Resta Grand Resort in Marsa Alam, Red Sea, Egypt

Resta Grand Resort details

With views of the Red Sea from some bedrooms and a patchwork of pools and sun terraces, the Resta Grand Resort fits its 5 star shoes perfectly.

Made up of two storey, low-level terracotta-coloured buildings, this place has quite a village feel to it. The grounds are dotted with palms, little wooden bridges and clusters of sage-green tables and chairs.

But it’s the two swimming pools that attract the most attention. The main one is a big curvy number that snakes through the grounds. As for the other one, it is smaller but just as inviting - you’ll find them round by the rooms that come with a pool view.

Speaking of rooms, they’ve been styled with a contemporary eye. They come in two colour schemes - blue and terracotta - but whichever one you get it’ll be kitted out with extras like tea-and-coffee kits, mini-fridge and large flatscreen TVs. What’s more, decent-sized balconies or terraces come as standard, set to either pool, sea or garden views.

Elsewhere, there are four restaurants to tempt you. The main restaurant is a buffet affair with a live cooking station, so you can see the dishes being rustled up in front of you. You’ll also find three à la carte eateries here: the Plateau outdoor grill and seafood restaurant, the Zeit Zatoon for Mediterranean dishes and the Marsa Club House with fusion cuisine.
