🎯 Salem's Honest Verdict

Golden Beach Resort has genuinely stepped up its game with the new heated aqua park - 12 slides for various ages is impressive. The staff, especially Fatma in guest relations, receive constant praise for making guests feel genuinely welcome. Seven restaurants and eight bars mean you won't get bored with dining options, and the recent renovation has freshened things up nicely. Is the beach reef pristine? Honestly, no - it's largely dead, and the sea is shallow (use the pier for deeper swimming). Some rooms still show age despite renovations. But for families wanting excellent aqua park facilities, friendly service, and good food variety near El Gouna, this delivers great value.
