We rarely leave reviews about the the numerous places and hotels we have visited/stayed in across the world (I appreciate this is a poor show on our part and we will endeavour to do better as we have benefited so much from those people who do leave reviews) but feel compelled, after having now booked our 7th stay for May 2024 at the Sheraton Miramar, to say this is a wonderful place to stay.(We were here in 2023 and 2022 and numerous years before then) We have wanted to keep this hotel and El Gouna a secret for so long, as it were, because it is the very best of Egyptian hospitality coupled beautifully with European levels of expectations and standards across the board with neither coming into conflict with the other so to speak. and selfishly, we wanted to keep it to ourselves. We are seasoned travellers and came across the Sheraton Miramar in 2010 (on our 3rd visit to Egypt) and have been coming here ever since. We are very particular in our holiday requirements and seek to get value for our hard earned money, just like everyone else. We keep coming back to the Miramar simply because the hotel is just lovely, even before the recent extensive refurbishment (granted, it had looked a little tired over the years but nothing tragic, as it were). The staff are just wonderful, from luggage porters, reception, room cleaning (rooms were always immaculate) bar staff, beach waiters and chefs. The food standards have been massively improved in the last 3 years in terms of freshness, content and presentation and we cannot fault it, and we are very particular (not fussy) about food. The service from the staff is faultless and they cannot do enough for you. The gardeners keep the grounds, which are beautiful, looking immaculate which is no mean feat. El Gouna itself is just a little piece of paradise combining again, the best of Egyptian culture and hospitality with European standards of expectations and service for foreign visitors. It is beautiful, safe and secure with something for everyone. However, if you're looking for a throbbing all night club scene akin to resorts in other parts of the world, this is not the place for you. There is night life in El Gouna but thankfully it is on the peaceful and quieter end of the scale (and hopefully it stays that way) All in all, there is a reason why we keep coming back here, despite the myriad of other lovely places in the world that we could visit for 14 days. I don't know whether this review is helpful to you but in terms of recommendation, if you visit wonderful El Gouna and want a little slice of additional heaven and comfort with excellent service and facilities, then stay here. It's not the cheapest place but for us we have had more than value for our money as it were and have never been disappointed.
