Pharaoh Azur Resort (ex. Sonesta Pharaoh Beach Resort)

People are very friendly and the staff are very helpful

We stayed August 2026 for the first two weeks as a family of 4, 2 adults 2 children. We arrived around 1am, check in was quick and easy. We stayed in a bungalow which is down by the beach, we was taken on the buggy with our luggage. The bungalow was large, 1 bedroom with tv and wardrobe and safe, bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen area with a sink, with tea and coffee making facilities, dining table and a large fridge with a freezer section. In the living area was a large tv, sofa bed and chair, that led to a terrace outside, which had a table and chairs. When we entered the room it was clean, and was given a fresh fruit platter with juices. There was also cans of drinks in the fridge which are free. The cleaner will leave bottles of water every day. Our cleaner brought me flowers for our dining table on our first day. The cleaner came daily and did a really good job, and bringing fresh towels daily. Towel cards are provided. Drinks were good, great range of soft drinks, hot drinks, mocktails and cocktails. Food was a little repetitive, they did themed nights but again found it to be pretty much the same thing, although there’s something for everyone. Room service is available and it’s fairly cheap. Pool area was clean and tidy. Pool parties and foam parties was on a few times we was there. Beach area is also clean and tidy. Food down at the beach was good, also ice creams are available down at the beach. The hotel grounds are lovely and well kept. The workers work extremely hard. Outside the resort is a few shops, all was extremely friendly and wasn’t over powering. Don’t use the pharmacy furthest to the left, he over charged us numerous times for basic medication. Animation was around during the day and evening. Shows on most nights, with kids mini disco Checkout was at 12, our flight wasn’t till 12am the following day so was a long day but we was able to use the facilities till we was collected. Would happily go again.

This hotel is a very very nice hotel plenty space lots to do for kids and teens. The entertainment team are brilliant all day and on the evening, water polo,darts, yoga, football and much more.. food is good too many dishes to choose from there is something there for everyone one. Fresh pizza made in front of you down by the beech. Pool area very clean and plenty on sunbeds we have had no trouble with beds.. 1 negotiate i can find and its not a big one is the drinks. No one seems to know how to pour a beer and the cocktails can be abit naff.. but that said I would defo come back.

Our room was brilliant and space-us and the cleaner was very trusted kind and friendly , the service was brilliant food and drinks was brilliant the staff was so excellent and friendly with us and our baby girl even to the lifeguards they were superb. The hotel is shaped like a pyramid which just made us feel so special

Great fun and lots of entertainment

I would like to thank the entire animation team for everything they did. They put in so much effort, and it truly made my birthday special. Oreo is honestly one of the sweetest people I’ve met. She celebrated my birthday with me and made me feel so happy. Tito is also such a lovely and kind person. She gave me such a warm welcome from the very beginning. Yahia is one of the most active members. He was so kind and made my birthday even more special. Elyas is a kind person and very active. He also helped create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone on the team genuinely cared about my birthday and celebrated it as if they were my real friends. I had an amazing time and was so happy. They also organized really fun activities, and I didn’t feel bored for a single moment. Thank you all for making my birthday unforgettable. ❤️🎉

An absolute masterpiece of a holiday! From the moment we stepped into the breathtaking lobby, we were treated like royalty. The check-in was seamless, with a welcome drink that instantly set the tone for relaxation. The resort itself is a sprawling paradise—pristine pools, a stunning private beach with crystal-clear water, and meticulously maintained gardens that make you feel like you’re in an oasis. But the true heart and soul of this resort is the ANIMATION TEAM! They are, without exaggeration, the most energetic, talented, and genuinely friendly group we have ever encountered. They don’t just run activities; they create a family. From high-energy Zumba by the pool and intense water polo matches to hilarious pool games and nightly theme parties that are Broadway-level productions, they keep the vibe alive from sunrise to sunset and well into the night. Special shout-out to the incredible performers who dance their hearts out every single evening—the shows are professional, creative, and absolutely unmissable. The food is a gastronomic journey, with themed buffets every night offering endless variety, fresh seafood, and local delicacies that satisfy every palate. The bars are top-notch, with premium drinks and super-friendly bartenders who remember your order after day one. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and offer stunning views. The housekeeping staff is meticulous, leaving towel art that brings a smile to your face every day. Every single staff member, from the reception to the waiters to the lifeguards, greets you with a warm smile and goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Pharaoh Azur Resort isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience, a feeling, and a memory that will last a lifetime. We didn’t just stay here; we lived a dream. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of luxury, fun, relaxation, and world-class entertainment, don't think twice—book this resort now! Thank you, Pharaoh Azur, for the most unforgettable vacation!”

There is nothing really around this hotel except some shops opposite. We enjoyed the food especially the pizza and pasta station. The staff in the restaurant and bar are nice and friendly, the reception staff we found to be unwelcoming and unfriendly. Consider not booking a garden room they are in a building set away from the resort, the rooms are old and very dated with noisy aircon which doesn’t work well. The rooms could do with a deep clean especially the bathrooms. The beds are comfy and room service came everyday and did the best they could in the time they have. The all inclusive drinks are not good. The wine is either alcohol free or very low % the cocktails also have very little alcohol in them. The animation team during the day are great and friendly and get you involved in darts. Football, water polo. The evening entertainment provided by the hotel is really poor and boring. We used the gym a few times which has everything you need.

Really nice hotel with excellent facilities. Staff really helpful, my grandchildren really enjoyed the mini kids clubs with the animation team who were excellent. Aurero was amazing and fantastic with the kids. Abd El Rahman was really noce friendly and helpful with small issues with room key cards. Rooms were excellant and we were in the middle of the hotel so easy access to main areas and bea h area. Fantastic value and hotel really nice. Rooms kept clean to a very high standard. Really good service and amenities. Very quiet at night.

Just finished a 7 night holiday here. As soon as we arrived, we were offered late dinner, we were checked in quickly, and then taken to our room with our suitcases. The staff are really friendly and all work incredibly hard! The bar staff are always on the go, morning, noon and night. The restaurant staff keep the tables and floors clean, collecting plates and delivering drinks. The entertainment team provide aqua aerobics, zumba, kids foam parties and dancing during the day. Evening entertainment consists of mini disco and then a performing act afterwards. The pool area is large, relaxing and no trouble finding a sun lounger. Towel cards and service is great. The head lifeguard is lovely and makes you feel welcome. Only downside to the pool area is being asked if you want to book a massage or excursion, however if you politely decline, the workers will say thank you and move on. Food in the main restaurant became fairly predictable most days. A lot of items seemed to be in some kind of tomato sauce, or a casserole of some sort. BBQ'd meats were really good and always plenty of fresh salad and vegetables. There could be a better variety of breakfast items and more fresh fruit, as every morning there was only orange, grapefruit or melon. The queues for eggs and omelettes was always really long, but they were always cooked perfectly. We used 2 of the A la Carte restaurants. The Italian and the Asian. Both excellent service and plenty to choose from the menus. Beach is beautiful and calm with plenty of loungers, wind breakers, plus the bar area with tables and chairs under the shade. Lunch service is usually served here. Our room was a bit dated and rough around the edges, but we were hardly in it and only there to sleep, shower and change. Our housekeeper George was amazing. He cleaned our room and restocked supplies every single day apart from one when we didn't really need it doing. He was always smiley, friendly and grateful when we tipped him. The only main issue we had was using the foreign exchange machine in the hotel. We put our money in and it didn't come back out. Ramy from the reception took my husband to the bank in town to try to get the problem sorted, but we are waiting for confirmation. He was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to try to resolve this for us. Overall, we had a relaxing stay and felt welcome and safe. Would visit again. **Tips for travellers** Visas - as soon as you arrive at Hurghada airport, there are 3 or 4 kiosks on the right hand side where the visas cost 30 US Dollars per person. Have this ready in cash to pay. DO NOT go to the people who are shouting "Easyjet, TUI, visa, visa" They are dressed in fake airline uniforms and will charge you extra. If your airline didn't provide a landing card, the airport staff will gove you these to fill out before you go through the passport control. Bring a pen. Currency - Use the foreign exchange at the airport, or withdraw from ATM into egyptian pounds. Tip workers in egyptian pounds. Shops - There are some shops on site. One thatvsells souveiners, sweets and some toiletry essentials. The other sells pretty much the same, plus drinks, snacks, ice creams, cigarettes, tobacco. They take card or cash. Loungers and Towels -. Sun loungers can't be 'reserved', so guests aren't allowed to dump their stuff first thing in the morning and then leave. Towel cards are given for each guest so no need to pack one. You can get towels from the pool and the beach.

KEEKO AND ILLIOS were the best animation they were always pleasant and asked us to join the activities. The others never came near. The team are new and need to coordinate their dancing. The food was not as good as February there was hardly any chicken dishes. Achmed pool manager is the best always professional and nothing is any problem. The hotel wouldnt be the same without him. Guest relations never come round to ensure everything is up to standard. The gardeners work really hard. The management has changed and they used to have a meet the management with cocktails this doesn't happen anymore.

Hotel rooms were very clean. 🧽 Grounds were beautiful. Food and drinks. Very good. Restaurants excellent. Pools very clean. Beach and gardens very nice. Staff very friendly great security team Animation very good shows varied. All in all exceptional experience. Extremely happy. Trip seller. Fruit man. Shops well priced. Great shop close to reception I told him to raise his prices. Thanks paraoh azur resort
