The Property — Sunrise Select Garden Beach Resort & Spa
Sunrise Select Garden Beach Resort & Spa is a compact, family-run feeling 3-star on Hurghada's main tourist strip. The lobby is cool marble and low-key reception desks, with a small bar off to one side — it feels honest rather than flashy. The USP is a private beach area and two pools, plus an on-site dive centre that makes Red Sea snorkelling very easy. It suits couples and families who want a no-fuss, good-value base for sun and sea, rather than any five-star drama.
Chronicles of Hurghada
Hurghada started as a fishing village until the 1980s, when the Egyptian government pushed Red Sea tourism. It boomed fast, with rows of hotels replacing desert dunes along the coast. The architecture is mostly low-rise resort blocks, painted white and pastel, with some older Islamic-style villas near the port. Today it’s Egypt’s main beach resort city, known for world-class diving and a loud, touristy promenade full of shops and bars.
Best Time to Visit
Full Hurghada guide →Best months
April, May and October offer 28–32°C highs, calm seas, and far fewer crowds than midsummer. Diving visibility is at its best in spring and autumn.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season: European school holidays pack hotels to near capacity. Prices spike 30–50% above shoulder rates. No specific festival drives it — just heat and school breaks.
Budget shoulder season
March, late September and November. Temps drop to 26–30°C, hotels cut rates by 20–40%, and beaches are quieter. Perfect for budget-conscious travellers.
Weather & packing
Hurghada is desert-dry year-round, but July afternoons can hit 40°C with near-zero humidity — the sun burns fast. Pack a high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and light, loose cotton — no jeans.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunrise Select Garden Beach Resort & Spa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing the garden rather than the street. These middle floors avoid ground-level noise from the lobby and pool bar, and the garden outlook is quieter and more pleasant than the road side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor or first-floor rooms, especially those near the pool or bar areas — you’ll get chair scraping, music, and chatter until late. Also skip any room directly above the lobby or service entrance; staff trolleys and early-morning prep travel up through that area.
Best views
Garden-view rooms on the upper floors give the best outlook — you see the planted courtyard and pool without the road. Lower-level garden rooms just look at hedges and sunbeds.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 are the quietest — above ground-level activity but below any roof or terrace noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main Hurghada road (Sheraton Road) can be noticeable on the front-facing side, especially in the evening with taxis and scooters. The pool bar is active until around 10 PM, so garden-facing rooms on floor 1–2 hear that. The lift core is central and sounds carry on floors 1 and 2.
Insider tips
1. At check-in, politely ask if a garden-view room on floor 3 or 4 is available — the reception often holds a few for late arrivals. 2. If you’re a light sleeper, pack earplugs eve if you get a quiet room: the air-con units can be noisy, and you can’t control which neighbours you get.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
