JAZ Costa Mares completely won us over. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and that impression only grew stronger throughout our stay. I'll mention some names, but honestly, the vast majority of the team here is exceptional and goes out of their way to make your holiday special. Animation Team - the heart of the hotel A huge shoutout to the animation team. DJ Felix deserves special recognition. His music sets during activities were spot on. The track selection was excellent, and he kept the volume at a level that felt lively without being overwhelming. Some guests preferred it louder, others quieter, and the team clearly tries to accommodate everyone, which says a lot about their attitude. The team is led by Bruno, alongside Quinty, Felix, and a few others whose names I didn't catch, but all of them brought great energy and enthusiasm every single day. Food & Service The food was consistently good throughout our stay. Variety, quality, and freshness were all on point. Most of the waitstaff were fantastic: attentive, friendly, and never expecting tips. Ibrahim and Tarek in particular stood out. Always smiling, always professional. I personally tip at the end of my stay rather than at the beginning, and I truly believe the staff here earns every bit of it. That said, a small number of waiters seemed noticeably less engaged once they realized a tip wasn't coming on day one. A minor but noticeable contrast to their otherwise stellar colleagues who remain warm and professional regardless. Rooms & Housekeeping Our room attendant Hamada was wonderful and clearly takes pride in his work. The towel art was a lovely touch and always brought a smile. This is just a friendly thought for the hotel: the housekeeping team works incredibly hard, and since towel art is more of a bonus than an expectation, perhaps it doesn't need to happen every single day. It's a beautiful gesture, but giving the team a little breathing room now and then seems well deserved. Wildlife - absolutely stunning Port Ghalib and the surrounding area offer incredible wildlife experiences. From the hotel and nearby waters we spotted sea turtles, manatees, blue dot rays, barracuda, unicorn fish, herons, an osprey, swallows, and storks. Nature lovers will be in paradise here. Note that some tourist boats in the area approach the animals quite closely. This is not something the hotel controls, but it's worth being aware of. Minor issues A couple of things worth mentioning: some tables in the dining areas wobble, which is a small but fixable annoyance. The Wi-Fi was also unreliable at times. Manageable, but could be improved. Suggestion The evening entertainment is enjoyable, but having stayed at other hotels with a similar style to JAZ Costa Mares, we noticed that some properties offer a more enriching evening program that connects guests with the local culture and environment. JAZ Costa Mares is located relatively close to Luxor, making Egypt's extraordinary history feel tangible and within reach. Combined with the breathtaking and incredibly fragile wildlife in these waters, it would be wonderful to occasionally offer talks by Egyptologists or presentations about local wildlife conservation. The manatees, turtles, and rays here are extremely rare. Helping guests understand how precious and vulnerable they are could make a real difference. It would add real depth to the experience and set JAZ Costa Mares apart. Overall JAZ Costa Mares is a genuinely wonderful hotel with a team that clearly cares. The small imperfections don't take away from what is an excellent stay. We'll be back.

Jaz Costa Mares is an excellent hotel with a few shortcomings, which I will mention at the end. Relatively smaller hotel for adults only, convenient for couples and a quiet holiday. Excellent food, perfect service from all the staff, cleaning in the room, cleanliness in the entire area. An abundance of different activities - gym, massages, water aerobics, yoga, table tennis, table football, darts, petanque, billiards, volleyball, snooker with balls, etc. Beautiful clean pools, sandy beach with gradual entry into the sea. Two quality à la carte restaurants, several bars. Unfortunately, other hotels are being built in the neighborhood of the hotel, which is quite a common phenomenon in Egypt. But the noise is not particularly disturbing. A lot of cruise ships come to the hotel's bay every day, taking tourists for snorkeling to the coral reef with turtles and dugongs. But this does not bother the hotel guests in any way, because the boats are anchored quite far from the beach. However, I would like to point out a few things that unnecessarily spoil the otherwise excellent impression of the hotel: - very slow internet connection with frequent signal outages, - fully paid minibar in the room, which is not acceptable for a hotel of this category, - very small bathroom (washbasin right next to the toilet). If someone does not mind these shortcomings, I can otherwise warmly recommend the hotel.
