El Gouna Hoteller

This hotel is far from been a 5 stars hotel. It is a step above a motel in the United States standard. The capert and floor of the room were dirty. The lighting of the room was horrible & very bad for the vision. The standard overall was chocking to find in a such a rated 5 stars hotel (the poor quality of the room from marble, to very hard mattress and pillous, to broken items from walls not repaired, tables, missing light bulbs). We also check in with 2 infants & were chocked to be given a room on the 2nd level without an elevator so we had to carry 2 strollers at least 3 times a day. We had to change rooms many times and we were not given a ground floor room. The staff took 4 hours to check us in & we have no response from the manager. Very very low end quality and wrong rating.

Dive,walk explore the restarants at the port ( Mina ) and the down town. Crowded for breakfast.

Nothing!! I've booked this stay via my Kayak account which reflect my nationality as being an Egyptian, and Kayak has booked this via third party website called Amoma. My experience with Kayak/Amoma was acceptable, but I had a very bad experience with the reservation department of this hotel, which is really disasterous!! I've called the hotel to verify and confirm my reservation, where they confirmed it but they told me that I should carry a UK passport to accept my check-in, as this reservation was done with the rates of UK citizens not Egyptians; it would cost a UK citizen 650 EGP per night for standard room on all nclusive basis, Vs 1950 EGP per night for the same room if booked by an Egyptian ( WOW, locals pay almost three times the rates of foreigners, I thought it should be the opposite way arround!!). This was totally unacceptable, especially that I've succeeded reserving with the UK rates via my Egyptian Kayak account, and there was no outstanding rules clearly stating this. Finally, I've been told by Amoma's customer support aggents that this is an unexpectated and unacceptable behaviour from the hotel and they gave me a full refund for my stay, although my reservation was non-refundable.

El Gona is very nice place to go ands there are man y activates been arranged by El Gona village management every night which make your stay good If you want any things from the house keeping you must to go an take it by your self

It is cozy and its location downtown is a good location. No beach though. A bit overpriced and service is not consistently welcoming.
