El-Tur Vacations from $1,040

I stayed at this hotel with my family for six days, and everything was excellent. The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, and the food was delicious with a wide variety of options. There were also many enjoyable activities throughout the day for both adults and children. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation. The resort boasts impeccably clean rooms and swimming pools, exceptional service from friendly staff, and an extensive variety of delicious food. We highly recommend Sultan Gardens Resort and would happily stay there again."

I had coordinated for a transport from the airport but was told once I arrived that they could not accommodate us. We had to get a taxi that dropped us over half a mile from the hotel. My wife was not happy as we had to walk down a dark street with all of our luggage. The next day my daughter had come to visit and she was going to change in our room to go on a snorkeling trip. The front desk made a big deal about not allowing guests even though I offered to pay extra. The manager finally agreed to allow her to come to the room but made it clear that she couldn't eat or drink anything. I wouldn't stay here again as there are plenty of other options in the areal.

We had a really enjoyable stay overall. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and it was clear that cleanliness is taken seriously. Staff were constantly cleaning and maintaining communal areas throughout the day, which made the whole resort feel very well cared for. The staff were generally very helpful, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. Some areas are a little dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. The gym, for example, feels quite old compared to other facilities on site. The food was perfectly fine, with plenty of choice available. As a family, however, we weren’t particularly excited by the main buffet. One slight disappointment was that much of the food seemed aimed at international tastes rather than offering more local Egyptian cuisine. When travelling abroad, we personally enjoy experiencing the local food culture, so it would have been nice to see more authentic Egyptian dishes available. There are also two à la carte restaurants that guests can book once as part of the all-inclusive package, with additional visits available at an extra cost. The beach bar is a nice alternative to the main buffet, particularly because some of the food is cooked fresh to order, including items such as burgers, pizza, chicken shish, and kofta. One tip for future guests: it’s worth comparing excursion prices before booking. The Old Market is directly opposite the hotel, and we found that some of the same excursions were available locally for significantly less
