Location and getting there
Figures run from 100 to 115 km from Marsa Alam airport, and a guest calls the location extremely far away. Plan for a transfer of well over an hour and a half and fix the price before getting in. The 40-euro taxi offer was undated, so ask for a recent quote. Trip.com mentions a paid shuttle.
To compare areas see where to stay in Marsa Alam, to choose between the two towns Hurghada or Marsa Alam, and for the road Hurghada to Marsa Alam.
Rooms, beach and pools
The reef runs along the whole hotel frontage, with a drop-off into the blue past the jetty: that is Gorgonia's selling point. Rooms are spread over 22 buildings, which means walking distances to the restaurant and the beach: ask for a room near the jetty. The listings do not detail the pools.
