We went to sultan beach in August 2009. After reading a lot of reviews on tourist sites, I was very surprised that half of them were bad. I would like to ask those who did not like what else they expect from Egypt? in Egypt, and if you choose from 4 in Hurghada, then it justifies the assessment. Now I want to evaluate the hotel point by point:
About the rooms: First of all, how do you eat and if you have a standard room, you will be offered a room with a sea view for an additional fee. I will say not to see you right away! There is no good sea view in the hotel! do not take rooms on the 2nd floor overlooking the street! Firstly, there is a common balcony (it seemed to me a minus), secondly, cars constantly drive and honk (in Egypt this style of driving), thirdly, in the morning, a mule sings nearby, which at 7 o'clock is not especially happy.
The furniture in the room is mediocre. I won’t say that it’s old but not new either. TV with 3 Russian channels and a handy wardrobe. Nice bathroom.

About the beach and the pool: Many complain that the hotel does not have a sea, this is already an amateur. On the contrary, I really liked it. First there is a lagoon, shallow, warm and in which there is no living creature! present with sea urchins, fish and colder and clearer water.
Swimming pool. A good pool of medium size and it also has a mini pool for children and a bar. The pool is always all foreigners because they almost never swim in the sea.
Food: To be honest, in general, food in all of Egypt is not tasty! But this is my personal opinion, because as they say, there are no comrades for the taste and color. I would rate the hotel kitchen at 3+.
Breakfast: scrambled eggs and pancakes are prepared for you, a wide variety of buns, tea, coffee, salads, cereals with milk, melon in syrup and vegetables.
Lunch: Most of all I liked how they serve lunch. Usually it’s 2 soups to choose from, several side dishes, battered fish (like chikins in McDonald’s with us) which I really liked! Meat, salads, vegetables and a lot of sweets (already a whole table) , and very often gave watermelons.
Dinner: Grilled dishes, salads, side dishes, cakes, vegetables.
About drinks: In all bars and in the dining room. Pepsi, fanta, sprite and soda, as well as juice, which I really don’t recommend to you! (like UPI) and local alcohol rum, whiskey, beer . . And another whole day in bars 2 snacks on the beach.
Staff and animation. I’ll tell you right away the hotel is in principle for youth recreation, as it is described in the price list. There are not very many children. On the beach you can take 1 free windsurfing lesson (which I highly recommend! ) In the evening, an evening program that lasts a week, then repeats. It includes Miss Sultan contests (I advise girls to participate. I won, they gave me a delicious cocktail), the best couple, oriental dances , dancing with a skirt, playing drums, and at the end of the program there is a disco. I didn’t like it because of the lack of Russian music and the cramped atmosphere. Well, in general, the animators are good when we went there was Aga, Kazho and Tito, funny guys always smile and chat!

About the rest of the staff: I didn’t like the reception, but if you ask for something, they will always do it. Pay attention to the guy who changes money! I want to warn you that he always cheats with the exchange rate, and didn’t give us money. we complained about him and they returned everything he told us about. In general, there is a bank in the hotel building, only it works in the afternoon, until 10 o'clock. Cleaners, waiters and bartenders are good.
In general, I liked the rest in this hotel! The contingent is mainly from Germans, Poles. There are not very many Russians. There were people from the USA and Brazil. There is a free Safe and Wi-Fi in the lobby, so you can take a laptop with you and surf the Internet.
