The Solymar beach resort is not the most expensive resort in the Hurghada/Safaga area, but it’s also not the cheapest. Because of this, we were expecting it to be quite middle-of-the-range in terms of quality. At every turn, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted.
The staff were friendly and courteous - whether at the reception, in the restaurant, or walking past someone watering the grass, you are guaranteed a friendly greeting. Everyone is quick to know their customers - after just a day in our usual spot on the beach, Ahmed knew our usual order. The hyper-energetic Magic Entertainment team members were also quick to build rapport and make us feel included in the resort vibes.
We plunged immediately into extreme relaxation with a “honeymoon massage” at the spa, which included time in the dry and steam saunas, a special hammam exfoliation ritual on a heated marble slab, a full-body Dead Sea mud wrap, and an oil massage. The masseuses were talkative and playful - possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this seems to be the Egyptian way and certainly got me smiling and giggling along.
There is not a moment of the day when you might be at risk of going hungry. From the early breakfast in the main restaurant, to the late breakfast at the beach, to the drinks and snacks on offer throughout the day at the pool bar and restaurant, there is always a wide array of quality F&B choices. There is some variation from day -to-day options, and it’s always worth checking out the “fresh-from-the-grill” area to see what the day’s speciality may be. Part of the stay includes one complementary meal at one of the two a la carte restaurants (Italian/Egyptian) where the food is a level or two up from what’s served in the buffets. Go hungry - the Egyptian meal included a starter of hot and cold mezze, a soup, a main course and a dessert (with alternative plant-based and kiddies’ menus).
The resort has done a lot to ensure that it is eco friendly. Apart from the usual request to hang up towels to save water on unnecessary cleaning, they also purify their own water, which is left in your room in chilled glass bottles (it tastes a little weird, but it’s good for the planet).
Overall, highly recommend the Solymar resort.

A stunning new hotel with fairy-tale Arabian architecture — it truly feels like a palace. The service is exceptional: polite staff, spotless cleanliness, and housekeeping always on time.
Food: The à la carte Lebanese and Asian restaurants are incredibly delicious — and you can book them every single day. Snack bars serve generous made-to-order portions, and the Viennese café offers great coffee and desserts all day.
Beach: Beautiful soft sand with a gentle entry into the sea.
Cons: Pools aren't heated, so winter swimming is difficult. No wind protection on the beach. Not much to do with children.
Extra touch: We stayed 3 days — after checkout, they let us keep our bracelets and stay on the property until our flight.
Verdict: Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing and quiet place

The location and the beach at Sheraton Soma Bay are truly beautiful, and the welcome upon arrival was friendly and attentive. The property is well maintained, but overall it feels quite outdated and somewhat old-fashioned.
Unfortunately, we experienced several service and organizational issues during our stay. At the beach bar, we ordered a milkshake but were served a juice instead without being asked — we were later told there was an issue with the ice. Instead of informing us, the staff simply replaced the drink without consultation.
At dinner, incorrect dishes were brought to our table, and when we pointed it out, we were told the mistake was due to our ordering. One evening, a staff member pressured us to pay immediately and insisted on accompanying us to the reception to clarify the charge, even though we explained that we wanted to charge it to the room. At reception, we were told that charging to the room was perfectly fine. At check-out, we also discovered that one dinner had been charged twice. In addition, our room key stopped working several times on the day of departure — even though we had paid extra for a late check-out.
The food and beverage offering is disappointing. The selection is very limited, especially for non-all-inclusive guests, with very few healthy options. The bar menus — both at the beach bar and the main bar — are closer to snack-bar level than to a hotel of this category. All-inclusive wine is served from cartons, and plastic water bottles are placed on the dinner tables. At breakfast, fresh juices often ran out quickly and were not refilled.
The restaurant is frequently overcrowded, making it difficult to find a table. Compared to other hotels in Soma Bay, this property offers noticeably less atmosphere, entertainment, and overall quality.
In Conclusion: Beautiful location and beach, but service, organization, and overall standards unfortunately do not meet expectations for a hotel in this category. There are clearly better alternatives in Soma Bay.

I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights for my partner’s birthday. From the time I got there the hotel was very helpful with giving us a upgraded room and then going further to decorate the room/bed with heart pillows and pillow doves. They also provided a birthday cake twice on the day we arrived and on her birthday which we couldn’t be anymore thank you. I want to give a big shoutout to Mohammed the room cleaner, everyday was a surprise coming back into the bedroom he would decorate the room/bed with towels making different animals etc. Food buffet was really nice also had ice cream. ( I would say the hotel should make it so guest can get scoops for ice cream during the day not only for dinner) you get ice cream during the day but it’s ice cream lollipops etc. animation team was really good always involving everyone, want to say a shoutout to all the animation team especially mo salah, high energy and kept everyone very entertained. The beach is sandy! The photos don’t do it justice as the photos I saw online shows it to be stone beach with a bit of sand. The WiFi is good for a hotel which can be used on the beach. We was able to get a sun bed everyday by the many pools and beach. Nothing to fault this hotel was really amazing! (That’s coming from someone who only stays at high quality hotels).

Отдыхали в начале марта 2025. Концепция отеля очень понравилась, невысокие домики в марокканском стиле, вокруг очень красивый ландшафт (видно, что люди уделяют этому внимание), пляж достаточно большой с мягким песочком и хорошим заходом в воду. Персонал очень дружелюбный, отзывчивый. Ребята аниматоры молодцы, очень стараются развлекать гостей. 1 отель в Египете , который мне попался, где есть томатный сок)
Атмосфера релакса, особенно вечером у бассейна. Еда хорошая, но мы были не в сезон, думаю, что когда 100% заселение в ресторане и баре будут очереди, так по размерам они не оч большие. Отель к посещению рекомендовал бы на 90% людям которые хотят тихого, комфортного отдыха.

PART 1! please, check on the other ones after for full review
Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada – A 5-Star Resort That Feels Like 2 or 3 (depending on the topic). Before booking Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada, we did our research—watched videos, checked reviews, and set our expectations accordingly. Listed as a 5-star hotel on Google and TripAdvisor, we expected a premium experience. However, once we arrived, we quickly realized that the reality fell far short of the rating.
1. The “All-Inclusive” That Isn’t Quite All-Inclusive
The hotel advertises six restaurants, but the all-inclusive package only grants access to three—and even that comes with strict limitations. You must stay at least five nights to even qualify for reservations; otherwise, the buffet is your only guaranteed option. But even if you meet the criteria, getting a reservation is a struggle, and once inside, you’re pushed to pay extra for items outside the package. The upselling is relentless, from premium wines to certain dishes, turning what should be a relaxing meal into a sales pitch. Oh, and if you were hoping for fresh juice with breakfast? Extra charge.
2. Facilities: Decent, But Not 5-Star Worthy
✔ The pool, beach area, and lounge are well-maintained.
✔ Bars are available all day, and staff work hard to keep areas clean.
✖ Some rooms show clear signs of neglect, making this feel nowhere near a true 5-star hotel.
If this hotel were truly 5-star, there wouldn’t be visible maintenance issues, questionable service, and inconsistent quality across the board.

A vista da lagoa é apenas para diversão. A chamada lagoa é apenas uma pequena bolha, e a varanda está bloqueada por uma árvore à distância. Como outros comentários, há um certo grau de discriminação, mas a maioria do pessoal. são bastante amigáveis. Eu queria gastar mais dinheiro para atualizar a vista para o mar, mas o que eles nos mostraram era apenas uma bolha de água um pouco maior. A equipe me disse que este já era o melhor quarto com vista para o mar. A piscina abriu muito tarde e fechou muito rapidamente, se você quiser ir para o exterior, este hotel é completamente desnecessário. dei uma gorjeta de um dólar pela nossa bagagem e nossa atitude foi boa Outro casal viajando conosco Minha atitude foi muito ruim quando recebi 10 libras egípcias quando não tive troco. Recomenda-se pagar mais para escolher um hotel com tudo incluído melhor ou um hotel com tudo incluído comum. Se você quiser economizar dinheiro ou ir para o exterior, quer economizar Se estiver em um hotel, basta escolher um hotel barato? na cidade. Não é conveniente viajar para cá. Finalmente, quando fizemos o check-out, o pessoal foi muito simpático. Quando ele viu que estávamos carregando nossa bagagem, eles continuaram se desculpando comigo. eles vieram aqui e me disseram que deveriam providenciar um ônibus para nos buscar. Os funcionários da praia e da piscina também foram muito simpáticos. O mar estava muito perigoso depois que o sol se pôs, e brincou que haveria tubarões. O pessoal da piscina me disse pacientemente que a piscina estava fechada e precisava ser desinfetada, o que machucaria meus olhos. vale o preço.

A casa de banho na sala é muito grande, e o fluxo de água também é muito forte.É muito conveniente limpar a areia depois de ir para o mar.A comida no hotel é muito melhor do que a celebridade da Internet Castle Hotel e Sunrise Hotel. Fiquei nos próximos dias! ! ! Mas o preço é apenas metade do deles, e há muitas piscinas, muito mais que as outras duas lojas. Há também uma piscina de ondas Exceto o ambiente de hotel e restaurante, que não é tão bonito quanto o Castle Hotel. para fotos, todo o resto é muito bom. O pessoal é muito entusiasmado e nada discriminatório, muito amigável com o povo chinês, o restaurante do hotel que exige reserva é um pouco problemático, então só comi no restaurante buffet, que. tem mais tipos de refeições que o hotel castelo! Ótimo valor ao dinheiro! ! !

Este foi o pior quarto da minha viagem. O quarto em que fiquei era recém-pintado e era irritante e inadequado para habitação humana. Comuniquei-me com a equipe da recepção e pedi para mudar de quarto. A equipe da recepção se recusou a mudar de quarto e apenas providenciei para que a equipe usasse ambientador. Pulverizar no quarto, isso não é um disfarce, só posso manter a porta aberta a noite toda e bloquear a porta com mesas e cadeiras. Você não pode imaginar que passei um tempo inimaginável noite aqui😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭 😭😭

Lovely hotel ,3 pools …pool with slides, Kids pool and then another family area with pool.
We had to move rooms as we had no hot water … but they moved us no problem.
The outside areas are lovely … bars around the pools … the only suggestion would be to have nibbles and also ice has to be available … the beach bar no ice at all again this is a no brainer.
The food needs overhauling by a chef … hot food generally not hot enough. No chips for kids .. no burgers … the menu needs changing and the cooks need training from a chef
The quality of the food needs a lot of improvement… many guests not happy one said it was a culinary catastrophe, a lot started eating out.
When you get there you are given a coloured wrist band and the staff will see you are a new arrival.
I saw new arrival guests get approached by on site staff selling , massages,nail and beauty makeovers,trips,and ice creams … as many as 5 approaches in 10 minutes.
In 5* hotels these people are at stations around the hotel and when guests are ready they go to these stations .. they don’t get hounded …the massage guy approached me 3-4 times a day.
Some of the trips need vetting
The service was ok and all the staff was friendly … the animation team need new outfits .. I couldn’t really see what they did to be fair .. no games to get people involved.
Overall it was a nice stay .. but there is a lot to work on .. I hope they will see this honest review and make changes … it could be a 4-5* but it will
only be a 3* if they don’t make changes
