Ollystays Mangroovy Seaview 1BR Beach and Pool Free access

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places in El Gouna, but Ollystays Mangroovy really caught me off guard – and I mean that in the best way possible. When you first pull up to the Mangroovy Residence complex, it’s this sleek, modern development that honestly makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into some upscale Miami neighborhood instead of the Red Sea coast. The whole M7 building sits perfectly positioned so you’re getting those genuine sea views without having to crane your neck around other buildings, which – trust me – is rarer than you’d think in this part of El Gouna.

The apartment itself is what I’d call thoughtfully designed rather than just expensive-looking. You know how some places throw marble everywhere and call it luxury? This isn’t that. The one-bedroom setup actually works for couples or even solo travelers who want space to spread out, and the kitchen is functional enough that you could make a proper breakfast instead of just heating up instant coffee. What really sold me was stepping onto that balcony in the morning – there’s something about watching the kite surfers getting ready at dawn while you’re still in your pajamas that just hits different. The pool access is legit too, not some tiny afterthought but a proper community pool that’s surprisingly well-maintained. I went down around 7 AM most days and had it practically to myself, though it gets busier once the families wake up around 10.

Here’s what they don’t tell you in the booking photos: El Gouna can get windy (it’s why the kitesurfing is so good), but this particular spot in Mangroovy is sheltered enough that you’re not constantly battling sandstorms on your balcony. The building’s actually pretty quiet too – I was worried about noise from the Marina which isn’t too far away, but the soundproofing is solid. Getting around is easy since you’re basically central to everything El Gouna has to offer, though honestly, I ended up walking most places because the town is so compact. The only minor thing I’d mention is that check-in can be a bit confusing since you’re dealing with the building management rather than a traditional hotel front desk, but once you’re settled, it’s smooth sailing. For what you’re paying, especially compared to some of the resort hotels that charge twice as much for half the space, this place delivers on that whole “live like a local but with resort amenities” vibe that El Gouna does so well.

  Apartment has everything you need, built and furnished with high standards; hosts even left coffee and milk for us!

  Sehr schöne Lage mit Blick auf den Pool. Der große Wasserspender war einfach genial. Zudem war die Ausstattung mit Geschirr und Reinigungsmitteln sehr gut. Der Bright Star Supermarkt war sehr nahe.
  
  What could be improved: Beleuchtung im Schlafzimmer sehr grell und im Gegensatz zu allen anderen Leuchten nicht dimmbar. Keine Nachttischlampen verfügbar. Ausziehcouch im Wohnzimmer hat eine sehr weiche Matratze, als Erwachsener spürt man die Querstreben darunter.

• Angelika from Germany – 17 January 2025 (4/10)

  Die Lage ist gut, sehr nah zum Strand, direkt am Pool, ein Supermarkt ganz in der Nähe.
  Am Strand gibt es kostenlose Liegen und Schirme.
  Der Kontakt zum Vermieter/Verwalter war sehr freundlich, Anfragen wurden sofort beantwortet.
  Bei Ankunft war Milch im Kühlschrank und ein sehr großer Trinkwasserspender war vorhanden.
  Es gab Spül- und Waschmittel, Duschgel und Shampoo. Einige Kaffeekapseln, Tee und Zucker waren vorhanden.
  Die Matratzen waren gut, der Balkon windgeschützt mit Blick auf Pool und Meer.
  Im Schlafzimmer gab es reichlich Stauraum.
  Wir durften am Abreisetag bis zum Abend im Apartment bleiben.
  
  What could be improved: Leider war das Apartment nicht sauber!
  In allen Räumen große Staubflusen und lange schwarze Haare. Ablagen an der Spülen stark verschmutzt, Schmutz unter jedem Gerät und in allen Schränken.
  Brandflecken in der Bettwäsche und einige Handtücher mit Flecken.
  Wir haben ziemlich lange gereinigt um das Apartment für uns bewohnbar zu machen.
  Im Schlafzimmer gab es keine Nachtkästchen und keine Lampen am Bett.
  Das Sofa war völlig durchgesessen und der Bezug teilweise zerissen.
  Die Dusche im Bad müsste gründlich gereinigt werden.
