“NOT A HOLIDAY RESORT!!!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Have just returned from this hotel. We have never been to Red Sea Egypt so only booked a week. We decided to stay here based on the reviews posted on this site.
The reception spectacular. Check in not. Not taken to our rooms just pointed by the staff and as we were not staying in the main building found it a little bit difficult to find in the dark.
The room O.K Beds rock hard and found the beach beds more comfortable
Main buffet restaurant standard as buffets go and very busy. Staff very friendly.
Greek restaurant only open at lunch time but food good.
Itailan standard piza and pasta.
Lebenise good. The best restaurant by far Asian excellant.
Very little entertainment at night.
This hotel has a conference and business centre and the influx of Egyptian business men plus their wifes and children who come along for a jolly for 3 or 4 days made it difficult to relax and enjoy our experience.
We felt this hotel was more suitable for the Commercial/Business sector rather than the holiday maker. It also falls below a 5* I would rate it a 4* having travelled and stayed in 5* hotels it lacks the personal touch.

“Ab Fab.”

Just returned after 2 weeks, nothing to complain about. Everything is top notch, food, staff, accomodation, beach. 4 superb a la carte restaurants to chose from, and all in the A.I. package. No restrictions on food or drink. One problem regarding visiting Egyptian families which was very swiftly resolved by the excellent managment team. Just have to mention Hassan, Siv, Mohamed, and Mena. Their humourous personalities were a breath of fresh air. Cannot wait to return, may be to a Junior suite next time!! Room 1423.

Room Tip: Try to get an even numbered room as these get better sun.

Just back from our holiday to Palm Royale Soma Bay, this was without a doubt the best time we spent in Hurghada. All was absolutely faultless, staff, food, drink, service, cleanliness, etc….EVERYTHING.
Every one of the staff we met welcomed us like we the most important guests in Egypt…they made us fell we are unique. Real princes and princesses.
Thank you for those magic moments. So sorry the vacation had to end. We’ll be back soon.
Go there you will not be disappointed.
