I’ll make a reservation right away: we didn’t rest at the Moevenpick hotel, but we specifically went there for a detailed inspection, because we hadn’t been to El Gouna before, and we became very interested in this resort after reading the reviews.
About the good: the whole resort, as well as the territory of the Moevenpick hotel, is really very green. There are really a lot of channels, although I would not swim in them, because the bottom is muddy, overgrown with small algae. I did not feel an unpleasant smell, although the water there is hardly running.

Specifically about the hotel: in terms of level, it’s more like 3 *, not five, everything is very simple, somehow even a little bit scary ...The territory, albeit green, is not particularly well-groomed, in general the hotel leaves the impression of desolation and slight abandonment.

Weather: it was much more windy on the beach than on the same day in Hurghada, but I think you should not draw conclusions based on one day ...Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about food - we didn’t try it.

In general, I am very glad that I did not go there for all 10 days.
If there is an opportunity to spend more - and tours to El Gouna are significantly more expensive than, say, Sharm, Hurghada, Taba, etc. - I think it's better to go to a more interesting country, or spend money on additional excursions or services.
Good luck!
