Lovely hotel overlooking the Red Sea, with pristine swimming pools stretching across the resort all the way to the the private beach. The best thing we found about the Golden Beach Hotel was their exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. During our stay we were truly looked after by: Hazem and Walid at the reception who promptly resolved any little issues we had; Ali Amer, the lifeguard who was very vigilant and even rescued a family member as being a non-swimmer, they panicked in the pool; the chef Zakariya who went out of his way to prepare us an Egyptian desert Um Ali, that we had been wanting to try since we arrived in Egypt- it was heavenly delicious. Mr Mansoor, the general manager is an asset to your business as he knew how to deal with the guests in the most efficient and considerate manner.
We had a family room, which was sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children. The rooms had all the amenities and we were informed that they were being upgraded in this season. Our one complaint would be the lack of WiFi in the rooms.
The grounds and landscaping are well maintained with plenty of seating for couples and families. Many shops and restaurants are dotted around the length of the resort with a couple being open for 24 hours. You can even book breakfast/other meals on the beach and/or one of the other restaurants. The main restaurant that serves the largest variety of food does not require any prior booking.
The resort is well resourced for children’s activities, including water park, game room, giant chess, active pool, cinema and a theatre with scheduled shows and activities. The staff and facilities in the spa and hammam are nice. We were little disappointed to find out a child of 12 is classified as an adult for booking and payment purpose.
Overall an amazing hotel and we will be revisiting whenever travelling to Hurghada.
