Arena Inn, Egypt

The Arena Inn is an affordable way to stay in a resort known for its glorious beaches, peaceful lagoons, stylish restaurants and luxury hotels. This modern 3-star hotel is relatively small by Egyptian standards and offers the essential ingredients for a relaxing holiday. The biggest selling point is the location: a prime spot on the shores of El Gouna Lagoon and a short stroll from the shops and restaurants of the resort centre. Also nearby is the popular open-air cinema. Purpose-built El Gouna is much quieter than Sharm El Sheikh and is much liked for its laid-back atmosphere. Bed and breakfast options are popular given the quality of the restaurants in downtown El Gouna and the Abu Tig Marina. The resort is a delight to explore in the evenings. Getting around is incredibly cheap on colourful local buses. Hotel relaxation centres on a freeform infinity pool with sun terraces overlooking the Red Sea. The hotel has its own section of beach on the lagoon. Rooms are comfortable and attractively furnished. Many have views of the lagoon or the golf course. An onsite restaurant also has splendid views. There is plenty to do here if you prefer an active holiday. The area has exceptionally rewarding snorkelling and there is a dive centre associated with the hotel. There are also excellent opportunities for beach volleyball, horse riding, golf and windsurfing. This 3-star hotel makes a good base for enjoying one of the most easy-going resorts in Egypt. Expect to find a broad range of guests and friendly attentive service. An amazingly sunny climate means holidays are available all year round.
