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

Transport from and too the airport is much too expensive if booked through the hotel (EUR 90,-)

The beach is a few minutes walking and very nice. It is a sandy beach. The water is crystal clear. Employees are professional, friendly and accommodating. The night shows they had at night were amazing including a belly dance show and a Brazilian dance show. The animation team is fun and everyday there were several activities. The buffet had a lot of variety. Some of the dishes were spectacular (some of the best we ever had at a buffet) including the fresh bread and the bbq meats which were available everyday. The aqua park is a few minutes walking and is cute and super fun for families.

Some of the dishes in the buffet weren’t that good including the small cakes. We also thought hygiene wasn’t top notch but this could be due to being peak season when we visited. We also had a communication issue with booking.com and the hotel regarding the price which was frustrating but booking.com sorted it out. We recommend you verify the confirmation email you receive when booking to know the exact price and don’t just depend on the booking.com application.

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

Construction work during the stay, generating continuous noise. Very few animations, but the location close by natural animation does the job

Room & value for money - pricing in early May made it very affordable to get a beautiful sea-view suite on the 3rd floor. Beach - nice, peaceful and beautiful. Food - buffet breakfast and dinner were both very complete.

Resort vibe - definitely family and couple-oriented, not very suitable for singles or groups of friends. Not a problem at all, but just one thing to keep in mind. Location - significantly more remote than - for example - options in Hurghada. It's the reason why I booked it, but just something to keep in mind if you plan on moving around the area/out of the resort often. Cocktail selection - improvable, or perhaps can be made more visible to guests.

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 only problem we had was that the hotel has no non-smoking policy. A dedicated smoking area on the beach would be great. We couldn't enjoy the sea breeze most of the time, as there is always someone smoking nearby. The same goes for dinner. Sitting inside is too hot, and outside - one can't enjoy the delicious meals sometimes because of the smokers. The neighbours and/or staff smoking even woke us up at 6 am a few times, as our room was full of cigarette smell (we like having fresh air while sleeping and keep the window open at night). The air conditioning is quite loud, but cools the room very efficiently.

We had an unforgettable family holiday at Sheraton Soma Bay Resort – a true gem on the Red Sea. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was peaceful, the beach breathtaking, and the service simply outstanding. A special thank you to the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Mariam, the Front Office Manager, whose warm welcome and professionalism set the tone for our experience. Also, a big thank you to Ms. Taghreed, the Front Office In-Charge, for her kind support and attention to every detail throughout our stay. You both made us feel truly valued, and your hospitality didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks again to the Sheraton Soma Bay family – we’ll definitely be coming back!

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!

Add some shuttle buses, or offer more car hire (golf carts), by which I mean more time slots, and more reasonable prices.

The location is heavenly. We feel in love with the bay and enjoyed our walks in the sand and swimming in the crystal clear water. The hotel is huge and very impressive. You'll feel like you're royalty in a glamorous pharaonic palace. The rooms have just been renovated and are very modern and well equipped. The bedding was very comfortable We only had breakfast, the food was great and the buffet offered everything. The restaurant had a great view on the beach

The animation team's party every evening was loud, at a time where we wanted to enjoy peace and quiet in the balcony. I was disappointed when I tried to upgrade my stay to half board, the price difference was exaggerated in my opinion

- Amazing Location in the beautiful Somabay - Dinner and breakfast food quality is very good with many options - Staff are welcoming and trying to help - We were offered an upgrade at a discounted rate to make our stay more convenient

- Big part of the hotel is under renovation which limited the use of the hotel facilities for us - Managing the questions about the room number can be improved, we kept saying the room number for the staff 10 times a day. a bracelet can be a good option to avoid the inconvenience

Wonderful. Clean, extremely comfortable beds, friendly staff. Due to renovation the facilities like gym and lobby are limited. Fantastic beach. Boat tours/ snorkeling trip overpriced in the area but easy to book from other organizers through booking.com and no problem with transport to Hurghada if needed. Low season and not very many restaurants open but enough. Good variety at breakfast.
