👳🏾♂️ Salem's Honest Review
If you walked into Sunrise Romance blindfolded, you might think you woke up in a boutique hotel in Italy or Nice. The architecture is stunning—grand columns, fountains, and a sense of "old world" luxury that stands out from the typical sprawling Egyptian resorts.
This is NOT a party hotel. It is designed specifically for couples who want to hold hands, drink good wine, and stare at the sea in peace. The location in Sahl Hasheesh means you have the 12km promenade right at your doorstep, perfect for sunset walks or cycling.
My insider tip: Book a "Swim-Up Suite" if you can. It transforms the holiday from "great" to "unforgettable honeymoon level."
📍 The Location
Situated in the heart of Sahl Hasheesh. Unlike hotels in Hurghada center, here you have silence, no traffic noise, and direct access to the Old Town (Arrivals Piazza) with its colored fountains.
🍽️ The Dining
Six restaurants, and honestly? They are above average to excellent. The Manohar (Indian) is a standout—authentic spices, not "tourist curry". The Italian restaurant has genuine pasta authenticity.
🏖️ The Beach
Private sandy beach just across the promenade. Service is top-tier: staff will bring your drinks to your sunbed before you even realized you were thirsty.
The Real Pros & Cons
✅ Why You'll Love It
- 💎 Sophisticated Vibe: No loud animation teams screaming at the pool.
- 🚶 Promenade Access: You aren't stuck in the hotel; you can walk for miles safely.
- 🥘 Food Quality: High standards, especially the à la carte dinners.
- 👑 Service: The staff memorize your drink order by day two.
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
- 📉 Small Pool: The main pool is elegant but not "Olympic size". It's for dipping, not laps.
- 🏝️ Beach Road: You do cross the pedestrian promenade to get to the sand (1 minute walk).
- 💵 Price: It's pricier than most Hurghada resorts (but worth it for the peace).
Common Questions (FAQs)

Is Sunrise Romance truly adults-only?
Yes, strict 16+ policy. You will not find children's pools, kids' clubs, or baby chairs here. The atmosphere is curated for adults seeking tranquility.
How far is Sunrise Romance from Hurghada Airport?
It is approximately 25 minutes (22km) south of Hurghada International Airport. It's a smooth drive, further than the city hotels but much quieter.

Can I swim in the sea right in front of the hotel?
Yes, the beach has a sandy entry. Sahl Hasheesh bay is protected, so the water is generally calm and swimmable year-round, unlike some windy spots further north.
🎩 The "Grand Suite" Upgrade
If you are celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, email the hotel in advance. They often provide a complimentary cake or room decoration. However, for the best experience, upgrade to the Swim-Up Suite—having your own pool access straight from the terrace is the ultimate luxury here.
