We just came back from a week at the sultan gardens and can happily say it is a beautiful hotel, 5 different swimming pools and lovely beach. Bars and food at every pool. Unfortunately the food was not very good, breakfast was exactly the same every day with nothing for English to eat, lunch was ok but again very repetetive, and the dinner had no variety, personally I felt the hotel catered more to its non-english guests so we had to make do, lucky enough Mcdonalds deliver to the hotel and is very cheap!! Rooms were a bit dated but comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Be careful if visiting Naama Bay for hagglers.

Dear amyand2010,
Thank you for choosing the Sultan Gardens Resort and for posting your review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We would like to point out that the Sultan Gardens in no way caters for one nationality at the expense of another, especially in the case of the food.
With regards to breakfast, this is the same everyday true, but this is standard for buffets and the items available include veal and beef sausages, egg fritters, potates prepared differently everyday, assorted cereals and yoghurts, fruit, fava beans, baked beans, cheeses, breads, sweet and savory pastries, cinammon toast, pancakes, salad, hardboiled eggs, and a fresh egg station preparing poached eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs and omelettes to order. We feel this is excellent variety which offers plenty for English guests to eat.
Lunch and Dinner feature 8 hot items that are different at every meal (including rice, meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables), a live pasta station with a choice of two different pasta sauces for lunch and three for dinner (these sauces change on a daily basis), soups, a live grilling (at lunch this grilling station works on a daily rotation that includes such items as grill kebabs, grilled fish, hotdogs, burgers, grilled calamari and so on) station, salads and desserts. Dinners also feature a carving station.
In addition to this we also serve snack food at pool side. This is also on a rotation which includes burgers, fries, hot dogs, chicken wings, beef satays, falafel, beef fillet, pizza, fish fingers and so on. We feel the fact that we serve everything from burgers and fries to tandoori chicken to greek lamb with spinach and artichokes shows the diversity of our menu and our desire to cater to all guests whether they are looking for imaginative high end dining or simple fast food flavors.
That being said we appreciate that it is impossible to cater to 100% of guest preferences 100% of the time and that is why we invite all of our guests to please tell us if they are having trouble with the food. We will be happy to take whatever steps necessary to insure their satisfaction. Simply put guests on all inclusive at the Sultan Gardens should never have to order in food.
Thank you again and we hope you will return soon.
Best Regards
The Management
