Reviews
I’ve stayed here more than once, and every single visit has been absolutely excellent — both the standard of the rooms and the service are consistently top-notch.
During my stay I had an issue with the guide from an organized tour, and the hotel manager handled everything quickly, professionally, and with a smile. Truly outstanding service.
The hotel itself offers plenty of attractions, fantastic themed restaurants, and lots of small details that make every stay memorable.
Highly, highly recommended — even if I’m risking making it harder for myself to book again!
At the reception the girl always says, “I have e very nice room for you”, but in reality all the rooms are old and nothing special.
The food is good and there is enough choice. Most of the staff is friendly. Giving some tip money helps here and there.
The food was not my favorite, but it is about every person taste and preference. The cleaning service in the room can be improved. I warmly recommend this place for families and for people which want to enjoy quiet and luxury places.
First of all, special thanks to Mr. Hakim on reception who made my stay more than awesome.
Form the first step on the hotel you can obviously see the elegance around you and every thing is clean as you wish.
I booked a garden view room and I get a club room as you can see in photos.
The food in the main restaurant Stella is really delicious and fresh .
They celebrate my birthday at the Greek A La Cart restaurant for free .
The best sandy beach on Red Sea in Egypt , which makes you enjoy your day .
Active Animation team maks your time on beach or at the night party wonderful.
Finally, special thanks to the very friendly staff of all departments of the resort and the secret Heros " the GARDENERS " whom cares about every meter of the wonderful garden .
Don't forget to visit the Health Club to discover SPA and Jakuzzi .
Hope I don't forget any thing.
Many thanks Palm Royale Resort - Soma Bay
