Steigenberger Golf Resort

Opinion

The elegantly appointed facilities at this property are further enhanced by the tidy gardens, lagoons and the golf course. The swimming pool deck has a quiet ambience and the dining options are varied with the benefit of further choices in downtown. This is a suitable choice for couples and families with older children.

Exterior

The main gated entrance stands off one of the surrounding roads of the resort with a long driveway continuing 600m across carefully manicured lawns to a central set-down area in front of a sandstone facaded double height building which, with its Moorish features and trellis roof almost looks unfinished! There are shrubs in tubs and benches on the adjacent pathway with a central stairway leading up to large double glass doors.

Interior

The reception lobby portrays a grander feel with white arched walls and polished patterned marble flooring. The reception counter and concierge desk are to one side with alcoves housing regal-style furnishings standing on traditional rugs.



The floor-to-ceiling windows over look the grounds which can be better observed from the English-style pub, complete with solid wooden bar, reached by a stairway up to the 3rd-floor.



The main restaurant is located on the ground-floor of one of the wings surrounding the pool deck and has both internal and external seating.

Grounds

Rooms are mainly located in nine 2 and 3-storey blocks surrounding the large main pool or the quieter pool, complete with snack bar, to the town side with some facing across the gardens.



Both pools are furnished with mattressed sunloungers and cloth parasols with views across the neatly mown lawns and shaped hedges on to the surrounding lagoon. A lagoon terrace restaurant offers drinks and snacks service.



Golf carts operate around the grounds and a ferry boat crosses the water to the 2nd restaurant housed in an attractive building overlooking the golf course, in addition to the ground floor dining area, there is an upstairs bar with panoramic views across the resort. The spa facility and fitness room are also located here.

Location

Area Type: Located on the eastern tip of an h-shaped island within a lagoon surrounded by the greens of the golf course to the south of Downtown in this purpose built resort. Its nearest neighbours are Club Med Hotel to the south and Movenpick Resort & Spa to the east, both bordering the shore. Taking the entrance drive to Downtown will present a long double-back walk with either a shuttle bus, tuk-tuks or shuttle boat providing better option. Transfer to Hurghada Airport 30 mins.
