I recently stayed at The Chedi in El Gouna, Egypt, and was left underwhelmed by the experience, especially considering the high cost. The hotel itself boasts a stunning facade and promising amenities, but the value simply did not meet expectations. The biggest letdowns were the dining options; the food was uninspiring and did not reflect the premium price point. Each meal felt like a missed opportunity to showcase quality and creativity. For a hotel that charges top dollar, one expects every aspect, including dining, to dazzle, but sadly, this was not the case at The Chedi.
