Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 16 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Cook's Club El Gouna is an adults-only hotel for travellers who want a laid-back, sociable stay rather than a large resort. It sits on a saltwater lagoon in El Gouna, with a private beach area, a jetty and a pool that serves as the hotel's living room, complete with DJs by day and pool parties on Friday nights. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, who are kind, attentive and often thanked by name, and about the central location, the clean, cosy rooms and the breakfast. The concept will not suit everyone. The beach area is on the lagoon rather than the open sea, and the music and parties make this a poor choice for anyone after real peace and quiet. A few guests also mention housekeeping that took a little time to get right. Couples and friends who like good company, a lively pool and El Gouna's centre within reach will feel at home.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.

What Guests Loved
- The team is what guests mention most. Reception and service staff are described as warm, kind and genuinely helpful, and many reviewers thank the colleague who looked after them during their stay by name.
- Guests praise the location as much as the staff. The hotel sits on the lagoon with its own jetty, close to the heart of El Gouna, so restaurants and bars in town are within easy reach.
Things to Consider
- The private beach area is on the lagoon, reached by a jetty, and one guest noted that there is no real sandy beach as such. If long walks along open sea are what you want, look at hotels on the coast.
- DJs play by the pool and the Friday night pool parties are part of the concept. Guests who come for a lively atmosphere love it; those who want complete peace and quiet may find it too busy.
