Reviews
Overall exeprience was so great, won’t be our last visit.
Thank you Panorama Bungalows Resort El Gouna for a wonderful stay.
I went on this Holliday with my fiancé and her mother, we checked in everything was fine got to our room to realise they was doing building works next door to our room.
As well as that they was constructing a new pool and extension to the hotel right outside. This building work started from 7am in the morning with hammers and breakers smashing the room next door to bits. They did not finish smashing the next door room to bits until 11pm at night this was 7 days of the week !!!!!!! This is not what you want when you go on Holliday to have fun and relax. This ruined the Holliday for me.
Also If you are bringing young children for activities to do I would highly recommend not to as the entertainment was very poor at night time and during the day there was nothing to do. I was bored out my brain it was purely just sitting by the pool.
However the staff were brilliant and a credit to the hotel. Personally I didn’t rate the food being very “British” I lived on chips for 7 days El gouna city centre is beautiful and has very nice food in town.
The service at the hotel was great however we had issues with the water pressure in our hotel as the water stopped in the middle of our shower. The water was fixed by the next day and the pressure was better.
I recently stayed at Panorama Bungalows El Gouna in the Royal Bungalows Suite, and the experience was absolutely amazing. The room was extremely comfortable and spacious, and having a private pool made it feel like a true luxury escape. It’s the perfect setting for couples of all ages looking for a private, honeymoon-like experience.
The food was excellent — a wide variety that caters to everyone, whether you're a carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared and well-balanced.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile. Special thanks to Mr. Ossama at the front desk for being so accommodating, and also to the team at the Lagoon dining area, who were always welcoming and attentive.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, comfort, and top-tier service in El Gouna. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The food was another major letdown – not only was it lacking in variety, but the quality was also quite poor. Even the snacks felt like an afterthought.
Inside the room, things weren’t much better. The air conditioning didn’t work properly, the TV wasn’t functioning, and despite reporting these issues to the staff, no real solution was provided. The ceiling fan made a constant loud noise, and the bed, sofa, and pillows were uncomfortable, making it hard to relax or get proper rest.
On a positive note, the staff were very kind and as helpful as they could be, but it was clear that many issues were beyond their control.
What disappointed me the most was the unprofessional behavior at checkout – the receptionist insisted I write a positive review on Booking before leaving, which felt very inappropriate.
Overall, I would not recommend this hotel. For the price charged, the service and facilities should be much better.
The food? Absolutely incredible! 🍽️ From fresh local dishes to international options, every meal was bursting with flavor and served with a smile. Honestly, I couldn’t stop going back for more – it’s that good!
What makes this hotel stand out is the amazing extras they offer. They have their own boat service that takes you to different beaches in Hurghada for FREE! 🛥️ This was such a unique and fun experience – you can explore beautiful spots without any extra cost.
There’s also plenty of activities to keep you entertained, from beach volleyball to water sports and more. The resort is designed to keep guests engaged and happy, so you’ll never have a dull moment here.
The rooms are cozy and offer stunning views, making your stay both comfortable and scenic. The staff is beyond friendly, always ready to help and make sure you have the best time possible.
Whether you want to relax by the water, explore different beaches, or enjoy lively nights, Panorama Bungalows El Gouna has it all. If you’re planning a trip to El Gouna, trust me, this is the spot for you!
🌟 Thank you Panorama Bungalows Resort El Gouna for an amazing experience – can’t wait to come back!
