Lily’s Place – Scenic Lagoon View at Tawila, Gouna

Lily’s Place – Scenic Lagoon View at Tawila, Gouna Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Lily’s Place – Scenic Lagoon View at Tawila, Gouna, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in modest packages. The moment I stepped onto the terrace and saw that lagoon stretching out in front of me, I got it — this place isn’t trying to be fancy, it’s just nailing the essentials. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free too, which anyone who’s driven around El Gouna will appreciate.

That Lagoon View

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places that promise water views and deliver a sliver of blue between buildings. This isn’t that. The lagoon here is right there, and I mean right there — you can practically reach out and touch it from your room. Mornings are something else entirely, with the water catching the light and those little boats drifting by. Couples seem to lose their minds over this spot (and honestly, I can see why they rate it so highly), but even if you’re traveling solo, there’s something pretty magical about having coffee while watching the lagoon wake up.

Location Perks

What I really love about Tawila is that it feels like you’re in the heart of El Gouna without all the chaos. You’re close enough to walk to the main marina area when you want some action, but far enough away that you can actually hear yourself think. The golf course is practically next door if that’s your thing, and getting to downtown Hurghada takes maybe 20 minutes by car. I actually found myself spending more time just wandering around the immediate area than I expected — there’s this laid-back vibe that grows on you.

The Practical Stuff

The accommodations themselves are clean and comfortable, nothing groundbreaking but everything works as it should. The air conditioning keeps up with the heat (crucial in this part of Egypt), and the Wi-Fi is solid enough for staying connected. What impressed me most was how well-maintained everything felt — you can tell someone actually cares about this place. The staff knows the area inside and out too, which comes in handy when you’re trying to figure out the best spots for dinner or where to catch a decent sunset.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about Lily’s Place — it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or fancy spas, but you’re getting that incredible lagoon access and a genuinely peaceful setting that’s hard to find elsewhere in the Red Sea area. The fact that it consistently gets such high ratings tells you everything you need to know. People come here, fall in love with the view and the simplicity, and leave planning their next visit. Sometimes that’s all you really need from a place.

Apartments in Hurghada suit digital nomads with fiber internet, breezy terraces, and co-working lounges overlooking marinas.
