Sheraton Soma Bay Resort

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

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.

The beach is great, I have been to bigger hotels in Hurghada, but the beach of this hotel is much better, there is not stones or pebbles and the water is clear, there is also a diving area and a snorkeling area near to the hotel so you do not have to go to far places for snorkeling and pay extra fees. The food was great but the desserts were poor people were friendly in the room services and they offered extra mineral water whenever we wanted, the restaurant team was also friendly and more than helpful They let u use life jackets for free on the beach They have lots of nice trees in the garden(lemon trees and pomegranate), kids were interested to see them They have nice table to feed birds and pigeons, so I respect their care for the environment and other creatures

This is one of the best vacations I had in Egypt and I wish it was longer. The room was great and spacious with comfortable bed and pillows . The team in different areas ( room service , beach , reception , restaurant , ..... ) all did an amazing job to make sure we are all having a great time . The buffet was extraordinary with a variety of delicious dishes . The beach is amazing with crystal clear water . This is a kids friendly hotel where there was a room for kids to play with different toys under supervision from the hotel trained staff who can handle kids and also the kids pools are great . This is one of the best hotels in Egypt and this will definitely be the first of more stays to happen .

Despite the hotel being full, I didn't feel it at all. All services were exceptional and the staff was polite and respectful. Happy with my choice.
