If you are looking for a relaxed stay in a beautiful surrounding with direct access la to one of the most beautiful places for diving and snorkeling this is your place.
Liked · The Hotel is great, the ambiance and decoration of the place is very pleasing. Everything is very well taken care to the little details. From checkin process, to the cleaness and room comforts and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. The location of the hotel is prime with a great view of the sea and right on the beach also with wooden bridge into the water for a nice dive or snorkel with exceptional corals and colorful fish.
The food was great and had very good variety however the breakfast itself could have been better considering the food taste and richness.
Disliked · There was no kettles in rooms this was very much needed as I love to make my own coffee in the morning or herbal tea in the afternoons. Not having. kettle in the room I had to ask for hot water everytime which was somehow annoying.
Our stay was incredible. Stefan and his entire staff were very well prepared to make us feel at ease, actually quite special, during COVID times. I've stayed here many times over the past few years and will continue returning. Kudos to the entire team for your hard work and for making guests feel at home, relaxed and safe!
This is the place to stay as solo traveler (m/f), group of friends or couple that want to meet up with others.
Food caters to German, Swiss guests, few British, but all nationalities are welcome and will feel welcome.
Diving center adjacent. House reef for enrolling and diving.
Top; 45 min drive from Hurghada airport
The staff were always on hand to offer assistance. Being disabled in a wheelchair this was particularly useful.
I am finding it difficult to think of anything negative.
We booked this hotel because it was close to the jetty to get into the water as we wanted to snorkel and it got consistently good reviews. The standard rooms are ok and clean and tidy. We booked a room overlooking the golf course but were allocated one where we had a sunset view which suited us. Most of us grumble about twin beds being pushed together, but I can understand this makes it easier for the hotel but you do then get the biggest and longest quilt ever, so no complaints about feet sticking out the bottom! As there is a courtyard with the swimming pool in the middle of the hotel, there's often squealing from kids enjoying themselves in the pool. There's a lot of thought gone into creating areas to 'chill out' which was handy as February seems to be sunny but windy. There's some nice spots on the roof terrace to get away from the wind.The dive centre is right next door which is why there are many dive groups at the hotel. It's perfect for them. Lots of good buffet food to fill up on! Whilst the daily food theme is on a 7 day cycle, we noticed that there were different dishes when it came round the next week which was a nice touch. The drinks and water as has been mentioned by others are close to European hotel prices. There's no free water in your rooms to clean your teeth with. The water in the bathroom is desalinated. You can buy water at the mini market at the back of the Marina and come back on the golf buggy.
The only hotel I know that I will be holidaying at again. Top notch

Great if you want to avoid crowds
The staff always work hard to provide guests with a good experience. This is not a five star hotel and not a chain so if you like that type of place Breakers might not be for you. But if you like a more low key, less crowded experience Breakers is great. We've stayed many times and it's always a hit.
I booked Breakers for a 4 day kite surfing trip and it was the perfect place to stay. The hotel has a boutique feel to it, well organised and managed. The staff were very helpful and courteous. I didn't kite at the Kitehouse spot, which is only a bus ride away, as the prevailing wind direction is offshore, it tends to be crowded in a restricted area. Instead, I based myself at Point Break, further down the coast, I was picked up by boat every day, which was fund and kited in a cross shore spot with much fewer kiters and much interesting terrain.
Pros
Staff, staff, staff. All of them are brilliant and so friendly. Have not experienced service like that in any other hotel in Egypt.
The house reef at the end of the jetty (an absolute must!) and you can rent all the equipment at the Orca dive shop.
Cons
No beach
No coffee/tea making facilities
If you can live without a beach then you should stay in this hotel, without a doubt.
Kiting, surfing, diving, snorkeling thats why people come there. And there are best facilities for that. Food is good, kitchen very clean, decent staff, no harasment, nice guests, mostly adult or with elder children from Germany and Switzerland. Yoga-sessions, gym, nice bar, wonderful reef... Perfect cleanliness!
Breakers is a small (compared to many Red Sea resorts), compact and generally well appointed hotel. Our room was clean and well presented with two comfortable twin beds pushed next to each other - we had room 253 which was spacious and looked right out over the small beach front and sea. We could pick up free wi-fi in our room which was quite fast. Good choice of well cooked food at all mealtimes. Excellent and friendly customer service by all staff. Lovely large bar area with a pool table and table football which were rarely used but again acted as a focus for relaxing. Little to occupy you other than scuba dive or snorkel (the hotel has a beautiful house reef), kite surf, sunbathe or just chill out with friends old and new - all the good things in life! The on-site Orca dive centre is very well run and supportive to all levels of diver and is a major focus of activity where people will meet to chat and relax. Loved it and hope to return.

Breakers Dive & Surf Hotel
This is our third time at Breakers at Soma Bay. Service is excellent, particularly for Egypt--5 star! The facility is nice with a beach, a pier to dive or snorkel right there, and a dive shop next door. Walking path winds along ocean and past other hotels. There is a rooftop for sunning and lounging beds. The dinners are very good with changing menu each night. Breakfasts are average with no variety, however fresh juices have been removed from previous years--a disappointment!
Things that could be improved: allow guests to bring water and their own wine (Egyptian wine is closer to vinegar). Wi-fi is not available in the rooms. "Available in all areas" means all public areas, but where it is available it's pretty fast. TVs are blocked from using an HDMI cable, but you can request maintenance to unblock it--however if you turn your TV off, it reverts back to blocked.
Overall we recommend Breakers and it is a good value for the money!
I spent four nights, enjoying diving at the house reef and kite surf.The hotel is clean and has a unique location on the house Reef, so you can enjoy diving and snorkeling,The hotel also offer complementary breakfast and dinner, you will not find the same in others hotels in Soma bay.
Also price per night is cheaper than other hotels, Service is good, clean hotel,with amazing facilities, I strongly recommend it for couples and families.Reception Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, speaking different languages fluently.
I stayed Great 4 nights in a room with breathtaking sea View,I enjoyed diving in the House Reef and Kite Surfing.The hotel Reception team are nice , friendly, helpful and speak English, Russian and German languages Fluently. Breakfast and Dinner is Nice
