Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Apartment in el karma aqua beach resort hurghada near el gouna 2,” I thought someone just threw every keyword they could think of into the title. But you know what? Sometimes the places with the clunky names turn out to be hidden gems, and this spot actually delivers on what matters most.

The location is pretty sweet if you know the area. You’re getting that Red Sea coastline vibe without being stuck right in the thick of Hurghada’s main tourist chaos – though honestly, you’re close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you to the bazaars and restaurants when you want that energy. What I really appreciated was how it sits near El Gouna, which means you get easy access to those pristine lagoons and that whole laid-back resort town atmosphere. The apartment itself feels more authentic than your typical resort box – it’s got that lived-in comfort where you can actually spread out your stuff and not feel like you’re camping in a hotel room. The kitchen setup is decent enough that you can grab fresh fish from the local market and actually cook it, which honestly saves you a ton of money and gives you a real taste of how people live here.

The beach access through Karma Aqua is where this place really shines. I mean, you’re getting resort-style facilities without paying resort prices, and the water here is that incredible turquoise that makes every photo look like you oversaturated it in editing. The snorkeling right off the beach is surprisingly good – not world-class reef stuff, but you’ll see plenty of colorful fish without having to book an expensive boat trip. What struck me most was how quiet it gets in the evenings. You know how some places never really settle down? This isn’t like that. Once the day-trippers head back to their hotels, you get these gorgeous sunsets with just the sound of gentle waves, and it feels like you’ve discovered something special. The 8.7 rating makes total sense when you factor in the value – sure, it’s not luxury resort fancy, but for a 3-star place, the cleanliness is solid, the AC actually works (crucial in Egyptian heat), and the WiFi doesn’t make you want to throw your phone into the Red Sea. The only thing I’d mention is that if you’re someone who needs everything to be perfectly polished and Instagram-ready, this might feel a bit too real for you. But if you want to experience Hurghada more like a temporary resident than a tourist passing through, this apartment gives you that authentic slice of Red Sea life.

Reviews

  • Bryan from New Zealand – 24 January 2025 (9/10)

    Great communication with owner. Kitchen was well equipped. Washing machine easy to use. Soap and body wash provided. Bedding was clean and beds were comfortable.

    What could be improved: Need to be aware that all leisure facilities apart from the cold pools are part of the all inclusive. You can pay for this, which we did one of the days. The food markets around are also limited, so head into town and grab some supplies. The dinner at the all inclusive was yum.

  • Maresa from South Africa – 1 January 2025 (8/10)

    It was in a good resort, with limited access to the resort itself.
    The apartment was a good size for our family of 5 and the host, despite being out of the country, was extremely helpful and efficient with regards to communication and ensuring our comfort and satisfaction.
    There is a washing machine in the apartment – very convenient!
    Lovely ala carte restaurants in the resort
    It is also very easy to get an Uber to the marina from this location

    What could be improved: The WiFi, which is thankfully very cheaply bought from reception, is not available in the rooms (but is available in the resort).
    There weren’t enough big towels, but only because guests apparently keep taking them or leaving them at the beach.

  • Piet from Netherlands – 6 January 2025 (9/10)

    The host is very welcoming and can help with everything. The resort is very nice, also for small kids. There is a nice playground.
