"The staff was amazing especially Abd El Hamid from housekeeping and Abd El Baset ( one of the chefs; he had Falafel prepared especially for me At breakfast), beach staff were brilliant. All staff were professional, friendly, helpful, smiley. Sea water was stunning, I had a sailing catamaran course with Mohamed Shaaban who was a genius. Thank you to all the staff and will definitely go back."
"Poolbereich vor dem Hoteleingang zugehörig zu einem
anderen Block. Hauptpoolbereich ärmlich, bezugslos zum Hotelumfeld. Keine Begrünung nur Rasenflächen.
Nett gestalteter Bereich der Bar "Rooftop" als auch Innenhof. Essen entsprach in keinster Weise einem 5 Sternehotel - mittelmäßig - satt wird man. Speiseraum gleicht einer Kantine - laut. Zugang zum Strand abenteuerlich und baden nur über den Steg. Leider ist die alteingessene Tauchbasis mit dem herzlich Charakter nicht mehr vorhanden.

"When you get to your room do an inspection, head to the main lobby and give them a list of items to clean /fix.
Service is great, they just need guidance on cleaning
The reef and cabana area more than makes up the room issue. Unbelievable snorkeling - I am a week swimmer and loved it.
Hope it does not turn into a resort like the complex next door. A true beach bums paradise for spending your day - wake up snorkle, eat, snorkle , lie around, eat, snorkle, lie around, eat, snorkle , head to...
"Mon séjour dans cet hôtel a été une véritable déception. Dès mon arrivée, j’ai dû attendre 8 heures avant d’obtenir ma chambre, ce qui est inacceptable après un long voyage. Une fois dans la chambre, la mauvaise surprise a continué : l’eau était coupée, le lavabo n’était même pas correctement fixé et bougeait à chaque utilisation.
L’hôtel était en pleins travaux, rendant l’ambiance bruyante et désagréable, sans aucun espace de repos au calme. De plus, contrairement à ce qui était annoncé, aucun...
"My recent stay at the Mövenpick Waterpark Resort & Spa Soma Bay was a huge disappointment and a complete waste of money. I was drawn in by the hotel's reputation, but the reality is that the entire experience is undermined by poor management and incredibly bad customer service ' The bad experience continued with the food. For a 5-star hotel, the quality and variety were shocking and repetitive, often tasting poor. When we tried to reserve a table at one of the dinner restaurants, they were...
"Enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property- the hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. Both check-in and check-out were extremely smooth and easy. The apartment was clean, comfortable and equipped with several convenient amenities. Finally, there were several little touches that went above and beyond including a lovely welcome fruit basket and information about the surrounding area. "

Pristine beaches and world-class diving sites make Soma Bay a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Book a kitesurfing lesson at the 7Bft Kite House or snorkel among vibrant coral reefs when morning visibility is best.
"Just got back from a 5 night stay at Steigenberger Ras Soma and it was amazing! Felt like pure luxury and staff were all so accommodating and very friendly. The restaurants at this hotel serve really good fresh food. Note you have to make reservation 1-2 days in advance otherwise they’re fully booked but I would recommend doing this as the food is much better than the buffet dinner. The buffet for breakfast was really nice though serving fresh omelettes, pancakes, pastries and more. The private beach is incredible, there’s always space and the water is so blue and clear! There’s also an aqua centre on the beach so you can book activities like snorkelling and wind surfing. We can’t wait to come back! "
"Second time here. The (multiple!) main restaurant food is good. Not spectacular, The a la carte restaurants excellent.
We went here for the kids. 5 aquapark areas. 2 for very little kids; one right up at the top of Bluemarine (2 flumes + some smaller slides), the other one down near the beach (some slides). These are suitable for infants and of little interest to my (strong swimmer) 6 year old. There are then 3 other parks. One in Bluemarine with 5 flumes, another on the left of the beach with 6 larger flumes, including a inflatable ring flume, then the main inflatable ring park with inflatable 3 ring flumes. 120cm height limit posted on all of them which seemed fair, but in true Egyptian style, theres a tape across the rulers at 130cm. My 6 year old is 125cm and was only put up against the ruler once but after reassurance from me that he could swim was allowed to ride Again, smaller kids in arm bands were being allowed on, take 120cm as the limit though.
Pools were great, lots of them, all quite shallow and great for playing with the kids. One pool reserved for adults.
We did walk out over the sand to snorkel a few times along the reef. And theres a new pier being constructed right now to facilitate this more which will probably be a couple of months in construction. You can get a bitnof snorkeling in, but its a 10 minute walk and then a bit of a swim to get to the interesting reef.
We used the on-site, Egypt lnternational for snorkeling trips and diving trips. "
