Sheraton Miramar Resort
By
Jimmy Dunn
This month we are reviewing several hotels in what
many Egyptians believe to be the utmost paradise in Egypt, El
Gouna. Located on the Red Sea Coast north of Hurghada, we
have a complete section on this high end tourist community
The Sheraton Hotels on the Red Sea coast of Egypt all seem to
be of a flavor, though distinct in design. In addition to
the Miramar, we  have
already reviewed the Sheraton at Soma Bay, south of Hurghada, and
like that hotel, the Sheraton in El Gouna is also distinctive. In
fact, most of the buildings in El Gouna were designed by well
known architects.
The Miramar actually stretches between nine different small
islands, weaving about lagoons, the hotel is almost a village in
itself with 340 rooms, but seems relaxing and still intimate do to
its unique design.
Rooms all have private terraces which either overlook the Red
Sea, or lagoons, and are air conditioned, have private baths with
showers, satellite TV and radio, direct dial telephones,
safety deposit boxes and mini bars. There are also handicap
accessible rooms and non-smoking rooms.
Other hotel facilities include a barber/beauty shop,
fitness center, a private beach, an outdoor pool, a gift shop,
tennis courts and  business/meeting
facilities. Services include 24 hour room service, a tour desk,
VIP services, a massage therapist, laundry/valet Service, and a
babysitting/child services. Obviously, there is also a diving
center, complete with PADI courses, scuba, snorkeling, wind
surfing and sailing. Nearby, there is also golf available.
In addition, there are several restaurants, including the
Oriental 1001 Restaurant serving local favorites, the Miramar
Restaurant and an Italian Restaurant. There are also a
number of bars on property, including a unique boat bar (Samir
II), an aqua center bar, and the Miramar bar with live
entertainment.
All in all, this is a beautiful, high end hotel with all the
amenities and located in the rather exclusive overall resort of El
Gouna.
