👳🏾♂️ Salem’s Take: 2 Hotels for the Price of 1
This is probably the best value-for-money resort in Hurghada right now. Why? Because when you book Sunrise Garden Beach, you also get access to the facilities of its neighbor, Sunrise Mamlouk Palace.
It has massive gardens (hence the name), a great new aqua park, and access to a very long sandy beach. The rooms are a bit older than Mamlouk, but the price is lower. If you don't plan on spending all day in your room, this is the smart choice. Note: You are also neighbors with the ultra-luxury Sunrise Crystal Bay, but you cannot use their facilities (it's exclusive).
Why Families Love It
New Aqua Park
They recently added a proper aqua park (Black Pearl) with 12 slides. It’s right on the beach, which is a rare setup in Hurghada.
Shared Access
You can walk next door to Mamlouk Palace to use their pools, bars, and kids' club. It doubles your holiday space.
The Gardens
The resort is green. Really green. It feels like an oasis compared to the surrounding desert. Great for evening walks with a stroller.
Detailed Assessment
✅ The Wins
- Value: You get 5-star facilities (shared with Mamlouk) for a 4-star superior price.
- Food: The "Gamila" Oriental restaurant (located at Mamlouk but accessible) serves some of the best Egyptian food in a hotel.
- Beach: It has a private jetty and a protected swimming cove. Water is generally calm.
⚠️ The Trade-off
- Older Rooms: Features dark wood furniture and classic styles. Clean, but not "modern chic".
- Distances: The resort is long. If your room is near the reception, the beach is a 10-minute walk (or a buggy ride).
Near Senzo Mall
Another huge perk: It is right across the street from Senzo Mall (Hurghada's biggest mall). You can walk there to buy SIM cards, snacks, or clothes.
Airport transfer is quick (15 mins).
Common Questions (FAQ)
Can I eat at Mamlouk Palace?
Generally, you can use the bars and pools. For dinner restaurants, it depends on your specific booking package, but usually, the A La Carte restaurants are shared between both hotels.
Are the pools heated?
Yes, the main pool and the aqua park pool are heated in winter (Dec-March). The beach water is usually okay even in winter due to the shallow cove.
Budget Smart, Holiday Luxury
