Palm Royale Resort Soma Bay (ex.Sentido Palm Royale)

This hotel is an absolute dream! ✨ The staff are incredible, the all-inclusive food is delicious (you HAVE to try their restaurants!), and the lobby is stunning. The beach is pristine with no stones or coral, and they even made my birthday extra special. I highly recommend booking your stay here! 🏨🏖️🎂 #Hotel #Staff #Food #Restaurants #Lobby #Beach #Birthday #Recommendation

First time visiting, and I truly look forward to my next visit already! The staff couldn't be more professional or kinder, the place has everything you may need, and goes even beyond that. Whether it's the activities, events, cuisines served, you will find something for you. I would highly recommend visiting whether you're with family, friends, or even travelling solo.

The hotel is located approximately 40 minutes from the airport. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. We were welcomed with refreshing drinks and enjoyed a smooth and efficient check-in process. Once we received our wristbands, we were immediately able to make use of the all-inclusive facilities. After taking a short tour of the hotel, exploring the beautiful gardens and beach, and enjoying lunch, our room was ready. At my request, I was allocated a room in a quieter part of the resort, away from the animation programme and main pool area, with a lovely sea view. It was the perfect location for guests seeking peace and tranquillity. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a renovated bathroom equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a hairdryer. The room also featured individually controlled air conditioning. The minibar contained two fruit juices, one Coca-Cola, one Sprite, and two bottles of water. Everything was replenished daily and included within the all-inclusive package. Not far from my accommodation was the aptly named Peace Bay – a quiet beach area where there is no music, making it ideal for relaxation. The second beach area serves as the main family beach, with a gentle slope into the sea that is perfect for children. Both beaches are spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Close to Peace Bay there is a beach bar, two toilet facilities, and a towel station where guests can collect and exchange towels using the cards provided on arrival (be sure to keep the cards safe). The beach bar serves a variety of drinks, coffee, cocktails, and ice cream at designated times throughout the day. Full details of the all-inclusive programme are available via the QR code provided at reception. Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort, including the rooms and beach areas, and the connection was consistently excellent. All drinking water provided within the hotel is bottled. A wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, and cappuccino is available from several bars around the resort, each operating during scheduled opening hours. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the main restaurant. I genuinely cannot imagine anyone leaving hungry. The variety and quality of food were outstanding, with an extensive selection of main courses, desserts, and fresh fruit. There is also a dedicated Adults Only dining section within the restaurant. Perhaps this area could be expanded during the busiest part of the season, but that is only a personal observation. There is a separate station for pizza and pasta lovers, and all dishes were continuously replenished throughout service. At no point did we encounter a situation where an item available at the beginning of a meal was no longer available later. During meals, guests can enjoy both included beverages and premium drinks available at an additional charge. The spa facilities include an adults-only relaxation pool, sauna, and jacuzzi, while treatments such as massages and the salt room are available for an extra fee. I stayed in room 3226, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the housekeeping staff member responsible for its upkeep. Everything was always spotless. He was friendly, discreet, professional, and always available when needed. The colleague responsible for replenishing the minibar also deserves recognition for his excellent service. The person who made the strongest impression at Peace Bay was Mr Mohamed, who worked at the towel station and as a lifeguard. He speaks excellent English, is always smiling, regularly interacts with guests, and ensures that everything on the beach runs smoothly. He consistently checked whether guests were comfortable and whether they needed anything. In my opinion, management should consider keeping staff members such as Mohamed in their established positions, as guests often develop trust and rapport with the beach team. My group was genuinely disappointed when Mohamed was transferred to another section of the beach. Peace Bay simply did not feel the same afterwards. Mohamed, thank you for your kindness and professionalism. We wish you every success and happiness in the future. The beach staff work incredibly hard and deserve great praise for their dedication and service. Management might also consider adding another team member to assist at the beach bar during busy periods. Those employees truly deserve recognition. The beach toilets were maintained to an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness. Anyone familiar with public facilities will understand that this is not solely dependent on the staff but also on the behaviour of guests, making their achievement even more commendable. The central bar near reception provided fast, efficient, and high-quality service. It was a wonderful place to relax in the evening while enjoying the gentle background music. The Guest Relations team also deserves special mention. The two ladies working there were warm, professional, approachable, and always willing to assist with any information or requests. Dear Valina and colleague, thank you very much for your kindness and support throughout our stay. The hotel also offers four à la carte restaurants, which can be visited with advance reservation. Full details are available from Guest Relations or Reception. Finally, I would like to thank every member of staff at the hotel. My holiday was exactly as I had hoped and imagined it would be.

I would like to praise the excellent tennis and padel coach Ayman Sayed from the Palm Royal Hotel, who was there at every moment of our game and improved our form with useful advice and showing moves

The only reason I wont give full 5 stars, is the room AC that was too cold and cannot be adjusted. The cafeteria AC was also not the best. Everything else was excellent: animation team. Food was great, room was spacious and staff were awesome. Special thanks to: - Hanan the waffle/crepe lady. She filled our morning with smiles. - Hassan: lifeguard at the pool, very friendly and kind - Antar: beach security went the extra mile to help us retrieve our stuff - Abd el wahab: cafeteria. Very friendly and caring - Hakim at the front desk: very professional and helpful.

At the beginning of this month, a group of visually impaired guests from our organization, the Bihor Association of the Blind (Asociația Nevăzătorilor Bihor - Romania), stayed at Palm Royale Resort Soma Bay. We had an absolutely wonderful time and cannot praise this hotel enough! The accommodations were excellent, the food was delicious with a great variety, and both the beach and the sea were stunning. However, what truly made our stay unforgettable was the outstanding staff. They deserve a 10/10 rating! Every single team member went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group felt comfortable, safe, and fully included in all the resort had to offer. Thank you, Palm Royale Soma Bay, for your incredible hospitality, warmth, and genuine care. You proved that barriers disappear when there is kindness. We highly recommend this resort to everyone!

My family and I have been travelling to this hotel since I was a child. Now I am 24 and we still love this place. There are many things to do (including water sports). Highly recommended for a family vacation!

Our boat trip was truly the highlight of our vacation! We visited three beautiful locations—two for snorkeling and one with crystal-clear water that was perfect for swimming. Everything was well organized, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. The lunch was delicious as well—fresh fish with rice, and honestly, it was the tastiest meal we had during our entire vacation. What made this experience even more special was our guide, Adel. He is an excellent swimmer and an even better person—kind, patient, friendly, and incredibly helpful. I am not a confident swimmer, and he made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the snorkeling experience. I was traveling with my husband and our 4-year-old son, and Adel was wonderful with our little boy too. He also took amazing photos and videos for us, giving us beautiful memories to take home. We are truly grateful for such a fantastic day filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an amazing experience, and if you’re lucky enough to have Adel as your guide, you’re in great hands!

I had a very pleasant few days here. The room had a cozy atmosphere and was always clean. I also enjoyed the breakfast simple, fresh, and a good start to the morning.

I visited Egypt for the first time, and based on a recommendation, we chose this hotel. It turned out to be an excellent choice, and I am very happy we stayed here. From the moment we arrived, we felt amazing. The hotel was beautiful and spotless, and the service was outstanding. We looked forward to every meal each day – everything was delicious, fresh, and the restaurant staff were always kind, friendly, and helpful. The room we received was a huge bonus. It had a lovely garden view and a large terrace – room number 1023. :-) Our room attendant was George, who provided excellent service and kept our room perfectly clean from day one. Special praise and thanks to George! The sea was beautiful and calm, and there were no significant low tides. All these details came together perfectly and made our holiday exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you very much for everything. We would be delighted to come back again! Sabina

Our family of five spent a week at Palm Royale Soma Bay, and honestly, we had a wonderful stay from beginning to end. The resort is beautiful, very clean and incredibly well looked after. Our rooms were spacious, comfortable and surprisingly quiet, with lovely sea and garden views. Even the room service was fun – we loved coming back to find different towel creations waiting for us each day. There was plenty of choice at the main restaurant, and we especially enjoyed the seafood, fish, Egyptian dishes and desserts. A big thank you to Semyon Semyonych, the manager of the main restaurant. He greeted guests warmly every day and was always attentive. We also appreciated how seriously dietary requirements and special requests were taken and how smoothly everything was managed. We would also like to thank Katerina, who was always kind and helpful. Whether we had questions about the restaurants, different cuisines or simply needed to know who to speak to, she was always happy to point us in the right direction. And of course, a very special thank you to Abu Raslan at the Aqua Centre. Thanks to him, our family enjoyed some amazing excursions. We saw dolphins and turtles, took a private family snorkelling trip and visited a beautiful island. With Abu Raslan, we had some truly unforgettable days during our holiday. Thank you to everyone at Palm Royale Soma Bay for such a lovely holiday. We are already planning to return next year.

Perfect, the beach, food ,personal,cleaning room..we dont come twice in same place,but here...

We stayed in June, had a lovely chilled relaxing break. Hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the lobby entrance is breathtaking, the whole hotel is spotlessly clean throughout. Our room was beautiful, modern and clean thanks to our housekeeper who was fantastic, the views from the room were of the sea and the pool so we had best of both worlds. The food here is lovely, we didn’t eat much in buffet sorry so can’t really comment, but azure bar and al a carte were amazing. The staff at Azure bar were all really chatty and helpful,Hanny always looked after us, also Ahmed the chef there always came and spoke to us after each meals checking that we had enjoyed our food he had prepared,thank you guys at Azure bar. We ate in all speciality restaurants except Lebanese. So we ate at the Asian Greek and Italian, all were exceptional every time, along with the staff in waiting on us. We enjoyed our stay and this is due to the staff which I believe made our stay extra special. Thank you guys.

Pleasant experience overall. Rooms quite spacious and functional. Buffet has lots of varieties of food and each night is served different food -thematic. Beach is nice as well as sea. There was no many people occupying pool areas so beach was full and if you want to get a sunbed you have to get up really early. Night program and shows were good. Overall good value for the money 💰.

We are here at the moment and expectations of advertising and actually what it is like here . We are comparing this to the desert rose which we stayed in February but no comparison. So far food not great , you will always find something to eat but have to go outside for one thing and in for others so something always ends up cold by the time you get to sit and eat. Beach is heaving so no chance of getting down there unless you get up at stupid o clock to put towels out . Food in the azure bar i wouldn't feed to a dog , burgers cold and other food just inedible. By pool is crowded with work going on everywhere , they are draining a lake or something but the noise is horrendous 😑 noise of mowers and noisy staff who only help you as long as you give a big tip . Room is lovely and comfortable beds and to be honest is the most peaceful place to be at the moment 😌 this is no way a 5 star and up to now very disappointed 😢 will update as we go through our time here .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Place We Keep Coming Back To After three trips to Hurghada and stays in several different resorts, we can finally say that we have found the place we want to return to year after year. We spent 10 nights and 12 wonderful days at Palm Royale Resort Soma Bay, and from the moment we arrived until the day we left, we felt welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for. The resort itself is beautiful. The rooms are comfortable, the entire property is exceptionally well maintained, and the beach is simply stunning – one of the most beautiful we have experienced in Egypt. The atmosphere is peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what a perfect vacation should be. However, what truly makes this resort special is its people. A heartfelt thank you to Ahmed Ibrahim, one of the bartenders, whose attentiveness impressed us every single day. By the third day, he already remembered our favorite drinks and greeted us with a smile, asking if we would like "the usual." Small gestures like this make guests feel truly special and appreciated. We would also like to thank Yousria Reda, who welcomed and greeted us every day in the restaurant with a sincere smile. Her positive energy and kindness leave a lasting impression on every guest she meets. A special thank you goes to Malak Farag, Assistant F&B Manager, whose professionalism, kindness, and dedication to guests deserve the highest praise. His warmth and willingness to help made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our entire stay. We would also like to express our gratitude to Valida, the representative of our travel agency, who is always cheerful, smiling, and ready to help. Her kindness, positive attitude, and genuine care for guests made us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout our holiday. People like her are a true asset to any travel experience and leave a lasting impression. You can have a beautiful beach, luxurious rooms, and a perfectly maintained resort, but it is the people who create the memories. The people of Palm Royale Resort are the reason we keep coming back. What impressed us most was that the hospitality never felt forced. Every smile, every helping hand, and every conversation felt sincere. The people working at Palm Royale do not simply do their jobs – they create an atmosphere that makes you feel at home. At the end of our stay, it did not feel like we were leaving a hotel. It felt like we were saying goodbye to people who had made our vacation truly unforgettable. Thank you for the wonderful memories. We arrived as guests and left with the feeling that we had found our place in Hurghada. The greatest compliment we can give is that we are coming back. After three visits to Hurghada and many wonderful experiences, Palm Royale has become the resort by which we measure all others. In fact, we are already returning this year at the same time and cannot wait to enjoy that beautiful beach, the wonderful atmosphere, and the amazing people who made our stay so special. Some hotels give you a room. Some give you a vacation. Only a few give you memories that make you count the days until you return. Palm Royale Resort Soma Bay is one of those rare places. ❤️ See you again soon! Tijana

Great place, very welcoming and helpful staff ! Relationship is important and makes you feel at home and seen. Great if you want to windsurf at the nearby surf station „surf motion“- walking by food easily possible. Charming hotel with feeling of „old colonial days“ but renovated rooms where needed. I was there a bit off season, maybe too crowded in season for my tast. In June it was ok.

I was there a bit off season, maybe too crowded in season for my tast. In June it was ok.

I went to Soma Bay for a week in late May 2026. I wanted to refresh my windsurfing skills, which had been idle since the 90s. I chose to rent equipment from Surfmotion, and then decided that it would be easiest to stay at the hotel most nearby - Royal Palm Resort. So I arrived with few expectations. I was there to windsurf, not to have a typical sun holiday. But after one week, I was sad to leave. Not only for the fantastic windsurfing location, but for a really great time at the resort. It is 24h full comfort, and I think most of all, only smiles and courteous behavior from all of the staff. You feel very welcome and well-treated as a guest! There is a wide variety of food at the buffet for breakfast, lunch and evening. I like healthy food, and there was always plenty of salads, fruits and fulfilling meat and pasta. Beer and drinks, provided in all inclusive, made my trip less healthy, but highly enjoyable after a day on the water. The room we booked was big, and overlooked the bay where the surfers and kiters were. A nice way to wake up. There is only a 5-10 minute walk from restaurant of the hotel to Surfmotion, so no rush after breakfast, and no rush to go back for lunch if you should think that it’s more important than time on water. The hotel has a gym with plenty of machines and weights. Also, there are good hard-court tennis courts. Bring your own racket if you are a serious player.

Wonderful experience! The hotel is situated in paradise beach. The rooms, service, food, everything was excellent. The animation is not very loud so you can get rested properly. The people who work there are so nice. We will definitely come back!

The atmosphere is great, calm, never crowded because the resort is so big, the beach is beautiful, lot of privacy everywhere. Security in the hotel is high level. Staff is very polite, professional and at service all the time. Food is amazing. Everything is nice and clean, very classy vibe everywhere. There is so much fun things to do beside swimming and enjoying the beach. Definitely planning to go again next year 😎
