El Gouna Lagoon Paradise Penthouse

El Gouna Lagoon Paradise Penthouse Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into El Gouna Lagoon Paradise Penthouse, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property — but this place completely changed my perspective. The penthouse sits on the second floor of Building C4 in the Water Side Condos complex, and you know what really got me? That private rooftop access. I mean, having your own slice of sky in El Gouna feels pretty special, especially when you’re looking out over the lagoons that make this resort town so unique.

The Space Itself

The apartment layout works brilliantly for couples — there’s this open flow between the living area and bedroom that never feels cramped. The kitchen is actually functional (not just for show like some places), which came in handy when we grabbed fresh seafood from the local market. But honestly, the real star is that rooftop terrace. We spent most evenings up there with a bottle of wine, watching the sun set over the Red Sea. The views stretch across El Gouna’s signature lagoons and out to the desert beyond — it’s the kind of scenery that makes you forget you’re staying at a three-star property.

Location Perks

El Gouna itself is this fascinating planned resort town about 30 minutes north of Hurghada, and the Water Side Condos location puts you right in the sweet spot. You’re close enough to walk to the marina and downtown area, but far enough from the main tourist crowds to actually relax. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free — there’s always a spot available on-site, which isn’t something you can take for granted in Egyptian resort towns. Plus, the property’s location rating of 9.7 from recent guests isn’t just marketing fluff — couples really do love how peaceful yet accessible this spot is.

What Makes It Work

The penthouse setup gives you privacy that’s hard to find in traditional hotels, and the rooftop access means you’ve got your own private escape whenever you need it. The room itself is well-maintained and comfortable, though don’t expect high-end finishes — this is about location and space, not marble bathrooms. What surprised me was how quiet everything stays, even during peak season. The lagoon-side setting naturally buffers noise, and the building design keeps things peaceful.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.8 rating isn’t an accident — this place delivers exactly what couples are looking for in El Gouna. You get the independence of having your own space, the romance of private rooftop dinners, and easy access to everything the town offers. The value proposition is solid too — you’re getting penthouse-style accommodations without the five-star price tag. I’d definitely come back, especially knowing how hard it can be to find places in El Gouna that balance privacy, location, and reasonable rates this well.

Hurghada hotels keep families near waterparks, dolphinariums, and glass-bottom boat tours across turquoise lagoons.
