The Verdict
π‘ Salem Says:
Caribbean World isn't about luxury rooms or gourmet food. It's about ONE thing: The Beach.
Located in Soma Bay (45 mins from Hurghada), it sits on a stretch of coast that looks like the Maldives. The sand is soft, the water is turquoise, and there are no rocks. Excellent for families with small kids.

β The Good
- Beach: Incredible. Probably top 3 in the entire region.
- Space: The resort is huge. You never feel crowded.
- Family Friendly: Big rooms and safe swimming water.
β The Bad
- Distance: It's far from the city (Hurghada center is 50km away).
- WiFi: Terrible in rooms. Only good in the lobby.
- Food: Buffet is repetitive after 4 days.
ποΈ The Maldives of Egypt
Soma Bay is famous for "Caribbean-style" water. It's shallow for a long way out, making it safe for kids. The resort has plenty of sunbeds, but the best spots (front row) get taken by 8 AM.
β Common Questions
Is there a house reef for snorkeling?
Not directly in front of the hotel (it's sandy). But a short walk to the side (near the jetty) reveals some coral patches. Serious snorkelers should take a boat trip.
Can I go to Hurghada city easily?
It takes 45-50 minutes by taxi and costs about β¬25-30 round trip. It's not a place for daily city visits.
