Great Villa for a great Holiday !
My Wife, son & I Stayed in the villa for the week leading up to Easter and had a great time. We have visited El – Gouna previously, but stayed at the movenpick, and fancied a Villa this time around. We have stayed in Villas all around the world and this Villa, belonging to Phil & Lesley, was up there with the best of them.We booked the private transfer with Phil from the airport, great value for money and always preferable to a Taxi ride into the unknown. We were met by the representative from the management company at the Villa and were talked through everything necessary.The villa was a 5 minute tok-tok ride from downtown, with Abu Tig Marina being a couple of minutes further on. The villa is more than big enough and really well equipped, with beach towels supplied. The pool is a great size and a single depth, which is great if you have younger kids. The numbers of maintenance staff were more than I have seen in some hotels, with 5-6 visits per day from gardeners, pool cleaners, pool heating guys etc. It`s isn`t the place for wild nights out, but is ideal for lazing around the pool and going out for a nice meal and a couple of drinks in the evening. We chose to heat the pool, and were glad we did although it would have been ok once you got a few lengths in and warmed up! The villa had everything you need, but the one thing missing was an iPod dock, so take some small travel speakers if you want to use your iPod.We shopped in Bestway downtown and asked them to deliver the food at the checkout, which they did a couple of hours later. TIP put all of your chilled/cooled items into a separate couple of bags and take them with you, that way they won`t be warm when they`re delivered.If you want an alcoholic drink, none of the supermarkets sell alcohol of any kind, so you have a couple of options : call cheers, who will deliver to the villa within the hour, great for beers and good value but the wine isn`t so great. Buy a couple of bottles of wine/spirits at the duty free in the airport, or take a box of wine in your case which we do whenever we go to Egypt.
All in all a really great villa in a great place, but still relatively undiscovered by Brits, which we don`t consider to be a bad thing. If you haven`t been, or are concerned about visiting Egypt, please do consider this villa and El - Gouna! We have been a number of times and have nothing but praise for the people and the country! See you next Easter...!
