Just returned from a fantastic holiday at Sultan gardens. The hotel was fantstic. The rooms are large and very very clean, we enjoyed the food in the main restaurant and a visit to the Italian is definately a must. The snacks at the pool bar and beach bar were good, salad, potatoes, pasta, fruit etc and the bread was always fresh and very tasty. All the pool areas are nice, we liked the relaxation pool but if you enjoy a bit more entertainment the large pools were great. The childrens pool with the slide was lovely and shaded and perfect for families with smaller children

The beach is narrow but we always managed to get a sun lounger and parasol, the staff at the beach and pool areas were fantastic, in fact all the staff in the hotel were just so frieldly we could not fault anything.

I snorkeled for the first time in my life and at 50 something what a fantastic experience, the fish and the coral are amazing. The sea is lovely and warm.

We enjoyed it so much we are looking to go back in October, anyone lucky enough to be going in the near future I am sure you will have a wonderful time.

You lucky lot, wish i was going back, have you emailed Basal for the airport pick up, it was very good, also we asked for a sea view and got one, I know you will have a fantastic time, please say hi to Abdel Rhaman in the main restaurant (the bit outside that looks like a huge tent) the waiters there are so lovely.

Yeah will do!

Have arranged airport transfers, also it is my daughters 9th birthday while we are there and Basel said they will sort something out for her!!

We have asked for a ground floor room, we have booked a junior suite, is there a good block to ask for?

Hi Jools

Thanks so much for your really helpful post - we are off to Sultan Gardens in 21 days and really cant wait. It was posts like yours that helped us to choose this hotel. It will be our first holiday in five years - just need to sort insurance etc and will be sorted!

Thanks again

Hi Julie

I enjoyed your review. We're off on Sunday, our first time to Sharm and cant wait.

Can I just ask you abouth the Italian restaurant please? Its my boyfriends birthday the day after we arrive and I was wondering whether to email the hotel and request a booking for the Italian as I've heard it is really special. Would you recommend this or is the normal restaurant just as nice. Also I've heard that you have to pre-book the set meal and wondered what they offer on the menu.

Also one other question about your visit. I too will be snorkelling for my first time, like you and wondered if you bought the snorkel and mask here or over there.

Thanks again
