Caribbean World Soma Bay

The value family choice in Soma Bay: a lively all inclusive built directly on a broad sandy beach, with a small aqua park, several pools and a children's pool with its own slide. The kids club runs for four to twelves alongside a mini disco, a playroom and a playground. On Soma Bay's sheltered sand the shallows are gentler than the Makadi reef beaches, which makes it an easier sea for younger children, though it is less polished than its pricier Soma neighbours.
Our verdict
The budget-friendly way to give younger children slides and a gentle sandy beach in Soma Bay. Families wanting refinement or a big slide count should look up the road to the pricier resorts.
The rooms
Straightforward, roomy rooms in low blocks around the gardens and pools, most with a balcony or terrace. Family rooms sleep four and connecting rooms are available if you ask early, so specify at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and the layout is flat and easy to cross with a buggy.

Parents also ask
Does it have slides for children?
Yes. There is a small aqua park with slides, plus a children's pool that has its own little slide for the younger ones. It is included for guests. It is a modest park rather than a mega one, which suits younger families more than slide-hungry teens.
Is the sea gentle for younger children?
Soma Bay's sheltered sand is gentler than the reef beaches of Makadi, so the shallows here are easier for younger children to paddle in. As always on the Red Sea, keep an eye out for the odd rocky or reef patch and pack beach shoes to be safe.
Is it worth paying more for a neighbouring resort?
It depends on your priority. Caribbean World is the value pick, with slides and a sandy beach at a lower price. If you want refined food and finish, or a bigger water park, the pricier Soma Bay resorts deliver more, but they cost noticeably more too.

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.
