02Overview

A first look

Out at KM 79, the coast road between Qusseir and Marsa Alam runs for long stretches with little in between, and that distance sets the tempo of a stay. At JAZ Costa Mares you can spend a slow morning at the hotel or plan something further afield, as you prefer.

A hotel booking has no set route, unlike a guided tour. We will check room types and board options for your dates, and Egypt Discovery can organise onward travel through a licensed Egyptian tour operator.

Background

The facts

JAZ Costa Mares is a five-star hotel in the Marsa Alam area, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Its listed address is KM 79 Qusseir, Marsa Alam, on the coast road between Qusseir and Marsa Alam.

Marsa Alam lies on the western shore of the Red Sea, south of Qusseir. The address marks a spot along that road but gives no distance or journey time to either town or to any landmark.

No ancient site, UNESCO World Heritage property or historic monument is tied to this stay, which is a hotel booking and not a tour.

Room type, board basis, facilities and check-in and check-out times depend on your reservation. Confirm them for your dates before you book, and do not assume meals, trips or transfers are included.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • Adults, couples and families after a five-star Red Sea stay where they plan their own days. It may appeal if you like a coastal position between Qusseir and Marsa Alam and will check rooms and board before booking.

Maybe not, if

  • Look closer to town if you want to walk to central Marsa Alam. It is also a poor fit if you would like sightseeing, meals or transport bundled into one booking.

What lingers

  • 01Five stars, in the Marsa Alam area
  • 02Set on the coast road between Qusseir and Marsa Alam
  • 03A hotel stay with no fixed sightseeing schedule

A guided sightseeing tour follows a timetable; a hotel stay does not. This booking is for the room, so settle meals, outings and transfers separately.

        Dining

        Where you'll eat

        We hold no description of restaurants, mealtimes or board options, so we will not say that any particular restaurant, bar or meal plan exists. If you are weighing up bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive rates, tell us and we will find out which meals and drinks each covers on your dates. We can also ask about restaurant names, opening times and whether tables must be booked.

        Watch out for these peak windows

        Tailor it

        Make it yours

        We can arrange transfers and excursions separately from the room. Ask us to check room categories and the board options open on your dates.

        Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.

        Where it fits

        Use it as the Red Sea leg after days of sightseeing in Luxor, or as the start of a beach holiday around Marsa Alam. With no set itinerary, your days stay open.

        Accessibility

        Who can join this

        The hotel stands on the coast road between Qusseir and Marsa Alam. Rooms, the pool, restaurants and the beach may involve different surfaces, steps and distances, any of which can matter if you have limited mobility. We hold no verified details about step-free routes, adapted rooms, lifts or beach access, so please do not assume wheelchair access. Tell us what you need before booking and we will ask the hotel to confirm suitable arrangements.

        Before you go

        What to pack & wear

        Children & families

        Please check the minimum age, children’s room rates and any age-based meal charges for your dates. We can ask whether a cot or high chair is available and whether notice is needed. A pushchair may help around the grounds, though sand, steps or uneven paths could make some areas awkward. Check how many people each room sleeps before booking.

        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 setting

        The hotel is in the Marsa Alam area on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, at KM 79 Qusseir. That places it on the road between Qusseir and Marsa Alam and not in a town centre. The location details name Marsa Alam and Qusseir but give no distances to sights or transport links, so ask us how best to get there and around once you arrive.

        Asked & answered

        Frequent questions

        1. 01How many nights is a JAZ Costa Mares booking?
          The listing shows a single day, but the real length is decided by your arrival and departure dates. Settle those, plus the room type and board basis, before booking. A hotel stay is not a fixed sightseeing programme.
        2. 02What is the best way to reach JAZ Costa Mares from the airport?
          The hotel’s address is KM 79 Qusseir, on the coast road linking Qusseir and Marsa Alam. An airport transfer is not stated as part of the room price, so ask about transfer choices and journey time from your arrival airport. We can arrange travel separately from the room.
        3. 03What does the room price at JAZ Costa Mares cover?
          That depends on the booking you select for your dates. Ask whether breakfast, other meals, Wi-Fi and facilities are covered, and which board basis applies. The room category listed is part of the price; trips and transfers are not unless stated.
        4. 04What would I pay extra for at JAZ Costa Mares?
          Do not assume transfers, excursions, spa treatments or meals beyond your board basis are included. The conditions of your rate set out what is and is not covered. Your Egyptian visa is also separate.
        5. 05Is JAZ Costa Mares suitable for guests with reduced mobility?
          We cannot confirm accessibility features, so please tell us what you need before booking. Useful points to ask about are step-free routes, lifts, the bathroom, and how far it is from your room to the pool, restaurants and beach. We can put these questions to the hotel.
        6. 06Does JAZ Costa Mares work for families with children?
          Several of the listed rooms sleep three or four, which may help, but check child policies, room set-up and facilities first. Ask about cots, high chairs and meals for children. Make sure the bed arrangement suits your whole party.
        7. 07What should I pack for the Red Sea coast at JAZ Costa Mares?
          Light clothes, a hat, sunglasses and sun cream suit the climate. Take swimwear for the pool and sea, and something that covers your shoulders and knees for visits to towns or religious sites. A thin layer can be useful in air-conditioned rooms and on winter evenings.
        8. 08Are photographs allowed at JAZ Costa Mares?
          Ask the hotel what its rules are for shared spaces, the pool and the restaurants. Do not photograph other guests or staff without their agreement. Places you visit nearby may have their own rules, so read any signs.
        9. 09Which months are best for staying at JAZ Costa Mares?
          The cooler months, roughly October to April, are the most comfortable for time outdoors, but the hotel can be booked all year. Summer brings real heat. Compare seasonal conditions with the availability on your dates.
        10. 10Where exactly is JAZ Costa Mares in relation to Qusseir and Marsa Alam?
          Its listed address is KM 79 Qusseir, on the coast road between Qusseir, to the north, and Marsa Alam, further south. The details we hold give no distances or journey times to either town, so ask us if you need them.

        Brayka Bay Resort

        Brayka Bay Resort is a four-star hotel on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, 17 km north of Marsa Alam town. That puts it away from the town's shops and cafes, so a trip into Marsa Alam needs a car or taxi.
