Booked this hotel as it was advertised as 5 star, what we found when we arrived was 1 star. Travelled with a friend on the 13 th Feb 12 arrived late afternoon to see a hotel which was nothing like what had been described. Our room was shabby and smelly and in desperate need of some TLC, we went straight... More

Boooked and paid for 5 star but we would rate it only as 3 star. First impressions in foyer are good then I'm afraid its downhill all the way. Shabby furnishings need replacing, never had a hot meal all week, continuously running out of wine which wasn't available at pool or beach bar, but spirits were, wheres the logic?. Also... More

I’m normally quite sceptical of some reviews on here but in the case of Sol Y Mar they turned out to be true. I spent a week here at the end of February and wasn’t expecting too much in the way of luxury as it obviously isn’t the most expensive hotel in the area but the building itself was fine.... More

first time in egypt, the hotel was advertised 5* which by egyption standards is. The staff are friendly, obliging and very hard working and whatever they can do for you they will. The food was in abundance, you will never starve if you go there, but some of the tourists thought that every meal may be their last so it... More

The food is awful, every day there is pretty much the same things to choose from, mainly rice and chicken which looks like... More
