We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in December as part of a 2 week Egypt holiday. It was a nice break from all the temples and pyramids where you can laze in the sun and sand for couple of days while the hotel takes care of all your needs.

The resort is big with excellent facilities to enjoy various activities - games, entertainment, adventure sports or simply relaxing by the beach or the nice pools. Rooms are specious and well furnished. We had sea facing rooms right at the end near the beach and the view from the balconies of red sea was amazing especially during sunrise and sunset. Though some other blocks have rooms facing the pool and they can be a bit noisy at times.

Food served in the hotel is excellent with an amazing spread. We also enjoyed their Egyptian dishes.

Just across the road from the hotel is a small but nice shopping belt with good souvenir shops and couple of small food joints serving Pizzas and we enjoyed that as well. The big shopping mall - Senzo mall is also walking distance (approx 10 mins) from the hotel if one is planning to stay longer and wants to use the supermarket there to stock up.

Dear tripadvisor,
I have recently stayed at the hotels on december 11th 2012 for 2 weeks; my feedback is that both hotels were great and the sister hotel stella makadi spa, which you can use both for dining and relaxing - aswell as entertainment. The food in both hotels is excellent, english aswell as continental- very clean hotel and excellent facilities. Also fantastic for both children and adults there are six pools, water chutes, waves machines,swim-up pool bar and many acres of well-kept gardens and lawns aswell as walkways. There is plenty of space around the pools with sunbeds which aere all covered with sand to make it feel like a beach, and its about a fifteen minute walk to the beach through the grounds (whcih are all safe and private). The staff in the hotel are phenomenal, and will put theirselves out any time to ensure that you want for nothing. The bedrooms are large and spaious with beautiful views, and the bathrooms and large and luxurious with a walk in shower; there is also a wallsafe which is included in the price. I would recommend both hotels to elderly and young people with families - and will gladly go back again. It is not too comercialised, and is a relaxing environment with quality food and drink.
Yours sincerely, Mr D

my wife and i have just come back off our honeymoon, after spending two weeks at the sunrise select garden beach from the 26/11/12 to 11/12/12, we started in room 6311 that was on the second floor which had to many steps for my wife to cope with , when we told the staff they were more than happy to help and changed our room to 9103 a ground floor room.
all the staff are friendly and helpful, food is great, the rooms are great and the beach and is easy to get to and if not there is two pools 1 heated and fun and a quiet pool.
all in all excellent hotel and hope to go back.
