Very nice all in hotel with outstanding service and very friendly personell overal. Food is very tasty but western inspired. When the evening theme is local (Egypt style) I enjoyed it even more because it's there home cuisine and you taste it in the seasoning. Pools are well spread over the complex, you never have a crouded feeling and the beds are super comfortable. Rooms and beds are good quality and airco works perfectly if you want to cool down extra. Would definetly come back here.

My partner and I stayed here the first two weeks of March. The hotel was immaculate, clean, tidy and great facilities. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. Very quiet being adult only and several pools to choose from. Food was what you would expect although we were led to believe from the brochure that there is a vegetarian/ vegan section of the main restaurant which was untrue. There is a Vegan A la Carte. The staff noticed I didn't have a lot of food at meal times and asked why, explained that I was vegetarian and they offered to make anything. I had a lovely vegetable curry but it was nearing the end of th holiday. Trips with the rep were ridiculously expensive, £66 per person, we were told by the TUI rep it was adult and Brit's only. We were not told about a hire charge for snorkelling equipment costing £15 per person, and our boat had children, French, Dutch and German people on the boat. We were also told there was a late boat trip pick up which was also untrue with 1.5 hour wait at the Marina. The transport from the airport to the hotel upon arrival was awful: a mini bus van with staff carrying cases up onto the roof! Didn't feel safe going over speed ramps as you could hear the luggage moving around! My hand luggage was 'lost' but was returned to me that night. Long waits in the A La Carte restaurants but spoke to staff at quality control meeting and this was rectified before we left. Quality control were generally very attentive but once or twice did not appear to listen by dismissing comments/ feedback (this was in the chinese and via telephone during one of the frequent calls to see if everything was ok) Location was not great, nothing within walking distance and half an hour taxi ride to the Soho square and 10 minutes to the Old Market. This was main criticism as the hotel, facilities and staff were fantastic. Great if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday. If you prefer a bit more to do then a week is sufficient.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
Booked a 10 night, all inclusive, stay directly with the resort and not through a tour operator. The staff are fantastic..... genuinely sincere in wanting us to be happy throughout our stay. Rooms very clean with super comfy beds. As for dining..... the main “buffet” restaurant has lots of tasty variety and we especially liked the Asian(Chinese) and Egyptian restaurants. Only disappointment for us was the Italian restaurant but others we met there liked it.
So, it’s a 5 star rating from us. Great resort with fabulous staff. Will we return........most probably.

Hotel is OK but not 5 stars level . Facilities are ok but they need to focus on room cleaning as quality is not good as well to pool need professional cleaners , food quality is not up to 5 star hotel& they need to hire professional chiefs to have more varieties and improve food taste as kitchen staffs don't have enough knowledge and experience seems they are newly fresh. We booked all inclusive they did not offer us the cans beverages they said it chargeable along to fresh juice

We have now returned from three nights at the hotel. An extraordinary experience, like being at home. At the reception - you are greeted "Welcome home" and indeed this is the feeling. There is a shuttle service throughout the hotel complex, and spa and plenty of people always asking for your safety and wishes We took a room with a private pool - very pampering, clean tidy and pleasant to stay We stayed on a half board - plenty of good food, for the taste of the guests, Europeans and Israelis The hotel offers travel services, explanations, a smile and lots of pampering highly recommend

Sunrise Montemare is a fantastic resort. The food is varied, drinks delicious and service unbelievable. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and given its size that is no mean feat.
The facilities are incredible, and the views across the ocean amazing. There is also a gym, tennis courts, volleyball, mini golf, waterpolo ect.
The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with satellite tv, air conditioning and a very large bathroom. Being critical, they are a bit dated, but nevertheless kept spotlessly clean by housekeeping. The terraces and balconies are well sized and most offer some sea view even when not advertised which was a nice surprise. The site that the hotel is based on is very generous in size with all the accommodation spread out with beautiful gardens or pools in between, it is a very impressive and well maintained complex .
The main reason I wrote the review is due to the service the staff provide, it’s genuinely incredible. They are attentive, positive and nothing is too much trouble. From brining you drinks on the beach, remembering all your orders, cleaning your glasses or teaching you magic tricks. The senior management are also occasionally visible and will ask for honest feedback if they approach you. There is a clear aim for improvement and accountability within the hotel, which is rare.
I’d like to give a special mention to Mahmood, he is a brilliant waiter (Charcuterie) and made our stay even more memorable.
I would say the only other issue to be wary of is the loud and often pervasive entertainment. It is noticeable for a couple of hours in the morning and problematic in the evenings. I understand that some people want it, but it was very very very loud and every other guest we spoke to found it irritating and overbearing. It would potentially stop us returning if it wasn’t addressed, the volume simply needs to be reduced to a level that wouldn’t cause permanent hearing loss.

Returned this week from a lovely weeks break here. Upgraded to a swim up room however unfortunately was not heated so couldn’t really use it (we did try 🥶) so not really worth the upgrade cost at this time of year. Still a beautiful view from the room though!
Aside from this everything was spot on, the service spectacular! Nemo Dive Centre on site was great and their day trip on a Wednesday is well worth the money, even if you don’t wish to go in the water. Very small group on a lovely sized boat...felt like a millionaire for a day sunbathing up front!
We will be back next year...not something we usually do in retiring to the same resort!
The spa is excellent and the treatments were Devine and half the cost in UK.
Only slight gripe was our bed was far too hard...however a minor point in the grand scheme of things!
You won’t be disappointed.

As a couple we stayed at the Sunrise Montemare resort for a week in March. Before I get to the hotel i think i should mention Sharm airport. To get the insurance required they have now had to increase security checks. It took is over an hour to get out of the airport but leaving Sharm it took nearly 3 hours. You need to be patient with this. Take the $20 fast track in the airport, it is well worth it to avoid queues. The hotel is clean, tidy and well presented. Staff are great in all areas of the hotel. The building itself is a 5 star hotel. Only negative is that it is not quite sharp enough. Breakfast time the staff are not setting tables quickly enough, several times i was looking for my own cutlery. Go early for breakfast to avoid this. The food was OK but only OK. There is enough choice for a week but two weeks would be a stretch. In short we had a great week and would stay at the hotel again. To take this hotel to the next level it just needs to be a bit sharper.

Very very suprised! Very kind and friendly people at the reception. They arrived us very happily and friendly! We are very happy to say that we enjoyed our stay at the Hotel. The room was stunning. It was cleaned very good everyday and the roomkeeping was asking for any issues or special wishes on a daily basis. We had a nice view with the pool at our room and had a nice sea view too. The beach and the pool was very clean and beautiful. Very kind service at pool and beach. Always friendly. You have to try snorkling there the beach and riffs are beautiful. The food in the restaurant was nice. Very different variations daily. You have to try out the different kitchens there such as basilica and chimichurri. We enjoyed the stay very much and had daily fun and entertainment with the whole sharm vita animation team. They really made our stay active and funny! Looking forward onto going back there again! -chuchichästli

Had a 7 nights stay in this beautiful holiday resort and for the first time in Egypt all I can say that we , me and my partner, had an amazing time . the sea and the coral recif is absolutely stunning and probably the best I can name so far . The resorts benefits of all possible amneties (gym , jacuzzi , shops, sauna, massage , multiple outdoor pool , on-site minibus only to name a few ) and multiple a la carte restaurants available (italian , asian , egyptian , vegetarian , stake house ) . Staff is profesional an well trained in my opinion and here I would like to name a few names that made our time more enjoyable and always delivered a 5* service and been a pleasure to be served by them : Mohamed El-Shahat and Mohamed Waly from the "Island Bar" which made me the best cocktails and iced coffee exactly the way I like it nonetheless always very happy to help and giving us the on daily basis the reception and making us familiar with the egyptian hospitality , well proffesional and guys who knew their trade and put pride in their work and would like to thank both one more time for their service and to apologise that we left in a rush and didnt manage to say goodbye . During our stay we spent more of our time on the beach where Mohamed mabroul Abd El'Teif from the "Beach Bar" was always checking upon us to make sure nothing is missing and have drinks and plenty ice and water to keep us hydrated in the torid weather which by the way I loved it and went hand in hand with the multiple daily snorkeling session .
kitchen have a huge variety when comes to choices for food , well presented as well . rooms where well clean and every day leaving us on the bed all sorts of figurine built out of towels (like crocodile , swans and one day he made up a boy which dressed with my clotghes which I found it well hilarious) again shows the skills that some of the staff benefits , think his name was Mohamed or Ali and he used to look after block 4 where we been based .
rated the stay with 5* but will give 9.5/10 because couple of the lads (the ones without engagment rings) in black shirts from the reception bar were more preocupied about eyeing single ladies and not only for flirting or maybe just to feed their ego , not good that thinking they were smart or whatever . However , thats a drop in the ocean an hopefully the management will sort this out and will align them the right standard cause its a shame
all this been said would like to thank everyone who made our stay loveable and give assurance that in the future will cross their doors again .
all the best and great business
