This was by far the most comfotable resort in terms of friendliness and relaxation we have visited in Egypt. One of the reasons for this was that all the staff were friendly and... More

I very liked my week stay here, it was very peaceful. The front desk guys were not very polite and helpful thought, not speaking of asking for baksis...Whole area is great, nice beach and pools. Only thing that started to be annoying was that food was the same all the time. Otherwise nice.

Just returned from Imperial Shams Abu Soma Resort. I am especially satisfied with the service and friendliness of the hotel and SPA staff. All inclusive was a good option. Food was delicious. Besides, the Mistral windsurfing centre is an outstanding one. An incredible experience, indeed. I will surely come back.

We enjoyed very much our stay in Shams Imperial. The price we got through booking.com was very good value. As an Egyptian, I phoned the a local travel agency and the hotel directly for normal Resident rates, which are supposedly less than foreigner rates, but found them actually forty percent more than on booking.com, so I did the reservation online...

Beach is soooo nice - wide, nice sand, close to reefs. Meals so good, different kinds, without any stomach problems. People working... More

I came here to book two weeks for June having stayed at their sister hotel the Shams (with equally rude bar staff on the beach). On both occasions I encountered incredibly rude staff. The receptionist put me off booking completely - couldn't quote me a room price and told me to check the website in a very dismissive manner. On... More
