EL GOUNA Scarab Club One bedroom

EL GOUNA Scarab Club One bedroom Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to EL GOUNA Scarab Club One bedroom, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. This apartment sits right in the heart of Scarab Club, and there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup. The building itself has that relaxed Red Sea vibe, and finding parking was actually a breeze — which, if you’ve driven around Egyptian resort towns, you’ll know is no small thing.

Location and El Gouna Magic

Here’s the thing about El Gouna — it’s this planned resort town that somehow manages to feel both polished and laid-back at the same time. The Scarab Club location puts you right where you want to be, honestly. You’re walking distance from the marina (maybe ten minutes if you’re strolling), and the whole area has this pedestrian-friendly feel that’s rare in Egypt. I mean, you can actually walk to restaurants and cafes without dodging traffic or construction. The lagoons are everywhere here, and from certain spots around the property, you catch these glimpses of turquoise water that remind you why people fall in love with the Red Sea.

The Space Itself

The one-bedroom setup works really well — it’s not huge, but it’s thoughtfully laid out. The room has enough space to actually unpack your stuff (revolutionary concept, right?), and the living area doesn’t feel cramped. What I appreciated most was the kitchenette — nothing fancy, but functional enough that you can make coffee in the morning or store some snacks. The air conditioning works properly, which in this climate is basically non-negotiable. The bathroom’s clean and modern, though the water pressure can be a bit temperamental — typical for the area, really.

Daily Life and Amenities

You’re not getting a spa or fancy room service here, but that’s sort of the point. There’s a restaurant nearby within the Scarab Club complex that serves decent food — nothing that’ll blow your mind, but solid Egyptian and international dishes. The pool area is where people tend to gather, and it’s got that community feel where you end up chatting with other guests. The free parking on-site is genuinely helpful, especially if you’re planning day trips to Hurghada (about 30 minutes) or want to explore other parts of El Gouna.

Why Guests Love It

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about El Gouna’s lagoon setting, and this apartment gives you a real base to explore from rather than feeling trapped in a resort bubble. The 9-rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does offer — a clean, comfortable space in a genuinely beautiful location — it delivers on completely. Plus, you’re staying in one of Egypt’s most successful planned communities, which means reliable infrastructure and that rare feeling of safety and walkability you don’t always find in resort areas.
