Aura Resort Sidi Abdel Rahman El Alamein

Good hotel but needs direct access to the sea

Rooms are clean but very uncomfortable, breakfast is cheap and low quality so bad, theres a weird smell in the hotel. There are 0 services. Overpriced and very average hotel.

The stay at Aura was not good at all, and went wrong for many reasons: 1- After putting a note in my booking for a king sized bed, upon arrival the receptionist asked personal questions if any of our group is a couple and did not accommodate our request, even though it wasn’t their business to ask these questions. 2- Upon arrival, they did not inform us about the facilities available including the beach. The next day we had to search for another beach to go to which was hard since they were all still closed… we had to ask them ourselves until they finally told us that there’s a beach access from Aura resort. 3- The food was very bad… they overcharge for their food and buffet which is really not worth it. 4- The resort was unclear about their visitors policy… they only told us once we were there that visitors are not allowed after 11pm which is bizarre since we’re tourists and have the liberty to host friends. 5- We asked them to bring us mugs to have coffee and they wanted to charge us for them. 6- The staff was nice but they were uninformed and unhelpful when it comes to things to see in the area and places/restaurants to go to. In short, wouldn’t recommend this resort for anyone! There are much nicer places to stay at in the North Coast that are also affordable.
