The best thing about Solymar Ivory Suites was the staff and the hospitality. Ahmed Shendy was my go to guy for any issues and questions we had; a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you kind sir. Ahmed assisted us with internet connection issues, currency issues and just general questions and suggestions regarding the surrounding area of Hurghada.
There isn't much going on near the surrounding area of Solymar Ivory Suites, in fact dining options are limited as well. Anywhere you wish to go is a bit of a journey; a 10-20 minute car ride depending on traffic. I highly suggest using Uber and tipping them the max... a far better option than arguing and haggling with Taxi drivers that constantly want to rip you off. All our rides cost about $5 at the most!!
The Venue itself was great for what we paid. We ended up with a large two bedroom flat. It was a bit too cold to use the swimming pool, but the pool looked clean and well maintained. We had WiFi connectivity issues, web access was choppy, inconsistent and worked half the time. There was some hair under a couple of the beds, not cleaned thoroughly. Everything else was fine and worked as it should. The hot water was HOT! So be careful. Glad to be a VIP member of Expedia, I got my late checkout extended for free, no additional charges. I would easily stay here again.
