Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay

We have been going to the Kempinski at Somabay regularly for six years. In addition to a great ambiance and an endless beach for walking, the staff is especially impressive. We already met Albert in 2020. Back then he was a waiter in service, and because of the mask we only recognized him later. Today he is the service manager and has remained true to his polite, reserved manner, which he always aligns with the guest's satisfaction, always in a positive mood and with an open ear. New to the service team this year, we have come to know and appreciate A. Atef. He impresses with his dynamic, energetic manner in dealing with the guests. He is always in motion, keeps an eye on everything, reacts quickly, and wants to hear that everything is okay; then he is satisfied. These are just two names; we could name several more, but these two stood out during our last visit in October 2026.

"A wonderful hotel where we felt completely at home from the very first minute! The food was simply outstanding and the entire staff welcomed us so warmly that we felt like part of the family. We will definitely be very happy to come back!"

This was our 9th stay at Kempinski Soma Bay hotel, and for the past 8 consecutive summers we haven’t missed a single vacation at Kempinski Soma Bay. It has truly become our family’s summer home, especially for our kids, who feel completely at home every time we return. Everything is exceptional, but what makes this place truly special is the staff. Every member of the team welcomes us with genuine warmth and makes us feel like part of the Kempinski family. A special thank you to Chef Fathy and Chef Mahmoud for the outstanding cuisine and consistently exceptional dining experience. Our heartfelt thanks also go to Omar who greets us with a friendly smile everytime at the View. Bassem and his love to our kids, Mohamed Abdelsalam and Albert for their professionalism in handling all situations. and Sayed (by the beach). Samir who cooked for us amazing steaks and Mr. Sayed Abdel rasoul who always greet us with warm smiles and such genuine kindness. And to Sami and Atta at the pool and beach—your care, attentiveness, and hospitality are a big part of why we look forward to coming back year after year. Kempinski Soma Bay is, without a doubt, our favorite destination in Egypt. From the breathtaking Red Sea beach to the peaceful atmosphere and the incredible team, every detail makes our stay unforgettable. Thank you all for making every visit so memorable. Your dedication and passion never go unnoticed, and we can’t wait to be back again. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.

I stayed at Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay last weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation we had. This wasn’t just a beautiful hotel, it was a place where every member of the team truly understood what genuine hospitality means. From the very first phone call, the experience was exceptional. Ms. Engy from the reservations team made me feel incredibly welcome, patiently listened to all my requests, and reassured me that everything would be taken care of. Before our arrival, Mr. Ahmed Abdelhady also followed up via email and confirmed that all the preferences we had shared in the pre-arrival survey would be arranged, and they absolutely were. When we arrived, we were welcomed by a warm, friendly, and professional front desk team. Walking into our room was such a lovely surprise, again arranged by Mr. Ahmed – it had been beautifully decorated for my birthday, making the celebration feel even more special. They had also thoughtfully assigned us a room away from any noise, exactly as requested, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. The dining experience was another highlight. The breakfast and dinner buffets were far beyond what we expected from an open buffet. The quality of the food was excellent, with an impressive variety of dishes catering to every taste, including plenty of vegetarian options. It was clear that the hotel puts real thought into accommodating different dietary preferences. We also loved the Beach Bar, which served delicious lunch options in a beautiful beachfront setting. The beach itself is simply stunning; soft sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and even coral reefs nearby for those who enjoy snorkeling. Whether you’re looking for a quiet adults-only beach area or facilities for families with children, including pools and a lazy river, the hotel offers something for everyone. What truly makes Kempinski Soma Bay stand out, however, is its people. Every interaction we had reflected professionalism, kindness, and a genuine desire to make our stay memorable. A heartfelt thank you to: * Ms. Nourhan at Reception, who was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always eager to help. * Mr. Natei Fathi at the main restaurant, whose professionalism and attentive service made every meal a pleasure. * Mr. Mostafa El Saghir from Housekeeping, who kept our room spotless throughout our stay and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find a hotel where every department consistently delivers such a high standard of service. Kempinski Soma Bay truly deserves its five-star reputation, not only because of its beautiful facilities but because of the outstanding people behind them. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so memorable. We left with wonderful memories, and we’re already planning to return again later this month. We can’t wait to be back!

Thank you to the Kempinski Soma Bay team and management for another truly exceptional stay. Your team’s professionalism, genuine hospitality, and meticulous attention to detail create an outstanding experience at every corner of the hotel. From the seamless check-in to the pristine beach and breathtaking sea views, every moment was memorable. The spectacular house reef was the highlight of the stay, offering an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Thank you once again for consistently delivering world-class service. I look forward to returning soon. Thank you Atta, Omar, Waleed and Nour. Special thanks to Mahmoud mattar to make it special again this year

This hotel is absolutely breathtaking. Everything is clean, well maintained, and the beach is beautiful and spotless. What truly makes this hotel special is the amazing staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and always friendly. A very special thank you to Captain Ahmed Atef, who was always attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly. His excellent service and warm personality made our stay even more enjoyable. I can highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

The Kempinski Hotel is very enjoyable. The atmosphere here is amazing, and the room service was excellent, thanks to Mohamed Gamal.

We’ve been coming here for the past three years, and it’s always one of our favorite places to stay. This time we stayed for 3 nights in a Garden View Room. The room was very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. One thing this hotel consistently does well is hospitality the little details really make a difference, and the staff are always so welcoming and helpful. The food wasn’t as good as we remembered this time, but the restaurant team really made up for it. A special thank you to Sharara and Omar, who were incredibly attentive, friendly, and always happy to help throughout our stay. The only downside was the room itself. While it was comfortable, I personally wouldn’t choose the same room again as I know there are better rooms at the hotel from previous visits. Overall, we still had a lovely stay and will definitely be back.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely perfect. The service was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly polite, professional, and welcoming—especially Ahmed Sharara and Omar.

A great experience, and the perfect place for taking your mind off of things and services are generally good

If you want a wide room and luxury hotel with very delicious food and kind people around you kempinski is the choice

Mostafa and Hamed are very nice.

Excellent stay at Kempinski Soma Bay. The service, facilities and overall atmosphere were outstanding. A special thank you to the Laguna Lounge staff — Abdel Fattah, Moustapha, Dawood and Wael — for their exceptional hospitality. Please keep doing what you do; it made our stay truly memorable. And of course, a big thank you to Jimmy, who took excellent care of our room throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel and hope to return again soon.

Azzom and ashkaf(H.K team) are really nice!

We would absolutely give this 3rd stay 200%. From the very first moment, it was not just a hotel stay, but a true feeling of arriving: relaxing, switching off, and being cared for from start to finish. ♥️ A special thank you to Jinmy from Housekeeping, who made our stay wonderfully relaxing — with water placed beside the bed and coffee capsules refilled without being asked, after we had spent a longer afternoon just chilling in the room. These thoughtful little details make all the difference. Wael, Fatima, Ahmed, and the entire Laguna Club team were consistently warm, professional, and on an incomparable level of hospitality. The check-in experience, as well as the Ladies in Red, Hannah and Ariane, also made us feel genuinely welcome from the very beginning. We travel a lot and have stayed in many luxury hotels, most recently Regnum Carya and Crown in Antalya, but Kempinski Soma Bay simply feels like coming home. It is the kind of place where you can truly unwind and feel pampered from start to finish. What touched us most was that the team did not just remember us, but also lovingly decorated our room for our anniversary. Last year, in May, the proposal happened here, and in June came our honeymoon — so this place holds a very special meaning for us.🥲♥️ We are honestly a little embarrassed that we cannot even name everyone personally here (especially life guards and lovely team from the sultan bar), because so many wonderful people contributed to this experience.🥺 There is simply no reason for any complaint — only gratitude.🙏♥️ Thank you all so much. We have already booked July, and that says everything.
