Sunrise Arabian Beach Resort - Posh Club

"Overall, this is a beautiful hotel, and we had a wonderful ten-night stay in August. From the moment you walk into the main reception on arrival, it really takes your breath away. Everything is finished to an incredibly high standard, and there was always a wonderful aroma throughout the reception area. On arrival, we were warmly greeted by the reception team and, after completing the necessary paperwork, were invited to have a late dinner in the buffet restaurant. The food was consistently of a good standard, with plenty of variety. My partner is pescatarian, and there was always a good choice available for her, as well as plenty of options for meat lovers. After dinner, we were given a buggy ride to our room, which was a lovely touch. The room itself was lovely on first impression. Unfortunately, the only downside was that we didn't receive the sea view we had paid extra for. This is something we will be taking up with the travel company, rather than the hotel. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard, and the fridge was regularly restocked with beer, soft drinks and plenty of water. The resort's gardens are impeccably maintained by a team of hardworking gardeners, who continue working even in temperatures reaching 40°C. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, and we loved walking around them and seeing the variety of wildlife that calls the resort home. The private beach is wonderful and perfect for snorkelling. There is a reef right along the shoreline, so the water is teeming with a diverse range of fish, which we absolutely loved. A special mention must go to M. Hamdy at the Beach Bar, who always made sure we stayed hydrated while enjoying the beach. He is a very hard worker, and we also saw him working away in the restaurant during our stay. We alternated between beach and pool days and particularly enjoyed using the 16+ pool, which was lovely and peaceful. A huge shout-out to Hassan and Youseff at the pool, who looked after us extremely well. They both work incredibly hard, and we really appreciated their friendly service and hospitality. The only real issue we experienced came on the final day of our holiday. The day before, we asked about extending our checkout time and were told that this wouldn't be a problem and that we simply needed to return after breakfast on our last day to pay a fee to extend our room until 6pm. However, when we returned the following morning, we were told that this wouldn't be possible and that we had to vacate the room by 12 noon. At this point, we hadn't even started packing, and our transfer wasn't until 6:30pm, so understandably we were quite upset by this. The member of reception staff we initially spoke to was adamant that we had to leave by midday. Thankfully, we were eventually able to speak to a manager, who was very helpful and managed to resolve the situation for us. Unfortunately, this experience took a little of the shine off what was otherwise a really good holiday and is the only reason we have given four stars rather than five. Despite this, we would still recommend the hotel. The beautiful surroundings, excellent gardens, wonderful beach and reef, good food and hardworking staff all contributed to a very enjoyable stay. With the issue on our final day aside, we had a fantastic holiday and would happily return."

"We came to this hotel for the first time with friends, and we really enjoyed our vacation here. The first thing we want to highlight is the excellent animation, amazing parties, and lots of activities. We especially loved the Odyssey party — the costumes were stunning, and the acrobat performance was incredible. It wasn’t just a party on the terrace, but a real show. We want to give a special thank you to the animator Masha, who always cheered us up. We also want to mention the great service — all the staff were very responsive and always ready to help. The food at the hotel was fantastic. The main restaurant, Nura, delighted us every day with its variety of dishes, with plenty of meat and salads. On some days, they served seafood — the grilled shrimp and crabs were incredibly tasty. The hotel grounds are also very large and beautiful, with lots of places to take a stroll."

"An absolute dream of a stay! Sunrise Arabian is exceptionally luxurious, stunningly beautiful, and impeccably clean throughout. The food was remarkably delicious with a fantastic variety that satisfied all our tastes. What truly made our trip unforgettable was the wonderful hospitality from the entire staff, especially the amazing animation team who brought so much energy, fun, and joy to our days. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly relaxing, luxurious, and entertaining getaway!"
