I am writing a review for the first time in all my travels to Egypt, and here we have been 5 times (in Hurghada) for the first time in this hotel. I must say right away that they were looking for reviews, and not for a space price with a flight from Chisinau ... I'll start with the reception, we arrived at 8 in the morning, waited until 11 and asked for bracelets to go to eat, to which we were told that it was impossible, only sleep lunch, breakfast is not included in today, although in all hotels in Egypt, (by I was in 4 more hotels in Sharm in Hurghada) the bracelets gave the morning to everyone who stopped by for breakfast without any problems.

I am writing a review for the first time in all my travels to Egypt, and here we have been 5 times (in Hurghada) for the first time in this hotel. I must say right away that they were looking for reviews, and not for a space price with a flight from Chisinau ...
I'll start with the reception, we arrived at 8 in the morning, waited until 11 and asked for bracelets to go to eat, to which we were told that it was impossible, only sleep lunch, breakfast is not included in today, although in all hotels in Egypt, (by I was in 4 more hotels in Sharm in Hurghada) the bracelets gave the morning to everyone who stopped by for breakfast without any problems. Then the administrator called and humiliatingly said that okay, we will give you bracelets, since you came with children, but not a word to the rest, after us there were still such 5 families, with charity from this administrator.????
According to reviews, he really let us down, because he really does not reach 5 *, I would say even up to 3 *!
The food is terrible! Vegetable soup is just 10 liters of water and two squares of zucchini. Of the edible only rice, we ate it all 7 days.
From meat and seafood, only the same fried fish and then not in large quantities, there are no salads from the word AT ALL! The tomatoes are green, the queues in the restaurant at the bar and for ice cream are simply unrealistic, I have never seen anything like this. Of the fruits, only melon is edible. I generally keep quiet about desserts, weather-beaten three types of cakes are even scary to look at, not to eat ...
On the third day, the child began to have food poisoning, vomiting and high fever, the remaining four days lay with diarrhea.
The rooms are old, the wind blows through all the cracks in the door, it is impossible to sleep.
The receptionist is a complete mess! Upon departure, they didn’t take our suitcases from our room, we had to pull them with the children from the 3rd floor to the reception desk at 3 o’clock in the morning, and this is 500 m for a minute ???????
On the beach, every 5 minutes they come to you with different offers about diving, braids, massages ...There are 100 of them working there, the beach is big.
To get a good place on the beach, you need to go there at 7 in the morning, because there are not enough places on the wide beach, everyone leaves their towels and does not come during the day.
Of the pluses, I note:
Nice beach, clean warm sea, the waiters at the bar and in the restaurant are helpful.
But I would not go here if I read a real review. I advise you to choose carefully, and read the reviews, it is better to overpay $ 200 and not regret this vacation.
Here because of the administration, cuisine, unsanitary conditions, huge queues in the restaurant.
I DONT HAVE!!! !

Traveled with my wife and 14 year old son. The first time I rested in the summer in Egypt... earlier, usually in spring or autumn, it’s hot for me... As for the hotel, the last time I was there four years ago, during this time the beach has become much better, new sun loungers, shelters from the sun, the bar has been reconstructed .

Traveled with my wife and 14 year old son. The first time I rested in the summer in Egypt... earlier, usually in spring or autumn, it’s hot for me... As for the hotel, the last time I was there four years ago, during this time the beach has become much better, new sun loungers, shelters from the sun, the bar has been reconstructed . They fed very decently, as for quarantine time... a lot of fruits - watermelons, melons, peaches, etc. There were no frills, but they did not feel hungry either. Separate respect to the animation team. . . Sasha, Dasha, Veronica, Mido, Karim - you are the BEST!! ! Thanks to Katya Guest Relations for help and great mood. Of the minuses - a little "tired" rooms, but for us it was not a problem, we only spent the night there... There is no problem with Wi-Fi in the rooms at all, and at the reception it is very bad... We may have been lucky in cleaning - the cleaner was Russian-speaking and coped with his duties 100 percent, responded to any requests. The sea is warm +25. . . +26, not far from the coast one could observe big turtles, swim with them. In general, a very cool rest.

We rested with a large group at the end of April - beginning of May. So: the feelings are sooo ambiguous, the hotel does not pull 5 stars, the territory is beautiful, the rooms are large, the cleaning is good, yes, they don’t spin swans, but our children are adults, they cut everything, wash, clean, there are no complaints, BUT food and alcohol leave much to be desired, hence the conclusion, though not bad, no one has gained excess weight))).

The food is the same type, the alcohol is frank shmurdyak, only the name is different, there are no fruits, I say no, because green bananas and oranges in the watermelon season are not 5 stars. It was also indignant that because of the covid everything was behind glass and some staff think that 2 pieces of cucumber should be enough, you stand and beg for more, although not all, there were those who piled over the edge and with a smile, also in bars , then it’s a pity for the ice, then the grenadine is over, then there’s enough cola for you, come later again, which pissed me off, by the way, there was no such attitude towards foreigners, it was striking, unpleasant.
The beach is excellent, the sea is beautiful, although 2 days before departure after 15.00 it was impossible to enter it - jellyfish and mud.
Entertainment. Nuuuu such a "night party" - get ready to dance to the Serbian folk, because. Serbs there is a sea, or Arabic music, because. the DJ is crazy about her, our requests were ignored, the DJ doesn’t even know foreign hits, and if you show them on YouTube, then in response, a frostbitten face and the phrase “there is no such music in our playlist. ”
Our vacation went off with a bang, despite the shortcomings of the hotel and staff, visited Luxor-unforgettable, took quadrics for rides in the desert as many as 2 times, the guide is just smart. If you go abroad for the first time and there is nothing to compare with, I will advise the hotel, if this is far from your first time, then look for other options. And by the way, in the end, about buying a SIM card with the Internet at the airport, you will be deceived, we took 2 cards for 10GB, which, when activated, showed that there was no money on it, and for 28GB, which died after 12GB, then they demanded payment, and we weren't the only ones experiencing this.

Rested home for the May holidays of 2021 - 2 adults and 2 children 13 and 6 years.
The purpose of the trip was a weekly prelude to the summer - the sea, the sun, excursions and a minimum of work.
Operator - Coral Travel.
Soma Bay was chosen because it had not been in the region before - purely Hurghada and several times before Sharm.
Here they promised a beautiful beach - without low tide and with the opportunity to really swim not only in the pool.
Departure from Lviv in the afternoon.
Arrived at the hotel around 20:00 - 40 minutes drive from the airport.
They quickly gave the key to the room, took things away from the reception and went to dinner.
From the road the food seemed good - no frills like the choice of fish and seafood (in the yard was Sunday anyway).
Chicken in several interpretations, pasta, pastries, veal, salads with authentic dressings, french fries, fairly well-cooked vegetables, fruits (oranges, tangerines, bananas, apples) and standard drinks white wine (red is a little harder to make) and sweet water with gas and without.
It is not possible to take most of the food yourself - all are distributed by workers through glass - anti-epidemic requirements.
Hence the marching queues of guests who ruthlessly and without masks breathe into each other's heads.
Meanwhile, all the workers had enough masks, but not enough gloves - they take plates and glasses with their fingers to the middle.
The plates and glasses themselves are far from perfectly washed away, but many of them have not been seen.
Devices are packaged in packets with a napkin, the napkins themselves must be able to hunt separately.
The staff is quite slow - before Ramadan, the forces leave the orthodox Muslims fairly quickly, but as of 20:00 it was already possible to have a snack, as customs officers or border guards did at the airport.
After dinner, the driver of the electric car drove his suitcases to the room, for which he received a tip.
The number of rooms is shabby, but the size of the room is quite good - 35-40 meters somewhere like a superior with a small terrace on the ground floor near the garden.
The children were put down and went to the beach bar to dance - a pleasant atmosphere and cocktails came in quite easily - because in the dark you could not see the quality of washed glasses or gloves on the hands of bartenders.
What else can you want from the first night of vacation?
In the morning, the key card stopped working. Swapped for two new ones.
Beach towels - new, large and absorb moisture well.
The beach is beautiful. Caribbean-style umbrellas are large and normal aluminum sunbeds in sufficient quantities for 80% of the hotel.
There is almost always a lifeguard on the beach, the flag was green - despite the light wind.
It is nice to swim and it is possible to swim a few hundred meters along the buoys.
Children have a place to play. The bar with drinks and ice cream is nearby.
There is a volleyball court nearby (the hotel ball is made of rubber, the net is low and a little tired, and the thickness of the sand is small - you can beat your elbows and knees to blood).
In order not to write further in the diary format, I will follow the paragraphs.
Animation.
Yes, they try in the morning and in the evening, but it is somehow tight and tense.
Service
Room cleaning does not involve swans and crocodiles from towels, even for money. And it's a pity - the children are used to it.
Guest Relationship is a nice girl who tried to convey our remarks to the management and for a while something changed for the better. The hotel manager himself looked into the restaurant, supervised the work of the staff and seated the guests.
Hotel guides are lazy, arrogant and unfriendly descendants of at least "Pharaoh's chasers". And it doesn't matter that you take the most expensive tour from them and politely ask about the time of departure.
Restaurant.
The hotel is almost fully booked, and only the main restaurant is open - another one on the beach is closed for some reason, which provokes queues and a clear lack of distance between guests.
There are à la carte restaurants (Arabic and Italian). The first is interesting at least with fresh bread from the oven next to it and the serving of dishes, and the second is a disgrace. The Italians were not standing nearby. What pasta, what pizza, what tomatoes with mozzarella in a diner in Lviv will win in these 5 * in all respects.
Food.
Monotonous. Chicken, pasta and potatoes with veal are the norm. One time there was a dried turkey for dinner, and the next time there was quite a juicy duck. Sometimes quite interesting eggplants and sluggish watermelon once a week do not save the situation.
Of the fish - once grilled tuna, and yes - mostly cheap pangasius and something in between battered and fried. Once they tried to surprise with grilled seafood - a few squid rings were added to pieces of unknown fish and several types of cabbage for lunch + onions and peppers. For more boss decided not to bother.
Breakfast can save yogurt, cream cheese with vegetables and even porridge with jams, and eggs and omelets should be asked to fry.
I do not recommend local hard cheeses and sausages at all - even when compared to sausages in Ukraine and unknown composition of sausages.
Territory.
Big enough. The pools are clean. Not all bars are open. Especially - after the entertainment program at 9.30. You want to go have a drink and chat to the music, but there's nowhere to go. Literally.
Another hour in the only working bar near the reception disappears summer, vodka for cocktails and other small ingredients of a pleasant stay.
Ping pong tables, rackets and table football are shabby and broken, the lighting above them is bad in the evening.
There may be a glass or bottle lying around all day and no one will remove them. The tracks need to be repaired. The greens are quite juicy. Palm trees and grass are well-kept and attract many birds.
Beach.
Clean enough, but for some reason it is cleaned too late - 8-10 o'clock is not the best time for raking garbage in the wind - the sand flies on the guests.
Onsite shopping and spa.
You can bargain. The pharmacy is very expensive. It is best to go to Safaga - colorful and cheaper. In the hairdresser's I work quite diligently on hairstyles.
Guests.
In addition to Ukrainians, there are Serbs, Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, Belarusians and a few Russians and German-speaking families.
The airport shows planes flying from Switzerland, Poland, Belarus and other countries, which provide Egypt with an influx of funds from tourism.
Conclusion.
For a clean beach you can go, but the hotel does not pull for 5 stars. The service and food standards are 3 stars Spanish or Greek.
The kitchen requires a new chef from Europe. to be better than the working class with his desire for a snack on alcohol.
Coral seems to be worried about his reputation, but to pick up people on the flight at 4:00 am to take the road to Hurghada to the next store of soldiers and not to warn about the postponement of the flight for another 80 minutes - it's somehow not very fair.
In short - an interesting experience that is not very worth repeating. Looking not only for the beach (for kiting and windsurfing with diving), but also preferably a chain hotel with European owners. Or do not come to Ramadan. There are not enough Arabs - there is no one to try.
Wants - a few years ago on Ramadan were in Sharm in Amphoras hotels and it's like heaven and earth. Nubians in Sharm are also an order of magnitude higher. In short, everyone has the right choice.

We rested in the second half of April 2021. The weather is warm, the wind is rare, the sea is warm, clean and calm. There are not many fish. There are huge turtles. The beach is large, the entrance to the water is gentle. For kids, it's perfect. From the hotel you can see the mountains (on the right and behind), this really decorates the landscape.

We rested in the second half of April 2021. The weather is warm, the wind is rare, the sea is warm, clean and calm. There are not many fish. There are huge turtles. The beach is large, the entrance to the water is gentle. For kids, it's perfect. From the hotel you can see the mountains (on the right and behind), this really decorates the landscape. The hotel is in the desert, you can walk along the sea to neighboring hotels. You can take a boat on the beach and ride to the islands. The territory is not very large, green, well-groomed, ibis and other birds walk. In the evening, the backlight, but dark.
The food is all salty and peppery, the alcohol is bad (the beer is tasty, but mostly non-alcoholic), the glasses are dirty or very small disposable.
Service is disgusting from the moment you check in. Arrived early in the morning, many with small children. We immediately prepared a separate bag with things for the beach while we were waiting for check-in at 2 o'clock. BUT! At the reception they said we will settle you now, just wait a little. We are waiting. We ask how long to wait? Again, the answer is soon. After 2 hours, our nerves could not stand it and we said either you are going to settle us right now, or we are looking for food, on the beach, and not sitting with a small child all day in the lobby! And then we were told “let's have dollars for tea”. All other people also eventually paid (some with dollars, some with chocolates).
Dear hotel management, you either officially take money for early check-in, or tell people to go about their business until 2 o'clock and do not count on settling. As a result, they promise to settle and just keep people in the lobby until they pay a bribe! For this I reduce points and I will not recommend the hotel to anyone! Also, throughout the rest, the service suffered, bartenders with very angry faces and all the staff begging for a dollar. I'm in Egypt for the third time and only in this hotel. Did not like. And nature and sights, yes, super.

Took: two numbers.
Settlement
Arrived at the hotel around 9:30, checked in at 11:00. At the reception they gave $ 20 for rooms with sea views.
Numbers
Everything is at the highest level, no comments except TV. Here it is analogous to the great picture: many local TV channels + a few Russian, even less Western and no Ukrainian.
But since we are not really surprised by the TV, it doesn't matter.
Food
Very decent and again without comments. Breakfast and lunch at a restaurant on the beach. In the evening in the main restaurant, but since the occupancy rate was 10-15% - the main restaurant was closed on the 5th day of our stay and then we had dinner either in an Arabic restaurant or in Ala-Kart (Italian cuisine). At the same time, it was possible to go to Alya Kart at least every day.
Drinks
Juices - continuous chemistry, Cola / Fanta / Sprite - all is well, beer - Stella in bottles or bottling (other) - VERY good quality.
Whiskey-like spirits are solid shit (just like everywhere else in Egypt). Since I was only interested in beer - it's all great : )
Beach
Just incredible. Very wide, cool entrance, sand bottom. In the area of the first buoys the depth is a little more than 2 meters per hour of inflow. The buoys have a sand bottom and everything is safe (except for one place where there is a stone where moray eels live). Behind the buoys there is coral and there is already a variety of fish, stingrays and turtles. Dolphins once swam in, but I didn't see them. Saw other vacationers. In general, the beach is incredible.
Service
Very high quality, and for an extra few dollars it gets even better. The main thing is not to be greedy : )
Eviction
I would like to write separately about eviction. We had a flight back at 19:05, departure from the hotel at 15:30.
We had two rooms. One was handed over at 12:00, the other was left for us until 15:00. The bracelets were not cut, so we had a normal lunch and then went to the airport.
Weather
This is my fourth time in Egypt and the third time in Hurghada.
$ 100-25 euro franchise. Therefore, VUSO, next time I will buy a car from you : )
Took: two numbers.
Settlement
Arrived at the hotel around 9:30, checked in at 11:00. At the reception they gave $ 20 for rooms with sea views.
Numbers
Everything is at the highest level, no comments except TV. Here it is analogous to the great picture: many local TV channels + a few Russian, even less Western and no Ukrainian.
But since we are not really surprised by the TV, it doesn't matter.
Food
Very decent and again without comments. Breakfast and lunch at a restaurant on the beach. In the evening in the main restaurant, but since the occupancy rate was 10-15% - the main restaurant was closed on the 5th day of our stay and then we had dinner either in an Arabic restaurant or in Ala-Kart (Italian cuisine). At the same time, it was possible to go to Alya Kart at least every day.
Drinks
Juices - continuous chemistry, Cola / Fanta / Sprite - all is well, beer - Stella in bottles or bottling (other) - VERY good quality.
Whiskey-like spirits are solid shit (just like everywhere else in Egypt). Since I was only interested in beer - it's all great : )
Beach
Just incredible. Very wide, cool entrance, sand bottom. In the area of the first buoys the depth is a little more than 2 meters per hour of inflow. The buoys have a sand bottom and everything is safe (except for one place where there is a stone where moray eels live). Behind the buoys there is coral and there is already a variety of fish, stingrays and turtles. Dolphins once swam in, but I didn't see them. Saw other vacationers. In general, the beach is incredible.
Service
Very high quality, and for an extra few dollars it gets even better. The main thing is not to be greedy : )

We rested with children. I really liked the spacious beach with a clean gentle slope. The hotel itself is very atmospheric, the staff is friendly. The room is clean, the furniture is not new, but well maintained. Since there was a small occupancy in the hotel, the food is monotonous, there are few fruits and vegetables.

There are 2 a la carte restaurants: Italian and Arabic (I liked Arabic very much). In the afternoon you can have a bite of pizza and french fries. In general, you won't go hungry.

Hotel with a beautiful green area. It is compact and has 2 swimming pools, one of them with 3 slides. The exterior of the buildings has been renovated. Inside the rooms have old solid furniture. All the necessary accessories are in the rooms. Cleaning is done carefully every day. The beach is amazing!! ! I am a reef lover, but for Egyptian beaches, he impressed me.

The beach is amazing!! ! I am a reef lover, but for Egyptian beaches, he impressed me. A gentle entrance to the sea, the bottom to the buoys is well cleared of corals. If you swim behind the buoys in a mask, can you see the marine fauna? characteristically expressed from the inhabitants of the reef. This is not in abundance, but for a change it is unusual!!!
And the most important question that interests all tourists after covid is food !! ! There is no chic. Everything you need is there. Meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, sweets. Fresh, packaged juices - for a fee. Bottled water in bars is also free. The rooms bring 1.5 bottles for free. In bars, water in chilled containers is cold for free. AND ALSO juices (like Yupi), beer, coffee, Oll cocktails.
They work A la cards, they cook well. Fish for a fee.
The staff is very welcoming and friendly!
Will I return to this hotel again? Very likely!
As for protection against covid, staff in masks, disinfectants, there were masks and disinfectants in the room, food utensils were sealed. Measuring the daily temperature of vacationers.

We were picked up by a transfer from the airport, it took about 40 minutes to go to the hotel. When we arrived, almost immediately, we went to the reception and after filling out the questionnaires we were given the keys to the room and escorted to it with our suitcases. So number. Large, bright, clean, overlooking the garden.

So number. Large, bright, clean, overlooking the garden. the room was cleaned daily, towels were changed, the bed was made, water, coffee and tea were replenished. Our room had a balcony which was a big plus.
Nutrition. Well, here it is for 4, a very small selection, but at the same time quite tasty. Several types of meat and poultry, fish, fresh and fried vegetables, soups, cereals, pasta and rice, potatoes, mostly mashed potatoes. On the beach you could eat burgers and french fries.
The drinks. Ordinary Egyptian alcohol, as everywhere else, juices (reminiscent of yuppies from childhood), tea, coffee, milkshakes for children.
Beach. The beach is good, spacious and clean, the entrance to the water is gentle, also sandy without stones and shells, during our stay the water was about 23 degrees, you don’t swim much, but it’s not very cold either.
Staff. The guys try hard, they are very friendly, you can easily contact them with any questions and they immediately go to the rescue. we had a shower leak, called the reception, and after 5 minutes there was already a plumber who soon fixed everything. we also asked to call a taxi for a while, everything was done on time.

I am very happy with my trip! Despite the small weeks (and they are everywhere), I can say that this is a heavenly place. This is not my first time in Egypt, so there is something to compare. Upon arrival at the hotel we were quickly settled and led to the room (drive from the airport about an hour). First, a large and clean area, a beautiful beach with a very comfortable entrance to the sea.

First, a large and clean area, a beautiful beach with a very comfortable entrance to the sea. Spacious and clean rooms with everything you need.
On the other hand, I really want to pay attention to the staff. It's no secret that service in Egyptian middle-class hotels is lame, but not in this case. The staff is friendly, attentive and considerate, they respond to any request almost instantly.
As for the cuisine, the choice is average and everyone can find something for themselves, the food is delicious, by the way, the waiters always offered drinks and brought to the table.
I really miss the delicious coffee in Egypt, I decided to try it at the bar for 2 dollars, but I was surprised - what you need, try not to regret it.
I will be happy to turn around, keep Carribean world, I hope only to improve your level!
