The Solymar beach resort is not the most expensive resort in the Hurghada/Safaga area, but it’s also not the cheapest. Because of this, we were expecting it to be quite middle-of-the-range in terms of quality. At every turn, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted.
The staff were friendly and courteous - whether at the reception, in the restaurant, or walking past someone watering the grass, you are guaranteed a friendly greeting. Everyone is quick to know their customers - after just a day in our usual spot on the beach, Ahmed knew our usual order. The hyper-energetic Magic Entertainment team members were also quick to build rapport and make us feel included in the resort vibes.
We plunged immediately into extreme relaxation with a “honeymoon massage” at the spa, which included time in the dry and steam saunas, a special hammam exfoliation ritual on a heated marble slab, a full-body Dead Sea mud wrap, and an oil massage. The masseuses were talkative and playful - possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this seems to be the Egyptian way and certainly got me smiling and giggling along.
There is not a moment of the day when you might be at risk of going hungry. From the early breakfast in the main restaurant, to the late breakfast at the beach, to the drinks and snacks on offer throughout the day at the pool bar and restaurant, there is always a wide array of quality F&B choices. There is some variation from day -to-day options, and it’s always worth checking out the “fresh-from-the-grill” area to see what the day’s speciality may be. Part of the stay includes one complementary meal at one of the two a la carte restaurants (Italian/Egyptian) where the food is a level or two up from what’s served in the buffets. Go hungry - the Egyptian meal included a starter of hot and cold mezze, a soup, a main course and a dessert (with alternative plant-based and kiddies’ menus).
The resort has done a lot to ensure that it is eco friendly. Apart from the usual request to hang up towels to save water on unnecessary cleaning, they also purify their own water, which is left in your room in chilled glass bottles (it tastes a little weird, but it’s good for the planet).
Overall, highly recommend the Solymar resort.

Desha91This is my second visit to Rixos magawesh , one of the greatest resorts in red sea , my first visit was in 2022 and now after 4 years, I can say the amenities became more enjoyable, great landscapes all over the resort , spacious rooms and suites. The beach is so nice , the pools are great but needs more activities .. the food quality is good , Dinner is perfect but breakfast could be better .. the only thing I don’t like about the place is the standard of service not the standards I used to with Rixos group , is Rixos premium seagate in sharm was perfect but here I felt with the new expansion in magawesh , the guests are too much for the capacity of the place and the staff .. shuttle bus waiting time was annoying and needs to be improved. Over all it was a good vacation , and this resort with some care to service quality could be the best resort on the red sea .

Guest UserThere's not much to say, it's just that you get what you pay for. It's very comfortable and relaxing, you can enjoy it without even leaving the hotel. I'd like to stay here again.

The hotel environment is great, the rooms are very clean, and the staff are enthusiastic and helpful with luggage. The restaurant offers a good variety of dishes, and the taste is decent! It's also very convenient to get to the beach. We were on a self-driving trip and really loved the Red Sea. We'll definitely come again!

Everything was amazing during our stay at Mercure Hotel.The beach, dinner, bars , shows everything. But especially the people work in there were so so nice. Especially the people in reception I am sorry I forgot the names and the bartender Ahmad in the main pool. Thank you very much for everything and definitely see you next year!!!

泄湖景完全是來搞笑的,所謂泄湖就是個小水泡,陽臺中間還隔着一段距離和樹擋着,跟其他評論一樣,存在一定的歧視,但是大部份工作人員還是挺友善的,雖然這本來就是他們應該做的。中間想加錢升級海景,帶我們去看的也還是一個稍微大一點的水泡而已,工作人員告訴我這已經是最好的海景房了,最後並沒有升級,泳池開放時間特別晚關閉時間卻很早,如果要出海這家酒店完全沒必要,吃的甚至不如國內100塊錢人民幣的自助餐,基本都靠吃麪包吃飽的,我們拿行李小費給了一美金態度還可以,同行的另一對沒有零錢了給了10埃磅態度就很差,對於一家五星級酒店這種事不應該發生,還是建議加錢選擇更好的全包酒店,或者普通的全包,想省錢或者出海沒有時間在酒店那就市區選擇一家便宜的就好了,這邊出行也並不方便,最後,我們check out的時候工作人員態度非常好,忘記問他的名字了,當看到我們自己拿行李過來了一直在向我道歉,告訴我他們應該安排擺渡車過來接我們的,海邊和泳池邊工作人員也很好,太陽下山後我們想去游泳,海邊的工作人員告訴我太陽下山後海里很危險,並且開玩笑説會有鯊魚,泳池邊的工作人員很耐心的告訴我泳池關閉了,要消毒,會傷眼睛,總的來説,真的不值這個價

We had a disappointing experience using Uber while trying to go to Senzo Mall, which is actually very close to the hotel. The price shown in the app was 1 pound, but the driver asked for 5 pounds instead. This made us feel uncomfortable and sadly felt like we were being taken advantage of.
Because of this, we decided not to proceed and instead booked a taxi directly through the hotel. Although the price was 4 pounds, it felt much safer, clearer, and more reliable.
For other travelers, we would recommend using the hotel’s taxi service for peace of mind, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.
As a small suggestion, it would be great if the hotel could consider providing a shuttle bus service for guests to travel around nearby places such as Senzo Mall, which would make getting around even more convenient and comfortable.

ЕFor the third time at this hotel. and every time pleasantly surprise. Despite the fact that the old hotel was always cleaned, the main restaurant was cleaned. They cook deliciously ... especially delicious beef and fish. Variously. Cleaning every day. drinking water in the room. the beach is clean, clean. Nice and polite staff.
For 3 *** it’s quite worthy ... and I know what I'm writing about.
If you need relaxation inexpensively, you can safely book

Five-star review! The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the front desk service was warm and attentive. The location is convenient and soundproofed. I will choose this hotel again next time!
The stay exceeded expectations! The room was spotless, the bathroom had a wet/dry separation, and the hot water was consistent. Service was prompt, housekeeping was timely, and it was convenient for getting around and finding food nearby. It was quiet and I slept well. Highly recommended!
Excellent value for money! Check-in was efficient and quick. The room was spacious and bright, with complete facilities and stable internet. It was quiet and not noisy, perfect for business trips.
Great location, close to attractions/commercial areas, making travel super convenient. The room was clean and cozy, the service was thoughtful and attentive, and breakfast was plentiful. Overall, it was comfortable and pleasant, a top choice for travel!
