Is Sultan Beach Hotel Egypt worth staying at? Honest review

Food is generally varied and tasty, with the on-site bakery/pastry shop singled out as excellent. The pier and pontoon are good, and the beach is long. The kids' club is great but paid and pricey.

The main restaurant feels more like a canteen — constant noise from guests and dish carts, with almost no table service even when tipped. In contrast, service at the adult pool is good (e.g. a husband was regularly brought beer in an ice bucket). The family room costs only slightly more than standard but turns out spacious, with two separate rooms.

Guests assigned to building 2000 confirmed they got the sea-view room they booked, with no odor issues in the room. Because the hotel's areas are spread out, crowds are mainly noticeable only at dinner time.

Recent food feedback suggests you probably won’t go hungry, but you shouldn’t expect anything elaborate: meals are considered adequate, though some guests felt the fruit selection and simple items like fries and breakfast cereal were limited.

The hotel runs at low occupancy since March, even during holidays, so rooms are spacious and uncrowded. It's strictly a relaxation resort — no nightlife or entertainment on-site. For activities, grab an InDrive taxi to Soho Square.

The hotel stands out for exceptional cleanliness — staff regularly scrub railings, windows, and veranda chairs, not just rooms. Food is good, and the guest atmosphere is calm and friendly with no rowdy crowds.

Rated as the cleanest hotel visited across multiple trips. No issues whatsoever during the stay — service, food, and fellow guests all met expectations.
