• Sylvia (8/5): Toll angelegtes Hotel mit sehr schön ausgestatteten Zimmern. - Sehr schön angelegte Hotelanlage. Wir hatten ein sehr großzügiges Apartment mit 2 großen Balkonen und schöner Aussicht. Sehr schöne Poolanlagen. Sehr ruhige Lage - einfach toll! Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Buffet-Restaurant könnte für mehr Ambiente sorgen. Gefehlt haben für ein 5* Haus eine schöne Tischeindeckung und z.B schöne Weingläser. Der Außenbereich (Bar /Bühne) wurde am Abend viel zu hell ausleuchtet. Keine Vergünstigung bei Buchung von Tee-Time für hoteleigene Gäste.

• Adijata (10/5): White walls and warm souls! - We had an amazing time at this hotel and couldn’t be more thankful for the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were truly impressed — not only by the beauty of El Gouna itself, but by how well the hotel fits into its surroundings, both architecturally and atmospherically. The entire property is stunning — the lobby, pools, restaurants, and the overall layout of the main building make it very easy to navigate between different amenities. The room was absolutely perfect: spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The private pool was clean and maintained daily, and thoughtful touches like the blade that continuously clears palm residue from the water truly set this hotel apart. And the staff member cleans the private pool at the villa, every other day. What really made our stay extraordinary, though, was the incredible staff. Everyone was kind, polite, helpful, and always had a smile on their face. Their warmth and professionalism far exceeded what we experienced in another hotel in Hurghada. A special shoutout to Sami, the golf cart driver — so helpful and friendly. Also to Ahmad, the beach lifeguard, whose smile lit up the beach. He was amazing with our kids and managed his job with so much energy and kindness. The pool bar lifeguard was also great (unfortunately we didn’t catch his name). In the restaurant, service was top-notch — Mina and Medhat stood out, but every server was fantastic. The cleaning staff also deserve huge praise. They were incredibly respectful, always mindful if our baby was sleeping, and cleaned the room thoroughly every single time. We’ve never stayed at a hotel where the room was cleaned with such care — every surface wiped, floors mopped, kitchen cleaned, dishes washed, bathrooms spotless, terrace and stairs mopped. That level of cleanliness is a huge part of what made our stay feel so luxurious and comfortable.
• Tarek (9/5): Superb -
• Zahra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mohamed (8/5): Very good -
• Yasmine (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great, room was extremely convenient, staff is very welcoming and help full. Breakfast was great, and the location of the hotel was very convenient.
• Ahmed (9/5): Our stay was overall nice. - Breakfast was great. big variety to offer that met everyone's requirement. Hotel location is fine, not too far from attractions, in all cases a car is needed.
• Rima (9/5): Superb -
• Rasha (10/5): Exceptional - I would like to thank Mr. Ahmed Mahmoud for his kind as he was very nice and very helpfull
• Engy (8/5): Very good - The Hotel is really nice. I asked for breakfast in the room, but they told me that I would have to pay extra fees, which doesn't happen in any other hotel!
• Joel (8/5): Very good -
• Hossam (8/5): Very good -
• Makki (8/5): Very good - The staff Not having concierge
• Gillan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (1/5): HORRIBLE STAY - Nothing Where do I begin? Extremely slow staff, the room key wasn't working and every time I wanted to get into my room I had to go and call the reception and wait for 10minutes for them to send a new card to me - this happened at east 6 times! Breakfast coffee extremely slow, breakfast staff were rude and inattentive, at the pool the service again was veery slow! they were too many small flies in the pool area which did't allow me to relax....
• Ahmed (7/5): Good -
• Hala (3/5): Wouldn’t recommend - There is construction, everywhere around us!! They should not have the rooms available if we have to crawl and bend through construction pipes!
• Christian (7/5): Good -
• Kerry (4/5): Wouldn’t stay again in a townhouse - would only choose the apartments. - Located close to the Marina and shops - 5min drive or tuk tuk Staff are helpful and complex looks lovely Apartments are great but the town house we stayed in wasn’t great. 2 bedrooms - but one bedroom in the basement - not ideal for young families with kids. Curtains didn’t fully close, AC was super loud, no blind to door from kitchen - so upper bedroom had full sun - or if someone is using the bathroom - the light from the bathroom goes straight through the glass into the bathroom up stairs. Microwave didn’t work, no toaster machine. Only thing that worked was the kettle. Breakfast buffet - poor. Fruit - brown… offered pancakes but they didn’t know how to make them 🤣. Kids preferred to eat cereal in the townhouse.
• Mariam (6/5): Pleasant -
• Abdulaziz (1/5): Bad experience, a tourist not coming back - It doesn’t offer something special or unique. For example, El Jouna is designed so all resorts have an excellent location. This one is not a good location! The staff, except 1 or 2, are super slow, especially at the pools and bars. - The whole buildings are old, super old. No refurbishing was done. You see walls with water leaks that damage the paint. - Furniture is old, not maintained. - The gardens are not taking care of. Not all fountains are operational. A lot of dead trees and grass. Palms are neglected! - The beach is 15 minutes away by a car or toktok! - Food needs a complete makeover and menu change. - All inclusive is not really all inclusive. It comes with conditions and shortlist of options. - THERE IS NO TOUCH IN DRINKS OR FOOD APPEARANCE. - Absolutely the worst place to stay at.
• Zaid (8/5): Very good -
• Raad (7/5): Good -
• Emmy (7/5): Good -
• Nadine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ahmed (4/5): Good rooms for family but service quality is below standards - Location and spacious room Staff and cleanliness
• Amina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rasha (2/5): you need to change your chef - nice place the food was horrible, i booked all inclusive but i can’t find any thing to eat the test of food was very bad , the same food in lunch for dinner
• Sherine (8/5): Very good -
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lari-pekka (9/5): The caddie master and the rest of the pro shop staff smoothed and brightened our entire visit. - The personal in the reception were the best of all. Helpfull, polite, restrained and competent. The hotel's and the restaurant's products were the absolute top of this resort and the breakfast as well. Also the service levet in the hotel was top class. They were well-designed with the clientele in mind and the rooms were very tudy and clean all the time. The food product offer varied daily, also for breakfast, and the personal service at breakfast was almost commendable. Nothing was missing from the breakfast - we do belive, that everybody found from the buffet what they liked to have. Full points from us Finns who like Scandinavian breakfasts This is probably a cultural issue, but the male "restaurant manager" clearly had not become a manager, at least not with his customer service skills. He was a bit arrogant, his expression was unclear, and during every meal he would intrude on the table to flatter and ask self-evident questions about the service process. His copy type person was in a shorter form in the bar downstairs - an overly flattering person who didn't seem to enjoy his work. Bossing, yes. It was confusing for us to watch when, in an all-inclusive place, especially German customers packed huge amount snacks on paper napkins, even though food was available in abundance all day long. But as we ealier wrote, this is probably a purely cultural difference of opinion.
• Terry (10/5): Peaceful - Beautiful 😍 Need more comfortable pillows and mattresses.
