“ El Gouna is hassel free and relaxing with a wonderful climate from Oct to Apr. This was our 3rd visit and it lived up to our past experience. There is accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets but our firm favourite is the Sultan Bey Hotel. Whilst it was one of the first to be built in El Gouna, about 30 years ago, and some parts are looking a little tired, it has so much to commend it that it rates as our favourite. The staff from the Manager through to the gardeners are extremely friendly and polite, and those that serve the guests can not do more to ensure an enjoyable holiday - nothing is too much trouble. Food is buffet style with a very wide choice for breakfast and dinner. We stay on half board and have been more than happy with the food. For a change, we use the "dine around" feature which lets you dine at other hotels with a voucher or have the occasional meal in a local restaurant. Sultan Bey is ideally located on a lagoon but only about 5 min walk to Tamar Henna, the square in Downtown, where there are shops restaurants, and banks with ATMs. The Hotel boat ferry runs regularly to the beach and sea at Zeytouna island. The 115 rooms are in 5 blocks of interesting arabian style which are built around lovely gardens and many with lagoon views. The complex is fairly compact with easy access. Rooms are large and spotlessly clean with good storage, free safe and free Air Con/heating. They have good ensuite, mini bar fridge, and flat screen TV with satelite channels. Rooms have balconies with chairs and table. The hotel will organise airport transfer at reasonable cost. For us, Hotel Sultan Bey represents excellent value for money and provides our preferred holiday accommodation in El Gouna.

“ Top Tip: Hotel provides good Airport transfers on request by email resa.sultanbey@optima-Hotels.com.
