Hotels in Soma Bay

"This hotel was a 10/10 for me. i booked for my partners 30th birthday as a present and it completely met my expectations. All staff are welcoming and friendly at the resort, from reception, cleaning staff, hospitality, animation team, security etc. they try and help you with any queries you may have from the moment you check-in. this hotel also has its own private beach and a huge central pool which runs down the centre of the resort, with a swim up bar and different areas of depths depending on your preference. The beach is decked with complimentary sunbeds / umbrellas with toilets nearby. we never struggled to get a sunbed, you dont have to put yout towel out early and have a variety of options to sit by the pool. there are also a few outdoor bars which serve food and drink in close proximity to both the pool and beach front. The rooms are also incredibly spacious, i booked a standard room and you can see from the image below how large the bed is + all the additional floor space. the buffet restaurant also swaps up a theme each night (Egyptian, Italian etc) so theres loads of variety + 4 al a carte restaurants to choose from. the hotel itself is further away from any amenities, its 30mins from Hurghada centre but the hotel does run evening shuttles for a marginal price (7 euros approx). they also run their own excursions from the lobby "

"Very good hôtel "

"I had a wonderful experience at this place. The resort is much larger than it appears in the photos, beautifully designed, very clean, and well maintained. My room was spacious and spotless, and the beach area is also extremely clean. I especially liked that there are adults-only sections at both the pool and the beach, which create a calm atmosphere. Snorkeling directly at the hotel beach was a highlight – between the sandy parts there are rocks where many colorful fish can be seen. The food is good, with a wide range of choice. My personal favorites were the Indian and sushi restaurants, but the buffet also stood out with its huge variety and the fact that it changes every evening. The dessert buffet is a real highlight: every night a fantastic selection of homemade mini-desserts and sweets, beautifully presented and delicious. Overall, there are plenty of dining options to satisfy all tastes, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The spa area is extensive and includes not only treatment rooms but also a gym, which is well equipped, very clean, and offers water, fresh towels, and fruit. Right outside is a saltwater pool, which I particularly enjoyed swimming in – a healthy and refreshing experience. I also booked four massages and left very relaxed and happy each time. Overall, the resort offers everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. I felt comfortable at all times and would definitely recommend it. "

"Second time here. The (multiple!) main restaurant food is good. Not spectacular, The a la carte restaurants excellent. We went here for the kids. 5 aquapark areas. 2 for very little kids; one right up at the top of Bluemarine (2 flumes + some smaller slides), the other one down near the beach (some slides). These are suitable for infants and of little interest to my (strong swimmer) 6 year old. There are then 3 other parks. One in Bluemarine with 5 flumes, another on the left of the beach with 6 larger flumes, including a inflatable ring flume, then the main inflatable ring park with inflatable 3 ring flumes. 120cm height limit posted on all of them which seemed fair, but in true Egyptian style, theres a tape across the rulers at 130cm. My 6 year old is 125cm and was only put up against the ruler once but after reassurance from me that he could swim was allowed to ride Again, smaller kids in arm bands were being allowed on, take 120cm as the limit though. Pools were great, lots of them, all quite shallow and great for playing with the kids. One pool reserved for adults. We did walk out over the sand to snorkel a few times along the reef. And theres a new pier being constructed right now to facilitate this more which will probably be a couple of months in construction. You can get a bitnof snorkeling in, but its a 10 minute walk and then a bit of a swim to get to the interesting reef. We used the on-site, Egypt lnternational for snorkeling trips and diving trips. "

"The staff was amazing especially Abd El Hamid from housekeeping and Abd El Baset ( one of the chefs; he had Falafel prepared especially for me At breakfast), beach staff were brilliant. All staff were professional, friendly, helpful, smiley. Sea water was stunning, I had a sailing catamaran course with Mohamed Shaaban who was a genius. Thank you to all the staff and will definitely go back."

"Amazing 10/10 service from all staff and animation staff very good quality and diverse food options. The amenities are very clean and the food/water did not get us ill like we usually hear in Egypt. It's a huge testament to staff and managers in delivering a professional and 5* experience. "

"Very good "

"When you get to your room do an inspection, head to the main lobby and give them a list of items to clean /fix. Service is great, they just need guidance on cleaning The reef and cabana area more than makes up the room issue. Unbelievable snorkeling - I am a week swimmer and loved it. Hope it does not turn into a resort like the complex next door. A true beach bums paradise for spending your day - wake up snorkle, eat, snorkle , lie around, eat, snorkle, lie around, eat, snorkle , head to room to sleep. "

"One of the most beautiful hotels we ever stayed at. The staff is absolutely amazing - from the restaurant, the housekeeping to the beach! Special shout out to Amr and Diaa from the beach /beach bar team for going above and beyond to look after us. It is possible to do some snorkeling directly from the beach. The water is crystal clear. The buffet doesn’t leave anything to be desired! If you consider staying in Soma Bay dont bother looking at other hotels- this is by far the best option! True value for money! You get free water in the rooms and on the beach. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back! Thank you to the entire Team at Kempinski Soma Bay!"
