Eagle Paradise Soma Bay

When we booked this holiday, I hadn’t read many reviews. Only after booking the hotel did I start reading them, and honestly, I became a bit worried and even wanted to cancel. However, I’m so happy that we didn’t. The hotel and atmosphere are very nice. The rooms are always clean, and the staff are genuinely kind — you don’t need to tip them for them to be nice to you. They are making improvements every single day, such as changing beach beds and updating things in the rooms and bathrooms. The entertainment team is really impressive. They have great communication skills, are friendly, and always happy to have small talks if you want to chat. The shows performed by the entertainment team are really enjoyable. I especially loved the dances they did at 10am and 3pm — it was so fun and energetic! Regarding the food, breakfast is usually the same every day, but there are plenty of options. There is a chef making eggs fresh for you, and you can ask for an omelette, baked eggs, or scrambled eggs — completely up to you. Lunch and dinner are always different. For those who have allergies or cannot eat certain foods, please note that there are no signs explaining what ingredients are included in the dishes. You will need to inform the reception team or the chefs, and they will be more than happy to help you. Just to add, during our two-week stay we did not experience any food poisoning or stomach issues. Also, there are people walking around the beach trying to sell horse rides, camel rides, and other activities. They can be a bit annoying at times, but it’s their job, and sometimes they don’t take “no” for an answer and may ask multiple times a day. The rooms are very close to the beach, and there are signs along the walkways so you won’t get lost. If you ever need help, you can always ask the hotel staff — they are always happy to assist. One negative thing I noticed (which is not the hotel’s fault) is that many guests reserve beach beds with towels early in the morning and then don’t come back until much later, sometimes after lunch. That can be quite frustrating. During our first days, we were introduced to a company called MDS (I believe that was the name). They help with booking excursions, but please note that their prices are higher. You can find the same excursions cheaper elsewhere — we used getyourguide.com⁠�. As a “welcome gift,” they offered two free supermarket trips, but please note that these are not actually supermarkets. One is a souvenir shop and the other is a perfume shop. We believe they may be connected to friends or partners of the company, but we can’t say for sure. Overall, I truly recommend this hotel. It is budget-friendly, and you will definitely have a lovely holiday here. If you are booking this hotel, I wish you a wonderful stay — don’t forget to bring a smile and lots of sunscreen!
