Great hotel to go to with or without kids. We loved this hotel as a couple years ago, but it was also fantastic now with our son. The staff is super friendly and our son Alex was treated so lovely by the waiters at the pool restaurant, the beach & pool team. The kids club team and especially Maryam always tried to include him and give him a great time. Great Babysitting service for kids under three as well. Rooms very clean. Good food & variety. Beuatiful beach.

The service is super excellent. A casual conversation about crabs with Eid, one of the dining staff, ended up the next day with a specially cooked grilled crab dinner. This is how considerate the staff members are!! Definitely coming back.

Exceptional experience from start to finish. Everything is so well thought out. Our resort view room was located in building 3. We loved it as it was very peaceful and a lovely stroll to breakfast, the pools and the beach. The room had all the amenities we needed and housekeeping did a fantastic job every day. Thank-you Mohammad! Breakfast was a daily treat that we looked forward to each morning and again, the staff were amazing here. Food quality was superb as was the choice. Thank-you to Nancy, Hassan, Gamal and the rest of the team. The pool and beach teams were brilliant. They took such good care of us and the facilities were excellent. We loved our time relaxing on the lazy river and enjoying some quiet time at the adult only pool and spa. Big thank-you to Ahmed who looked after us on our last day. The security and maintenance teams also do a brilliant job. We ate at the View restaurant which we loved for the choice and quality. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at the Bamboo Shoot for our last night. The food was some of the best we’ve had. Would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a luxury stay in Soma Bay. We ventured into Hurghada once but there’s plenty at the resort to do with lots of trips and watersports. We loved the snorkelling trips put on by Smile aqua tours in partnership with Kempinski. We will definitely be back, a massive thank-you to the whole Kempinski team for a truly wonderful holiday

All the staff are extremely well trained, kind and helpful. In particular I would like to single out some gentlemen which went above and beyond in their service: - At breakfast and dinner, our waiters Gamal and Eid. - The bellman Fouad. - At the reception desk, Maged and Mohamed - By the pool, Diaa - By the beach, Atta and Eslam Of course, the whole management team deserve our thanks. In particular Mr Hesham Duty Manager and Mr Pascal Guest Relations who both made sure our experience was special. The food on offer at Kempinski was unbelievable. Both buffet and a la carte options were ridiculous in their variety and extremely good value. Friday night was a particularly pleasurable experience with my favourite Egyptian food at the dinner buffet. This was an all-adult family trip and we had a wonderful time celebrating 2 birthdays. We all cannot wait to return for any occasion and have even started looking at dates/prices for next month!
