TripAdvisor Review
Imperial Shams Abu Soma – an unforgettable experience!

We arrived at the hotel after midnight, and the staff welcomed us with dinner already prepared — a gesture that set the tone for the entire stay.

Accommodation: Large, spacious, and impeccably clean rooms, with a generous terrace and a private jacuzzi. Daily bottled water, soft drinks in the fridge (Coke, Fanta, Sprite), a Nespresso machine with coffee, tea, sugar, and a kettle. In the bathroom, a full set of toiletries: shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.

Food: The cuisine was tasty and caused no stomach issues — perhaps not extremely varied, but with enough options for every taste. Desserts were rich and good, fresh fruit daily, a variety of salads, and fluffy rolls.

Pools & relaxation: A big plus was having separate pools — one quiet, with no music and no children, ideal for relaxing, and a separate one with activities and music for those looking for fun. The spa, massages, gym, and diving center were all top-notch. The hotel is also disability-friendly, with ramps and a dedicated pontoon.

Service: The staff were extremely kind and always eager to make you feel good. It also happened to be my birthday during this stay, and the hotel surprised me with a free cake, brought to the table by three waiters who sang "Happy Birthday" in Arabic — a truly touching moment! We were assured the ice is made from bottled water, not tap water, and the hotel has an ATM, a jewelry shop, a perfumery, and a souvenir shop on site. Beach: Immaculate, with fine sand, sun loungers with mattresses, and dividers for privacy and wind protection. The only downside: the sea is not deep for quite a long stretch, so you need to swim past the rope set up by the hotel to actually reach swimming depth.

The air conditioning in the rooms is a ventilation-type unit with a wall thermostat, and it's a bit noisy.

Conclusion: We've been to Egypt before, but this stay was, without a doubt, the best one yet. We will definitely be back!
