We traveled with Mark Warner and stayed in a panoramic suite. The room was huge, but the furniture was heavy and old fashioned. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. This I really didn't like as it was a long trip (40 minutes) to get into the centre of Hurghada. We found the restaurants disappointing. The buffet restaurant had... more

We have just returned from a week in this hotel, It is palatial and we would love to go back--However, unless we could be certain that the management can address the very severe health issues for our somewhat delicate digestive systems then we could not book again. Intercontinental management TAKE NOTE- There is a problem somewhere, you are letting down... more

when we reached the hotel the first impression was ruined by the unhelpful staff ,the hotel service is the worst ever ,please don't go to this hotel, we suffered from the rude staff till the end of our stay . more

There is little more that can be said for the Abu Soma. The hotel, resort grounds, and sea views are pleasing on the eye. The hotel staff are friendly and do their best to provide a good service. The coldness of the swimming pool is a challenge but a welcome relief from the 40C heat. The rooms are big and... more

We went with 2 friends to the resort for one week in June. We hadn't experienced a Mark Warner holiday before but went recommended.

Hotel & Grounds - Facilities very good, large pools & lovely beach, very quiet when... more

Clearly some people have been very unlucky with their experiences of this hotel (my family included). Some have been luckier or have lower standards. 5 star should mean 5 star. This hotel is by no means 5 star. Hot water and cleanliness are essential in even basic hotels. We had no hot water for half our holiday and the place... more

Hotel building was great and the rooms were nice and clean. The food was buffet style but it was good and tasty not always hot though. The hotel was full and it was difficult to find a table outside and the atmosphere in the main restaurant was a bit like school dinner time. Every night we had to listen to... more

This is just a review to try and balance the poor reviews that are logged on this site. Firstly I would add that we did read the reviews before we travelled (and after we booked) and I emailed Mark Warner (with who we travelled) to get some sort of clarity on the remarks that had been posted ont he sire.... more
