I had an outstanding experience at Sunrise Holidays Resort. The hotel itself was modern and well decorated. I have heard good things about the hotel before and I had to see myself and i must say, they were all true. The hotel was clean, in good condition, the service was excellent, and the food was very tasty! There was all kind of people from around the world that I was fortunate enough to get to know and socialize with. Also, the staff was very helpful and friendly! Specially the Animation Team: Cancan, Obama, Ahmed, Tito, Jema and Francisco (I hope ... I didn't miss anyone) These guys were awesome! and of course the guy that made us dance the night away Dj Chipsy. Those names are going to be stuck in my head for a while. Thank you Sunrise for my amazing trip and see you soon! read more

I read all the reviews from this hotel before I came and I have not been disappointed. I have loved every minute of my holiday. The room I stayed in was spacious, the food amazing, the lagoon beautiful and the excursions available are varied; but the service is the part that made the holiday. I have never been to Egypt before but I have never been as happy with service anywhere. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgable, I was surprised how many languages most of them can speak, from the cleaners and waiters to the management. The animation ... team deserve a special mention, especially Cancan, Gemma and Tito, always kept us smiling! We will definitely be coming back here. read more

The hotel was an amazing hotel, very clean and well kept, and close to local amenities and the marina etc. Having now been to Egypt on 4 different occasions I found the food in this hotel to be the best by far. There was lots of selection, and tasty, but most importantly for Egypt was that the food was actually hot !! There were a mixture of different nationalities in the hotel: Russian, English, German, Polish and many more. Everyone all got on very well and everyone said hello to each other every morning. In the evening everyone would join ... in and take part in the entertainment. There was no them and us it was everyone having a fantastic holiday together.
What really made our holiday fantastic though was the brilliant animation team. Everyday they would come and say hello and make sure everyone was ok and happy. They never forced you to take part in anything and let you relax if you wanted to. However I do have to say that the holiday would not have been the same without them and they all gave the hotel some character. Cancan, the chief animation team person, was brilliant and he knew how to entertain everyone and was very friendly always with a smile. Then there was Gemma, an absolute star who was always bubbly. She always made sure you had what you needed and if there was anything you needed she would sort it out. Everyday Obama would take the water gymnastics and get everyone involved, and every morning I looked forward to seeing the smile of Julia. Chipset the DJ as brilliant, keeping you entertained all day however I've heard enough Brian Adams to last a lifetime!!! (Apparently the hotel management insist of this in the mornings which is quite depressing!!). And who can forget the Bruno Mars lookalike Negga. Only saw him for two days but again kept us entertained. The other members of the animation team all worked well together and without labouring the point made the holiday the fun that it was (Franchesco, Teto, Susu, Ilia, Ahmed).
There is also one barman I need to mention, Lofty. He was the most helpful and busy barman, always ensuring we had a drink and everything was ok and satisfactory. Some of the others need to learn from him.
Overall this was the best holiday I have had to Egypt and I would come back to this hotel again.
There were however just a few negative point:
1. Every two days for some reasons our room keys would not work and when we went to reception to get them sorted out the reception staff were less than helpful, on some occasions very very rude.
2. There was a barman at the pool called Mohammed who was always incredibly rude. He would sometimes refuse to serve us drinks unless we brought back the glasses. We were a party of 11 and sometime he would say we are taking the piss by ordering 11 drinks and we should go elsewhere to another bar. He spoilt some moments of our holiday which was a shame.
3. The upstairs restaurant has no air conditioning or windows so when you eat there you are so hot and dripping with sweat because there is no air. This needs to be addressed because you cannot enjoy your food at those temperatures. read more

Stag Week

First things first, the adult only reference is not down to any theme! It's simply that this hotel is for adults only. No children! Right, now that we have that cleared, let me tell you about the stay and impression of the hotel.
I had organised a Stag week at the Pyramisa Blue Lagoon, having stayed there on two previous occasions. We were 11 travellers in total and due to reasons beyond our control, the Pyramisa was no longer available. A tripadvisor search revealed this hotel as being highly recommended, so made the arrangements to change the hotel booking. I ... then started the process of liaising with Nicola Deeks from Lowcost holidays to change it to this hotel.
This was an AI package with transfer to and from hotel. For a group this size, highly advisable.
So we arrive at the hotel and as tour leader, I started the checking in procedure. There were two pitchers of drink at a table in the lobby, but we were not offered any (not a problem as we shared a bottle of Jaegermeister!). Once done we received our door key and towel cards, along with an information sheet regarding the eating arrangements. We took our own luggage up, due to our group size and went into our rooms; 661, 662, 663 and 667. The last two rooms had the better views of the pool and sea.
I didn't count the rooms, but seeing that there were numbers in the 700's, I would hazard a guess and say that this was accurate. They were a mixture of sea and garden view.
Guests typically comprised of majority northern England over 50's, Germans, young Russians and people in our own age group of 20's to 40's. read more

The hotel is a very clean and quiet place and a very nice place to chill out and not be disturbed! The food was good and there was always plenty of choice in one of the 5 restaurants 2 main restaurants a beach bar a beach restaurant and an alacart restaurant! The hotel generally attracts an older age range of guests and couples The rooms we had were always kept to high cleanliness standard and were easily big enough to accommodate me and my girlfriend! The only small complaint we had with the room was the shower as it leaked ... a little so the bathroom floor was soaked once we had used the shower read more

I Cant really fault this Hotel. Food was Great (just need a few more choices). 99% of the staff were brilliant e.g Lofty. The rooms were great always cleaned everyday, good size, good view. Towels and bedding changed daily, fresh water delivered daily. Close to the town centre but far enough away that it wasn't noisy. Beach and lagoon clean. read more

Stayed at this hotel from 10th - 24th May. We celebrated a birthday and our 30th Wedding Anniversary while we were there. The staff made sure on both occasions that we were made to feel special, with cakes and a table decorated at the a la Carte Mediterranean restaurant with flowers and candles. Our bedroom was also decorated by our room attendant Gharib, which was brilliant.
Food in all 4 in all restaurant was brilliant, and loads of choice every day. Great fresh snacks at the beach bar was also available (great beef burgers!)
All of the Animation team were ... great, a special mention for Julia, Tito, Ilia, Chipsy and the new chap from Tunisia. Can, Can the entertainment Manager who works 24/7 to keep everything going. and a huge well done his his choreography of River Dance.
The bar and waiters work very hard, and again a special mention to Kamal, Ahmed and Sherif who took care of us at the Beach bar all of the 2 weeks. At the pool bat there was a great guy by the name of Lofty, who always made sure we had a drink, and supplied us with tables and chairs, however busy it was.
The biggest thank you, we both have is to Maja who works in customer relations. She was always available to help, and to have a chat on the beach.
The both trips we went with Thomas Cook which were the boat trip to Mahmia and the safari adventure were amazing.
The negative comments written by some people for this hotel is totally uncalled for, and please ignore.
We both had an amazing holiday at this hotel, and would love to return. A huge thank you again to Sunrise.

The hotel is much grander and more beautiful than it first appears to be from the outside. They have really paid attention to detail inside, beautifully decorated- you really feel like you are in a classy place. I believe there are seven floors but it has personal touches and does not feel like there are great distances from your room to all of the access point, restaurants, beach etc. We found that our room was spotless and really couldn't find fault in it at all. Having stayed for eleven days we were more than comfortable and content in our lovely ... double room with a fantastic balcony! There was a variety of guests, we met mainly Russian and German guests- the staff are extremely well educated and can speak fluently with a surprising amount of nationalities. read more

We was very happy with the friendly welcome we got, straight for our meal that was left open for us as our flight was delayed. Food was excellent, my daughter is a veggi and I have a medical condition so have to be carful what I eat and we both put weight on, thee was always something different to choose from and we enjoyed it. The room was a standard room but was higher than my expectations and comfortable for our stay. They was very helpful at a few things we asked for, like extra pillow, more water and toilet ... paper. We rang for new batteries in the safe and the manager came 5mins later.we didn't even have time to go out of the hotel as they was always something to do, animation team fab aheam Gemma and teato especially and never forget Tarzan with volly ball lol. We also met some lovely people so bonus. Over all I would recommend this hotel and I will be returning thank you sunrise for a lovely week. read more

We had a fantastic 2 weeks, from the friendly but efficient welcome through to the ease of checkout. The room was everything it needed to be with free safe, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, large shower and decent size TV with enough English speaking channels for when we needed to escape the heat. I suffered from a few bites (as I always do)and within 10 minutes of mentioning this to the rep, the room was sprayed, problem solved with no fuss. The animation team were great, even if you didn't participate in activities, they always found time to speak to you ... and check that you were having a good time, especially Obama and Frankie, though Gemma and Cancan also deserve a mention. Lofty at the pool bar, and the young waiter at the A la carte were fantastic too.
There is no need to leave the hotel as it has a range of shops, where there is no hassle at all, though there are a few shops and cheap bars (with Sky Sports) nearby if you want to stretch your legs. We will return here, no doubt. read more

I would totally recommend this hotel to all, very friendly staff. Very clean hotel. The food there I'd great and you can choose from different restaurants. The entertainment in the hotel are brilliant always there to help you and put a smile on your face at all times. Look for Gemma and Tito they are the best of the best and made my holiday brilliant. After having such a good holiday there I will be returning very soon and will use this hotel in the future.
Also entertainment is on all through the day then continues later on the evening ... which iv never seen at other hotels. There are quite a few that work in the animation team there which is great but as I say look for Gemma and Tito they were my favourites and will make your stay there amazing!! read more

The hotel is in a good location. A 15 minute walk to the Marina and there are some shops outside of the hotel. Things are a lot cheaper if you walk to these rather than pay the hotel shop prices. The animation team go the extra mile to interact with guests and make them enjoy their time. Tito is one of those people who you only need to look at and he will make you smile, guaranteed. Gemma, an English girl working with the animation team was great too. All very polite and funny!! read more
