Just got back from El gouna and stayed at the 3 corners ocean view. We had just been on an amzing Nile Cruise and looking forward to staying in a relaxing hotel. All I can say is how quiet El Gouna is!

Our stay at the hotel was perhaps not the best, and we did have a few niggles, the hotel claims to be a 4 rating but I would class it more as a 3 star in european standards.

We stayed in the Soliel building and although our room was pleasant enough our shower was intermittant running cold and then scaldingly hot, not only that the bathroom did smell on occasions, so you had to leave the extractor fan on to take away the smell. The room we stayed in was pleasant enough but obviously showing signs of wear and tear.

Restaurant wise the food was very much samey same each day and their take on themed evenings left a bit to be desired. When you think of oriental night you expect the theme to be chinese ish... not in their case, so beware !! Otherwise much of a muchness and very average.

Inclusive drinks - well its the first time I have had red wine with a head !! Yes thats right a head - also tasted vinegry, rose was more platable, did not try the white though. All the other drinks seemed ok although a bit rough round the edges.

As for service, we found the hotel to be lacking this on a certain number of occasions, on several times i was ignored at the bar whilst the barman served a man first before the woman even though I was obviously at the front of the queue!! We even found this in the restaurant when waiting for food to be cooked.

The pool area was ok with a choice of two pools, but the sunbeds were nearly all taken by 9am so you had to get down early to get one.

The animation team were ok, and seemed to work quite hard but not really for us,the shows were sometimes lack lustre.

I would tend to say the hotel is average-nothing special, in service, food or entertainment - there are probably better hotels in the area.

El gouna itself was a pretty place, but totally manmade for the tourists, and because of this it lacks character. It is a very empty place and you are lucky to spot people walking around, even on a evening. I guess most people tend to stay in their all inclusive hotels.

We found the weather to be extremely windy each day as well, Not sure if this is the norm in May, but quite unpleasant when it is everyday with no let up, there is only so much sand you can bear.

Would I go back to Egypt - yes, El Gouna - No,the reason it is too artifical for me, I like places with more character.

My husband and I stayed at the Ocean View from 16th May for one week All Inclusive and we had lovely and relaxing time.
It was our first visit to El Gouna , but we were before in Hurhada, in two four stars hotels. TTC Ocean View is better then previous hotel and El Gouna is better place for relaxing holidays too.
As in other reviews, the hotel is split into two parts and we stayed in the Du Port section. We have a big, nice and very clean room overlooking to marina .
The food is a little bit more then pretty average, but there was always something good to eat.
The hotel has two pools -we used pool in Soleil building becouse there is a small beach and you can swim in the pool or in the see.
The location of the hotel is ideal, everything is within walking distance, with access to easy and cheap transport around the lovely city and we would go there again.

We visited The Three Corners El Ghouna for a week in April. We chose this purpose built lagoon because we had already heard how busy, noisy, hassley, Hurghada was and we were glad we did. Going out of the school break was very peaceful as there were no children. Local beach was fine for sunbathing and for small children

The hotel staff were very very friendly and helpful. Our room attendant was charming making different animals out of the towels who were wearing my reading glasses!!!

The food was repetitive. They have a different theme every night and do try hard but, we did not enjoy it. The ‘dine around’ scheme is good, but the only restaurant that was half decent was Bleu Bleu (French cuisine). We really did not rate the other restaurants on the resort and one of them gave us food poisoning.

It is obvious that the resort owners make an effort to ensure that you do not get hassled by traders or staff which is great. But it is also worth remembering that many Egyptians live a life of poverty so tipping them as much as you can is a fair trade of recognition. Yes, they enjoy the bartering, but remember, they have to make a living.

We prefer to visit the country rather than hanging around the bar or pool and so
arranged a day trip to Luxor through Thomas Cook which was ok, quicker by plane but the day was VERY VERY long. We left the hotel at 3.45am and returned at midnight. However, the Egyptologist was excellent, very knowledgeable and detailed though it was 10 degrees hotter than El Ghouna (45c) and the lunch was excellent! Well worth it though, The Valley of the Kings and temples were wondrous!

We were also recommended the diving/scuba diving trip but unfortunately did not manage to go.

All in all, we loved El Ghouna and Egypt, and would go again, but to another area.

We spent a week at the Ocean View in April in order to enjoy some winter sun and that was exactly what we got.

The hotel has a fantastic location right on the Red Sea and it was wonderful to wake up every morning and drink in the view from the balcony.

The room was spacious and comfortable. All the staff were very helpful. Pool was fine and well protected from the fairly high winds which (we were told) can be expected at this time of year. El Gouna itself is a purpose built resort town, but has most facilities and a good selection of bars and restaurants.

We went all-inclusive and were very disappointed with the buffet restaurant (as others have commented). We then discovered the hotel's two A la carte restaurants which were both of a much higher standard. Booking through guest relations, you get an allowance against the food, and with drinks still inclusive, this is by far the best option.

We would return to this resort and hotel.
