Mark Warner holiday but aspects that we loved had little to do with MW as staff were very hard to get hold of. Resort is massive with impressive decoration in lobby. Beach was superb with fantastic staff. A swim in the sea keeps one cool almost the whole day. Very clean and refreshing water. We regret that taxis and even... more

We have returned from a week at Abu Soma in July 09 as a family with boys 17 and 13 yrs, great flight, very chatty and informative pilot on the Viking flight. Hotel was wonderful , comfortable acomodation, great service, superb food, hotel reception hall like a film set.........Air con that worked, attentive but not intrusive staff.

This was our family summer holiday, having been on one MW holiday before. We booked at the last minute and went for a junior suite. 5 hour flight from G'wick, 45 min transfer from local airport to hotel. Hotel is shared with other non-MW residents, mainly Egyptians, German & Russians and is an enormous complex, situated along the shore front... more

Having read some of the reviews of the hotel, I was very apprehensive about my first Mark Warner holiday, but how wrong can some of these people be? From the minute I stepped off the plan to the minute I left, I was in great hands with Tory and the Mark Warner team at the hotel. The childcare was fantastic,... more

If you pay Mark Warner prices you can't expect 5 star service and facilities, and we didn't get either in our one week stay in July. The hotel doesn't deserve 5 star status, but it is perfectly serviceable. The rooms are large and functional, the outdoor facilities are good enough to keep an energetic family occupied for a week, and... more

We traveled with Mark Warner and stayed in a panoramic suite. The room was huge, but the furniture was heavy and old fashioned. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. This I really didn't like as it was a long trip (40 minutes) to get into the centre of Hurghada. We found the restaurants disappointing. The buffet restaurant had... more

We have just returned from a week in this hotel, It is palatial and we would love to go back--However, unless we could be certain that the management can address the very severe health issues for our somewhat delicate digestive systems then we could not book again. Intercontinental management TAKE NOTE- There is a problem somewhere, you are letting down... more

There is little more that can be said for the Abu Soma. The hotel, resort grounds, and sea views are pleasing on the eye. The hotel staff are friendly and do their best to provide a good service. The coldness of the swimming pool is a challenge but a welcome relief from the 40C heat. The rooms are big and... more

We went with 2 friends to the resort for one week in June. We hadn't experienced a Mark Warner holiday before but went recommended. Charter flight - Viking Airlines, very basic, no food provided on flights so buy some bits from the airport both ends! Hotel & Grounds - Facilities very good, large pools & lovely beach, very quiet when... more
