Sultans Beach Hotel 4 * (Turkey / Camyuva): photo, rates and reviews

Larissa Hotels is a dynamically developing hotel chain with a central office in Turkey, specializing in providing a relatively inexpensive guesthouse (about $ 60 per night) to its guests. Such an economical pricing policy allowed it to consistently open three- and four-star good-quality and cost-effective hotels on the prospectively growing resorts.

On the Antalya coast in Turkey, for example, there are 11 hotels from Larissa. Launches this network of its boarding houses in other countries. Thus, the corporate strategy is being implemented - to grow into a rating network no longer on a regional, but on the world level, hotel network.

The subject of this article is a comparison of four-star hotel complexes named equally: Larissa Sultan Hotel - and built in Turkey (Camyuva village) and in Egypt (Hurghada city). On their example, we see a promising management from Larissa: to build typical rating hotels that provide services of the classic at economics class prices. However, each of the same hotel complexes has its own characteristics, coming from the economy of the country where it is located. At least, after reading the article, you yourself will come to the conclusion: which of the same-named hotels - in Camyuva or in Hurghada - is more suitable for you.

Location of hotels

As we already mentioned, both complexes are called the same: Sultans Beach Hotel.

Turkish network four-star hotel "Banks of the Sultan" is located 65 kilometers from the airport of Antalya. The nearest town - Kemer - is only five kilometers away. The main lure for tourists is the pure wine tear as it was written about by Socrates, the Mediterranean Sea. According to the classification, this is a hotel complex of the first line: the distance to the beach is 100 m.

The hotel is small, "non-fast", designed for 137 rooms. It is favorable for family holidays.

Egyptian hotel complex is built very close to the airport in Hurghada: 15 minutes - and the bus from the travel agency delivers from the airport newly arrived to the Sultans Beach Hotel, breaking the distance of 6 km. Unlike its "Turkish namesake", Egyptian Sultans Beach is three times larger and is located on the Red Sea coast of the city, 8 kilometers from its center.

It is surrounded by a very comfortable pedestrian zone with shops, shops, restaurants. It is favorable for successful shopping. The hotel beach on the shore of the Red Sea is only 80 meters from the hotel complex.

Arguing about the general features of network management, we note that the tourists of both hotels highly appreciate the sophisticated landscape design of the complexes, aesthetically and farsightedly constructed and periodically restored.

General principles of architecture

Note that the architecture of both hotels organically merges into a single ensemble with landscape design. Reviews rested in them celebrate not just harmonious landscaping, but simply a paradise entourage: fountains and flowering trees enliven the relatively small hotel area of the Sultans Beach Hotel. In both cases, the interior of hotel complexes has a pronounced open architecture, and the outer one is closed. Another principle of the overall architecture from the network Larissa Sultan Hotel is its low-rise.

Architecture of the hotel in Camyuva (Turkey)

In our opinion, the design of the Turkish hotel is more interesting. Here prevails the modern interpretation of the Ottoman style. The outer facade of the main building, looking towards the village of Camyuva, is characteristic. Designers modeled classical Ottoman forms: a dome in the middle and two imitations of minarets on the sides. Close to the main building, limiting the planes of its facades to the inner courtyard of the hotel, there are two residential buildings. The design of the internal facades of all three buildings of the Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * is original. Guest reviews indicate that they really like the elegant combination of arches, columns and flowering trees.

Design of a hotel in Hurghada

The architecture of the Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * (Hurghada, Egypt) reminds of the above discussed low-rise and "horseshoe-shaped" layout of the main hotel buildings.

The main building of the hotel is four-storey. In addition to it, the hotel complex includes two three-storey buildings, as well as 13 two-storey cottages built in a small distance. In the center is the main building, on the sides - residential. They horseshoe cover a fairly spacious main pool.

It is not by chance that such architecture with its contours and arrangement of facade planes resembles the above-mentioned hotel complex of the Turkish village of Camyuva. One can feel the uniform design from the Larissa Sultan S Beach Hotel.

However, in Egypt there are no architectural details that give Ottoman style to buildings: arches, domes, etc. The modeled contour of minarets is not visible. More and more standard, in architecture, the modernist style prevails. But some simplification of the architecture is compensated by the abundance of panoramic windows.

From the back side, close to the administrative building, bordering the inner territory of the hotel, adjoin their ends with two four-story residential buildings. Quantity of rooms in hotel - 328.

The traditional architecture of hotel complexes Larissa Sultan S Beach Hotel (common for Asia Minor and Egypt) is somewhat like a canyon: stone buildings with comfortable terraces are surrounded by a very aesthetically designed man-made reservoir with fountains. Here there are cute little islands, and exotic, majestic royal palms.

Residential buildings of the Egyptian hotel, in contrast to the Turkish, painted in pastel yellow, and not in beige. On its background, the snow-white balconies and the rich landscaping of the Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * look harmonious.

Guest section of hotels

The signature element of both hotel complexes is the exquisite landscape design of their territory. At the same time, a large but shallow pool of surprising beauty is positioned along its center.

We are happy to attach to this article photos of both major hotel pools. Thanks to the skilful landscaping, the holidaymakers are comfortable here. Pleasing the eyes are chic palms, flowering trees, many professionally designed flower lawns.

At the swimming pools on the side of the main buildings there are the main restaurants providing basic food for the holiday-makers using the buffet method.

In both hotels there are two restaurants. One of them (the main one) works on the system all inclusive, and the second one is paid and serves the holiday-goers by appointment. The open part of the main restaurants is a comfortable zone where you can eat and chat.

Also in each of the hotels there are three bars. The 24-hour is open in the lobby area of the main building and in the daytime there are bars on the beach and around the pool.

However, we will stop at the pool area. In both Turkish and Egyptian hotels, it is an ideal place for outdoor activities. Judge for yourself: in this pond you can swim and play water polo. On comfortable ergonomic electric car trims, it's nice to get sunbathing. The surrounding area is arranged in such a way that there is enough room for all the hotel guests.

Certainly, the factor that improves the quality of recreation, as well as the unique know-how of the Sultans Beach Hotel are free spa services: hamam and sauna. A resort owner who has a bracelet (a unique pass) of this hotel, can visit the sauna daily and for free (all inclusive).

The work of the personnel who created such a floral landscape design is respected. Especially in Egypt's Hurghada, where the climate is hot and deserted. At the same time, the order and cleanliness of the Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * are striking. Management is remarkable for its teamwork.

Common features of the hotel rooms

The rooms of the hotels belonging to the Larissa Sultan Hotel network are standard. Perhaps, the reason for this is unified corporate standards, however, residential suites in Turkey and in Egypt are the same. They are compact enough, however they are well-equipped. We recommend you to tip when you are ready to get a more cozy room. Better that your temporary penates are above the second floor, it is desirable that the windows of the room open part of the sea landscape, as well as the landscape near the pool. For guests of the upper floors of the windows and balconies of their rooms, the interior design is organically complemented by the scenery opening from the windows. There are situations when this request of vacationers is satisfied in a few days after it is expressed - as soon as the free suites in the Sultans Beach Hotel. But to ask, of course, is worth it.

Each hotel suite has a balcony and a bathroom. The bathroom has a shower.

The rooms are furnished with solid furniture made of natural wood. They are very clean, cleaning is done daily. We recommend that on the first day and in the future, a day later, leave a dollar for the cleaner. In this case, cleaning will be better, and you will see on your bed and swans, fish, and rabbits, skilfully laid out of towels. At the request of guests, you can install one extra bed (this is normal: the rooms are designed for a maximum of four people.) There is also a refrigerator, TV with a Russian channel. The conditioner is good, it works properly. Safe and minibar are paid.

Than Egyptian suites are more perfect

However, in the Egyptian hotel elements of technology "smart house" are realized. You will notice it yourself. Entering the room Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * (Hurghada) and putting the keys in a special pocket at the entrance door, you can freely turn on the light. However, leaving your temporary shelter and, of course, taking the keys out of your pocket, we automatically turn off the lights, the TV.

When the balcony door is opened, the air conditioner is automatically turned off. Also in the room there is an additional convenience: you can, without getting out of bed, turn on the light both in the room and in the hallway.

Yet the hotel kitchen in Hurghada is better

Just note that with a good overall catering base Egyptian hotel is confidently in the lead. It's not even about catering. Both in Hurghada and in Camyuva it is subject to unified corporate standards (see photo), providing a rhythmic work and assortment. However, the Egyptian hotel "Bereg Sultana" does not save money, providing a daily menu with more expensive meat products and a large assortment of fruits. This gastronomic abundance offers tourists this popular Egyptian four-star hotel. Unlike the Turkish four-star Sultan Beach Hotel (Bodrum) from the same network, here the daily diet of meat dishes is not limited to dishes made from chicken and turkey. It also includes dishes from beef, lamb, seafood. From the fish on the menu there are local mackerel (waha), tuna, sardines, sea bass. Periodically, also prepare squid.

Vegetables are served in assortment, lots of salads. Especially delicious baked vegetables. Potato and rice side dishes are pleasant. In the buffet table, fruit is abundant : guava, watermelon, peaches, grapes, oranges, grapefruits, melons, dates. The chefs at the Sultan Beach Hotel 4 * (Hurghada) work together like bees.

The first dishes are delicious, but a little unaccustomed: soups-mashed potatoes and broths.

Breakfast guests at the hotel from 7 ⁰⁰ to 10 ⁰⁰ , lunch from 12 ⁰⁰ to 15 ⁰⁰ , and dinner from 18 ⁰⁰ to 22 ⁰⁰ . If you wish, vacationers on the beach can have a snack with delicious flat cakes, which are cooked here on the beach, a buffet employee. However, it is necessary to defend the queue.

In the breakfast menu, light and nutritious food prevails: milk with several kinds of flakes, kefir. At will, the cook immediately bakes eggs for you.

The restaurant is always clean and orderly. It is necessary to pay tribute to the bar workers for their professionalism. Impressive is their ability to juggle bottles and mix the ingredients in a cocktail.

What is desirable to change the chefs of the hotel in Camyuva

In general, the restaurant of the Turkish hotel Sultans Beach Hotel and performs its function on a solid "four", providing both assortment and taste of food. Many people do not even feel the difference in the quality of dishes, but not gourmets ...

So, what is the opinion of the former guests of the Sultan Beach Hotel? Reviews of tourists often coincide: many recommend that the hotel in Chamyuva more carefully optimize its work and not save on beef, mutton, do not narrow the range of fish dishes.

If you analyze the organization of catering, the conclusion emerges about the priority following the Hotel Sultan Beach to the Egyptian hotel management, the essence of which is to expand the menu and constantly improve the work of the team of professionals. It should be given credit: up to five-star level, the Egyptian hotel has only half a step to do.

Recommended in front of beach rest

Of course, holidaymakers seeking to Turkey and Egypt, not least attracted beach holidays on the coast of the Mediterranean and Red Seas. We highly recommend vacationers immediately upon arrival to visit the Turkish bathhouse Hammam functioning at the hotels "Sultan's Beach", and also to peel the skin. This will prepare the body for a better perception of water and sun baths.

Beach of an Egyptian hotel. Features of the Red Sea

It has its own sandy beach and the hotel in question. Sunset in the water is convenient. However, when you go into the water, you will find yourself in a fairly shallow lagoon. It is suitable for families with children. And what about young people who want to swim at depth and enjoy the spectacle of corals and bright, beautiful fish? Really hotel beach from the hotel Sultan S Beach Hotel 4 * does not have the capacity for diving? Of course it does!

The relief of the Red Sea in general and its coast in particular is original. There are tendencies to both shallow water and to an abrupt increase in depth. On the beach of the hotel in question, to reach the depth of the bathing, it is enough to walk about thirty meters from the lagoon to the left. And without special shoes, ie barefoot, this should not be done. Under the water, you can cut a leg about sharp corals (note that the latter is a common feature of the bottom of the Red Sea, and not just the hotel's water area Larissa Sultans Beach Hotel 4 *). The brightest impressions of holidaymakers are associated with specially organized sea excursions.

Hotel beach in Chemiuva

The 50-meter long sand and pebble beach is fenced and landscaped. Sun beds, umbrellas and towels are free of charge. At lunch time: from 11 ⁰⁰ to 15 ⁰⁰ - here you can have a snack at the bar (all inclusive system for owners of hotel bracelets).

The sea in the water area of the beach is warm, like milk, and crystal clear, with turquoise tint. The phenomenon of the Mediterranean is its attractive power: if you swim in its waters once, the spa-goer will want to again and again experience contact with the waters of this ancient and young sea, which once became the cradle of ancient civilization.

How to buy an excursion

Buying excursions for vacationers in both Turkey and Egypt has common features. The price strategy of agents from the hotel is expressed in one of the known types of financial transactions - speculation.

Suppose you are in an Egyptian hotel decided to take a sightseeing tour to the island of Tobia (it is also called Paradise Island). You can save. For example, right at the hotel his guest can buy a ticket for this excursion for $ 20-25. And having shown ingenuity, he can find outside the hotel a travel agency offering the same ticket for $ 14. This option is preferable. At the same time, we do not recommend using the services of frankly dumping artisan entrepreneurs offering a price of $ 10. In order not to return to this financial aspect, we generalize: we still recommend that before buying any excursions at the Sultan Beach Hotel (Hurghada), compare their cost with market prices from several tour bureaus. Save money, do not overpay half or two times.

Recommended excursions from the hotel "Sultan Beach" (Turkey)

What excursions are most in demand for holidaymakers who are vacationing in the area of Chemiuva (Turkey)? In the "stone city" - Cappadocia; To the famous cascade of travertine baths, which includes the basin of Cleopatra - Pamukkale; To the ancient Byzantine fortress of Ich-Kale; To the magnificent underground stalactite grotto of Dalmatash, the secret ancient corsair base. It is also worth visiting some of the facilities of modern infrastructure of Antalya: aquapark, Discovery Park, eastern market of Alanya.

However, if you are a fan of watching the underwater world, then you still better choose a tour to Egypt on the Red Sea coast.

"Land" excursions of Egypt

Where else can go on excursion resorts, living in one of the hotels that Hurghada is so rich with. Sultan Beach Hotel, generally speaking, can be the starting point for many excursions. First, to the Valley of the Pyramids, the visiting card of the Land of the Pharaohs. A good and popular option is to make a sightseeing trip to Jerusalem (Israel) with a visit to Christian shrines. Often tourists choose excursions to Luxor (the ruins of the ancient capital of Egypt), lovers of diving and snorkeling prefer to visit the Ras Mohamed National Park.

Conclusion

Let's sum up the aforesaid. Where can I go to a tourist who did not plan to see the beauty of one of the countries: Turkey or Egypt? Can he buy a tour to this or that hotel Sultan Beach Hotel? Both options are good! Reviews of holidaymakers indicate a high level of service in both hotels. However, do not forget that this is a four-star hotel complexes. Accordingly, with the existing basic service, the excursion program and its leisure hotel guests plan on their own. By and large you choose an alternative: the Mediterranean or the Red Sea.

The Mediterranean is convenient for entering the water, ideal for swimming, swimming. Red has its limits: shallow near the shore with a steep drop of depth. However, it has a rich coral underwater world, the beauty of which is open to divers and simply bathers.

In any case, the choice of the country and the hotel is yours.
