Our amazing family holiday
We have recently visited the beautiful Sheraton hotel in Soma Bay, Egypt as a group of 7 - two families. Our first impression was how amazing the main hall is and the overview of the beach and sea. The hotel is awesome and huge - 3 floors and something like 300 rooms. We were warmly welcomed and got beautiful rooms on the middle floor, but they were a bit too small for families with children. We have changed the rooms for marvellous and bigger ones thanks to amazing Ms Noha Kamel, who approached us during breakfast to ask about our impressions and if we need anything. She was both very kind and accessible and also very proactive. True gem in this hotel!
We really liked the hotel and services there. The food was excellent in both quality and variety. The chefs Sherif and Fares were so hospitable and kind to help with some additional foods and beverages when the kinds had sensitive stomach. Also, some people in the restaurant made our stay memorable: Mr El Sayed made every breakfast even more enjoyable by bringing coffee/tee that we drink the moment he saw us entering the restaurant. That was truly wow in our eyes. Fouad from the beach bar was charming and made great cocktails. Our room-keeper, Mr Abdel Hamid was also very kind and approachable, and our rooms were perfectly clean and tidy. And these are just a few of the staff members that we remembered by name. Our impression is that everybody is so cheerful and smiling all the time, that it really feels like you’re in paradise.
The beach and the sea is truly amazing. Sandy beach on one side, coral reefs on the other side of the hotel, so one can enjoy swimming and snorkelling and not go anywhere from the hotel. And fish are so great in the Red Sea. And you can walk along the beach all the way to Soma Bay Marina. The sun umbrellas are renovated, and they are thick and wide. Perfect to protect you from the sun.
There were some things that can be worked on… The first thing is that animation is pretty weak - one would expect more, but all the reviews that we read before coming prepared us in a way. Maybe the weakest of all the hotels that I have visited in Soma Bay: Palm Royal, Sheraton and Caribbean… Shows in the evenings are almost non-existent, as well as beach animation for kids. I can’t say anything about the pool animation, as we never really went to pools. Also for us, one of the things, I think, is the reception. The level of english is not on the same/closely the same level among all the receptionists, so some simple request took me 2-3 calls and finally personal coming to reception to get it. But everybody was always so kind that one could easily get over it. Also, only one a la carte restaurant seems to be too few when the full season is, which is when we were there. There is only one, Italian, and they don’t make pizzas there. Kids were a bit disappointed. In the evenings, the main restaurant is overcrowded and you have to queue for the table if you don’t want to sit outside which is really hot in August. But again, the staff are trying their best to find and arrange table for you very quickly. We know that there is the Seaview restaurant, that will be opened in October and one steak house planned for next year, which is great.
There is also one thing that I can’t explain: each day when you go to the beach or pool area to get the clean towels, even though you have the towel cards, you additionally have to tell the room number. And when you exchange them for towel cards, again the same procedure. I mean, yes, it might be that one could have stolen them from me, but how often does this happen? Maybe it is something connected with the thefts that happened in the past, but this is the first time since I started visiting Hurghada that I have to do this each day...
Lastly, maybe one could think about is the ice-cream at the beach that is available e.g. from 10am to 5pm. This would be amazing for both kids and adults. 😇
All in all, we consider this vacation to be one of the best ones so far, and we are looking forward to visit this beautiful hotel again, both for the hotel itself, and also for the amazing people who work there and really make a difference when it comes to your stay. Many thanks for everything!

Wonderful and relaxing stay at Sheraton Soma Bay
We had a wonderful 11-night stay at Sheraton Soma Bay Resort and truly enjoyed our holiday from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome. As we arrived late in the evening, dinner was arranged for us in our room and delivered shortly after check-in, which we really appreciated after our journey. It was a very nice start to our stay. Our room was beautiful, with a wonderful partial sea view.
We were particularly impressed by the excellent service, the cleanliness throughout the resort, and the wide variety and high quality of the food. All members of staff we interacted with were extremely friendly, helpful and professional, and their welcoming attitude contributed greatly to our overall experience.
The beach was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. It was absolutely beautiful, especially in the early morning when everything was peaceful and quiet. We loved taking our daily walks around the peninsula and along the long pier leading to the coral reef. We also went snorkeling there several times and really enjoyed the underwater life. The pool area was also very pleasant and well maintained, and provided another great place to relax during the day.
A special mention also goes to Bahar, who introduced us to the massage services available at the resort. He was always very friendly and professional, and we had several pleasant conversations during our stay. His warm and positive approach left a very good impression.
Overall, Sheraton Soma Bay Resort fully met our expectations. We were able to truly relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and have a wonderful holiday. After 11 nights, we left with very positive memories and would definitely be happy to return in the future.
