" Return Visit "
Submitted By: davidc4567
My wife & I came here last year for our annual holiday and to coincide with my birtday in July, hot but then what do you expect.. We had a junior suite and found the hotel/staff excellent, with little birthday touches, cakes,parties, staff salutes - brilliant.We have spent 40 years touring the globe and this was up with the best, and half the distance of most of our holidays.
We had just started fostering and left our two girls with other carers because our holiday had been booked prior to them having arrived.
They saw the pictures - never having had a holiday in their lives - let alone 5* - were gobsmacked - we vowed to give them the chance and booked again for this year.
We have just returned - they were blown away and we were not far behind, Mohammed and his staff in the restaurant were as good as ever. The Italian restaurant produced food of such good quality that even our granddaughter who "doesn't eat", came home with the beginnings of a spare tyre, the new barbeque area proved hugely successful.
We have been in 5* accomodation where it is so starchy that even the adults dare not sneeze, this is 4-5* with good accomodation/food , excellent service, comfortable and with all expected facilities. 4 Pools ,slides & all inclusive tit-bits for the kids, find better/more relaxing site/accomodation.

Advice: The new Riviera.Less bites and insect problems than most resorts.
Activities: Hard Rock Cafe was a must - not especially good value, but high on the list of must do's.

" heaven "
Submitted By: sandybanks
realy this hotel is heaven, it has manicured, peaceful, beautiful gardens especially at night, it is lit up. the food is excellent. it is wonderful for snorkelling, diving, beautiful yoga on the beach to the most hipnotic music you have ever heard. belly dancing on the beach, which let me tell you draws an audience to the participants, and men and women boys and girls, get there cameras and just simply enjoy the sheer rhythm and the harmonious feeling that, would you believe belly dancing brings, it is not, like i thought, something out of the carry on films. it truly is just something lovely. the holiday brought me out of my terrible, physical and mental stress and for want of a better phrase ill health. there is fun and entertainment to a very high and proffesional standard. do not hesitate to book this hotel and do go on the trip to cairo and to st catherines monastry, you will see the pyramids and be transfixed at st catherines, the tour guides are over the top in their knowledge and passion of ancient egyptions. by the way the large wicker topped beach restaurant venue, for lunch or evening oriental food, is delightful. please go and you will feel like me, upon your return, elated and revived.
Advice: yes
Activities: cairo, and st catherines

" Great time was had. "
Submitted By: daffydilly58
My only reason for not giving the hotel 10 was the repitition of the food, on saying that the fod that we had was good but the service was incredible and I would certainly give 10 for the service alone, this could make the hotel a 5 star although I would rate it more a 3+. I have to mention the staff from the gardeners to the managers, they are all so incredibly polite, always smiled and could never do enough for you, just to point out 2 in particular, our waiter Ibrahim, what a joy he was and also the restauratn manager Sharif, I cannot praise them highly enough.
Our only disappointment has nothing to do with the hotel or the staff but with the arrogance, greed, rudeness and ignorance of the Russian contigent that thought it was their right to be served first and to be waited on, they seemed to think the Hotel was soley for them..WRONG..the waiters had thick skin when it came to them, thank goodness. So if you can just ignore that lot then you will be in for a fantastic holiday with fantastic people.
One more thing I have to point out, we were there for Christmas and as Egypt is a muslim country we were not expecting much,boy were we wrong, they went out of their way to provide a fabi Christmas including a fabulous Christmas Eve Gala Dinner..SUPERB>

" Excellent Hotel "
Submitted By: michelle & andy
We stayed in this hotel from 18th Dec to 25th Dec and had a fantastic time. This hotel is spread over a large area and it is kept immaculately clean. The staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough for you. This was our fifth visit to sharm but the first to this hotel and we really enjoyed every minute!
The food was excellent and there was always a variety of different food to choose from. We had breakfast in the main restaurant which is split into two parts, one side being non-smoking, which we found better as it was not so packed and there was always plenty of tables available. They have a separate cooking area aswell, which has all the same food as the main part. There is also a beach bar, pool bars one which does pizza, burgers and chips all day til late at night. There is also Fatimas at the beach which does lunch but you need to book at night.
The snorkelling at the beach is fantastic, the hotel has its own reef with plenty of fish to see!
The hotel put on a christmas party on christmas eve which was fantastic! They built a marquee and decorated it all for christmas, the tables were all in red and white with bottles of wine, they had built a stage and put on a show, it was amazing! Everyone was so nice, all the hotel managers greeted the guests as we were shown to the party, they all wish you a merry christmas, even the waiters, gardeners, cleaners and security staff!! Everywhere you go the hotels are decorated with christmas trees, santas, fairy lights, reindeer!! its a lovely place to visit for a christmas break!
The weather was very hot during the day, we spent most days by pool 4 right by Fatimas restaurant, which was handy for lunch! Although it does go cold at night, so take trousers and jackets!
After our evening meal we would sit around the pool bar where the staff there are great especially Omar and Fathy! The staff are so friendly towards you and like to talk to you and have a laugh, especially if you're english!
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. We have stayed in the Concorde next door, and thoroughly enjoyed that, although their a/i finishes at 11pm, whereas the Sunrise is 24hr, if you want it that is!
There is a new shopping area built outside the hotel which is all part of the Savoy on the other side of the Sunrise, there are restaurants, shops and an ice skating rink along there to, its called Soho Square and was lovey to walk around at night after our evening meal.
We will definitely be going to this hotel again!!

" it was our second holiday to this... "
Submitted By: the mad house!
it was our second holiday to this hotel so we were really looking forward to our stay. It was really, really hot! There were 13 of us in total youngest being 10 months and oldest 51 ! The food was much better than in 2006, they seem to be catering more for the brits than the russians NOW! I do have to say that 10 from our group were ill with tummy problems, some of which were really bad!!! we took our 10 month old to the onsite doc who told us it was some gastric virus. he charged 50 euros plus medicine £6. We were told to keep him out of the pool and out of aircon ! It did seem to work within hours! The supermarkets in the area were a major rip off! They make their prices up according to what they think they can get out of you, we actually witnessed them doing it! One of the things that had changed the most was the staff , they were so friendly in 2006, but this time about 1/3 of them were really rude to you if you didn't tip them EVERY TIME you asked them for anything! I don't mind tipping for somthing thats deserved but they really did expect it all the time. I am so sad as this held so many good memories from our first holiday there. I don't think i'll be trying it again for a few years.

Submitted By: Miss H Webster
nice hotel. very clean nice pools and thats about it that was nice
Food for awful, evening meal was like a school dinner hall and you had to fight for a table.
Evening entertainment was 2 strange people singing terribly this was the same every night.
Had to fight for a sunbed round the pool. you could always get one on the rock beach but it was far to hot down there.
Moved to the rotana hotel after 3days which was heaven.

" Having read some of the other reports... "
Submitted By: Mr M YOUNG
Having read some of the other reports we attended the resort with some apprehension, but were we surprised, the rooms were clean and more than adequate for use, the air conditioning was the best we have ever had in this country or abroad( with the temp in the 40s needed.), The restaurants were good and provided a good choice each day for each meal, at no meal time did we find that their was nothing to choose from, the staff were helpful and polite at all times, even the hardworking little man by the activity pool who seemed to work endlessly from 7.30am until gone 8pm, the only regret I have is that i did not stay for two weeks, very good value for money. A big well donde to all the staff and management at the SUNRISE ISLAND

the hotel was brilliant i went with my boyfreind in october and it was still really warm the pools and the service their are amazing but the entertainment really let me down i was back in the hotel by like 10.30 of an evening so it can be boring but you can take a taxi into the town centre for around £6 we only went for a week and it was just enough we went scuba diving quadbikeing through the desert to meet the bedouin people and of course snorkeling wich most people wher doing it was fantastic i would reccommend it.

the accommodation is still as excellent. The staff cant do enough for you. There
is a great choice of food in the main restaurant plus you can book the italian
a la carte or "Fatimas" Lebanese/Egypt food which is mainly barbacued food but excellent.
They had a new annimation team this year which was not as good as last and the acts were repeated from last year so for this reason we wouldnt go back but would defininately recommend it anyone who hasnt been before. There are 4 pools, 2 noisy and 1 quiet pool. Get up early to put your towel down though. There is also a pool near the beach.
The beach is hot and sticky and a way from the jetty but the fish and the snorkelling are super. They have a shuttle bus on an evening into Naarma Bay which is 3.3 egypt pds. each and also just outside the hotel is a road full of up market shops, a stage which offers
entertainment, a chinese, an indian (not recommended) Ukrain. The prices are ok the chinese looked the best food. There is an "english style pub" but very expensive - stick to Sekora Gold. Say hello to Mr. Salama - manager of the food and beverages.
Advice: Great place
Activities: Fatimas Restaurant, Glass bottom boat
