The resort is unfortunately intended for less sporty people who prefer just the beach (which is already covered with towels at 5 am...and no, there are actually no German bathers) and sunbathing. The food unfortunately never saw a spice and the Egyptian selection was unfortunately very small and sad. Our air conditioning was broken and it took some persuasion to get it fixed.
Generally the reception was not very happy to see us. Room 1142 made too many "demands", at least that was our impression.

The hotel unfortunately did not meet our expectations.
Rooms: The rooms were very old and needed to be renovated. However, it was clean and the beds were very comfortable.
Food: Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. There were very often the same dishes, all unseasoned and extremely bland. It is very much geared towards the Italian and Polish clientele, who have the upper hand. More local food instead of pasta, pizza and chips would be desirable. Also, everything is self-service, including the drinks. This is not a bad thing, but we would have liked a certain level of service
Service: very mixed. There was very friendly staff but also very unfriendly staff where you had the feeling that you were "disturbing" them. When we arrived we had to insist on getting two room cards at reception, which was very tedious (as they normally only give one per room and were not flexible enough to accommodate our requests for flexibility). Then the air conditioning broke and was only repaired after four requests.
Dive center: the dive center manager was away when we arrived and her replacement did little to make us feel welcome. We were given no introduction to how the diving operation works and we had to ask for everything. We also received little attention during the checkdive when my colleague had problems. However, the crew on the boat were super nice, in a great mood and we felt very comfortable. We gave the leader our feedback directly when she came back (unfortunately on our last day). Basically a good diving center, but our first impression was unfortunately very unfortunate.
Dive sites: to be honest, we had hoped for a bit more based on the descriptions we had read. The water was extremely warm at 31/32 degrees, maybe it was also too hot for the fish :) What we saw was nice, but not necessarily that we would want to go there again.

All in all, we wouldn't go to Wadi Lahmy again, mainly because of the hotel/clientele/especially the food.
Also, the transfer is 2.5-3 hours because of the bad roads. I would definitely go to another resort, closer to Marsa Alam, it's not worth the long journey, and I think there are more beautiful dive sites there too

The long journey (flight + 2.5 hours by car9 pays off. The grounds are very well maintained and green. Lots of birds. There is a real espresso machine at the bar - TOP. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The cuisine has enough variety and both European and Egyptian dishes. The hotel reception is also always friendly and helpful.
The diving school is well equipped. They also try to help if something breaks or something else is needed. Friendliness is a top priority. Just like the hotel, everything is clean and well maintained. The house reef is basically beautiful, but unfortunately badly affected by coral death (Feb. 2024). There are still some beautiful spots, but I estimate that around 70-80% of the corals have died. The boat trips offered (even if there are only a few divers) are recommended, as these dive sites can otherwise only be seen on liveaboards. Some of them are also an international highlight! If you get seasick easily, watch out for a remedy, as the boat often sails across the waves, which is no fun. All in all, a vacation to relax, unwind and dive. I would consider 10 days to be optimal. The price/performance ratio is TOP!!!
IMPORTANT: Do not bring any drones to Egypt. These are already taken away at the airport and handed back at the departure for a fee.

The rooms are spread over one and two-storey buildings in the beautiful gardens. I would particularly like to highlight the gardeners' work because it really is outstanding. The rooms are large enough, clean and the first floor rooms have direct access to the outside via the terrace. Our room requests (proximity to the dive center and two rooms next to each other) were fulfilled perfectly. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor area. You dine with a view of the sea. There is something for everyone at the buffet. Alcoholic drinks are not included in the AI and are quite expensive. However, this suited us, so there is no excessive alcohol consumption. The hotel is quiet and ideal for relaxing. It is obvious that the reefs suffer from the high water temperatures. But this has nothing to do with the hotel. The lifeguards are very friendly and helpful. The diving equipment is always brought to the entrance at the end of the jetty by golf cart. The lagoon can be reached on both sides of the jetty via small platforms and steps. It is also great for snorkeling. We felt very comfortable at Wadi Lahmy Azur.

There was one room with water problems in the shower, flooding in the room
Many rooms were standard classified with double, this was on request then replaced to 2 single beds
Reception could be a little more efficient, you do not feel like a lot of paperwork if you have traveled so far and they knew that we came with a large group (32 people)

The gradual damage of the underwater world is visible everywhere. The organization and execution of the diving trips was good. The support of the dive guides was very good.
The location is very lonely in the desert. There is nothing to do except diving.

Just going to ... last piece of undamaged coral.

It is a nice quiet resort. The rooms are well cared for and clean.
The food is buffet style in a waterfront restaurant. The buffet has plenty of offerings in both European and Egyptian dishes .
The diving center (Orca Dive Clubs) offers varied opportunities for diving. Both diving on the house reef (every hour) and day trips by boat are possible.

hotel fine, small scale but for me more than fine. dive sites are a bit disappointing reef left is fine right less so. boat diving is then a good alternative

The resort is fully equipped and the service is very good. The staff tries to help you from all sides.

The only thing less was that the wifi (maximum 125mb per stay free) went down after 2 days and stopped working. So we could no longer get the pictures off the camera and keep the home front informed. Not a disaster, just inconvenient.

1. Of the two room, 1 room suffered from bedbugs.
2. We had booked all-in but not everything was all-in. It would be good if you, as a dive travel agency, made this kind of zaker more sharply clear prior to the trip.

Was here 10 years ago, I went back here because it is not flooded with tourists this is fortunately still the case.
The diving club (orca) is of good quality and very helpful. The resort itself could use some refurbishment. The staff is friendly and helpful. wifi is inadequate.

Great staff and well organized. Second time around since 2017 but still being recognized feels like coming home. The staff does there best to make you feel comfortable and being on holidays. We'll be back.

Lovely small scale resort with lots of personal attention. Beautiful gardens and lovely pools. Softallinclusive brings a fine crowd; divers, swimmers, kiters and birdwatchers. Beautiful house reef where you can spend some days. Dive base has a fine boat. Trips to fury shoals are wonderful. The dive center could be more customer oriented towards non-German guests. Internet/ wifi moderately available. Renting a dongle at the reception is recommended.

The rooms were nice and had a balcony which overlooked the dive center and the red sea behind it. Food was good, fairly varied. House reef was nice and the other locations nice exit points.
