Eagles Paradise Abu Soma Resort

Beach: Very nice. Sandy swallow water. Staff: Nice, they don't disturb. Food: breakfast repetitive. Lunch dinner: salads ,desert same, variety of main dishes, as fish, and meat. Overall Good. Room: old room (131) with broken door andctails, bed was very comfortable and very quite at the night. Cleaners: they cleaned properly, but they didn't trust I will give them tips, and they stole 20$ from my girlfriend s bag. I didn't report it. The hotel hasn't any responsibility on that as there's safe. Bar: Joseph is a great bartender, very helpful. Overall: nice holiday. I recommend it..I will return

have just returned from Eagles Pardise Abu Soma resort, and thought it was amazing. The staff are brilliant, you can just walk a few yards to the beach from your room, the beach is lovely and fairly safe as theres a cordoned off area with a lifeguard that gently shelves which would be great for children and non-swimmers. There were plenty of shaded loungers - even though people do the usual beach towel thing ! (which there is clear signage on the beach asking people not to do). I saw turtles and some quite big fish underwater when snorkelling. I liked the food, and the desserts and lovely bread were the best bits for me. Unfortunately, one thing soured the experience for me. My wife wanted to look at the spa and see what was on offer, so she checked at reception. Rather than a leaflet or price list being produced, the receptionist went to fetch the man from the spa, who proceeded to do the hard sell and recommended all sorts of things that my wife and daughter on reflection didnt really want. The price reached 180 dollars, but at some point this became pounds, and on paying in Egyptian pounds it became slightly more again. In the end my wife paid £184 for something that she wasnt really looking for. When I found out, I was so angry that I wanted to speak to the man in the spa - however, my wife begged me not to as she didn't want an unpleasant situation that would spoil the holiday, particularly when she was about to have what I imagine is a fairly 'intimate' experience of massage and skin treatments. I suppose it can be argued that my wife should have been more assertive - however, my wife is not good in these situations and doesnt want to offend people. Also, I think that when you're on holiday and having a relaxing time, and everyone is being so friendly, that your defences are down a bit. I understand that the spa is a separate business to the hotel, but I think any business operating within the hotel complex does reflect on the hotel, which presumably does also benefit in some way financially from having the spa in their grounds. I suspect the man who did the hard sell probably felt he had done well and been very clever ripping off another 'wealthy customer' who could probably afford it. However, my wife is adamant that she would not go back to Egypt, so whereas an individual business may have gained considerably on this occasion, it doesnt help the tourist industry in Hurghada overall.

Where do I start??? This is not an all inclusive hotel!!! From day one we have nothing but trouble!!! Drinks are not all inclusive, they expect you to pay extra for the cocktails! They moan over giving you a big cup to give you a cappuccino, they are hidden in the back. The food service is ridiculous you are expected to get your food then wait for ten minutes to get your sauce, then wait another ten minutes to get your cutlery by the time you eat your food it is cold. The swimming bar area is closed, the nightclub is closed!! The rooms are basic ,not 4 star standard at all. Staff think they own the complex telling us we can't have anything!!! You get hassled on the beach asking to book trips with them, use get my guide it's alot cheaper!!!Do not waste your money coming here!!!!!
