Fodor's Expert Review Mövenpick Resort and Spa El Gouna

Hurghada 2, el-Gouna, Red Sea, 84513, Egypt Fodor's Choice

El Gouna's oldest resort—it opened in 1995—has its longest beachfront, plus such a range of amenities that it might be tempting not to leave the resort and explore the rest of the town. It's a large hotel, but accommodations are set in well-spaced clusters around four swimming pools (plus three kids' pools). The spacious rooms have a contemporary feel, with stone, mustard, and terracotta decor accented by cotton Bedouin rugs. All the on-site restaurants are no-smoking, which is not especially common in Egypt. Accessible rooms are available for travelers with disabilities, as are extensive family rooms and facilities for groups with young children.

PROS

  • Excellent selection of on-site eateries and activities
  • Attractions of El Gouna are just a shuttle-bus ride away
  • All no-smoking rooms

CONS

  • Poolside rooms can be noisy
  • Far from the center of town
  • Facilities are spread out and can require a long walk to access
