Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Casa Cook El Gouna is an adults-only hotel for travellers who want a slower pace and a strong sense of design. It sits by the Red Sea in El Gouna, with a private beach area, a kite centre and an outdoor pool, and the rooms range from junior suites around shared pools to villas with their own pool. Guests talk most about the staff, often by name, about the relaxed mood and about a breakfast that sets the tone for the day. The trade-offs are modest. The à la carte meals do not always match the breakfast, so many guests try El Gouna's restaurants in the evening. Abu Tig Marina is about 3 km away, which means a bike, car or taxi rather than a stroll, and only the villas have a private pool. Couples looking for a quiet, stylish base by the sea will feel at home; children cannot stay.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
- Casa Cook El Gouna is an adults-only hotel, and guests describe the mood as relaxed and quiet, with a design that many call stunning. It is a place for slow days by the pool and the sea rather than entertainment programmes.
- Guests single out the staff again and again. Guests thank receptionists, waiters and the guest relations team by name and describe the service as warm, professional and quick to help.
- Breakfast wins unreserved praise, but some guests found the à la carte food at lunch and dinner merely fine by comparison. With two restaurants on site, it is worth exploring El Gouna for some evenings.
- Only the villas have a pool of their own. The junior suites open onto a pool that is shared with neighbouring suites, which is pleasant but not private.
