Compare Golf Resorts & Hotels in El Gouna

"Fantastic place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Luxor, Cairo or Alexandra, or if you just wanna get some sun when the European grey kicks in after winter. El Gouna as a town/region has strict security so no street hawkers can come in and hassle the tourists. If you're only seeing El Gouna within Egypt don't think this is the real Egypt. Do recommend this as a part of a wider Egyptian trip. There isn't much around this hotel, but within the resort itself there is plenty to do to keep you occupied. If you're the type that likes to see the local area you might want to consider staying up in downtown el Gouna on the northern side of the golf course where there are some nice looking places to eat. That being said, a tuk-tuk is 10 minutes and £1/€1 to get there. We did all inclusive so it wasn't an issue for us. The food at Paradisio was the real highlight. Absolutely loved it. We've not been to Sharm but have had a few different friends who have and from what they've told us, fork out the little bit extra and hit up El Gouna. Make sure you check out some the extra activities like kayaking and snorkelling trips. Pro tips: - Organise an airport transfer to your hotel. We got ripped off by the airport taxi at Hurghada. - if you're getting a GoBus from Hurghada to Luxor, the local buses from El Gouna to Hurghada don't link up with the main bus station so factor that in to your travel time. Fortunately we have ourselves loads of buffer or we'd have missed our bus."

"Beautiful place"

"Amazing"

"We had an amazing time at the Ancient Sands hotel. The facilities were amazing, great pools, good restaurant and very easy to move around from the hotel to the city center. The hotel provides you shuttle to and from the city center and they have an exclusive beach only for who is staying at the hotel. The breakfast is also delicious!"

"Wonderful hotel with a friendly staff centrally located."
