Solymar Soma Beach

Myself and my husband Stayed here for 2 weeks the beginning of May. We was in room 4052, which was in the middle of the resort, so a perfect location. Everyone at this resort literally went above and beyond to please you. Yes the animation is a bit dated, but we don’t bother with the entertainment anyway. Also the resort is 45 mins from Hurghada, again we knew this when we booked, so this wasn’t a problem either. The food was beautiful, you would have to be super fussy not to find anything😊the room was a bit dated, but really clean, never saw a bug the whole 2 weeks we was there (another bonus) The staff are what make this resort perfect, from the cleaners, waiters,bar staff, right up to management, all of them are polite and accommodating. We travel regularly, all over Europe and the Caribbean, and for us, we got what we paid for. Yes they could be a few tweaks here and there. But for a 4 star resort, it’s bang on 😃we would deffo return in the future. Plus the rosè and white wine was divine 😉

An Honest Holiday Review After reading numerous 5-star reviews, my expectations were high, but the reality fell a bit short. The reception team didn't seem very welcoming or interested in our concerns when they informed us that the 2-room family room advertised by Tui was actually two connecting rooms. This meant our kids, aged 4, 5, and 12, would be in a separate room connected to ours. Additionally, upon arrival, we found a bed missing in our room, and the staff attempted to bring in a basic pull-out bed instead of a proper one. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean and well maintained throughout our stay. The food at the various restaurants was decent but somewhat repetitive, and unfortunately, we all fell ill on the third day, leading to concerns about the food for the rest of our stay. This made us hesitant to try different dishes, despite the many restaurant options available throughout the hotel. I had read on TripAdvisor about the tap water being filtered and put into bottles, which made me uneasy. After informing the managers about our illness and water concerns, they arranged for bottled water to be delivered to our room daily. When we requested a late check-out, the man on reception was initially rude and seemed more focused on charging us for two rooms due to the family room being connecting. It took the intervention of a manager and Tui representative to resolve the issue, but the lack of customer care was noticeable along with the sheer disappoin**ent in the mans facial expressions when he’s request was overturned. The beach was crowded, but the sea was lovely, and the kids enjoyed playing there. The pools were nice but very cold, as none of them were heated. The pool service from the staff, however, was fantastic and a highlight of the hotel. The animation team provided entertaining activities on some days but were lacking on others. The pink pool party and fruit beach party were particularly enjoyable for the kids. The on-site shop was disappointing, charging everything in euros and refusing to convert prices for English Pound or USD. This led to a frustrating argument with the shopkeeper. Overall, it was a decent holiday with some highs and lows, but the fact that the whole family fell ill for over a week definitely overshadowed our experience.

I'm currently staying at Solymar, and everything is excellent. Our room is very spacious, and the balcony is almost as big as the room. Beds are very comfortable, and cleanliness is 10/10. The food is also great, there are more than enough choices for everyone's liking, and you can snack throughout the day. Beach is beautiful, and the water is very clear. I only wish it was a little less crowded, as it's hard to get a sunbed if you don't get up at 7am. All in all a great experience.

Really nice hotel! Great food, service, beach, the pool. Beds are comfortable, air conditioning is excellent. We had a problem with electricity in our room, but the guy who was cleaning our room fixed it quickly. And also general manager came to apologise, for that😄 Best thing i saw in this hotel was a lady who was baking fresh pita bread, outside of the Remal beach restauran! Such an experience! If you gonna have coctails on the beach, make sure to ask for Almaza Colada! ❤️

The stay was absolutely amazing. We stayed in Room 1243 for the first week of May 2024. Yes this place is 4 Star but the service far better than 5 Star places that we have stayed in with regards to service, housekeeping and kids club. In particular, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the restaurant manager Mahmoud who went over and beyond for my family every time he saw us and really did make our stay more than amazing. Thank you

Really it was a nice stay and I will come back for sure .I have to thank all the staff especially food and beverage staff as they are really professional and hospitable

Lovely hotel. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is good and lots of choices. Rooms are clean with comfortable beds. The guys in the lounge bar make the best cocktails 🍸. Only complaint would be to turn the air con down in the bar. It gets very cold

Amazing experience for families. Friendly and helpful staff. Great beach and lots of activities for kids!

The hotel is very nice, if you are looking for a cosy and relaxing family destination, then Solymar Soma is the place to go. The rooms are nice,nothing fancy, but very tidy and clean. Pools and beach are very well maintained, with a very cute aqua splash and sliders for the kids. The food was very good, lots of varieties with a very good quality. My favourite was the beach restaurant for lunchtime. The animation team were great, and the kids' club there had lots of activities for the kids. My daughter loved it, and there were always things to do morning and night. Special thanks to Julia at the kids club. She was super sweet and lovely 😍 The service is amazing. Everyone is always there asking and checking if you need any thing, starting from the reception team, Hossam was super helpful, and the F&B staff were amazing 👏 Thank you, Solymar team, we enjoyed our stay to the max 😀
