Definitely it is one of our best vacation spot from many places we visited. No humidity, no mosquitoes, good service and good food. Staff was very friendly, helpful and trying to please in every turn. The beach is clean and sandy. The sea is slightly cool (it was early April) when you enter but very nice afterwards. The weather was between 76 -82 around the clock! Some areas of the building are showing their ages. But still well maintained. The food was plenty and very tasty. Attention to details was very noticeable. How can you beat such a place 🙏🐟👋🥰 We are planning to come again for sure!👍👍👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

The setting is magical. The hotel looks tired and needs refreshing. Management staff and housekeeping were excellent Restaurants staff, especially at breakfast, were not so good. They are under the impression that good service is being obsequious when they are actually ineffective.

I stayed in Sheraton Soma Bay 6 years ago and I was not impressed with the food and buffet. But this time its a totally different story. The buffet was fantastic and the service was amazing . Special thanks to the room attended Mohamed . Special thank you for Yasser "restaurants manager" he answered my questions . And most importantly to assistant Manager Monssef , he was very accommodating in all our requests. Mr. Monssef went over and above and made us feel welcomed .

I had a great experience about this hotel 3 years ago when I stayed there am not sure if management changed?! I recommended the hotel to my niece that was celebrating her honeymoon she just got married two weeks ago and that was my gift for her. I live in US and used my credit card for the payment I could easy dispute the charges however it is not my way. Unfortunately she complained about her stay and quality of the food even she complained to front desk who couldn’t help or at least offer to upgrade her room as kind of compensation . It is basic customer service. I thought it is better to write directly to the hotel instead of leaving bad reviews on trip advisor…etc looking forward to hear from the management

The design of the hotel is unique, in the form of a beautiful pharaonic temple, with a private beach. Hotel staff are very helpful and always smiling. Restaurant Abidos serves delicious meals. you have to book the All inclusive option as there aren't many option outside the hotel. The hotel was crowded with many local guests, and probably selling its rooms cheaper by far to accommodate employees of companies or unions, which is not an advantage at all for the rest of the guests coming from outside Egypt.

Not a 5 star!
The hotel is old yet clean. The rooms are basic with no toiletries except for shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner. The hotel is on z bay, the beach is beautiful and there are some corals nearby for snorkeling We were on half board basis. The open buffet breakfast was very good, dinner was quite bad as the food was mostly tasteless. All in all, not a 5 star hotel, maybe 3.5 at the most. Sheraton needs to do some major work if they want to sell this as a 5 star hotel.
