Golden Beach Resort

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Golden Beach Resort? It’s actually positioned really well on Ahyaa Road – about 12 kilometers out, which means you’re far enough from Hurghada’s main tourist chaos but close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you to the souks and restaurants downtown. I mean, sometimes you want that buffer zone, especially when you’re trying to actually relax.

The place has this solid, unpretentious vibe that I honestly appreciate in a four-star resort. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, if that makes sense. The lobby’s got these lovely traditional touches – think carved wooden screens and local artwork – but they haven’t gone overboard with the “authentic Egyptian experience” thing that some places push too hard. Check-in was smooth (I arrived around 2 PM on a Thursday), and the staff actually seemed to know what they were doing rather than just going through the motions. The rooms are what you’d expect – clean, comfortable, with that particular resort-furniture aesthetic that’s neither offensive nor particularly memorable. But here’s the thing: the air conditioning works properly, the shower has decent pressure, and you can actually open the windows if you want to hear the Red Sea in the distance.

What really sets this place apart is how it handles the beach situation. Look, Hurghada’s coastline can be hit or miss, but Golden Beach Resort has managed to secure a decent stretch of sand that doesn’t feel completely overrun. The water’s that incredible Red Sea blue-green that makes you understand why people fly halfway around the world for this. Early mornings are magical – I’m talking 6:30 AM when the sun’s just coming up and you’ve got the place mostly to yourself. The dive shop on-site is run by locals who actually know the good spots (there’s this reef about 15 minutes by boat that’s absolutely worth it), and they’re not just trying to pack you into the most convenient tourist trap. Food’s pretty solid too – the breakfast buffet has the usual suspects but also some genuinely good local options, and the evening dining doesn’t fall into that bland international resort trap. I particularly loved their grilled fish, which tasted like it had actually been caught recently rather than frozen for months. The pool area gets busy around midday, but honestly, that’s when you should be exploring anyway. With an 8.5 rating, it’s clearly doing something right, and after spending a week there, I can see why people keep coming back.

Reviews

• Shady from Egypt – 10 June 2025 (9/10)

  Who ever created this place is a magician to be able to use every inch smartly like this, they have around 5 or 6 restaurants , 4 big pools with one has a great aqua park , a great beach area , so when ever the hotel is fully booked you can never feel its crowded , all staff are really pleasant and cheerful , special thanks to (Mr.Ali) at the reception he is really one of the best employees you can deal with he is very helpful with a very decent personality and the hotel should be very proud that he is one of their team

• Marco from Italy – 13 May 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Room with no balcony, no information from the receptionist about the services available in the hotel.

• Anna from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

  Beautiful garden. Great food, for both vegetarian and non-vegeterian. I really liked soups, bread, bean and lentil based food and my husband really enjoyed beef. Variety of desserts. Asian restaurant was nice. Quiet room. Guest service team genuinely caring about guests and promptly helping with any request. Friendly reception team.
  
  What could be improved: Not much snorkeling opportunity around the hotel: shallow water and no reef. Smoking people (pool, beach)

• Michal from Netherlands – 7 May 2025 (9/10)

  It was our third vacation in Golden Beach and it was great as always. See you next year

• Barend from South Africa – 30 April 2025 (9/10)

  Great venue for vacation with excellent food
  
  What could be improved: Wifi service is poor! I bought a voucher to cover the whole hotel , but it didn't work and eventually returned it to reception and lost the money

• Adele from South Africa – 11 April 2025 (9/10)

  We enjoyed every moment!
  
  What could be improved: People smoking everywhere.

• Bianka from Hungary – 20 March 2025 (9/10)

  Had an awesome stay here! The staff, especially the waiters, were super friendly and always smiling. The rooms were really comfy, and the food was delicious. Would totally come back!
  
  What could be improved: Everything was okay, but the key cards were so frustrating. They kept not working, so I had to trek all the way to reception every time to get a new one. Super annoying!

• Hesham from United Kingdom – 20 March 2025 (7/10)

  Love the location and the amenities! The private beach is stunning and amazing activities are offered throughout the day!
  
  What could be improved: I can’t begin to explain how bad the food was. It was bland and the selection was too similar. They definitely recycled breakfast foods at lunch and lunch foods at dinner. Which isn’t good considering food hygiene regulation shows that you can’t serve food that’s older than 2 hours… I got the ill and had horrendous stomach aches from the food. We even tried the alacarte restaurant which was in a weird hut and it really wasn’t good.

• Filip from Czech Republic – 17 March 2025 (9/10)

  great staff, very good food quality – lot of fruit, nice clean room, beautiful garden, animation program for kids, clean beach, many activities available, all inclusive program
  
  What could be improved: wifi could be better, but nothing you cannot deal with

• Olívia from Hungary – 10 March 2025 (9/10)

  Best crew in the world! Everyone was so friendly, so sweet and remembered every detail of what we asked for. The hotel is wonderful and so is the food.
