Caribbean World Resort Soma Bay

“Rooms, services, restaurants, beach, staff and entertainment”

We got a spacious room with one double bed and two single beds in building number 1 with a garden view.

We got a spacious room with one double bed and two single beds in building number 1 with a garden view. The kind Karem offered us an exchange if we didn't like the room, but we liked the position, close to restaurants, shops, reception and all other evening events in the arena and not far from the beach. The furniture is not very new, but everything is clean and the maids clean regularly and do a good job. The main restaurant is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The food was varied, buffet-style, and I believe that no one went hungry because there was plenty of food. Chef Abdo really made an effort for us to enjoy eating the best and freshest food. On his recommendation, we went to the Italian a la carte restaurant called Gazebo, where the manager of the restaurant, Muhammad, welcomed us with a big smile and open arms. The food we ordered was a true refreshment for our senses. There is also a Tortuga restaurant on the beach, the selection of food is smaller, but the quality is the same. From there, I would single out the wonderful chef Ahmed and kind Jamal with his recommendations for best dessert. There is also a Cuba bar on the beach if you want to refresh yourself with something or to have a snack if you are not very hungry. We were often served there by always smiling bartender Abdo and others whose names I couldn't remember. There is also a Coco Loco bar on the beach where you can drink tasty freshly squeezed juices and you will be served by the most energetic guy in the world, known as FreshFresh. 😁 The beach is the best place to have fun and enjoy your vacation. Water is super clear and beach is also clean. Ahmed, lifeguard, is there to watch after everyone, and even though he doesn't speak English it's very easy to communicate with him. If you want to experience the Red Sea properly, you should go diving, the diving center is also on the beach. It's the best experience you will bring back home after vacation. Last and most important, animation team! They will inform you about everything you should know, about any activity in the resort. And also they will do everything to ensure that your vacation is not boring at all. There's stretching in the morning with Mariyam, Zumba, Aqua gym, belly dance, volleyball, step aerobic a lot of laughing and fun with lovely and friendly staff like Kojak, Mody or Yahya. Every day there's something in the theater so you will see or be part of the show. And in the evening all of them together with others from animation team will dance with you on the beach party. Everything was really smooth and easy because of their energy and dedication. Thank you guys, you are the best! ❤️

Overall, a typical Egyptian 5-star experience where you have to review all the pros and cons of the place and see if where the scale tilts in the end is favorable for you or not. The advantages are obviously a huge and well-maintained beach, enormous and very instagrammable sun shades, nice sea entry. The garden is amazing, I wish I could tip the workers there! Rooms are spacious, and the whole architecture style of the hotel has a bit of a colonial and romantic flair, albeit a bit dated. Rooms cleaned every day, the place is pretty clean. People are friendly, stuff relatively helpful, reception quite efficient. The food is ok. Repetitive, predictable, it is pretty obvious the management is trying to cut costs with food, and this is a real setback. You do expect seasonal fruit in a greater variety, for example, and a little bit more choice when it comes to main dishes. Do not get me wrong, you will be getting fish, meat, veggies and poultry every day, but mostly those are gonna be kind of the same from day to day. On Fridays the choice will be more interesting. I think they are really working on the menu. It is getting better. What needs a revamp is the furniture everywhere and the rooms. The hotel is obviously tired. Our room type was changed at check in without any reason. They do not allow private drivers in without an Uber order and suggest you take their transfer to the entry gate (about 1km, a 2 min drive) for €5. Never used it, always walked. One reception manager FEIGNED calling the gate about my driver, which was outrageous. Travelling BACK doesn’t require anything, but you and your bracelets The canteen area might get crowded from time to time. Not all dishes or glasses are washed clean. If the territory and the beach are paramount, you will get by with everything else. In general I would not call my experience totally positive, but I am happy enough about my stay and experiences, especially taking into account relatively low pricing. Definitely a nice place to stay with kids and a value for money place. Not a 5 star experience, but an Egyptian all inclusive.

“Not a 5 * hotel”

A big resort. Reception area is beautiful. But the rooms are not a 5* at all. Need a lots of upgrade. We stayed in a family foom near the reception and restaurant area. The beach was about 200m from our room. A lot of swimming pools and 2 kids small pools. We didn’t go on the slides or toboggans. … more

A big resort. Reception area is beautiful. But the rooms are not a 5* at all. Need a lots of upgrade. We stayed in a family foom near the reception and restaurant area. The beach was about 200m from our room. A lot of swimming pools and 2 kids small pools. We didn’t go on the slides or toboggans. There is a playground as well. The gardens around the resort were beautiful! The animation team was brilliant. Great shows and a mini disco every night. Very busy crowd at dinner time.
