Mövenpick El Gouna

Well its only my opinion but how standards have slumped here at Movenpick El Gouna. Once rated as 4/5 star but now more 3 star. WHY?...here we go...the all inclusive is a joke with local spirits which tasted nothing like Gin, Vodka, or Rum. The drinks menu states beer as Stella/Luxor/ Sakara but you can only have Stella and 300 ml cans at best. The breakfast in the main restaurant is exceptionally poor claiming its 4/5 star. Its 3 star at best. For example cereals are four choices but 2 are the same. The hot main choices are very poor. If you like omlettes your on a winner because you cant mess up an omlette. Too much cakes and pastries and bread. The overall service is very slow at the reataurants and this hotel does not have what the most of the worldwide population calls a BAR. Its a serving station where everone sits outside on a terrace, or you sit inside and watch a poor show for entertainment. The hotel could not even supply guests to watch a worldwide event called the WORLD CUP. You had to go downtown to watch such games. The free wifi was poor but you could pay £26 per week for premium wifi whatever that meant. Overall a poor return to Movenpick and clearly my last ever visit to Egypt as you are 10 years behinfd the like of Turkey and Mexico when it comes to All Inclusive holidays.

We had a wonderful relaxing holiday with my husband. The hotel's location is ideal and with gorgeous views either to the well maintainded gardens, lagoons or the red sea. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and clean, Waldo was very kind and quick in calling maintenance, when we had a problem with our safety deposit box. We booked only half board, but did not make much use of the dinner option, as the food was a bit without taste for us, though a large choice of all kind. There are many options downtown, so not an issue to us. The breakfast was great with lots of different choices. We used the massage services which were beyond expectations! The beach was not crowed at all, and whatever time you were coming you could find a place to lay next to the beautiful red sea! The hotel could use a refurbishment, especially in the furniture.

We got picked up at the airport by a kind driver that has a sign with our name on it. We arrive to what can only be described as paradise as we enter the hotel. And it’s all thanks to the amazing staff that works at this hotel. You feel welcomed by everyone from the reception to the kitchen, the gardners, painters, beach towel masters, room service and everyone else. The food options is amazing here and even for 14 days we found good food always. It’s lots of space to rest, I recommed the lagoon if you want more peace and the main pool if you want more party and life. The room itself is very clean and nice with polite and super-kind cleaners helping everyday. One day we even came back with a swan on our bed, just amazing! Overall it’s a great place to stay and I highly recommend it. Some tips for new travelers: Want 4G? I recommend going to Orange in downtown. Ask the reception to get you a Tuktuk that will take you there, takes 7 minutes. The minibank is safe and reliable in the hotel, but I do wish the touch screen was more accurate. You will need to press 7-8 times per "action". Tired of the sellers asking you for stuff everyday? Ask for a "do not disturb" sign where you also get towels everyday. You can hang it where you choose to stay for the day.

We have been staying at Movenpick El Gouna for 10 years now and love staying here, my husband Kitesurfing while I take advantage of the Animation team and this year was the best ever thanks to Vlad,Klash,Paola, Ali and all who entertained us at stretch in the morning, Zumba and shows in the evening all very professional thanks guys. This hotel has good restaurants and the managers, waiters can not do enough for you and the food has something for everyone. The rooms are kept spotless and bottled water every day for all, beds very comfortable and the staff very gracious.We will be booking again next year for sure, You can walk to Downtown or take a Tuk Tuk cheaply to town where there are restaurants and small supermarkets and very good pharmacy’s. The children love the shows at night and dancing with the Animation team it’s a joy to watch them well done Movenpick after Covid life is back to normal see you next year xx

This hotel, including management and staff, delivers what it promises. We ( Richi and Conny from Wesel from 11.10 to 2.11 ) were pleasantly surprised with the warmth and friendliness we were received. The check-in was very relaxed and from the moment we entered the hotel we didn't have to worry about anything, everything went to our complete satisfaction. Here the guest is really still king. Impressive the friendliness of each employee, from the gardener to the service staff, a smile always came back. The size of the hotel was made for us, always room at the pool. We had so much fun and met nice people (Michael and Sabine from Berlin). The service at the pool was pleasantly surprising, we enjoyed it very much. The sea is warm, clean and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The culinary, tasty food in the hotel restaurant can hardly be topped, from breakfast to dinner everything was great, we didn't miss anything. We will book this hotel again next year and are already looking forward to it, we can recommend it 100%. Keep it up and hopefully many more guests will come to feel as comfortable as we do. Big thank you for the nice time.Also the animation team' In the morning you can do a lot of sports 'with animation' 'And in the evening there are different and nice shows 'We weren't bored, thanks to all the team ' and thanks to Jimmy 'End funny' We will be back again in April .
