Beautiful 2B. Rooms M7-4B Mangaroveey

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name “Beautiful 2B. Rooms M7-4B Mangaroveey” sounds like someone’s booking reference got mixed up with the actual hotel name – honestly, I had to double-check I was at the right spot when I first arrived. But once you’re standing at Abu Tig Marina looking out at those turquoise waters, you realize the location speaks louder than any fancy branding ever could.

This isn’t your typical Red Sea resort experience, and I mean that in the best way. El Gouna has this quirky, almost Mediterranean vibe that sets it apart from the mega-resorts down in Hurghada proper. The marina area where this place sits is actually pretty special – you’ve got these colorful buildings reflected in the water, and honestly, it feels more like you’re in some Italian coastal town than Egypt. The two-bedroom setup works brilliantly if you’re traveling with family or friends, though I’ll be straight with you – the decor is functional rather than Instagram-worthy. Clean, comfortable beds, decent air conditioning (crucial in summer), and those little touches like having enough power outlets near the beds that show someone actually thought about what guests need.

What really won me over was how the staff seemed to genuinely know the area. When I asked about getting to the dive sites, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a brochure – he actually called his cousin who runs boats and sorted out a better deal than I would’ve found online. That’s the kind of local connection you get in a smaller place like this. The marina itself gets lively in the evenings with people wandering around, but it’s not the kind of all-night party scene that keeps you awake. Actually, I found the gentle lapping of water against the docks pretty soothing. Parking was never an issue, which might sound boring but trust me, after dealing with some of the chaos in central Hurghada, it’s a relief. The 8-out-of-10 rating makes sense – it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any nasty surprises. Plus, you’re literally a five-minute walk from some decent restaurants and cafes, and getting a taxi to the main Hurghada strip takes maybe fifteen minutes. If you’re the type who wants to experience Egypt beyond the resort bubble while still having a comfortable base, this spot hits that sweet spot perfectly.
