether breakfast, half board or all-inclusive is offered. We will confirm the venues and board basis before you book. Some room descriptions mention a minibar, which may be charged, and limited room service.

Where it fits
Gemma Resort can be the Red Sea leg of a longer Egypt holiday, following time in Cairo or along the Nile. We can line the hotel up with your other stays and travel.
Accessibility
Gemma Resort stands in Dorry Bay on the Red Sea coast near Marsa Alam. How easy a stay is for someone with reduced mobility can depend on the layout of rooms, paths, ramps, lifts and bathrooms. Sand, uneven ground outdoors, steps and the walk between a room and the shared areas may all cause difficulty. Before booking, ask us to confirm where your room is and whether there is a step-free route to the restaurant, pool and beach. We cannot say that every part is suitable for wheelchairs. Anyone who uses a wheelchair or struggles with stairs should ask for a full access check before choosing a room.
Before you go
Ask us about minimum ages, child rates and any age limits on rooms before you book, as these can vary with the room and rate. Pushchairs may struggle on sand and rough outdoor paths. Whether a cot or high chair can be provided is for the resort to confirm on your dates, so please do not take it for granted.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The address given for Gemma Resort is Dorry Bay, in the Marsa Alam region of Egypt, which puts it on the coast. We do not have confirmed landmarks or distances, so we would rather not guess. If you tell us what you want to reach, we will check the nearest services, how to get there and roughly how long it takes on your dates, so you can compare this stretch of coast with other parts of Marsa Alam.

Marsa AlamLaguna Beach Marsa Resort is a three-star hotel on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. Its address puts it 17 km south of Marsa Alam, so this is a stay away from the town rather than in it. Getting into Marsa Alam or out to other places will mean arranging a lift or a car. Egypt Discovery books hotels on request, and we will check the room type, the board basis and any extras you want for your dates, because each one changes what you pay for.
Marsa AlamFive stars, a Pickalbatros name and an address simply given as Port Ghalib Marsa Alam: that is what we know about Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib. Port Ghalib is a resort town on the southern Red Sea coast of Egypt. Room type, board basis, facilities and transport are not described in the listing, so we check each one with you for your dates. Egypt Discovery books the hotel on request and can arrange extras on the ground if you ask, though a stay and a trip out are separate things.
