Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Sunrise Holidays Resort is an adults-only hotel for couples and friends who want a sociable beach holiday without children around. It sits on Sheraton Road in Hurghada, close to the town centre, with a private beach around a lagoon and a small island, a pool overlooking the Red Sea, several restaurants and a dive centre. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, often by name, and about the beach, the variety of food and an entertainment team that keeps the evenings lively. The drawbacks are practical rather than fundamental. A few rooms have had small faults that needed fixing, Wi-Fi is mainly a lobby affair, and the lagoon beach is sheltered rather than open coastline. The shows and parties are a plus for most guests but will not suit anyone after a hushed retreat. If you want a lively, well-run resort with the town within reach, this is a strong fit; children cannot stay.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
- Sunrise Holidays Resort is an adults-only hotel, so the pools, beach and bars are shared only with other grown-ups. It sits on Sheraton Road, about 500 metres from the town centre, which makes it easy to head out when you want a change.
- Staff are by far the most praised part of a stay. Guests name receptionists, waiters, bar staff and managers, and describe a team that goes above and beyond and solves problems with a smile. Some are already on a repeat visit.
- A few guests reported things that needed fixing in their room, such as a fridge that did not work or a bathroom fault, and in one case the repair took longer than expected. Report problems early.
- The beach sits on a sheltered lagoon. Most guests love it, but one would have liked more natural beach access, so it suits swimmers and sunbathers more than anyone hoping for an open stretch of coast.
