The hotel is very large, imposing has a vast amount of room and is totally isolated. That said it could have been the ideal 'away from it all' holiday, had we and the majority of other guests not been struck down with severe Gastroenteritis.

We were led to believe by the Hotel Doctor and Mark Warner staff alike that we were the only ...

Hotel:
Great place for soaking the sun and the sea. Well managed with really pleasant and helpful staff. I think it is the greenest of all the resorts in Hurghada. Spacious rooms - great lay out such that almost all rooms have great sea views and balcony. Lying in bed watching the night-lights across the bay, or waking up watching the turquoise ...

We went on a Mark Warner holiday, mainly for recreational kitesurfing. We got a great late deal, took own kit out. The hotel was really nice, however incomplete in parts especially the many ponds around the complex.
Biggest negatives were the ridiculously expensive drinks/bar food. It was commented on by all guests. No water supplied so everyone ...

Visited Abu Somer and really enjoyed the holiday with plenty of activities to fill the day. My children really enjoyed the activities and the nannies were fantastic and very friendly and made the children's holiday. Food could have been better and to a higher standard (this is a 5* complex after all). I felt that the childcare staff though ...

we went to Abu Soma in August and had the most wonderful holiday. The hotel is beautiful, the staff very friendly hotel and Mark Warner alike.The food at the start of the holiday was pretty average but improved as the fortnight went on.

Went on a Mark Warner Holiday to InterContinental Abu Soma. Before heading out to Abu Soma a read up about the resort and the review were not that good!

I would just like to say that we had a wonderful time out in Egypt. The food at the Hotel was top quality and the service was excellent.

I can't forget to mension the Mark Warner Staff ...

loved the hotel found it very clean
while the restaurant staff are very helpful there also slow and forgetful
food excellent omletts cooked to perfection
couldnt afford to drink at nights as drinks were very very expensive that would put me off going back reccomend buying drinks before you get there
tennis courts were being resurfaced the week we went so dissapointed at that .

This is an extremely luxurious hotel but has no entertainment, no activities and is situated in the desert well away from any signs of life and is 50kms from Hurghada approx GBP 12.00 one way for a cab which takes an hour - so you are tied to paying extortionate prices like GBP 2.00 for a bottle of water or a can of coke and GBP 3.00 for a bottle ...
