SUNRISE Remal Resort

So we re-visited the Sunrise Remal Resort again this June. I have to say it was another amazing and relaxing break. What is so special here is the fact that the resort is so compact. No long walks or golf carts needed, everything is in close proximity. It was nice to see old friends, familiar staff, who tend to all your needs with a smile and a laugh. They truly demonstrate the ethos of the General Manager Mr. Affy, and his investment in their well-being is so evident. There are so many to mention but Ehab, Mohammed and Alla at the pool bar were brilliant and so well supported by their manager Ahmed. It was a joy to see Bassam still at the SunRay bar, try his Bloody Marys, the best. The food here is amazing and there are choices for everyone. The A-la-Cartes do not disappoint and Mohammed, Mr Alsayed and all the staff were brilliant. The pool staff are so funny and so helpful, again nothing is too much trouble. Mohammed and Mr. Ahmed stand out. The pool guys ensured we got sprayed with the water mist in the heat and that was so refreshing. There’s always something going on, be it fruit kebabs, mocktails and brownies appearing round the pool, to specialist nights in the buffet restaurant. There’s a vibe about this place and it’s a good one, day entertainment is low key but there if you want it. There’s no pressure to take part and the entertainers make sure they chat with everyone. A big tip, try the Hammam at the spa, speak to Mohammed around the pool and he will sort for you. We missed some old faces, especially Shebl who was on holidays, but Ahmed at reception was a great help. It was good to chat with Mr. Affy, and at night Mr. Hameed always had time to chat. I think the true test of a hotel is how at ease and relaxed you feel and whether you would return. The answer to all this is yes, yes and yes. Home from home and we will always return.

After coming here in 2024, we could wait to return, and it didn't disappoint. Although some of the old faces we were hoping to see weren't there anymore, the new faces made us feel just as welcome. We were a party of 10 and had 4 rooms between us 3 of the rooms were pretty much next door and one room was a minute away as it was a larger room. Allaa and Mohammed at the pool bar kept the drinks flowing all day. Mohammed and Ahmed at the towel towel shed were brilliant, and always on had to help out. The life guards were so friendly as well especially Mohammed who manned the waterslide. He was so kind to my daughter always making time to have a chat with her. Through staff in the lobby bar were fantastic especially in the morning when I came down for a coffee. The entertainment team were friendly and approachable, it was great to see Misha who we knew from our first visit, it was a shame that we learnt halfway through our trip that he had left, however Turky who replaced him was brilliant. The pool party on Monday night was so much better than last time we were here, as they have added a few giant inflatables in. All the waiting and kitchen staff are incredible and do such a great job. A very special mention to Shebl, who arranged a wonderful evening for my wife's 40th birthday at the Egyptian A La'carte. The food was incredible and Hussien who works both there and the restaurant by the pool is brilliant and offers fantastic service.

Can't wait to return!
