The hotel Gorgonia Beach is a good mittelklassenhotel. The complex is huge and spacious. The outdoor area is good clean and tidy kept. The structure but already badly worn, if one considers, that the complex nor not at all so old. But that didn't disturb me in my opinion not large. The guests are international, especially italian, german and swiss. In Egypt you much russian guests, in gorgonia not. Must not, but can be an advantage. read more

To the individual points prior to already in detail have been reported. I think the hotel in relation to size and layout very spacious and pleasant. Some tourists found the look somewhat too few playful but we liked it. Condition and cleanliness was good to very good. A shame that there is no wireless internet access. At least in the lobby this should be offered free. A credit of use to avoid, could a daily time limit be turned on.
The guest structure changes constantly. Were in the first days lots of italians present, came many german speaking guests (unfortunately ..., the number of the liegenreservierer at the beach).
Surprisingly also many Sweden. Age from young to old. Percentage but mostly over 40 i think it is also the season at.
Our russian friends are also timid available, but usually only russian springing, so for example in Germany alive. Therefore not a problem. Everything very pleasant and invites you to a cozy round on the outdoor terrace in the evening a. read more

It is a very pleasant hotel, with 5 star category (!).
Through the considerable size of the hotel area was the atmosphere despite the good occupancy rate never crowded. Only in the dining room it was sometimes a bit loud, because for the most part very small children were thereby. If you stay here but the italians should be, must be as german, even in the nose believe. If families their children for a long time and loud (although the mother or the father right sat) ignore and nerve slaying cry left, so it was at least during our stay ... - german. Until then the already very strong fully occupied service with a few friendly gestures aushalf. Unfortunately, there were also again and again guests, this hotel with a rate change.
Extremly was pleasant, that practically no russian tourists occur.
The food was good and diverse, particularly the daily changing barbecue on the terrace. The desserts were a dream and always beautifully arranged, bread-and breakfast excellent.
The service was - with or without tips-always good, we never had the impression, only for the tips work, which we therefore gladly gave.
Sometimes it seemed but, that the employees very under pressure stood (we almost sorry)-however, we found it still never hectically and always friendly. The intelligent, with its refined sense of humour of the egyptian is anyway very pleasant, even if guests should be, the than arrogant feeling.
The complex itself was clean and partly beautifully bepflanzt. In the peripheral areas were the grounds but a bit sparse and some palm trees broken, as well as the lawn partly brown, what but constantly used.
The atmosphere by the pool was pleasant, the music not too loud and the entertainers unobtrusive, friendly and always ready for fun.
The beach is the property approximately 700 meters long, very clean and fine sand, you can in southern, as in north almost endlessly long walks and then places, where the right next to banks, underwater incipient shelf is interrupted at sand also barefoot into the water go can.
Everywhere at the beach are spread out enough chairs with umbrellas and windbreaks. In reasonable distance there are cabins with cushions and towels, the quality of any body transported and ones are. The towels will, of course, daily washed. As critics claim may, that these löchrig and dirty, is a mystery to us.
Somewhat habituation needy is however (purely informative way!), in the field of hotelstrands only two entrances from the shore into the sea and also only with beach shoes, right stolpergefährlich to celebrate are. This is located on the right at the sandy beach underwater beginning shelf with a width of about 10-15 meters to the sandy surface on which one also well can stand, begins. Outside the entrances should not and must you really can't into the water, not only for nature conservation, but it is very rough and really sharp and the only about 20-50 centimeter under the surface of the sea. So if you have the fins in the hand, the provided barefoot above had, was always for sports quite exciting.
From the hotel beach available into the water barge into and then loosely swimming, also bring in the shallow sea water play (for example f. infants) is definitely not possible!.
However, we were then very quickly get used to it and virtually every guest had a mask with snorkel there, as there are absolutely underwater interesting and already in the banks the colourful surgeonfish everywhere swimming around.
The actual house reef (with red flags identified) one reaches then buoyant after approximately 100 meters on a approximately 3 meters water depth. Already inside so facing the land side you can see a beautiful underwater world, with rays, small sharks, sea turtles and many, lots of colorful fish and corals, the everything seems fairly intact.
A great shame is however, that it was only difficult with the-allegedly very nice outside (so sea side)-this hotel reef, reached. There are only two good durchschwimmbare passages, but for the novice in the hotel basically not identified. The main reef is partly very breitflächig often only a half metres under the surface of the sea. We have often heard, that people hardly got back and the whole rather not at all tried. Since the connoisseur almost all diving suits, or tauchshortys carried. The northern beach area is the entrance to the outer reef not at all characterized and southern section (at the diving school) are probably buoys, the however also not really to see. A jetty-nature or not-here would be a great asset and probably much less harmful than if the guests then (unintentional) over the reef walk.
It is urgently recommended mask, fins and tauchshorty to bring itself, because this is for the local rental fees in Germany loosely to buy can.
The school made a very solid impression. We have a course, but not dived, because the (quite pleasant) wind conditions the water quite agitated and we bad view feared. read more

You can tell the italian management of the hotel, for italian i can recommend the hotel, for germans of only conditionally.
Food, entertainment, evening shows everything more on italian designed, if the sea would not, actually for german totlangweiliges hotel, in my opinion altersheimmäßige atmosphere! Area much too extensive, and the partial very bumpy because of, and poor lighting, you need to on foot his, so the long paths very bother us, as is the only in the summer at 45 °c!? read more

It was a very relaxing vacation. The staff was very friendly and the food somewhat monotonous but apart from that very good quality. The whole complex is very spacious and nicely laid out. The paths on the complex are very uneven, so that the very careful must, so that you do not stumble upon it. Internettempfang really bad and very expensive. In any case the hotel is recommendable. read more

A wonderful area, the unfortunately a direct access to the 'deep' sea was missing. For swimmers in the sea this is a small downside. The problem but with a footbridge will be resolved. Very good food and all great in condition. Very spacious and quiet. You can freely on extensive and lighted paths walks on the complex - in evening-make. Of course the fine sandy beach. No importunate verkäufer and no noisy entertainers. All are very respectful. You, and if no interest, one is totally left alone. The is very pleasant and for Egypt unusual. read more

The hotel complex is beautiful and because of the size, it wasn't overcrowded. The paths are because of that it was a bit long, but that there is a pick-up service, we needed of course not.
At the front desk someone was that german always spoke and also on other staff met this often too.
As schnorchelfreund one comes on its costs here, even turtles could be observed. A camera with you is worthwhile.
We will be back! read more

We were in january/february for fourteen days on the complex. We really enjoyed it. The rooms were huge and very clean. Registered complaints were within minutes. The food was very diverse. There was for any taste a wide selection. The staff was very friendly and extremely polite. The size of the area was overwhelming. In spite of the good capacity of the hotel, you didn't feel pestered by the other guests. In Germany arrived we came with the cold winter not at all clear and at the end of february another time the gorgonia come back. We immediately felt at ... home and enjoyed everything so much like the first time. This hotel we will happy to recommend. read more

For us it was a relaxing vacation! The staff is super friendly, also without baksheesh ☺ at the front desk one was always with a smile welcomes.
The food was really great delicious and diverse! Who something to moan about has, of which i even home on the table look ☺
We have also each week once the fish restaurant & pizzeria visited! It was another atmosphere and was very tasty!
We find it just a great pity, the wonderful reef not better respected! There were three high chairs set up, the while we were there unfortunately never occupied. The ... rifftrampler you should not only by blowing caution.
Perhaps you over a footbridge into the water think about it.
A minus point, we must unfortunately still forgive! The internet is way too slow and also way too expensive:-( read more

The hotel has 348 rooms. These are 22 buildings with 16 rooms divided. We did that as a very pleasant felt, since the hotel guests good on the whole area distribute.
The hotel was very clean and was daily everywhere cleaned. With the all-inclusive we were very satisfied, you could whole day food and beverage supply as much as you wanted. In addition we got every day a bottle of water on our room. At the bar there were only open drinks.
There was especially italian and german tourists. The hotel was in the winter however half empty, which we ... thought was pleasant.
In the whole hotel area wlan is available, however for a fee. And this was so astronomically, that we had to pass. Was also nice!-) read more

For us it was once again a superb vacation. It is nice to see how the hotel every year still better for example the extension of the außenbereichs, the way with the beautiful but somewhat holpringen pflasters will be repaired and the desired footbridge to the outer reef approved and so on
Value for money is as already often described unbeatable.
From here thank you very much to the management (especially h. welch) and the entire serving staff (especially Ahmed and alaa from the panorama bar). read more
