Highly recommend. The staff is helpful and with a sense of humor, the food is varied and tasty. Picturesque huts. Clockwork animators with an extensive entertainment program : ) Center of El Gouna - three minutes walk. Cons: Evening programs are so-so, although I rarely went to them. The room was cold despite air conditioning and dark (dim lighting).

Highly recommend. The staff is helpful and with a sense of humor, the food is varied and tasty. Picturesque huts. Clockwork animators with an extensive entertainment program : ) Center of El Gouna - three minutes walk.
Cons: Evening programs are so-so, although I rarely went to them. The room was cold despite air conditioning and dark (dim lighting). Outside the windows - a go-kart field, because of this, the room was noisy in the evenings. In the shops at the hotel annoying sellers, as elsewhere in Egypt.
Nevertheless - nice hotel, great fun.

We chose a suitable hotel and ended up in El-Gouna. The village is located 30 kilometers from Hurghada. THE THREE CORNERS RIHANA INN 4* was to our liking for many reasons. The magnificent joint territory uniting several hotels brought variety every day and made it possible to get away from the ordinary. The hotel is located on the seafront, sandy beach, consists of six 3-storey buildings.

We chose a suitable hotel and ended up in El-Gouna. The village is located 30 kilometers from Hurghada. THE THREE CORNERS RIHANA INN 4* was to our liking for many reasons. The magnificent joint territory uniting several hotels brought variety every day and made it possible to get away from the ordinary. The hotel is located on the seafront, sandy beach, consists of six 3-storey buildings. We went through the tour operator Pegasus. We were immediately warned that this direction was little studied by our tourists, mostly not our people would be there. This circumstance suited us well. And as if we had arrived at the place, only a couple of days later we heard a speech that was understandable to us. These were very cheerful tourists from Russia, who constantly fermented (because they brought everything with them), we got to know them later (maybe someone who reads, respond). Apparently, from the former expanses, there were not even a dozen of us. And the hotel has more than 150 rooms. Considering that we were traveling in the relative season, the second decade of November, we had doubts about swimming in the open sea. Therefore, we chose a hotel with several pools, and in which the water turns out to be heated. The hotel offers swimming in the sea, bus delivery every 15 minutes from the main building, hardly a walk away. Let's go once. To take a dip, you need to walk 100 meters along the sea. True, there was a strong wind, and the water was 20 degrees. The degrees of water did not suit us and we went to the second swimming place in the water from the Red Sea, but only in the lagoon. The hotel complex is adjacent to the edge of the lagoon. Of course, the landscapes of El Gouna are a separate conversation, but here, sitting on the shore of the lagoon, it seems that you are in some kind of cartoon, these buildings of the richest people in Egypt seem so toy. Yes, but the water was not much warmer than the sea. Having made an attempt to accustom the body to the temperature of the water, and not having received positive emotions from this, we went to the pools, of which there were 3 on the common territory. The water here met our criteria and we spent the whole period with pleasure there. It was possible to sunbathe from 07:00 until breakfast. Sunbathing and swimming only we. Only our people can understand what this high is. Having worked up an appetite, it was possible to have breakfast in two restaurants. The breakfasts were quite varied. With the all-inclusive system, the most interesting thing began after the bars began to work, and there were five of them. We usually dined at the main restaurant, although on the lagoon even before lunch you could have a snack, such as sausage sandwiches with salad and potatoes, even grilled meat was cooked. Here you can also drink refreshing drinks. Lunches and dinners were decent, there was enough of everything: meat, vegetables, sweets, here you could take beer or wine, it was stronger in 10 meters. After dinner it was a little hot, you could relax in the room. In the room: individual air conditioning, TV, safe, mini-bar (for a fee). The only windows overlooked the territory of the hotel, there was a karting track, sometimes in the evening it got to.
It was possible to sunbathe near the pool until the beginning of the fifth, then the sun set behind the hotel and it became cool. After dinner, you could sit at the bar for a cocktail, which we often practiced, listen to live music while sitting in the fresh air, or go to the center of El Gouna. El-Gouna, as we were told, is a small, relatively young building, a prosperous town. Many of the richest people of this state lined up here, given the stability and solidity of their power, tourists from other regions are brought here to show all this, but there really is something to look at. 10-15 minutes walk to the center. By the way, ignorance of the English language perfectly did not give us the opportunity to use a free form of transport for us - a bicycle. Already on arrival home, in the tourist card, we translated from English about this possibility. The center is small but pronounced. Markets, shops, restaurants. The population is friendly, knew some words in Russian.
Every day after breakfast, the animators held different water games by the pool, lured them to do different water exercises to the music. The truth is in a foreign language for us. Yes, it was stressful there. The staff did not understand Russian at all. Our Guide visited several hotels and visited us for one hour. We memorized all our questions, and then asked him. Believe me, it's not very convenient. Yes, and some kind of attitude was like: rather, he is not for us, but we are for him.
What did PEGAS touristic offer for excursion programs for El-Gouna? I will give the cost of an adult ticket in $: Jerusalem-320, Cairo by bus-68, by plane 235, Luxor - 73, Cairo-Alexandria (2 days) - 138, submarine - 55, motorcycle safari - 40, Water park, jeep safati - 35, fishing - 40, scuba diving - 55. In general, about 30 excursions are offered.
Being in Egypt, apparently, one should not miss the opportunity to see the first wonder of the world - the pyramids and visit the capital - Cairo. We must pay tribute to our hotel guide, he was ready to sell us all the existing excursions. Heard about the opportunity to save money and be in a mixed group, listening to the same thing in different languages, I naturally bought a tour from him, and went with our tourists. At 2 am I was put on the highway to our bus. When it became light, a long line of buses opened up, which followed the same route as we did in Cairo. The pyramids turned out to be interesting, but somehow shabby. What struck me was the Cairo Museum. The time allotted for its inspection is negligible compared to the values that are there. So on the trip, another day of stay in Egypt passed, the tour was interesting but long and tiring. And in the morning again, when my wife went to do her favorite water aerobics, I went towards the bar to have a drink. In the bar, however, as usual, the choice was small: white wine, red wine, rum, vodka. All local drinks were sold from 10.00 to 23.00.
I'll tell you how we were sent back to the airport. For some reason, there was no information on the information stand that we were leaving tomorrow. But knowing this, we were worried, since we had a plane during the day. Of course we couldn't find a guide. The next day, having breakfast, and renting a room, we thought about how we should proceed. There was no one to talk to, no one understood us. We watched the coming buses. An old bus came for the nemchura, and they all, together with things, filled up and occupied all the seats. They were heading exactly where we needed to go. They left ! ! And suddenly, a beautiful passenger car drives up, and a tall young man with a Pegasus poster comes out of it. He checked our names and we got into the car for the transfer to the airport. We were very excited and satisfied, and realized that the guide is a reptile, and Pegasus is a class!
