Amwaj Beach Club Abu Soma

A modern, good-value four-star just north of Soma Bay, whose draw for families is a free aqua park of eleven slides with an integrated children's and baby pool, heated through the coldest months. The honest catch is the beach: the sand is fine, but the sea entry is rocky and shallow, so you need beach shoes and a walk, or the pier, to reach swimming depth. This is a pools-and-slides holiday first, with the sea as a snorkel add-on rather than a toddler wading beach.
Our verdict
Excellent value if the holiday is built around the free aqua park and the heated pools, and you treat the sea as a snorkel trip in beach shoes. Families set on a soft sandy sea entry should choose a Soma Bay lagoon resort instead.
The rooms
Bright, modern rooms in a smart four-star block, most with a balcony or terrace over the gardens or pools. Family rooms sleep four and connecting rooms can be arranged if you ask early, so state your preference at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and the freshwater pools are heated in the coldest winter months.

Parents also ask
Is the aqua park included in the price?
Yes, the eleven-slide aqua park is free for guests, with an integrated children's and baby pool. Opening hours are seasonal and weather-dependent, and the freshwater pools are heated from roughly November to February, so it works as a winter-sun choice.
What is the beach really like for children?
Honestly, it is the weak point for little ones. The sand is fine, but the sea entry is rocky and shallow, so you need beach shoes and a walk, or the pier, to reach swimming depth. Most families spend their water time in the aqua park and pools and treat the sea as a snorkel outing.
Is it suitable for a baby?
Yes for the pools, with reservations for the sea. There is a baby pool built into the aqua park, free cots and heated freshwater pools in winter, all of which suit a baby well. Just do not expect to wade into the sea with them, given the rocky entry.

Baron Palace Sahl Hasheesh
Large, properly finished rooms and family suites with marble bathrooms and balconies, most facing the gardens or the sea. The family suites give you a separate bedroom with a door that closes, which is the whole reason to pay this much, and several sit within sight of the pools. Cots free.

Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas
Suites and villas rather than plain rooms: most have a separate sitting area, and the villa units give you two bedrooms and a private terrace close to the beach. If you have a baby, ask for a villa on the garden side, where the evening music from the main pool does not carry.
in Hurghada
Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel
Solid, well-kept rooms with proper balconies, many looking over the lagoon and the sea. Family rooms and junior suites take four, and connecting doubles are available for larger groups. Ask for the lagoon side: it is quieter than the road side and you can see the beach from the balcony.
