Rested in this hotel 3 people (me, wife and daughter 16 years old) from 06/22 to 07/06/2012. We liked the hotel. The staff at the hotel are welcoming and friendly. Russians are treated exactly the same as everyone else.
Sea and beach:
The hotel is located in a bay, so the sea is VERY clean, there has never been a wave. The sea temperature is approximately 27-28C, but it is refreshing. The air temperature was 33-35C degrees and a light breeze was blowing, but it was hot. The sea is cleared of corals and algae up to 1.5 m, but at a depth there are still stones with sea urchins. The entrance to the sea is sandy, but in a small area there are stones on the shore. (See photos to the review) I think that sea shoes are not needed. We saw a stingray and a snake fish a couple of times, that's all, so if you want to look at the fish, you'd better go to Sharm el-Sheikh
Hotel territory:
The territory is huge, well-groomed, green. There are places to walk both inside and outside the hotel.

There is a promenade in front of the beach that passes through other hotels. There are a huge number of pools on the territory of about 6 pieces. There is a pool with slides for children. There is a "relax" pool for ultra all inclusive and VIP clients, where children under 15 are not allowed. The hotel is in the desert. You can get to the city by ordering a taxi at the hotel, the cost is $ 30 in both directions or by Shuttle Bus 5 € per person. We ordered a taxi. There was a normal, clean car, and she, by agreement, took us back from Hurghada. We are in Hurghada for the second time, so there was no desire to go to the city. But if this is your first time, then it is better to take a city-type hotel Sea Star Beau Rivage, because of course you can get from Sun Rise, but it is long and expensive.
Nutrition :
The food is varied and fresh. They gave a lot of meat (chicken, beef in various versions) and there was also plenty of fish. For lunch and after dinner they gave ice cream for everyone.
There were stomach problems, but they can be avoided (do not eat unfamiliar food and do not drink a lot of alcohol). Meals are for 2 weeks. There were days of Indian, Egyptian, international cuisine. On fish days they gave various fish, squid, crabs. There were enough fruits: watermelons, melons, grapes, peaches, apricots, plums, dates. There is a diet table where they serve regular rice (not undercooked), vegetables made without salt and oil. There is a children's restaurant, there is a blender, a kettle and a bottle warmer. Breakfast is standard as in all hotels (scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, buns, donuts were constantly made for breakfast). Many write that cooks give out pancakes, donuts, meat for dinner is limited, nothing like that, you can say how much you need - they will put as much for you. There were almost no problems with tables, because the restaurant is very large, the only thing was not a big tension with tables for lunch, because.
a lot of families with small children go to the opening of the restaurant and delay the meal. Waiters work in the restaurant, they bring drinks, but you can take any drink yourself absolutely freely. Bottled water is provided, there is no limit on the number of bottles. You can have lunch and breakfast in the main restaurant, Mediterranean and some other. We went to the a la carte Arabic restaurant. We liked. Interesting atmosphere, delicious food that is not repeated with the main restaurant. In a la carte, you can choose your own dishes from the menu (appetizers, first, second, side dish, dessert). This is the best a la carte we've been to.

Animation:

Active, but not annoying animation. Funny boys . If you do not want, then no one will pull you by the hand. We can’t say anything about children’s animation, because there are no small children.
Number:
The room is large, spacious, we took a room for 2 adults and an extra bed.
The balcony is nice with chairs and a table you can go out to read and just sit and enjoy the view. The cleaning of the room was normal, there was no sand underfoot, and the bathroom was also clean. A couple of times they left the dollar, but it does not significantly affect anything. The bathroom is normal, spacious, though the bath itself, that is, there was no trough, but there was a shower lined with marble. We were completely satisfied with this option.
We can’t say anything about excursions, we didn’t go anywhere.
I wish you a pleasant stay.
