Location and rating

The hotel Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * is located in the coastal city district of Hadaba, towering above the Old City, which is only three kilometers away from it, and, of course, over the water area of the Red Sea. From here, you can enjoy chic panoramic sea scenery. Resorts tell: the sea view from the room windows is so original that it seems that the hotel itself is in the middle of its waters. The famous Frenchman Jacques Yves Cousteau, a famous traveler, introduced these lands into the top ten of his personal ranking of the most beautiful places on Earth. As you know, the highlight of the bay of Ras Um El Sid (and here is the beach of the first-line hotel we are considering) are unique coral reefs with the richest underwater world.

It's no surprise that Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * is of interest to such legible travelers in the service as Italians and Germans. Some of them regularly spend their vacations here. By the way, lodgers from Italy are traditionally the most in this hotel complex. Therefore, this animation is mostly in Italian. However, the Russian language staff understands and tolerably talks on it. It's strange that in this five-star hotel with very economical prices, there are relatively few people living in Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, we will try to talk about this hotel network Sunrise Resorts & Cruises.

Club hotel

The hotel housing estate is the main three-story hotel building, as well as 11 three-story buildings smaller. These aesthetic snow-white buildings with semicircular windows, columns and arches are made in the Ottoman style. All this architectural ensemble was built in 2007. According to the holidaymakers, it remains a stable feeling of a single eastern palace. Numerous walking terraces are laid on the territory of the hotel, comfortable grounds for rest are equipped. Around them - designer green spaces. The feeling of "homeliness" is already on the first acquaintance with him, because the reception of the Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * (Sharm el Sheikh) is not located at the entrance to it from the street, but on the inside. To it it is necessary to pass on an entrance terrace.

The hotel complex itself is not just on the first line, but also on the dais. Therefore, a chic sea panoramic landscape opens even from its windows on the ground floor.

The hotel area is extensive. It is structured around three outdoor pools and stylishly landscaped with two kinds of palm trees, well-groomed flower beds, exotic plants. Holidaymakers enjoy walking on beautiful terraces with pleasure. You can see for yourself how harmoniously designed the territory of Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. The map of the club hotel, which is shown below, shows its infrastructure.

The main pool is equipped with water heating, which significantly contributes to the comfort of the holidaymakers during the cool season. At a depth of 1.7 meters, it has a large aesthetic water mirror of complex shape, decorated with neat bridges and an island with palm trees. Guest reviews indicate that it is well maintained, safe, with crystal clear and always warm water. It is preferred by the amateurs of swimming, it holds lessons on water polo. On the beach, near his water bowl, under the guidance of trainers, regular groups are engaged in aerobics, gymnastics, dances, and yoga.

The middle pool is not for athletes, but for bathers. Resorts in the reviews say that lounge lovers gather here who like to relax, reading in the shade, snacking and pridmyvaya. Near it there is a bar.

The third pool is family, it is also heated and is the most compact of the three. It is located at the main building of Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. It provides a children's section, and nearby, to the joy of the children, equipped playgrounds.

Around the pools there are wide terraces for rest, landscaped with sun loungers and sun umbrellas.

There are also special areas for beach volleyball and tennis. However, to use them really only in the evening, when they become paid, because the sun of Sharm El-Sheikh is quite uncompromisingly during the day, which is natural for a desert climate. Diving is a much more pleasant form of active recreation, which we will discuss later.

Rooms of the hotel

According to the hotel suites, we can conclude that the rest by the type of classic is the essence of the pension in Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. Sharm El-Sheikh in the segment of the bay of Ras-Um-El-Sid is peculiar to such a positioning of the resort business. Vacationers subtly distinguish the advantages of this hotel complex over the notorious economy class. Even the area of the standard hotel room - 44 square meters - indicates a special attitude towards customers. And 60 family rooms in size resemble apartments rather than hotel suites. All in all, the hotel has 438 rooms. From windows 367 of them have a view of the sea, and the remaining 71 - on the territory of the basins.

The staff of the hotel complex daily changes the guests and bed linen, and towels for new ones. Rooms are also cleaned daily.

The hotel rooms are renovated, they are air-conditioned. The ceilings are high, with aesthetic hinged elements. The walls and ceiling are painted in monochromatic pastel beige color, very light. The floor is ceramic. Furniture made of natural wood, low. The design is open, a lot of free space. Instead of cabinets cluttering the space, there are built-in pantry for clothes and things. (This is how Spanish designers like to design.) However, there remains the impression of an oriental style from the design of Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. (Sharm el-Sheikh, after all, the Sheikhs Bay, designers follow the general trend of the resort.) This effect is achieved thanks to a warm pastel range and a single unobtrusive and aesthetic oriental pattern of decorative elements (curtains and thick curtains, a specific ornament of numerous pseudo-screens , Exposition niches in the walls). Room lighting is professional, creating the effect of a soft uniform "milk" light, pleasing to the eye, not casting sharp contrasting shadows from interior items.

Bathroom and balcony

Separately, let's talk about the bathroom used by the guests of Hotel Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. It can be divided into 3 parts. In the opposite side of the entrance to the bathroom there is a spacious universal shower. There is also a dryer, as well as a shelf for bath towels. All plumbing is new and works perfectly, ensuring proper pressure and temperature of hot water.

Closer is the bathroom complete with a brush and flushing device. On the wall - paper holders, at the opposite wall - floor scales. Directly at the bathroom door is a modern wall-sink with a combined large mirror. One part reflects in kind, and the other - increases. There are two towels for the face. In the basket that is standing on the sink, the hotel maintains a constant presence of detergents: two shower gels, a hair shampoo, soaps. Also, vacationers in the same kit is provided with a shower cap and a pair of double hand wipes.

The balconies in the rooms of the Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * (Sharm el Sheikh) are spacious and equipped with a compact plastic table and armchairs. They are pleased to spend leisure time, read, admiring the beauty of seascapes.

Beach

As the soil here is rocky (the hotel is located on a rock, and the terraces from it cascade down to the sea, which is typical for the coast of Ras Um Sid), then the hotel beach has a non-natural origin. It is poured, sandy, very neat and well maintained. Fully equipped with mattresses, umbrellas, chaise lounges. They, along with beach towels, are given free of charge to the owners of bracelets from Sunrise Select Diamond Beach Resort 5 *. Reviews of the visitors about it are positive. However, there is a wish to the administration to expand it. Places by the sea have to borrow in the morning. Still, for a club hotel it is desirable that the beach was larger.

To get full pleasure from swimming, it is advisable to take with you flippers, a mask and a camera. Suitable and ordinary, digital, but in a special waterproof case. (The latter can be bought or rented.) The entrance to the water is from the hotel plastic pontoon. And the depth begins immediately, and it is rather big (about 30 m - immediately from the pontoon). Agree, it is unusual to swim and look in the mask down, as if looking from the mountain. (Note that the water here is crystal clear.) At the bottom, strange corals grow and coral fish of various sizes float. There are countless numbers of them.

If you enter the water not from the pontoon, but where its depth over the corals is more, it is desirable to use rubber slippers. And then more experienced swimmers can swim to the reef near the hotel "Ritz". There, the underwater world is even richer.

We strongly recommend that tourists who have visited Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * beforehand take a few diving lessons. The hotel instructor is a person who is really knowledgeable and qualified. Even if you are an experienced diver and comfortably swim at a depth of 30 m, you still get good advice. However, deciding to dive, do not forget the immutable rule of diving: you should dive only in pairs. Do not forget about safety at depth.

For beginners swimmers and children, rest in the hotel pools is preferable. There they bathe, they swim in the Red Sea. This is the difference.

The underwater world of the Red Sea

Contemplation of what inhabitants of the Red Sea can enjoy a holiday in Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * (Sharm el-Sheikh)? The photo posted in the article will be the answer to this question.

Resorters pay much attention in their reviews to rest at sea. They are amazed that the depth in the near water area of the beach is up to 30 meters. You can, of course, look at the underwater world from the surface of the water. However, if there are skills of diving in the aqualung, then the visitor will have stronger sensations, obtained by direct contemplation of corals and fish. And if a holidaymaker in the Red Sea withdraws a real underwater photo shoot, then the memory will remain for a longer time.

How do customers describe their impressions of the dive? Adult people seem to turn into children. They enthusiastically write about colored fish, as if from an aquarium, but, of course, more. And the underwater world is really colorful. Reminds us familiar to the scalar fish plaix.

Such contrasts can be seen only in the Red Sea. Corals are scurryed with colorful parakeet fish. The surgeon fish is very beautiful (do not be afraid, it is not aggressive, its tail and fins are really sharp, the upper fin and tail are electrically colored, and the lateral fins are yellow). Original bright and feathery fishes. There are also bigger fish: moraines, stingrays, barracudas. Indeed, a lot of impressions are connected with the resort guests with the beach of the Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort 5 * (Sharm El Sheikh). Their reviews are enthusiastic and interesting, because the corals here are some of the most tempting in the world, even for qualified divers.

The catering system in Diamond Beach Resort 5 * (Sharm el Sheikh) is a separate "state in the state". Let's start with the fact that in this extensive club hotel, there are 4 restaurants (3 of which are la carte) and 5 bars serving the clients in general. Resorts from Western Europe (and their most in the hotel) is uneconomical to save on food, tightly tied to the system all inclusive. They regularly book themselves lunches or dinners at la carte restaurants. Our tourists also occasionally visit them.

In the festive thali there are about twenty such dishes, in the everyday - six or seven.
