Special style apartment with pool at lagoon

Hotel Description

You know what? When I first pulled up to this place in El Gouna’s West Golf area, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from an apartment rental with such a straightforward name. But honestly, “Special style apartment with pool at lagoon” pretty much nails it – sometimes the simple descriptions are the most accurate ones.

The location is actually brilliant if you know El Gouna at all. You’re tucked away in the quieter West Golf section, which means you’re not dealing with the main tourist chaos around Abu Tig Marina, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. I mean, you can walk to the golf course obviously, and there’s this lovely sense of being in a real neighborhood rather than just another hotel strip. The apartment itself has this relaxed, lived-in vibe that immediately puts you at ease – none of that sterile hotel room feeling where you’re afraid to touch anything. The furnishings are comfortable without being fancy, and there’s actually enough space to spread out your stuff, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms.

But here’s the thing that really sold me on this place – that pool situation is genuinely special. It’s not just any pool; it’s positioned right by the lagoon, so you get this incredible water-on-water view that changes throughout the day. Early morning, when the lagoon is still glassy and the light is soft, it’s almost meditative. By afternoon, you’ll see kitesurfers and boats creating little wakes, and honestly, just watching that activity while floating around is pretty perfect. The pool area never felt crowded during my stay (I was there in shoulder season, which might explain it), and there’s enough shade if you need to escape the Red Sea sun – and trust me, you will need to escape it sometimes. The apartment’s setup means you can easily grab drinks or snacks from your own kitchen rather than paying resort prices, which is a nice touch when you’re spending long lazy days by the water.

What really impressed me was how well-maintained everything felt despite being a 3-star place. The air conditioning actually works properly (crucial in Hurghada’s heat), the water pressure is decent, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t constantly drop out – small things that make a huge difference when you’re trying to relax. The check-in was surprisingly smooth too, none of that runaround you sometimes get with apartment rentals. I think what’s happening here is that the owners actually care about the place rather than just seeing it as a quick rental income.

The area gets pretty quiet at night, which some people love and others might find a bit too sleepy – depends what you’re after, really. If you want to stumble home from bars at 2 AM, you’ll probably want to stay closer to the marina. But if you’re looking for that sweet spot where you can chill out properly while still having easy access to El Gouna’s restaurants and activities, this hits it perfectly. That 9.7 rating isn’t just people being generous – it’s because this place delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense.
