Holiday from heaven
Beautiful hotel, the food is amazing and staff is amazing. Big shout out to Joo made us feel very welcome and we will come back! 5**
Lovely stay, hotel with great potential
We recently stayed at Sunrise Tucana in building 18 and were blown away by the property’s beauty. The hotel’s boho-chic design and attention to detail are truly stunning. Our room was gorgeous, and we must give a special mention to our housekeeper, who was the best staff member in the hotel; he kept our room spotless and his towel art was amazing.
The service and dining were highlights. The reception team was professional and welcoming—they even provided a room upgrade. In the restaurant, we were taken care of by the wonderful Zenat, and the lady baking fresh Arabic bread was lovely. The food was consistently fantastic, especially the Italian à la carte; the steak and truffle gnocchi were world-class. Drinks were great, especially the fresh juices and coffee, though the beer could have been colder.
However, the entertainment and music quality were a major disappointment. While the Bedouin night was fantastic and we really enjoyed the authentic performance by the Bedouin band, the rest of the evening entertainment was a disaster. The singers at the Rooftop Bar sounded amateurish, like people just starting to learn how to sing, and their performances were honestly painful to listen to. It felt as if random people were pulled off the street, given instruments and a microphone, and told to perform. Even the promised DJ sessions were lifeless. It is baffling that such a high-end resort settles for such poor-quality performances, and frankly, I would have much preferred to listen to the Bedouin band all day and night rather than those singers.
Additionally, the animation team needs better training. While some staff were great, others showed a clear preference for guests of a specific nationality, which felt unprofessional and exclusionary.
Overall, we would return for the stunning infrastructure and incredible food, but the quality of the evening entertainment and the inconsistency in service standards are significant issues that hold this otherwise brilliant resort back. We truly hope management addresses this, as the current entertainment is well below the standard expected of such a beautiful hotel.

Great hotel
Great hotel with a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. The entertainment team was amazing and made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Hotel with potential, if changed to Adults only
It’s not a new hotel (reviews are misleading). We stayed on the same complex 16 years ago. They took a part of the Royal Makadi (rooms), built a new reception and a few restaurants and gave it a new name. The new parts are lovely, nicely designed and look great (very boutique). Rooms are small and poorly renovated.
It should’ve been converted to adults only hotel!!! There are no facilities for kids and people still bring them in! We thought you’d need to be mad to come here with kids, and the hotel was full of them. The pool was full of screaming kids.
The beach was full of kids and the corals are 80% dead. It was great years ago, but the climate change has contributed to the change!
It was very noisy! Loud music everywhere, staring in the morning and finishing at 10pm. There was no escape, as you could hear it in the room or on beach at night. We came back exhausted! The entertainment was very poor (saying that, my husband liked the stretching in the mornings).
The food was great, although we’re vegetarian and we were served beef once. I love that everything was served of the menu!!! It wasn’t repetitive and there was always something to choose from (although lost in translation happened every single day). There was no food waste, as you can see in other places!
The Beduin Night was amazing! Food was authentic, nicely presented and the entertainment was great! It’s definitely a highlight of this place! Please remember to take an apple and banana for Casanova, the camel 🐪
The Posh Club is a joke! You pay additional 250 dollars a day and you can access a restricted area (pool, day restaurant and bar). It divides the hotel into two parts, so be aware of this when you check reviews. When we were there there was only one couple in the pool (where the other pool was overcrowded). The brochure says there are 3 swimming pools, which is incorrect, as one of the belongs to the Posh Club!
The staff were amazing!
In short, the hotel needs to be changed to Adults only, and the Posh Club needs to removed. The entertainment needs to be upgraded, so guest can relax.

5 Star Stay - excluding the animation team.
A 5 star hotel - made 4 star by the entertainment team.
We’ve had just over a week at the Sunrise Tucana and the hotel is beautiful. It’s very modern, the rooms are lovely, everywhere is clean and very well looked after.
This is our first time at an all inclusive resort where there is no buffet, all meals are Al a Carte, but we were pleasantly surprised and didn’t have a bad meal. Yades was the best spot for lunch and it’s a beautiful setting for evening meals too.
The staff at the hotel are top class, they cannot do enough for you and work so hard to make sure you have what you need.
We found the only thing to let the hotel and our stay down was the “animation team”. One of the males, who conveniently was the only one to never wear a name badge, was a real annoyance. When clearly trying to relax by the pool, he will repeatedly nag you, sit on your sun bed, read your phone, with some guests we saw him splash them with water whilst sleeping, pick up their drinks etc. He is pushy, arrogant and we dreaded his presence every time he was near. Whilst we understand their job is to encourage guests to join in with activities, he should read the room and know when to leave people alone.
