Sheraton Soma Bay Resort

Rooms very clean. Proximity to the beach and the jetty.

Ideal position between diving and sailing, quite water to swim Very very friendly staff Great food

The private beach right in front has enough loungers with umbrellas (though the front row tends to be occupied by 9-10 am), the water is very clear. We took long walks along the beach, and saw that the Sheraton part of the beach is really the best, as it's cleanest, calmest (when there's wind) and has no algae. You can even see a few fish there. If you're into snorkeling, you can visit the Jetty (10-min walk from Sheraton), where there is a fantastic coral reef with lots of fishes. It was the best snorkeling experience we've ever had. The room is great. It's spacious, there's a seating area inside and on the balcony. The balcony door has a mosquito net. The curtains are very good at blocking out the sun, so the light didn't wake us up in the morning. The room has a kettle, a minifridge, the housekeeping brings a few bottles of water every day. The room service is very good, fast (about 25 min) and inexpensive. We ordered a Pizza Pollo, which was delicious and cost around 7€. The bed is perfect: very wide, soft enough for our backs not to hurt, but not too soft, and it was one huge mattress (not 2 moved together) which is really comfortable. We liked the large walk-in shower with high-quality toiletries. The food is exceptional. The breakfast has a huge selection of warm dishes, pastries, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, lots of jams, muesli, even natural comb honey. The dinner is also perfect, with different themes each night. Apart from the main dishes and sides, there are grill stations, soups, lots of salads and dips, and an amazing selection of pastries and cakes. We absolutely loved the cakes and highly recommend the Arabian specialties like Om Ali and Knafeh. The drinks are not included at dinner (we had halfboard), but are not too expensive (2.5€ for a Pepsi). Strong and fast Wifi, even on the beach. The staff is amazing. Our housekeeper Mohamed made supercute towel animals for us, which we found such a great personal touch.

Our stay at Sheraton Soma Bay was absolutely wonderful! Everyone, including the staff and even the other guests, was so friendly and welcoming. The sea is stunning, and the Orca Diving & Jetty was breathtaking. We snorkeled every day and were amazed by the variety of fish and coral reefs. The fruit drinks were incredibly delicious, and the breakfast was fantastic with so many options, including a great variety of desserts. A special thanks to Abdullah for his excellent service and the beautiful decoration in our room—it was such a nice touch! Also, a big thanks to Said for his wonderful attitude, helping us find great restaurants, and checking in with us daily to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The resort felt very diverse, which we loved. We noticed both female staff and dwarf staff working, something we hadn’t seen in other hotels in Hurghada. It made the experience feel even more unique and inclusive. We checked out a little late, but no one made a fuss about it, which we really appreciated. The resort staff also provided golf car transportation to take us anywhere we needed within the resort, making everything so convenient. We highly recommend Sheraton Soma Bay for anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday!
