Just had a week at the Sunrise Winter Gardens with my wife and 2 children and absolutely loved it

Rooms were always spotlesly clean with our cleaner coming everyday and us never knowing what towel sculpture we would find on the bed..................the kids loved it !!!

Food was fineand there was always something we liked on the bufffet and in particular the BBQ at the pool bar was exellent despite us being serenaded by all the waiters and management ho had found out it was our wedding anniversary................very embarrassing for us but great for everybody else !!!!

Service was first class and we found all the staff to be extremely friendly efficient and helpful

I really don't know what some people expectations are, but from our experiece we would reccomend this hotel and we plan to go back ourselves in October

If you want to contact us to ask us about the hotel my email is clintjacobs@ntlworld.com

This hotel was, by far, the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in Egypt....for the following reasons: 1. Our bedrooms were situated almost on the airport runway, even though we asked for rooms located in a quiet part of the hotel (we have a small baby) 2. Bedroom was cleaned one day out of 2, 3. Staff pretended to understand English, but had NO clue, 4. Kids swimming pool unheated, 5. Everything is to a certain time, slides in pools closed for 3 hours during the day, children could not go on trampoline during the day, had to get off the sun lounges when told, 6. Couldn't reserve a table for us at the general restaurant - we were a group of 8 adults + 8 kids so we had to insist to sit together at lunch + dinner, 7. Arrived at 2am + told to go to the restaurant before we could have our keys....kids were exhausted... 8. Overall cleanliness around the pool was very poor, dead bird lay on the ground for some days.
I would strongly advise anyone with children to pay a little extra and go to another hotel.....

We enjoyed our stay here ,the weather was great and the staff friendly.Yes the hotel rooms were basic and needed updating but they were clean and comfortable. The food was ok, the bread and pastries were lovely.
It's best to tip the staff early on in your holiday and you will be looked after, a couple of dollers here and there does the trick.
We enjoyed snorkelling off the jetty down at the sister hotel and we went to Cairo for a day. We did this independently by booking flights before leaving Britain and getting a guide and driver from this web site for 50 dollers.We set off in the morning, saw the pyramids, sphynx and Cairo and were back in time for a swim in the pool late afternoon, job done.

My partner and I stayed in the Sunrise Island Gardens in October 06.
I have to say we both loved this hotel. We were treated like royalty our whole stay.

Staff- The staff are wonderful, so friendly and always very helpful.
We got very friendly with one of the waiters Mohammed, even went out for a night in Naama Bay with him. Also Hassan that runs the shisha den, is great too. He arranged one of our trips out on the quads privately, just my partner and I.

Rooms- Our room was fab, huge bed, and very comfy. Always kept spotless by the cleaner. Always nice aminal or flowers on our bed made with towels every day, and fresh flowers in a vase.

Food & Drink- Food was great, always a great variety, couldn't have asked for more. We also tried the italian restaurant, but didn't enjoy this as much as the buffet restaurant.
Drinks are served by the glass, cocktails are fab. Think I tried nearly every one. They are lush. Wine is also lush, and the local beer sakara is nice too.

Trips- Our stay at Surise Island Gardens was only for 1 week so we got as much trips in as possible. We went out on the quads twice, loved it so much, such fun we had.
St Catherines Monastry was a great trip also, lunch in hotel and a trip to Dahab was included in this trip. Well worth the money.

Beach- The beach is at the sister hotel just 5 minute, if that walk away. We went to the beach once during our stay. Its quite small and cramped. We prefered the hotel pool to be honest.

Hotel Grounds- The hotel grounds/gardens are lovely sublime and really well kept.

Pools- We thought the pools were great. And we were always able to get a sun lounger, no matter what time of the day we went to the pool.

Don't worry about the airport being so close, it didn't disturb us at all.
Naama Bay is a must, we loved it.

Enjoy your holiday.
