GORGONIA BEACH RESORT - MARSA ALAM 5*
This highly impressive five star resort is located some 48km to the south of Marsa Alam town near to the entrance of the Wadi Gamal national park and one of only a few hotels in this area.
The hotel was only finished in 2008 so there are still one or two facilities under development but the staff are friendly, the food excellent and the local reef wonderful for snorkellers.
The majority of customers so far have been Italian but, judging by the language of reviewers, there have also been a significant number of French ( around 20 %), German (around 20%) and English speaking guests (around 5 to 10 per cent.)
Rooms: 352.
Room description & faciliities: Even the basic rooms are luxuriously spacious with an area of 60 square metres. They are spread out across a large area - 22 blocks in all - with interconnecting rooms and rooms with handicapped facilities available on the ground floor.
They feature all the usual facilities for five star hotels - Satellite LCD TV, safe, hair dryer and wireless internet access. Unfortunately we are not sure whether the wireless internet is at an extra charge (as is usual in most hotels) or not but will try to update readers shortly.
Location: On Marsa Alam's Red Sea coast, 48km south of Marsa Alam town and about 110km south of Marsa Alam airport and close to the entrance of the Wadi Gamal National Park.
Facilities: 700 metre private beach with 300 umbrellas and 600 sun loungers, 4 swimming pools including a heated pool and children's pool, excellent spa and health club, three restaurants, five bars, a bureau de change, laundry service, large shopping area with 15 bazaars ranging from souvenirs to a general store, hairdresser, car rental and limousine service.
