Hello everyone! I visited the hotel almost a week ago, and the memories are just starting to fade, because it was amazing))) but I have never been abroad, except for a few trips to the Rostov region. A virginally clean passport has been gathering dust in the stash for 7 years. In short, this fall, the stars in the sky finally converged correctly, and my best friend Katya and I went to Egypt. I must say right away: friends, the choice of a fellow traveler in this kind of business plays a key role, because alone, even in such a divine place as Sunrise Island Garden, you can get bored, unless you are an ultra-extrovert. I’ll immediately express a separate respect to Katerina: at that time she already managed to visit Turkey, being a broken, smart and energetic girl, she got into all aspects related to recreation with lightning speed, even without knowledge of the English language. I have an abundance of information and cultural shock at first, my head was spinning) To be honest: I was going on a trip without much enthusiasm, but in the end the results exceeded all expectations. Sunrise was advised to us by a travel agency. We bought a ticket 2 days before departure, and for those pennies (by my standards) that we paid, received, I think, all 33 pleasures. I will not dwell on the points regarding the hotel's arrangement. You can learn about this from other reviews - they are all true in some way. Let's talk about the spiritual. , heal your nerves and just change the situation-here, because this is a parallel world, virtual reality and heaven on earth in one bottle. Experienced tourists probably find it funny to read this, but staying in a different in a different part of the world, in a different climatic zone, in a Muslim state, in the end, in a society of citizens who came from various European countries - specifically, it had a magical effect on my psyche. Miracles and more! I really liked the locals - friendly and open people. It is clear that the woman there is a second-class creature, and the men are somewhat importunate and cunning, like a devil, but still their diligence and courtesy command respect. Now if someone tells me that he was treated badly in Egypt, I would rather doubt him, the complainant, human qualities.
I can talk endlessly about the good things about this trip. Of the minuses, only the following 2 things come to mind. The room was not cleaned well. , in short, it required general cleaning. And although we always left a tip, the cleaner basically monitored only the dressing of the sheets, the level of liquid soap and the removal of garbage. I have never seen swans from towels. Luckily, it didn't spoil it - they only came to spend the night.

They fed plentifully, although not very tasty (my personal opinion), since the chefs are men, and try to feed such a crowd. But experienced tourists noted that the feeding draws 5 stars. don’t take it) it was really sometimes late; the process could be accelerated with the help of a charming smile. There were quite a few European dishes on the menu - mostly unusual oriental cuisine, so somewhere on the 5th day my girlfriend and I had noticeable pains in the stomach. Upon returning home, they attacked the borscht with terrible force. reason that the assortment of dishes echoed those served in the dining room. For girls with long hair, before going to the aforementioned restaurant, I advise you to pin up your braids. The tables are located outdoors, and the wind sometimes blows your head. I didn’t like it. Oh, these male chefs)
As a summary: I don’t advise people with poor health to embark on such a voyage. In my opinion, traveling with a small child is generally insane. . And Sunrise Island is a solid chain of hotels, and besides the described minuses, everything else is one big plus! Excellent sea, reef, beach, good animation, and the location of the hotel itself is very favorable (Soho square nearby). Want to experience the oriental flavor to the fullest - take a taxi to Naama bay at night. It's unforgettable! Entertainment can be reached at Sunrise Island View: disco, live music, evening shows. In general, you will orient yourself on the spot. Thank God that there are places in the world like this hotel - we didn’t want to return home. Katerina said that after the five-star Antalya she didn’t have such a feeling. So go for it, guys!
