What a fabulous place to stay. We were there on our honeymoon and we had picked this hotel specifically because it was advertised as 'adult friendly'. There really isn't anything ther for kids to do but there were still quite a few families there. I have to say the british family's kids were, on the whole, very respectful and well behaved unliked others that where there. Fortunately, there are a choice of areas to do your sunbathing so we dodn't have to suffer for too long. The food was lovely, always good choice for starters, main and desert. The dine around was great for a change of scenery and the food was exceptional. We went on the Rock n Shop excursion with Thomas Cook. It was a guided tour of Hurgada and dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. I was so glad I wasn't on my own. The traders in Hurgada Old Town were very pushy to the point I really wanted to get out of there quick. Not an experience I'd like to repeat. Anyway, the staff and service throughout the whole holiday was brilliant. It was the most relaxing holiday I've ever been on. The holiday and El Gouna can be, in my opinion, summed up in one word. IDYLIC.

Just arrived back from El Gouna.
Hotel staff were excellent,freindly,efficent,nothing was to much trouble.
Food although it could be repetative,it was good quality,and plenty off it.
Choice was varied,plenty off salads.
After several long trips arriving back to the hotel around midnight a buffet was arranged in the restuarant.
As for the area it is reseanable quiet with plenty going on both during the day and night.
Shopping is good,and has a varied selection of international cusine to suit all.
Buses into ElGouna Downtown is every 15 minutess up to 2am.Cost about 50p per person.
The hotel itself is on both the marina and on the red sea.
The hotel is safe and so is downtown.
I recommend this hotel to anyone,also El Gouna.
Agreat holiday with fantastic people,in a great location

hotel was lovely the place is really really nice the people are great to really friendly place spotless clean rooms apart from the food really discusting the first night i had food poison and was in bed for two days its a good job that we was there for two weeks or that would of been a real upset also if you do decide to go to this resort it is worth goin all in because the drink comes in handy haha!
there is lots of activtys to do there the ANIMATION team were great!! also the shows was brill but do use the dine around option the itallian and the indian resturants are lovely worth paying for cheap as chips like butit was disapointing as we did not bring a lot of money as we assumed the food eould be good but most of our money was on food and as my partner is fussy with his food the two of us was really off after my ordeal also there is a lot of shops with all the designer ham bags ect also the chica is cool to try !
i did enjoy this hoiliday we are concidering going back again but only 4 one week.

The hotel is set in the Marina and has fantastic views of the lagoon and the red sea.
We stayed in the new part of the hotel and i must say that the room we had was great. We had an excellent view of the Lagoon and it were a nice quiet room (2363)
The pool is very lively with the animation team based there.
The beach by the hotel wasnt what i expected, very small and right by the entrance of the marina, therefore pointless going in with snorkles as it was very merky and couldnt see any fish. The main beach resembled a building site.
The eat around option is ideal as i am a very picky eater (as my partner says) and i found some of the meals at the hotel not to my taste.
The breakfast and lunches were fine it was just the evening meals.
We went on 2 quad trips and i would say that if your an adrenaline junkie then the morning one is great.... 3 hours in the desert going fast,,, the afternoon one is more subdued and you get to see the sun set over the desert.
Around the marina you arnt pestered as much as you are in Sharm but they do understand a firm no.
A trip in to downtown is a must on a toktok, just to say that you have been on one.
I must say a big hello to julie and mike, who were a constant source of laughs and amusement.
Would i go back..... the answer is no...... basically its a 3 star hotel trying to be a 4
The position of the hotel is great but i would be bored out of my head if i stayed for 2 weeks . Be prepared for the pharoahs revenge, my partner had bad stomach cramps and diarreah for 24hrs+ the chemist in the marina is well stocked and he speaks excellent english

great holiday nice people nice place, cant complain about anything, we went early when it was quieter but i should say it gets busier after easter,went on a tour of Luxor' this was absolutely amazing, went to see the valley of the kings and various temples. then went down the nile in a boat and finished of with a meal, would advise to fly there, a bit dearer but a lot less hassle than a coach. enjoyed a great break, will book again .

We had an excellent time and cannot say enough for the friendliness of the staff here. Our room was spotless and we also had no problems when requesting a move, as the original room had a double bed and we had requested 2 singles. The food was plentiful but a bit bland, which is probably needed when catering for large numbers, but we used the Dine Around option with great success. The only disappointment we had was with the Bedouin BBQ, which was not a barbeque by the way. The Bedouin part was most interesting but the so-called Jeep ride was not suitable for anyone of an age or with medical problems who does not like being driven off-road at speed, much more suitable for perhaps teen-aged boys, and we would not recommend this particular excursion. The Luxor by air excursion, however, was beyond our wildest dreams and we would recommend this, rather than the bus journey. Friends of ours had already booked on the bus to Luxor and were very disappointed by not so much the length of the drive, but the concentration on stopping at shops, rather than spending more time at the sights themselves and the total omission of the Temple of Hatshepsut.

we have been back a week and found the hotel spotless, the waiters all speak english and are very friendly.There is a variety of food whether you are a vegatarian or meat eaters, all superbly cooked by various chefs.
Rooms are done each day , clean sheets and towels, you are provided a towel voucher for the pool if you don't wish to use your own. A small man made beach area with wind breakers provided free. If you wish to use other beaches you may use some that are indirectly joined to the hotel across the marina.
We asked for a sea view but got the marina, at this time of year it is shaded this side so does'nt get any sun. but has a lovely view nethertheless.
its gets very chilly so i would advise to take a coat or a thick jumper if you are into walking around the marina at night.In the day it averaged out at 27 degrees,great for getting a tan.
you may use other bars and restaurants and not loose your fully inc drinks but need to pay extra for food, this i think you need to book up.
I would recomend going on a snorkeling trip, its worth every penny , we went to Mahmaya island, an hour out to sea, only thing is i wish it had been longer because the weather was so nice we wanted to relax and enjoy every minute of it, but had to get back as it gets dark around 7ish.
To go on the trips to see the pyramids or the nile cruise, i would recomend you stay for 2 weeks, unfortunately we only had a week so did'nt get enough time time to visit them.
All in all i found it a grat place to stay,would go back again.
Neesha was our thomas cook rep, such a nice lady, always there to help with her wonderful smile.

We followed a week's Nile Cruise - excellent - with three weeks at this hotel , which included Christmas Eve and New Year!
We had an excellent spacious room with balcony overlooking the lagoon - it had the sun all day and was on the sheltered side of the hotel. Standards of cleanliness were good and Aymann (our steward) kept up a constant supply of witty towel shapes! We found food at breakfast and lunch generally good but evening buffet a bit monotonous - we ate around quite a bit and found this made a change; the Belgian restaurant was particularly good with really superb steaks!
Although we had realised that the weather would not be hot , we had not bargained on the strong winds (chilly) at night and we would certainly choose to visit at a different time of year in future! I believe that the optimum time weather wise is April-May and Sept.-October when the sea temperature is much warmer and it is pleasanter to walk about at night!
The Gala nights were extremely well organised and the food great - all the Three Corner establishments joined together making it a huge affair - tented - for us a bit too big but great for families. The staff were without exception attentive and helpful and the animation team worked hard to keep plenty of activities going putting a huge amount of energy into it. If you visit at this time of year - Dec.-Jan. - make sure that you take some warm jackets for the evenings!

The location of this hotel is superb being right on the marina, the cleanliness of this hotel was excellent as was our room after we requested a move, as we had no balcony.
The food is a bit repetitive so we used the dine around scheme 2 - 3 times a week. The entertainment is poor to say the least, you see the animation team in Mexico and think that the shows they put on in Egypt would be to the same standard but it isn't. I ordered an Irish coffee and it cost me £ 2 to get a luke warm cup so beware.
Over all the holiday was excellent value for money but perhaps we will use the Rehana the next time as it is right in downtown El Gouna and easier to do a bit of shopping.
We had been to Hurghada before but we decided to do the city tour and we were not let down there was so much more to see and do and the shops they took you to were excellent. We will be back in the next few years.
Brian from Perth.

Fabulous hotel, we stayed here for 1 week in June and had such a fantastic time...all the staff are soo friendly and polite. The decor is lovely and our rooms were spotless every day.
This hotel is in a superb location. Marina Views one side and Red sea views the other side.
The trips to Cairo, Luxor and Quad biking are highly recommended we did all these three trips and loved every minute of them.
We have only been back in the UK 22 hours and we don’t usually post praises but I would recommend anyone to visit this hotel...couple...family...single.
The restaurant has a fantastic variety of food and the animation is fantastic for children.
From Aqua Aerobics to Arabic speaking lessons. All the Egyptians we met were very helpful and friendly.
A class - top hotel *****

What a holiday! I have never felt so welcome - the staff just could not do enough for you. Our room was very spacious with a king-size bed and a massive balcony which overlooked the marina. The view was superb.
We were located above Peanuts bar which did get quite noisy in the early hours on a couple of occasions, but wasn't such an issue to want to give up our room.
The food was fine in the buffet restaurant but the evening meal was a bit limited...a bit plain for our liking with the same dishes on offer most nights. We took full advantage of the dine around option. What a great idea!
We enjoyed Chez Pascal a couple of times, really great steaks in here! We also tried the Moroccan restaurant and an Italian in downtown. We ended most nights in Peanuts bar, where we enjoyed the best Irish Coffee ever!
The head barman, Cheban, went out of his way to look after us.... as did the manager, Usaf.
The excursions we did were wonderful. We went on a 4 x 4 safari 125km into the desert! Our convoy of 4 vehicles enjoyed a white knuckle ride over very rough terrain. We had the craziest driver it has to be said - what the other Jeeps went around we simply flew over the top! Not for the faint hearted!
We also went on a 5 hour quad bike experience - absolutely wicked! Along with Dune Buggies, camel riding and a visit to a Bedouin village it was superb and definitely a trip not to be missed.
We took another excursion to an island (name escapes me) where we caught a boat from Hurghada. We tried snorkelling - but I was scared to death as we dropped off into a huge swarm of jellyfish the size of dinner plates! They were harmless but nevertheless freaked me out! The island itself was beautiful and we enjoyed our lunch there.
We have already decided to return - which is unheard of usually as I am one for trying different places. This was a truly great holiday. Enjoy your time there as much as we did!

This hotel is fab and although we’ve only been back 36 hours, we're thinking of going back in April.
Firstly our room was very nice and very spacious on the ground floor and about ten paces from the swimming pool.
Although an elderly couple in the next room asked to be moved as it was to noisy but this did not bother us in the slightest.
We had twin beds although we asked for a double but we just pushed them together.
On one particular night we were a bit merry and slept apart and the room cleaner left us a massive heart on the bed made out of towels the following day.
The hotel itself was very clean and immaculate; the cleaners were always around and always cleaning. Even the whole marina and the area we stayed was extremely clean, I was scared to drop any litter. This was never a problem as bins are everywhere.
The food in the hotel was very good, they catered for various nationalities. My partner is very picky about what he eats, but I was very surprised he ate more there than he does at home. This included veg and salad.
The waiters are very helpful, and can explain what most of the dishes are if you are not sure.
Our room was next to the swimming pool on the ground floor, we could walk out of our room and we were only 8 foot way from the pool, this was great. There lots of spots around the pool, where you can be in the sun all day, or shade, and even a bit of each. This was great for me as I love the sun, but it was nice to find some shade.
The temperatures through the week only went as low as 22 and as high as 29. The wind varied throughout the week, but this didn’t worry us at all you just made sure you had a fleece or coat incase. It would start to get colder after about 7 once the sun had gone down.
The hotel is in a great location, and has some of the best views of the Red Sea and the marina. And we cannot wait to go back.
