The Solymar beach resort is not the most expensive resort in the Hurghada/Safaga area, but it’s also not the cheapest. Because of this, we were expecting it to be quite middle-of-the-range in terms of quality. At every turn, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted. The staff were friendly and courteous - whether at the reception, in the restaurant, or walking past someone watering the grass, you are guaranteed a friendly greeting. Everyone is quick to know their customers - after just a day in our usual spot on the beach, Ahmed knew our usual order. The hyper-energetic Magic Entertainment team members were also quick to build rapport and make us feel included in the resort vibes. We plunged immediately into extreme relaxation with a “honeymoon massage” at the spa, which included time in the dry and steam saunas, a special hammam exfoliation ritual on a heated marble slab, a full-body Dead Sea mud wrap, and an oil massage. The masseuses were talkative and playful - possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this seems to be the Egyptian way and certainly got me smiling and giggling along. There is not a moment of the day when you might be at risk of going hungry. From the early breakfast in the main restaurant, to the late breakfast at the beach, to the drinks and snacks on offer throughout the day at the pool bar and restaurant, there is always a wide array of quality F&B choices. There is some variation from day -to-day options, and it’s always worth checking out the “fresh-from-the-grill” area to see what the day’s speciality may be. Part of the stay includes one complementary meal at one of the two a la carte restaurants (Italian/Egyptian) where the food is a level or two up from what’s served in the buffets. Go hungry - the Egyptian meal included a starter of hot and cold mezze, a soup, a main course and a dessert (with alternative plant-based and kiddies’ menus). The resort has done a lot to ensure that it is eco friendly. Apart from the usual request to hang up towels to save water on unnecessary cleaning, they also purify their own water, which is left in your room in chilled glass bottles (it tastes a little weird, but it’s good for the planet). Overall, highly recommend the Solymar resort.

”Fantastic Stay with Amazing Food, Entertainment, and Friendly Staff!” I recently stayed at this hotel, and it exceeded my expectations. The food - delicious with a wide variety of options every day, catering to all tastes. The pool area was stunning, always clean and inviting, with plenty of space to relax and soak up the sun. Drinks were also good. The hotel’s program was fun and entertainment! There were activities for all ages throughout the day, from sports and games to shows in the evening, keeping everyone engaged and entertained. The animation team was incredible—full of energy, friendly, and always going out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. Especially Jackson. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable holiday!

On our first trip to Egypt, we stayed 7 nights in this hotel after mid-October 2024. Although we requested at the reservation to Jeka to have rooms next to each other and not facing the grill or the outdoor AC units, we received both rooms above the grills, where in each in the evening they smoked us. In the first day we change th e rooms and received a room with a balcony on the other side of the hotel and one without a balcony about 15 meters away from the grill. The wind blew through the window of the room without a balcony, no matter how well you closed the window. Also, by the sea, having rooms without a balcony where you can dry your bathing suits or wake up and stay in the morning to drink a coffee is something unheard of for us. Apart from these problems, the hotel is clean, the rooms are cleaned and the sheets are changed every day. In the room you had 2 bottles of 0.5 liters of flat water, a kettle, 2 empty mugs and bags with tea and coffee (sugar, coffee cream). There was little plain water because, attention, we were brushing our teeth with plain water, not with the water from the sink, but we filled the bottles at the beach from the cans. At the hotel there is a pharmacy where you can find Antinal syrup for children for about 8-9 euros or a pack of 24 capsules (10 euros) for adults in case you have stomach problems. Those there recommend taking 2 pills a day as a precaution or 4 pills if diarrhea has set in. But we had no problems. Also in the hotel is an ORARIS MARKET store with all kinds of products, glasses, souvenirs, cola, chips, beach toys for children, etc. The owner is also the one who sells and his name is ADAM and he is very kind and nice. You can negotiate with him and he makes you convenient prices for both parties. At the hotel's main restaurant, you could find fish, chicken, fruit salads and many other different dishes every day. You couldn't help but find something you liked, but they didn't have fries, which my kids really like. You asked the waiters and they served you with cola, white, rosé or red wine and beer. At your discretion you had water, apple and orange juice, coffee and teas. One day I found a moldy bun that I gave to the manager and I recommended that he check all the buns so that there are no more. The managers walked among the tables and put the waiters to work, you never saw one sit down. As soon as you left the table, they immediately cleaned the table, and when you entered the restaurant, the managers asked you how many people there were and led you to the right table. I found fries at the restaurant at the water park (slides) and at the restaurant on the beach where we used to eat for lunch. At the restaurant at the slides there is a Chef named Roger (very *******) who once brought us cold food for all of us because he didn't want to bring us pizza, pasta, burger or potatoes in turn as they were ready. Several people had discussions with him on this topic and because they forgot to bring somethi
