Quite good all inclusive - plan, nice assortment of coctails and food. Only the ala cartes could be better. They serve same food than the buffet but you just get is served to the table. More variance. Also the reservation for the ala cartes is difficult and they are always fullybooked so we couldt even try them all. 

Waiters seems to serve more the house personnel who weirdly eat with the customers at same restaurant. It didnt feel nice when the cook sit whith his kitchen clothes next to us or the officers with theis suits when you are yourself at holiday mood and dressed accordingly. Usually there is own cantines for workers. 

Not the best beach, there isnt anything to see compared to some resorts with reefs with lot of fishes but they do have a free golc course (Par3) so it compensates, you cant have it all, can you. 
Big pool was freezing, even the sea is warmer so if you rely on that one and dont like to sea then you will be dissapointed. We liked the beac more as the pool gives the swimming hall wibes with the dreary tiles. I wish they would make pools more exitng and this is not for Steigenberger but generally. 
Nice touch that they filled the minibar daily with coke, beer and juices and it was included. 

They had some kind of evening program but unfortunately it was always in the front of buffet restaurant so you would need to dine there to enjoy it. Why there isnt anything at the beach? Beach parties, disco, dance shows etc. It would be nice!

Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada – A 5-Star Resort That Feels Like 2 or 3 (depending on the topic). Before booking Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada, we did our research—watched videos, checked reviews, and set our expectations accordingly. Listed as a 5-star hotel on Google and TripAdvisor, we expected a premium experience. However, once we arrived, we quickly realized that the reality fell far short of the rating.

1. The “All-Inclusive” That Isn’t Quite All-Inclusive

The hotel advertises six restaurants, but the all-inclusive package only grants access to three—and even that comes with strict limitations. You must stay at least five nights to even qualify for reservations; otherwise, the buffet is your only guaranteed option. But even if you meet the criteria, getting a reservation is a struggle, and once inside, you’re pushed to pay extra for items outside the package. The upselling is relentless, from premium wines to certain dishes, turning what should be a relaxing meal into a sales pitch. Oh, and if you were hoping for fresh juice with breakfast? Extra charge.

2. Facilities: Decent, But Not 5-Star Worthy

✔ The pool, beach area, and lounge are well-maintained.
✔ Bars are available all day, and staff work hard to keep areas clean.
✖ Some rooms show clear signs of neglect, making this feel nowhere near a true 5-star hotel.

If this hotel were truly 5-star, there wouldn’t be visible maintenance issues, questionable service, and inconsistent quality across the board.

If you’re looking for the ultimate place to relax your mind and recharge your soul, look no further than Steigenberger Hotel Resort Gold El Gouna. From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of peace and luxury. The atmosphere is absolutely breathtaking –, stunning views, and beautifully designed spaces that make you feel like you’re in paradise. 🌊☀️

The food? 🔥 10/10 – every meal was cooked to perfection, with so much variety and flavor that every bite felt like an experience. Whether it’s breakfast with fresh pastries and exotic fruits, or a gourmet dinner with world-class dishes, this resort sets a new standard for culinary excellence.

The service? 💯 Simply amazing. Every single staff member I interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely cared about making my stay unforgettable. From the front desk to the housekeeping team, to the restaurant staff – everyone was so helpful, attentive, and always greeted me with a smile. It’s rare to find such consistently outstanding service.

The rooms are elegant, spacious, and spotless, with everything you need for total comfort. The resort offers so many relaxing spots – from the private beach areas to the stunning poolside – perfect for unwinding with a drink in hand and just enjoying the calm vibes.

If you want to escape the chaos of everyday life, this is hands down the best hotel in Egypt. 🏝️ Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, Steigenberger Hotel Gold El Gouna gives you an unforgettable experience that combines luxury, serenity, and world-class hospitality.

✨ Thank you Steigenberger Hotel for making my stay truly special – I can’t wait to come back!

It's a hotel I like very much. I didn't expect Egypt to have such a good place! The hotel service staff is very friendly. From the welcome drink upon check-in to the free bars everywhere, it is a great experience. We also played golf on the par-3 holes twice. Except for the balls that we had to buy, everything else was borrowed for free, which was very convenient!

I believe this would be my favorite hotel no matter how many years pass.

Beautiful resort hotel by the Nile River Bank.
Excellent buffet breakfast which cater to a large variety of nationalities. There were French dishes, Japanese/ Asian food, English breakfast, Local Egyptian food. The free breakfast restaurant is situated right where you have an awesome view of the Nile River. There are 3 restaurants that opens until 10pm so we still had dinner after a day’s out exploring. Our rooms were clean and good wifi access. All that we needed were provided by the excellent staff. There were 10 of us so we had a total of 4 rooms and all our roooms had a nice view of the pool. There are spa and massage facilities. There are souvenirs shops inside the hotel area. It was truly a relaxing holiday.

We loved this hotel. The staff made it an awesome experience. Everyone that works here was accommodating and helpful. Restaurants had delicious meals and the servers were quite friendly. The room was quiet, with comfortable beds and pillows. One of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in several years of travel and we’d stay here again for sure. Can’t beat the price!

A very nice place to spend your time and relax. It has an oriental style, and the view of the gulf makes it extra special

The location is perfect. Quiet and romantic. You can walk to Al Hamra mall. You have the beach. Also a bus station is not too far if you want to go to the city.
