Soothing & Stilly 2BDR Mangroovy Pool & Beach Access

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Soothing & Stilly 2BDR Mangroovy Pool & Beach Access,” I thought it was some kind of auto-generated listing gone wrong. But here’s the thing about El Gouna: this whole resort town is basically a planned paradise that shouldn’t work on paper but absolutely does in real life. The property sits right in the Mangroovy Residence complex, which is actually one of the smarter developments here because it’s far enough from the main Abu Tig Marina chaos but close enough that you can walk over for dinner without needing a taxi.

The two-bedroom setup is honestly perfect if you’re traveling with friends or family – I mean, you get your own space but can still hang out together, and the pool access is the real deal. Not one of those “pool view” situations where you’re squinting at water three buildings away. You literally walk out and there’s the pool, plus the beach is right there too. What I really appreciate is how quiet it gets at night – El Gouna can be surprisingly peaceful once the day-trippers head back to Hurghada, and this spot really captures that. The beach access here connects to the lagoon system that makes El Gouna special, so you’re not dealing with the sometimes-rough Red Sea waves. It’s that calm, turquoise water that looks fake in photos but feels incredible when you’re actually floating in it.

You know what surprised me most? The little details that show someone actually thought about how people live, not just how places photograph. There’s proper counter space in the kitchen, the air conditioning doesn’t sound like a helicopter, and – this might sound weird – but the shower pressure is actually decent, which isn’t always a given in resort towns. The whole Mangroovy area feels more residential than hotel-ish, which means you’re not constantly bumping into tour groups in the hallways. During the day you’ll hear some activity from the pool area, but it’s more like pleasant background noise than party chaos. The management seems to get that people want to relax, not feel like they’re staying inside a nightclub. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if you want that El Gouna experience but prefer feeling like you have your own little slice of it rather than being in the thick of everything. Just know that if you want to explore the town – and you should, because the restaurants around Abu Tig Marina are fantastic – you’ll either want to rent a bike or be okay with short walks. That’s not a complaint though, it’s actually part of what makes this place work.
