Hotel Description
You know what really surprised me about this place? The name says “hotel” but it’s actually more like having your own private apartment right in the heart of El Gouna – and honestly, that’s way better than I expected. When you pull up to the address on طريق الجونة, you’re literally steps away from the lagoons that make this Red Sea resort town so special. I mean, Swan Lake isn’t just a pretty name they slapped on for marketing; you can actually see the water from the windows.
The three-bedroom setup is perfect if you’re traveling with family or a group of friends who want space to spread out without paying resort prices for multiple rooms. What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to keep that homey feel while still giving you hotel-level cleanliness and service. The kitchen actually works – like, really works – which is rare in vacation rentals. I ended up cooking breakfast most mornings because there’s something nice about having coffee on your own schedule, especially when you can sit outside and watch the early morning light hit the lagoons. The bedrooms are generous sized too, and you won’t hear your travel companions snoring through paper-thin walls like you do in some places.
Here’s the thing about El Gouna that most people don’t realize until they get here – it’s got this unique vibe that’s part Egyptian coastal town, part planned resort community. You’re close enough to Hurghada (maybe 25 minutes) to hit the bigger restaurants and nightlife, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the crowds and chaos. The location on طريق الجونة puts you right in the middle of everything that matters in El Gouna itself. You can walk to the marina, grab dinner at one of the waterfront spots, or just wander around the colorful buildings that make this place Instagram-famous.
What really sold me on recommending this place is the attention to detail – fresh linens that actually smell good, air conditioning that keeps up with the heat (crucial during summer months), and a check-in process that doesn’t make you want to turn around and go home. The 9-star rating isn’t just inflated reviews from friends and family; you can tell they’re serious about keeping guests happy. Sure, it’s technically a 3-star property, but honestly the experience feels more upscale than that suggests. Sometimes the star system doesn’t capture what really matters – like having enough hot water for everyone to shower after a day at the beach, or WiFi that doesn’t cut out every ten minutes when you’re trying to upload photos.
If you’re the type who wants to experience Egypt beyond the typical resort bubble but still have a comfortable base to come back to, this spot hits that sweet spot perfectly.
