Panorama Bungalows El Gouna
El Gouna, Egypt

Mrs R Stevens, Horsham

Could be a really beautiful place. Shame it's all so tatty. Room service non existent, room bungalow so tired and filthy. Room cleaning doesn't mean the cleaning - cleaning boys making your bed and changing towels.

Miss V Marshall, Manchester

Pleasant hotel, lovely staff. Great location. Food good if you're not expecting burger and chips and bacon butty. Remember this is Egypt not Spain. Good value for money.

Mrs A Speed, Blackpool

Fantastic location, excellent staff, perfect.

Mrs J Bond, Bromsgrove

The hotel rooms are of a good size. The meals are of an excellent standard, the hotel staff are very friendly, there are lots of activities on hand. The hotel is well placed in El Gouna. We had a great holiday and the Panaroma hotel is worth a visit.

Mrs J Sjostrand, Oxie

Wonderful staff, nice and clean room, good food. We have been 3 times to this hotel, we are coming back.

Staff were friendly and would do anything for you. Freshly cooked eggs cooked every morning by the chef for breakfast, the rest of the meals you could always find something to eat. It was in walking distance to the centre of El Gouna. You could always take the boat to a nearby beach where there were drinks and snacks all free with the all inclusive or just stay around the pools and enjoy. If you struggle with steps it would be a challenge to get to reception and the bar as there is no lift but plenty of steps. We would go again.

Value for money that you pay. I have spent 6 weeks last year at Panorama bungalows El Gouna and just arrived back after 20 days. For me I love the fact you can be in downtown El Gouna in 3 minutes and sample all that it has to offer from amazing food, beautiful Marinas and just walk around this purpose built secure resort. Most of the staff are lovely and go out of their way to make you happy. I like that the bar is not 24 hours so you have a good sleep. My favourite thing is going on the little boat to Zeytouna island and spending the day on the beach. Food is okay for Egypt but like going out a lot as at the moment the pound is strong so you can eat out cheaply. Breakfast has everything you could want. You can have lunch on the beach or go back to main restaurant. There is a large pool with Jacuzzi and a very small beach area if you don't want to go to Zeytouna island which you can walk to as well as go on the boat. The bar area is not very pleasant or appealing and neither is the appearance of the hotel from the outside or reception but don't be put off as everything else is great and location amazing.

Mrs J Nash, Dorking

Amazing staff.

Ms K Felton, Merthyr Tydfil

Great hotel in fantastic location, arrived and was booked in and shown our room within minutes. We stayed in main building, room was huge with 3 double beds. We stayed in the room for a week then upgraded to a bungalow at a small cost/. Bungalow was fine but located by the kids pool by the big speaker witch played music from 8am 'til 9pm, was too noisy for the wife so asked for another room, again no problem for the staff who quickly got us packed up and moved us within 30 minutes. This room was perfect, all rooms were spotless with clean sheets and towels every day, although the hotel is classed as 4 star, the staff were way higher, from cleaners to reception staff, all couldnt do enough for you to make sure you enjoyed your stay.

Food was great always hot with good selection, after 2 weeks did get a bit samey but thats how it goes. No animation team here but that didn't bother us, we had a few shows put on belly dancers and the like. There is a free shuttle boat to take us to the island beach which was lovely with the all inclusive there as well. Shops in the hotel were ok mostly but watch Tony he will take what he can get from you never take his first price especially on the cigarettes. We bought ours £10 for 200 others not knowing paid £45. Location of hotel is perfect, 4 minutes stroll into down town or a fun ride in a tuk tuk for about a quid. There are loads of bars restaurants and live shows all very cheap. San Siros and the Snack Shack are well worth a visit. There is a shop called El Gouna gift shop not far from Puddle Ducks, in my opinion the best shop and keeper in Hurghada, Waleed his name a total gentleman. We got all our cigarettes and other stuff from him. In all a fantastic hotel and location. Would I go again? You bet, already searching Sunshine to book the next one.

Miss C Webb, Bognor Regis

3rd stay at this lovely friendly hotel, welcomed back with open arms. Fab to see all the staff again, lovely room waiting as requested. Comfy bed with fresh towels each day and bottle of water as fridge in room. Always smiling housekeeper Sherif, great guy, room always clean and refreshed. Towels always on bed at pool. Ayman and team always helpful and happy to help. Mohamed and staff at pool bar and hotel bar always with great service. Food in restaurant still good with lots of choice and always something to eat that I liked as I'm fussy! Service is excellent as always. Needed heater fixed in room and quickly done as colder at night although lovely sunbathing by pool in day. Spa excellent with massage each day, wow wish could have at home each day! Beauty salon nice service and good price but could do with screened off area with treatment bed, bit of privacy desired. Staff work hard and do good treatments. Recommend threading and face massage. Couple of shops at hotel and staff could be bit happier and maybe not so abrupt! Some nice items bought sunglasses and watch, helpful guy. Handy for juice and chocolate if not wanting to walk to downtown for cheap supermarkets. New Years Eve was amazing buffet, good entertainment with Jimmy, tombola bit long winded and didn't win anything even though they seemed to read out a lot of numbers! The staff worked hard and made it fun night. Love this hotel for its staff and location and price even if little bit more for single room. The hotel does need refurb as everyone says but it's still fab place. Just repaint restaurant and make reception, lounge and bar area fresher and more cosy and it will be great. Wish all the staff a great 2017 and a busy one. See you all again soon. September and Christmas if all goes to plan. Happy holidays thank you. Shokran. Caz.

Mr J Watson, Camberley

Room was OK, drinks poor, food alright. The place needs a lot of work doing on it, very tired.

Miss E Hazell, Clacton-on-sea

Had no rep to book tours. All staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough to help.

Mr P Chatfield, London

Friendly staff, great facilities, food always something to eat. Recommended.

Mr B Logan, Barnsley

Hotel was only half full but everything was kept clean although the resort is looking a bit dated. Food was good but of limited choice but prepared well and nobody went hungry. There was still the usual entertainment on belly dancer, man with skirt, folk dancers and a singer on different nights. You are only 10 minutes from downtown where there are shops restaurants and pubs. Weather was approx 32c all the time we were there with a warm breeze.

Mr D Nelson, Southampton

It is not 5 Star luxury but the rooms are spacious and the food plentiful. The staff are beyond 5 star. They could not be more friendly or helpful.

Mrs M Smith, Sheffield

Very clean and tidy although the food was not very good.

Mr T Rogansky , Wallasey

Although the hotel could do with a bit of a face-lift it is still well worth a visit, so peaceful, the staff are all so helpful.

Miss C Cook, Leeds

Really great hotel where nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful surroundings and sea view bungalows superb. All staff superb and really want you to enjoy your holiday.

Mrs J Nash, Dorking

Love this hotel, staff are amazing and location fab.
