Guest Reviews
- j_rgbX1193EF (10/5): ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 - The hotel is simply furnished; this is our second time here and we enjoy it every time. The food is delicious and the drinks are nice and cold ;)
- G1242SSlarav (10/5): Relax - the resort is very beautiful, a little small but very welcoming, there are 3 swimming pools in the resort, one small and two large, as regards the sea it is separate but connected by the shuttle, beautiful, organised and clean rooms, good and varied food especially at dinner, the staff we can define as fantastic always smiling and available, strong point The entertainment with many activities and shows that will not let you get bored, but never intrusive and always respectful of relaxation, will make your holiday unique
- LISA5371245 (10/5): Holiday - I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and professional. The food was delicious with a great variety, and the facilities were excellent. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience
- jasonmC9929EU (8/5): Winter Sun, first visit to Egypt. - Nice week in the Lemon and Soul, last minute change of holiday plans so first time in Egypt.
As parents and on our first holiday in 20yrs without our children, the WiFi was absolutely awful, had to go to reception to get any form of signal which was not ideal when you needed to contact home.
Again, from a personal perspective, it would be nice if there was a non-smoking area outside the rooms or around the pool, I know this is not the norm in certain countries, but would be nice if this was catered for.
As expected, not a great deal outside of the resort/hotel, shuttle bus every 30 minutes to the Beach which was 5 minutes away, could have walked but just a bit unsure.
Found the hotel very dated, however, the rooms were very clean and housekeeping were in every day if you wanted them to be, hotel could really do with an update.
We went all inclusive, which was ok, food served 24/7, the food was ok, lots of choice but did get a bit repetitive. My only complaint about the all inclusive would be the drinks, albeit we are not big drinkers the quality of the alcohol was awful, no beer on tap, if you wanted a cold beer it was from a can and poured in to a small glass, if you wanted a tidy beer or cocktail then you had to pay for them, which again was not the best quality.
Didn't like the reps in the resort coming around daily to try and sell you an excursion, even when told no they continued to approach and ask, I'm there to relax, would like to be left alone.
Would probably come back to Egypt, would I return to this hotel, probably not, would I recommend this hotel, probably not.
This is no reflection on the staff as they couldn't do enough for you, especially once they got to know you.
- Tour34376177900 (10/5): Everything perfect - Everything perfect especially rafat at animation team
- aleksandrazO9999EY (10/5): Great experience - Hotel based in a quiet area within 30 min from Hurgada. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean with balcony and air con.
- jolantaz544 (10/5): Thanka - Exellent service. Rally enjoyed exercise! Teresa was amaizing!!! Tkanki you
- AHMED (1/5): For sure I’ll never consider visiting this place ever again - The only professional staff was at the reception his name was Abdelwahab Not clean
Food horrible
Most of the staff not friendly and non professional
3 stars is too much for this hotel
- clairefL6762PH (10/5): Great hotel - staff are amazing - I have just arrived back from another holiday at lemon & soul, I left a positive review in November 2025 when I was here last and once again we couldn’t wait to come back to what feels like our second home. 🙏
We have been to Egypt for 20 years and stayed in many hotels, however we come back to lemon & soul because of the friendly staff, they simply make your holiday a great one and always go above and beyond to ensure your stay with them is one to remember. 🥰
This hotel is continuing to make changes, and in the last 4 months since I was last here the hotel now has 2 new restaurants (Italian & burger/ fajitas) and they are building a new gym, kids club and additional toilet facilities, Mr rushtee the general manger is a lovely gentleman with a kind heart, he has a vision to improve to make the hotel facilities even better for the guests, the one thing that i absolutely love about this place is it has the most welcoming laidback friendly atmosphere, and to us it feels like our second home, it has a family feel you don’t get in larger resorts, the staff all work hard together and genuinely care about the guests, we are well travelled and stayed in many counties and hotels and this place is my 10 year old daughter Lilys favourite hotel, (she knows all the staff by name and gets involved with the animation team and loves to dance) there is too many staff to mention… they are all so special, moniur the lifeguard (guy in the picture) that works at the towel centre and beach really is amazing at what he does he is so attentive to get your towel on your bed and keep the pool area clean, he ensured the foam party was safe for all, everyone had such a great time, and he walks around with a friendly smile, all the guests love him and it’s because of he loves his job and having guest contact, nothing is too much trouble.
Hussein, and the others guys that work with muniur also do an awesome job.
The reception staff, abdelwahab, khalid, Karim, Ahmed, and the rest of the team really are so polite and do a fantastic job at welcoming all guests to the hotel, booking reservations for the restaurants and on hand if you need anything.
The bar staff, Ahmed - (the one who went on vacation you are Lily’s favourite Barman) sambo, fawsy, Ahmed, osman, and all the rest of the team work hard to get your drinks topped up, and the restaurant staff and chefs are brilliant here Khalid the chef, Ali who makes delicious omelettes in the morning, and all of the staff in the restaurant are great .., Mohamed ibrahim such a super waiter who made our meal at the Italian restaurant special, Ahmed (restaurant manager) and Amr (manager) you are both a credit to this hotel ⭐️
Noir, aurora, bondo, aziz, and the rest of the animation team really made an effort to entertain the guests and my daughter lily loved dancing with them.
Whether it’s your first time to Egypt or been before try this hotel you won’t be disappointed, the staff here give you 5* service, and you depart not wanting to leave and want to come back again, to us they are not staff anymore … they are like family, because family makes you feel at home, and once again we’re sad to leave, but we will see you once again in November take care from Claire Steve lily momma and family x
- U1997TUlisam (8/5): Great holiday for cost, good resort, would recommend - Fab holiday for cost, ….food/ service/hotel/cleanliness/beach all good. BEWARE of souvenir shop on site that sells souvenirs/tobacco, he tried to rip us off when we paid by card… price he told us was NOT the price charged to debit card, we had to get hotel security involved to issue refund! Then he tried to give us dodgy notes for refund, we had to get hotel security to step in again to sort. Rude young man, in souvenir shop, total conman obviously thinks tourists are stupid….not to be trusted. Jewellery shop fab quality, great prices, really nice genuine staff in there. Perfume shop fab too, nice man.
- davidtI8222QC (10/5): Holiday - The Location was really nice ,
The food was very good and delicious, also the Animation Team was Great , the Best was aziz , really smart and helpful man.
- C7697JJgeorgem (10/5): Great experience. - Good value,good hotel ,good staff
- romeo017 (6/5): Somewhat dismayed.. - Long story + charming staff + hot food somewhat bland and unseasoned + spirits are not full strength + avoid the shops opposite and take the free bus to beach and the shops in the other hotel complex + drivers on airport transfers are crooks! Not suitable for children + theme nights are disappointing!
- ryanwC7024CP (8/5): Staff were amazing. - We had a really pleasant stay overall and found the hotel to be great value for money.
The pool area is lovely and well kept, and everything throughout the hotel was clean and tidy. One thing that really stood out was the staff – they genuinely couldn’t do enough for you. From check-in to daily service, everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We can’t stress enough how good the staff are.
Our room was adequate for the price. It had everything we needed, the pillows were very comfortable, although the mattress was quite firm.
The pool area is popular, so be aware that sunbeds fill up quickly – even in March we found ourselves getting up early to secure one.
Food was generally good, but a bit repetitive. As vegetarians, we did find the variety somewhat limited, which is something the hotel could improve.
A big positive for us was accessibility. We were travelling with a wheelchair and had no issues getting around the hotel, which made the stay much easier and more enjoyable.
We also appreciated that we weren’t constantly hassled by excursion sellers, which made for a more relaxed experience.
Overall, a pleasant stay with excellent staff, good facilities, and a few minor areas for improvement.
- 856juliyab (10/5): Omg, we are happy - We were very happy with our stay at Lemon and Soul Makadi. We really loved the large double bed – perfect for a comfortable sleep. The food was tasty and didn’t cause any stomach issues. Breakfasts were a bit repetitive, but the dinners were truly impressive in variety and flavor.
The hotel has its own farm and garden, where they grow vegetables and take great care of them – it’s nice to see such attention to fresh produce.
The golf cart to the beach takes just 3–5 minutes. You can use the Jaz hotel beach, but not their sunbeds. We even went to the pontoon of the new Albatros hotel, but they allowed it only once.
The Christmas dinner was amazing – so many grilled dishes, desserts, and fruits. The staff are friendly, English-speaking, very pleasant, and not intrusive.
There are many cats and kittens on the property. Unfortunately, they are not sterilized, so there are quite a few pregnant cats, and they all ask for food. We tried to feed them every day. They are wonderful, and we kindly ask the owner to consider putting bowls of water and food for them.
The hotel mainly caters to Germans and Italians. Overall, a great place for a relaxing and delicious vacation.
- 12yelyzavetak (10/5): Wonderful - Had an incredible experience at this hotel. Wonderful beach, delicious and varied food, so friendly staff. Well-groomed territory, own garden at the hotel, products from which are actively used in cooking ☺️💫
- micha_n2019 (10/5): ♥️♥️♥️♥️ - The hotel was okay, the food was nice, the animations were cool, and I definitely recommend the excursions.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
- NathanLawton99 (10/5): ❤️❤️❤️❤️ - Very nice hotel, the staff are amazing and always willing to help, there’s a good selection of food and the animation team make it extra special by getting you involved in all the activities, especially Nadine and Rafat my new best friends, I will definitely return to this hotel!
- R6209BJyahyaa (10/5): Amazing hotel ❤️ - An outstanding hotel with exceptional, top-quality services. The staff are extremely professional, respectful, and welcoming, and the reception was warm and attentive from the first moment. My children were absolutely happy and enjoyed every part of the stay. Truly an excellent hotel and without a doubt one of the best hotels in the Red Sea.”
- romanbT8247HN (10/5): Another amazing holiday at lemon and soul! We look forward to coming back next year! - Another excellent holiday at lemon and soul! The staff this year have been amazing yet again! The head manager Mr Ahmed was welcoming and inviting and he has a very clear plan for the future of the hotel, I am excited to return next year. The security team was always happy to have a chat and a laugh. The bar team were also excellent, always serving drinks with a smile and having a proper laugh and a joke. The restaurant staff were also superb! Always offering tasty meals and helping the guests when they can, along with the top chef who was always happy to make anything and looked after us. We stayed at this hotel for 21 nights, we had the most amazing time! I’m excited to see where the hotel goes in the new year, as they have exciting plans to renovate and upgrade the hotel. Special shout out to a few of the staff, Ahmed the bar manager who was excellent, also Ahmed the bar worker and Ramadan who were always having a god laugh. Khalifa on the grill also deserves a shout out for always making the best grilled food and laughing with the guests. Mr Amr the assistant manager was also so helpful on this holiday, always checking if there was an issues. A final shout out goes to the animation team, with Patrick and Rafat being the stand out guys for me, always inviting us to join activities and join the evening entertainment. The only negative with the hotel was the alcohol, but this will be rectified very soon as the management are changing the alcohol providers contract.

- ahmediF2831CN (10/5): Amazing hotel - Amazing hotel with so friendly staff specially the reception team the food is amazing and activities is so good I really loved this vacation
- nourw712 (10/5): Amazing - If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, vibrant stay in Makadi Bay, the Lemon & Soul Makadi Garden is a unique choice. Unlike the sprawling, often overwhelming mega-resorts nearby, this hotel focuses on a "zesty" boutique feel with a bright yellow-and-green color palette and a more intimate atmosphere.
- hamody95 (10/5): Great hotel - The food was good service and staff were excellent would go again the entertainment team was good and there was alot of things to do overall great experience
- 345yassina (10/5): Best summer vacation - It was great,luxurious, and comfy. It’s located perfectly. Very clean. Value to quality ratio is perfect. Very calm. High quality of service.

- R8163PGjohnb (10/5): Second time around, sure not the last! - This is our second stay at Lemon & Soul Makadi bay and even better than the first time.
Nice hotel in a garden setting, a short ride to the beach by hotel buggy, good service at the beach for food and drinks.
The staff and animation team are amazing, they go a long way to make it comfortable and enjoyable for every guest.
The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable.
Plenty variety of food served daily and every night BBQ and a themed speciality, Asian, Oriental, Italian, Seafood , etc are the highlight of the evening meals.
Compared with last year there is a new feature, two a la carte dining options, for sure a added value ( reservation required)
Also new, every evening a show ( external professionals) organized by the animation team, worth while a visit !
A few downside issues, at the hotel lobby you can order a taxi, but they charge some 3 times the standard Uber price and we ended up in a old car as taxi, smelled awful of petrol.
Be aware Uber drivers are always complaining they can’t meet the Uberprice and always want more !
One of the shopkeepers just outside the hotel apparently never heard of customer focus, he is only interested in sell, sell, sell but in our experience that seems quite common in Egypt
One last remark, it’s difficult to find a matching saucer for your soup bowl , that can be quite a challenge to bring your soup to your table and not spill !
- X6369EZaaronm (10/5): lemon and soul is a good time and a social hotel - Wry good hotel and great staff. Would stay again 100%
I Enjoy the activities, the food, you can book excursions straight from the hotel which makes it easy. They give a fair price too.
The rooms are what you pay for, the beds are comfy and the room service is great.
- prycew2025 (10/5): ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - The animation team here is amazing always trying to get you involved with sports or dancing or activities and always so friendly and polite
- frankas843 (8/5): 2nd time just as nice as the first - Perfect for a relaxt holiday. Just a small hotel, plenty choice at the buffet. Friendly staff and good guide for trips. (Ask for Kareem)
- clairefL6762PH (10/5): Great holiday with amazing staff - We have just returned home from a 2 week stay from this hotel, we have stayed in many hotels in 20 years travelling to Egypt each year but this was the 1st time at this hotel and 1st time at a 3*hotel
This was a family holiday, with my 10 year old daughter and also my eldest daughter was pregnant at the time, there wasn’t many children at the hotel, but the hotel does have a kids club and the animation team really made effort with my youngest daughter to take part in the activities, and get her involved in the dancing and evening shows, there is no pressure to join in with the daily activities but the animation team Sam, junior, Patrick, Islam, and Nadine (jasmine) really do a great job to entertain you, even if you wanted to play ping pong, darts, Zumba class or a game of pool, the aqua gym is popular and I joined in with this myself.
When I arrived I did think this is one of the smallest hotels in Egypt we’ve stayed in, some small shops onsite (which can be slightly more expensive) there is 1 deep pool, 1 main pool, and a shallow pool for children, with 1 main restaurant, however after just 2 days here and seeing how friendly the staff are I have realised it is the staff at this hotel that make it a such a really great hotel, they simply cannot do enough for you, and really care about making sure your happy and having a nice stay there, Iv travelled to many hotels in Egypt over the 20 years and I know from experience you can’t pay staff to genuinely care from the heart and go above and beyond, but the atmosphere when I arrived and seeing how the staff walk around smiling and greeting you with good morning each day and how they interact with each other makes me feel like this hotel treat each other like family.
All the staff here have made our holiday such a great one, but I will shout out that the hotel manager Ahmed who has recently took over this hotel has made so many changes to improve this hotel in such a very short time we was there, he has built a new oriental experience with Bedouin tents, cocktails,entertainment and another place to eat and we went along on the grand opening night and it was excellent.
He has opened a new Italian restaurant too which opened the day we left, and plans for a new seafood restaurant in the near future, he even placed the heating on in the pool as the temperature had dropped and this made it so lovely and warm to swim in each day, I know Ahmed has put so much effort and hard work in to making this hotel better and I wish him and the lemon & soul team every success.
Ahmed the hotel restaurant manager is such a fantastic guy he helped organise a birthday celebration meal whilst we was there the table was decorated with flowers, balloons, a birthday cake, and the team sang to us he made our evening so special.
Hussein the lifeguard is such a polite member of staff so attentive to place your towels on the beds for you and always is friendly and does a great job to keep the pool area so clean.
Khalid (shift leader) on the reception really went the extra mile for us in booking a rooms on the same floors as other family members, and booking our table reservations for the other restaurants, and giving late check out to us he is such a amazing member of staff to have as front of house.
Hamada our housekeeper made our rooms spotlessly clean and made effort to add decorations to the bed for my daughter, and made one of our families rooms decorated beautifully on their birthday.
The hotel is a short distance to the beach by shuttle which you can catch every 30 mins outside the front of the hotel at the beach you will find a bar, and food truck cooking pizza pasta and salad
Even the gardeners do an amazing job to look after the grounds and provide fresh flowers daily on the tables
The rooftop bar is good, you can watch tv and have a lovely view there is a bar there but it would be great to have a toilet facility up there as you would need to come down all the stairs if you need to use the toilet.
It’s not been our 1st time to makadi bay so if you want more out of the area a taxi can be arranged but we went for a chilled holiday and not only did we get this here, it’s the level of hospitality and friendly staff that made it a special family holiday and now we’re back to uk freezing weather I want to come back 😂
I will not write reviews to be forced to make out it’s better than it is, this review is genuine and i believe credit where it’s due, this place is a good hotel.
After years of travelling to Egypt we may even see you guys again in the future on our travels …. Thank you all at lemon & soul for helping to make our holiday a such a lovely one & we would definitely return to this hotel x
- G7001TYjasont (10/5): 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️ - Excellent hotel snd very friendly staff . Lots to do lovely beach ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
- Gregory59stiles (10/5): Holiday - I like this place very it's amazing animation team very perfect the food are good islam the best the staff very friendly i will come again
- khaledaU4352TF (8/5): Feedback Regarding Our Stay and Payment Issue at Lemon & Soul Hotel - I would like to sincerely thank the staff at Lemon & Soul for their hard work, long hours, and great effort to make the guests happy. The team truly is the backbone of this hotel, and their dedication is very much appreciated.
However, I must express my disappointment with the management regarding the issue of the 630 euros that we had to pay without any effort from the hotel management to verify the matter. Especially the Front office manager, who seemed indifferent and tried to distance himself from the problem. This amount could have been easily verified by contacting the travel agency TUI via email, which would confirm that no extra amounts were paid over two separate weeks — first 320 euros, then 310 euros. I even sent all correspondence between me and TUI Austria proving this.
Moreover, when we arrived during the second week on 20-11-2025, we were not given the room until after payment, which was very frustrating.
On the bright side, the hotel itself is beautiful, and the staff are excellent. The only improvements I would suggest are having more food variety, and addressing the water quality issues: the tap water is unclean, and dirty, with no hot water available for showers.
In conclusion, I thank all the staff again for their efforts, but I hope management takes the necessary steps to resolve such problems in the future.

- 273janaz (10/5): Magical Stay at Lemon & Soul – My 6th Visit and Counting! - I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the extraordinary service and the professional, always-smiling staff at Lemon & Soul Hotel. Every team member is ready to assist and make your stay unforgettable.
A special thank you to F&B Manager Mr. Sherif, whose dedication ensures that the culinary experience here is exceptional. The food is consistently delicious, offering:
A wide variety of fresh and grilled vegetable salads
Seasonal fruits and multiple dressings
Extra tasty soups served twice daily
Homemade pastries and bakery delights like croissants, bagels, pancakes, and porridge
Fried eggs and many other breakfast options
Thematic dinners and à la carte menus
The animation team deserves recognition for their energy and creativity, making every day fun and engaging. After the evening program, the disco nights add a vibrant touch to the experience.
One of my favorite aspects is the option to walk to the beach, which is incredibly relaxing. For convenience, a shuttle runs every 10 minutes. The beach itself is stunning, with crystal-clear water. If you prefer to stay by the sea, you can enjoy pizza or pasta right on the beach—another thoughtful touch!
This is just a glimpse of the magical atmosphere at this marvelous hotel. This was my 6th visit, and I am already planning to return next year for at least 24 days. I can’t wait to reunite with the friendly staff and the wonderful friends I’ve made here, along with many other guests who keep coming back to this special place.
- U4597JCdarrenm (10/5): Holiday - Amazing hotel, staff are friendly and food is fantastic.
Short trip to the beach which again is really nice.
Pools are lovely and warm and while place is clean.

- khaledaU4352TF (6/5): Regarding additional payment and transfer issues for travel to Lemon and Soul Hotel, Hurghada - We booked a two-week stay through the global TUI company from Salzburg, Austria, for two separate periods: from October 30, 2025, to November 6, 2025, and from November 20, 2025, to November 27, 2025. The reservation was made under the name Khaled Ali Ibrahim Oun, an Egyptian national, and my brother Atef Oun, an Austrian national. Our travel was directly to the Lemon and Soul Hotel.
Upon our arrival at the hotel on October 30, 2025, we were surprised when the front desk staff demanded an additional payment of 320 Euros, claiming it was required because I am Egyptian, even though the reservation was made through Salzburg using the Egyptian passport.
After a disagreement and dispute with the reception staff, we reluctantly paid the amount of 320 Euros with the intention to clarify the matter with the booking company.
Furthermore, although the hotel is about 30 kilometers from the airport, there was no airport transfer provided as promised by the global TUI company, which caused us inconvenience.
The issue was specifically with Ahmed at the reception, who insisted that the payment must be made. However, overall, the hotel was wonderful, and the staff were very friendly and cooperative. Special thanks to Ramadan at the pool area. The food was excellent and worth the price paid, and we really enjoyed the Oriental Night. The staff showed great respect and courtesy throughout our stay.
I am very surprised and disappointed by the insistence on this payment despite the reservation details and the absence of the promised transfer service. I kindly request you to take the necessary actions to address these issues and inform me of the outcome, as we have another week booked soon, and I want to ensure that these problems will not be repeated.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

You get lot for your money here.
- teodor-dobrev-01 (10/5): A perfect balance between location, activities, and relaxation - I stayed at the hotel for 7 days with a friend, and we had an amazing time! We enjoyed the activities organized by the animation team, but also had plenty of peaceful moments at the hotel — a perfect balance between location, activities, and relaxation. Ideal for people who want to recharge their energy in a warm place.
Everyone at the hotel was extremely kind and helpful. Special thanks to the entire animation team — Hema, Dina, Yousef, Beba & the Fire Boy! Thank you for the nice conversations, the smiles, and the water gym! If you’re a guest at the hotel, make sure to join the aqua gym ;)
The food and the room were nice. The hotel offers not only main meals but also additional snacks — in the afternoon at the hotel and on the beach, as well as late in the evening after dinner.
Thanks also to Mustafa from the spa center :) A very kind person and a true professional.
The only suggestions I would recommend is to have more bus shuttles between the hours 20h-21h (to take more people to the evening amphitheater) and to boost the lobby wifi (probably there were too many people connected, but me personally I almost never got the chance to have a good connection :D so I used my personal data insted)
We’ll definitely visit again! Stay healthy!

- davidyZ7023MI (10/5): Excellent experience - Dr Hend Salehs work was impeccable very friendly my wife was in excellent hands. Each visit was carried out very professionally having her on site made the experience much more palatable.
- amandines606 (10/5): Très bon et beau animateur hema le plus beau - 🎯 My recommendation for your stay
• If you are looking for luxury, comfort, and prime location, this hotel is a strong choice.
• If your budget is tighter, or you prioritize value over luxury, there are mid-range options you may also consider (I can fetch those if you like).
• Always check recent reviews (last 3-6 months) to ensure there haven’t been declines in service/maintenance.
If you tell me your budget, preferred neighborhood, and amenities (pool, spa, view, etc.), I can pull 3–5 hotel options with recent reviews tailored for you in Egypt. Would that work?
- denisam924 (10/5): Holiday - Best holiday with lovely staff super animation very friendly very professional the place very clean I like it I will come again
- wheelerdealer41 (6/5): Want the best, pay the rest! - Remember this is a 3* hotel, definitely no more
Room dated but quiet,air con worked! Shower luke warm at best.
Food very average and repetitive.
Pool area ok, plenty of sunbeds, continuously harassed by sales people which rather spoilt my stay.
Hotel Internet totally useless.
Onsite shop super super expensive, honestly avoid .
Weather fantastic
Entertainment, poor
Cheap all inclusive package but you get what you pay for!
Probably wouldn't stay here again but have stayed at worse.

- 89keiraj (4/5): Major improvements needed - Our experience at this hotel was disappointing overall. The food was very repetitive and not great in quality — pretty much the same options every day, which quickly became boring.
The reception staff were hit and miss. Some were okay, but others came across as rude or uninterested, which didn’t give a very welcoming impression. A word of warning about the shops just outside the hotel — they tend to overcharge tourists. Unfortunately, we fell for it and ended up paying far more than we should have.
The hotel itself is very quiet, with little to no entertainment in the evenings, so don’t expect much going on after dinner. The rooms are outdated and really need some renovation. The location is quite isolated, with nothing much around, and you need to take a buggy (around 5 minutes) just to get to the beach.
We also tried the à la carte restaurants at the sister hotel Lebranda, which is about a 10-minute buggy ride away. Sadly, that was another disappointment — there’s only a set menu, and you can only eat there once for free, so it didn’t feel worth the effort.
Cleanliness was another major issue. We noticed dirty drinking glasses in several areas of the hotel, which really put us off. To make things worse, you also have to pay extra for classic cocktails, which was never mentioned beforehand.
Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential but needs serious improvements in cleanliness, food variety, and customer service. We wouldn’t return based on this experience.
- Janinesun (10/5): Lovely hotel, friendly staff, nice food. Definitely come here again. The strip at the beach is lovely in the evening and - Lovely hotel, friendly staff, nice food. Definitely come here again. The strip at the beach is lovely in the evening and the restaurants are amazing. The weather here in Oct is 31 degrees hot, so definitely recommend some winter sun. BEBO is very friendly and helpful and smiley. He helped with any information we needed.
- 551chantelles (10/5): Good holiday - We had an amazing time on our stay here. We would definitely return. The staff were amazing and very helpful. The entertainment staff were very fun and enjoyable. They were constantly around talking to guest and involving them in all activities.
There was a good variety of food and drinks.
Thank you for a great stay guy.
- 472fannif (10/5): Good holiday - It was great to be here with my husband. The animators were so great, and they had so much activities here for example water gym, waterpolo and darts, they are so good, and nice :)

- beshoyn911 (10/5): 10/0 - The animation team is very good , and the all food it is very nice, the all staff is very very good . And all of drinks hard & soft is very nice and good .
- T5774IWsandram (10/5): Wonderful time at lemon and soul hotel - This is a very beautiful and familary hotel. The stuff is very friendly and helpful all the time.
The area of the hotel is a bit smaller but you have everything what you need.
The food is very delicious.
- karlamF6166NF (6/5): Do your research so your not ripped off - There’s so much to say. Now this was far from the worst holiday I’ve been to but there a good few things that need addressing.
Firstly there are 9 restaurants you can go to at the other hotel but you can only go twice. Nothing is told to you about this when you’re trying to book.
Secondly the hotel is advertised as an all inclusive resort. This is not the case. There are 2 bars next to the pool. The all inclusive have pretty much no alcohol in them at all. I drank a few for first couple of days then thought there’s just no point at all, so therefore had to use the paid bar for over a week. The drinks are lovely and the price is not bad at all. But they are advertised as €3 each but they don’t do the pound conversion so paying £3 each drink. Some days we could have waited almost an hour for our drinks so had to get 2 at a time so we didn’t have to sit there with no drinks.
The activities are really good but the staff will try take advantage of you and charge double if they can get away with it. Prices should be clearly stated on the lists so then we can decide if we want to give good tips for the best services. The shop on sight charges 2-3 times more to anywhere else in town so do not buy from this shop. Go into town for your cigarettes and toiletries.
The food was pretty good for a 3* hotel so I can’t complain about that.
You are charged double for drinks if you do want to go to the club on the next hotel and whatever you do. Do not go the clubs in town. We were charged £180 for a normal bottle of vodka and 6 red bulls. Constantly being ripped off. Do your research for everything before going. But it has some of the most beautiful places to visit and the boat trips etc are great. I’ll be back next year but unfortunately will have to choose another hotel to stay in

- Relax64896741573 (6/5): Terrible entertainment for day and evening spoils what could be a really nice hotel - Good layed out hotel, nice rooms, always hot shower, everywhere kept clean and tidy. Nice pool area with the only bar there. Nice friendly helpful staff except one bar man at the beach bar in the late afternoons, he was unpleasant even after giving him a tip., most probably expected a tip more often. Free shuttle to the beach area, very regular, back and to, beautiful view from there of the blue sea.
Restaurant, well planned out, with two high chair long tables as well as all the other regular tables. Food, not the best quality or variety, no french fries in the evening. Small cakes all tasted the same, only nice cake was funny enough at breakfast., a carrot cake.
Daytime entertainment terrible, darts with broken blunt darts, because the animation small team won't look for a mat to put under the dartboard. Most of the time the animation team are not preparing games but just walking round talking to guest, hopeless they were, no imagination what should be done as a entertainment team.
Evening entertainment, just as bad at the pool area, I was there two weeks and only saw two terrible singers, one of them stopping to go for a meal half way through his session. For slightly better entertainment you have to go by shuttle to a Sister hotel, then this entertainment only lasts 1 hour or less and you cannot use your wrist band to get any drinks except a small beer in a flimsy plastic cup when the amphitheatre is used.
- 346nikolasb (10/5): Hotel Lemon and Soul - September 2 weeks vacation - This was our first time coming from Serbia to Egypt, and Lemon & Soul was our first hotel. Our experience was really nice. I would recommend everyone to choose this hotel. Even though it is a bit further from the beach, there is a shuttle bus that runs regularly. Even at lunch or dinner time, when it is supposed to be the last departure, the bus runs more often than scheduled.
The hotel has fantastic accommodation, it is very clean, the service is at the highest level, and the staff are very helpful, kind, and always smiling. Maybe it is not like in 5-star hotels, but you will definitely not be hungry, and there is always something for everyone. So our experience was fantastic.
I also recommend visiting other places in Egypt if you are staying more than 7 days – definitely go to Cairo, Luxor, and Giftun Island. Seeing the pyramids is an amazing experience, with excellent guides and everything well organized. Also, compared to the more expensive hotels around us, we had the best beach – you can easily check that by opening Google Maps and looking at the location of the hotel beaches.
- 362dusankas (10/5): Extraordinary - It was spectacular! All people are warm, room cleaning every day, food was cool, stuff was extraordinary! Funny and welcoming...
