This place is anything but a 5* hotel. It has a huge territory, the beach and numbers are OK. The service is so-so and the stuff is pretty importunate. You probably will not enjoy lying on the beach because of the ppl offering you massage, water melons, scuba diving and all that stuff. Be aware of a possible fraud when... More

Arrived on the 1st April, we were not welcomed, we had booked a sea view room which if you hung over the balcony and craned your neck to the left you could just about see the sea in the distance. This is not the hotel for British people. The other holiday makers were mainly Russian and German and the hotel... More

Arrived at Sonesta and first impressions were good - on check in we found the reception staff rather unhelpful but just assumed it was because they were busy. Our room in the grounds was more than adequate albeit it had no view! The food was awful - it was like a canteen style more than 5 * and this is... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Sonesta Pharaoh hotel. Yes, there was a lot of Russians, but I found them well mannered. Maybe it was because the hotel was not crowded! There was plenty of chairs round the pool and on the beach. We had a beautiful room overlooking the gardens, which were tended to daily. I enjoyed the food... More

We stayed for a week, expecting a calm, relaxing stay. And that is what we exactly had. It was sunny and warm, some days were even hot. The fresh breeze was really welcome. The beach is clean and large, no fights for sun beds. You get towels, which you can change as often as you please. There is a beach... More
