Tying this review as we head to the airport from the hotel. My husband and I spent five nights here, and the entire team took incredible care of us throughout our stay. The service was excellent, and everyone went out of their way to create a wonderful experience for the guests.
We dined three times at the hotel, and every dish we had was absolutely delicious. Our stay in El Gouna was the final leg of our two weeks in Egypt, and throughout the trip — from the Four Seasons to the Sofitel to the dahabiya down the Nile — we had recurring issues with food and water quality that caused daily cramps. But at La Maison Bleue, we had zero concerns. The food quality was exceptional, and everything felt safe and fresh.
The hotel is also perfectly located next to a kite surfing school, less than a five-minute walk along the beach, so I was able to take advantage of that and take some lessons. The spa was wonderful as well — the Thai masseur I had was incredible.
Only two small suggestions: when we dined in the Green Room, it was quite cold inside even with the blankets; and one of the waiters kept referring to us as “bros.” Although he clearly meant no harm and we took no offense, it did feel a bit odd to be addressed that way in such a refined setting.
We’ll definitely be back soon!
