Sakkala Holidays

Very beautiful hotel

We went to this hotel to try it, its very clean, rooms are large, 4 restaurants, coffee shop, icecream shop. 2 pools one heated, a good gym, a lovely spa i had a good massage. loads of seating areas, all the staff are very nice and helpful, reception fast check - in we were early but they gave us our rooms, our friends had a free upgrade, mini bar first day free, water and kettles in room. We enjoyed it and will return.

I wouldnt go back again

I have stayed at the other Sunny days Hotel adjacent and I think I prefer the Mirette because it is quieter and when it’s windy, which it can be even in the summer, the other hotel shelters it. The water is fairly shallow so if you want to snorkel you have to go to the other hotel’s beach. Both hotels offer the same standard of food but if drinks are your priority then the larger one is best.

Great service and food. Employee Improvements reqd: Reda (the concierge) has no Customer Service skills, he is constantly busy on his mobile phone and so provides no help whatsoever to guests. Unfortunately, the Customer Service Team at the main desk also did very little to provide any help and support. Please note that all restaurants must be booked 48hrs in advance. Some employees mention it's 24hrs and some say 48hrs. The booking service needs improving. Doesn't tell you what restaurants are open on what days! You can exchange currency to Egyptian Pounds in the machines within the hotel, however, if you want smaller denominations to give to the employees as tips, don't expect anyone at the hotel to help. Their answer was: "we don't keep any local Egyptian currency"!!! Everyone else at the hotel were Outstanding. Huge Thank You to: Sveltana (Customer Service Manager) who works long hours and is always willing to help with any questions/requests. Hashim (Restaurant Manager) - went above and beyond from day 1. Thank you for everything you did for us. Mustafa (Head Chef) and Rajendra (chef at Indian restaurant): thank you for being so helpful and accommodating by making vegetarian dishes for us. Raj, the veg food you made was outstanding :-) Naglaa - always has a smile on her face and greets everyone with a warm welcome. Karim (manages poolside area) - you are constantly busy, always happy and always willing to help everyone. Ahmed - thanks for the exceptional drinks service
