We had a vacation in February 2025. Thank you to the hotel staff for the warm welcome! A large, beautiful, very well-groomed territory, excellent food, we were on Valentine's Day, so everything was according to the theme in the hotel and even a delicious compliment to everyone in the room. The animation is simple, for both children and adults. Disco every day, as well as a choice of watching football matches and live music Entertainment: water park, lawn tennis, mini golf, billiards, football, basketball. Morning fitness on the beach. A wonderful SPA complex. There is a cafe on site with delicious coffee and, optionally, lactose-free and alternative milk)
We rested for a week in October. The hotel is super.The territory is large, well-groomed, beautiful, lots of greenery.Water park for both children and adults, swimming pools.We went to all the restaurants, it was delicious and varied everywhere.There was no rotovirus (although I had read before that there would definitely be one in Egypt)The staff is polite and Russian-speaking.And they'll say hello and ask how you're doing.Most of the vacationers are Germans.The hotel has its own river, a boat ride to the sea.The sea is magical!Clean, transparent, warm!If any debris in the water is immediately removed.Well, the room probably depends on the price.The main sea! It's really magical!
We stayed in hotels in August 2024.Large well-maintained territory,renovated modern clean rooms.Several restaurants,a huge selection of dishes for every taste,seafood is always available-waiters and bartenders try their best.Large wide beach with new sun beds and good access to the sea,there are low tide, but not critical.Excellent children's water park
One of the wishes is to add more animation.
I liked the hotel, a good five
1) Food
It is varied, there is always beef, chicken/turkey, fish, systematically duck, squid, shrimp. The side dish is enough for me (fries, rice, various baked vegetables), I often chose baked vegetables.
Vegetables, always available + leafy salads
Fruits (apples, oranges, tangerines, plums, guava, melon, dates, strawberries, pomegranate).
Sweet - I didn't focus on it, the only thing I can say is that they have divine croissants.
In the morning, there are smoothies and freshly squeezed juices in the castello.
2) Alcohol and beverages
I drank a mojito, it suited me.
They did it very well on the beach, but it's disgusting in the lobby, it all depends on the bartender.
There is a cocktail menu in the lobby.
We had coffee at the Columbus coffee shop
The child was drinking fanta, there was also cola, sprite from the ice machine.
Tonic from the bottle
3) The territory
It is very well maintained, from the very morning until late at night it is cleaned and washed, tinted somewhere, restored.
4) Rooms
The average ones, of course, it would be nice to refresh them.
For me, the most important thing is to keep it clean. I was happy with the cleaning, they left tips
We changed the room, no extra charges, just asked in a human way. They gave me a new one the next day, and the hotel was full.
Slippers and bathrobes are provided on request.
5) Fitness room
Let's just say you can practice. The mats are not fresh, the coating has peeled off somewhere
There were quite a few people, it's best to come to the opening at 8-00 or after 10-00 if you study in the morning
There were training sessions on the beach, and there is also a schedule.
6) Staff
Friendly, solved all our questions.
7) Animation
It is practically non-existent, something is spot-on somewhere.
We rode bicycles around the territory (large 4-seater) and the child also liked to swim on a swan along the canal
8) What are the disadvantages for me
Minus one and a huge one, it's a pile of smoke that stands everywhere, everyone smokes like steam locomotives
It is impossible to enter the lobby in the evening
A very decent hotel with a huge territory!Room cleaning is beyond praise, they wash thoroughly.The food is varied and plentiful.There are always empty seats on the beach, the bartenders on the beach are just great.They catch every gesture.But like all Egyptians, they love tips.The shops in the hotel are not very diverse, but their prices are sometimes lower than in the shopping center across the street.There are discos or shows every day.You can safely give the hotel 10 out of 10
A wonderful hotel!!! Due to the fact that the child is allergic to dust, we were looking for a good hotel where it would be clean. We had a beautiful two-room suite with plenty of storage space, cupboards, chest of drawers, curbstones, for me as a woman it is important that everything can be neatly hung and laid out) Two balconies, 2 clothes dryers, very convenient. It is convenient that there is an elevator if someone is traveling with a wheelchair. The cleaning is average, but overall everything is kept in order. A huge green area, and a playground, and bicycles for walking, and swans on which you can ride, and mini golf, a small water park, with children there is a place to have fun and roam! A huge beach strip, a huge number of sun beds, trying to keep order on the beach. I would also like to mention the work of lifeguards throughout the hotel, they are always vigilant, I often saw children in the pool and on the beach who were not being watched by their parents, great fellows! There is also a huge selection of places to go to eat, we went to the central restaurant, the food selection was excellent, there was always something to feed the children, the waiters were great, with a large flow of tourists they always respond promptly and are friendly. Animation is weak, very rotten girls can barely walk, there is little information about events, we always had to look for what and where it would be, there is a children's room, but we couldn't leave the child there, we came once and didn't go again. The hotel itself made a great impression, I would love to come again!
We stayed at this hotel in February 2025 and never regretted it!
We arrived at night, there was a quick check-in at the reception, and we were invited to a restaurant for a late dinner.
The room is great, the furniture is new, the TV with Russian-language channels.
A bed with a nice hard mattress. Room cleaning is daily.
Meals-5 restaurants, a coffee shop, bars near the pools, and a beach bar with cooking facilities.
There is everything: chicken, turkey, duck, beef, lamb, shrimp, fish, pasta, potatoes, beans, vegetables, fruits, various salads, baked goods.
Alcohol.Drinks from 10.00 to 00.00 are free of charge: normal rum, bottled beer (there is also gin, wine, etc.)
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate.
The hotel's infrastructure includes several swimming pools, 3 of which are heated, water slides, a boat, and more.
Russians and Europeans are vacationing, the staff's attitude to everyone is equal, friendly, and they always want to help.
Despite the large territory, there are no noisy companies and people with defiant behavior, everyone treats each other with respect.
The beach is great, the sand is sifted in the morning, there is no dirt or debris.
In general, Dana is very careful about cleanliness, they wash the paving slabs, glass railings, and roofs of the premises every day!
Chefs work with gloves on.
Animation is not for those who like to have fun, it's a more relaxed, family vacation!
The Neverland show is held in another Albatross hotel, and the staff didn't like it there. The show was held in the evening, there was a strong wind, many guests arrived in dresses-they sat and froze, asked for blankets, but the staff ignored them.
Since I had no desire to drink alcoholic beverages, I asked for TEA, but tea was not brought. They didn't even give me boiling water.…
I asked for a sprite, took out a bottle and put it in an ice bucket.…
Dinner is so-so, it would be better to eat in the Dana.
The performance is boring.
The cost of the show is $ 30 per person, it is included in the price of vouchers and there is no way to refuse.
In general, we have only positive emotions from Dana throughout the rest, we will come back again!
Of all the hotels we've visited, it's the best. The food is on the level, everything is delicious, lots of fruits, meat, fish, sweets. There is a Playground, a children's pool with slides, an excellent entrance to the sea. The only point is the pool near the restaurant, there is little shade. A great option, for example, in a nearby hotel, lots of shade
We stayed at this hotel with our children (16 and 5 years old) in December 2025. This is a city hotel, it's huge. Absolutely everyone will find something to do here. The sea with a coral reef (though not the best), a large beach with sun loungers and recliners. Bars, 4 restaurants, heated pools, outdoor Jacuzzi. There is a relaxation area with pools and a Jacuzzi, which is not allowed with children. We didn't get there for obvious reasons))) but for some, it's important that there are no noisy kids around. By the way, there is a children's pool with warm water and slides for kids, and a water park for older children and adults. There is also a kids' club for children, where you can bring children from 3 years old for a few hours. They study with them, make crafts and just play. For lovers of noisy parties, there is a club with a nightly show program and a disco, including a children's one.
On the territory you can play golf, tennis, catamaran or boat rides (a canal runs through the entire territory of the hotel to the beach), tandem bicycles. In general, it can be described for a long time. There's everything there for everyone. By the way, the sea is cold in December. As it turned out, it is much warmer in Sharm el-Sheikh at this time.
Vacationers are mostly Germans (I think 90 percent), there are few Russians. On the one hand, it may seem like a plus to some, but it was a little annoying that they constantly smoke in public places, and the presence of children next to them at that time did not bother them at all. Non-smoking Russians have already lost the habit of this).
Very well maintained territory with landscaping.
To sum up, I definitely recommend the hotel.
We had a rest at the hotel in early June. The organization of the rest is not bad, they try to do everything, both cleaning and in the kitchen, and politely ask how you are. The room is lovely, big! There is a place to stay. There is no feeling of crowding, as in the Black Sea resorts. The room cleaning itself is for 3+. They promised a daily change of towels and, what surprised me, a change of bed linen, and then, as they say, disappointment came, the towels that were lying on the floor were politely put back in place. The bed linen was changed once, which surprised me, it was with very decent holes! And cleanliness and whiteness are also questionable. Also, as a separate note, these are pillows, not only are they huge, they are also wooden!!! It is not possible to sleep on them!!! The head just rolls off, when contacting the administration about this, firstly, they were very surprised at the issue of softness, and secondly, they brought the same wooden pillow. The territory of the hotel itself is very beautiful, there are many flowers, flowering trees, beauty of course. You will definitely not stay hungry in this hotel. There are many restaurants here, there is a lot to choose from, even seafood is presented! It's just a matter of taste. Entertainment is also available for different tastes and colors, as they say. In general, everything is fine
A wonderful family hotel! Nutrition is above all praise! There are 5 restaurants with different cuisines working at the same time, unlimited access! Seafood, strawberries, fresh juices for breakfast! The staff is very attentive and smiling, we have never been told "no" at this hotel!) Everything we asked for was answered, "Yes, of course!" and they did it for us right there.
We had 3 families on vacation - and everyone was delighted! 2 people had a special gluten-free diet, so the chefs cooked pasta for them separately, right in front of us and showed the packaging that "gluten free" was painted.. There have always been gluten-free sweets in all restaurants.
The beach is huge, sandy. There is a pier, fish. But there are tides.. With small children - perfect! It is convenient to swim. The pools are cool, heated in winter (they don't save on heating, the water is really warm), there is a Jacuzzi, there is a water park with children's and adult slides. A river with fish runs through the territory, along which a boat (shuttle) floats and carries tourists for free.
The rooms are great. Condees are just a little old, they make noise. The cleanliness is perfect. The bed is comfortable, the linen is of high quality.
There are a lot of shops and pharmacies in front of the hotel. You can go there in the evenings. The hotel has a nightclub, alcohol is free.
In general, I recommend the hotel!
If you need to choose a tour or consult, you can write to me via telegram @mikina_juliia, I am a travel agent and I will be happy to help you with choosing a hotel!
We had a family vacation: husband, wife, daughter 11 years old. I'll start with the territory, it's very large, of course, this is a plus, but it's big because there are 2,200 guests, this is a minus, hence the poor quality food and a lot of poisoning, including our stomachs also could not stand it, we had to start taking remedies for poisoning. The rooms in buildings 2000 and 3000 (they were in two buildings, they changed the number to a "better one") are shabby, it is clear that there has been no repair for a long time, there is a smell in the toilets and mold in the corners. Now about the main thing!!!
One day we forgot to close the safe and $ 230 disappeared from my wallet, there was no hope that they would be returned to us, but it was not right for the hotel management to ignore this issue, so we informed the reception about it, the hoteliers began to sort it out.First, the head of the reception area listened to us, then asked us to write.how much was there, how much was spent, how much was left, the shortage was brought out. Then the assistant general manager came up, as they said, and asked me to write a statement, it was clear that he expected discrepancies with the figures from the first paper, but this did not happen. Continuing to believe that we were lying, he asked to see the safe, wallet and all the cash we had, we agreed, went to the room, he counted all our cash, the numbers came together. Next, the assistant director general asked for permission to look for money in our belongings and suitcases, saying that missing money is often found in this way. This request caused us surprise and indignation, because my wife and I explained several times how much we had, where we spent it, and even showed purchase receipts (duty free, pharmacy, and visa payment). The staff insisted in an extremely unfriendly manner that the inspection was necessary to resolve the situation. When I asked them what they would do if they didn't find money in my things, the assistant manager, whose face expressed irritation and hatred, offered to meet with a representative of our tour operator tomorrow, I agreed to meet only with the manager, because I wasn't going to explain 10 times to the tour operator, who also doesn't solve anything. It became clear that the procedure was started in order to delay the clarification under the guise of solving the problem, to arrange a conflict, to expose us as people who refuse to help. I repeat that we did not expect a refund and we did not need anything from them, and we had no evidence of theft. Personally, this is the first time I've been to Egypt in my 53 years. Now, if I go, I'll choose a high-level chamber hotel, rather than this anthill where everything works like a conveyor belt, here you are treated not as guests, but as details that move from morning to evening between the room and the dining room (otherwise not to say), the beach and the pool. In cases of theft, the same principle of the conveyor is activated, where the procedure for sending a "guest" is also worked out.
P.S. If someone thinks that there is no stealing in Egypt, this is not the case, the guards at the exit of the hotel through the service entrance search every employee.
The hotel is great, the rooms are spacious, the cleaning is good. There are several restaurants, the food is almost the same in them, but there are small variations. There are a lot of people, but it didn't feel much, there are plenty of pools for every taste, the beach is in good condition, a lot of sun beds, clean. There have been tides, but this is not critical. The staff is friendly, the service is top-notch. The territory is large, there are bicycles and catamarans, everything is free, and you can also get to the beach by boat. The spa is good, massages were taken, the level is good. I recommend. Animation every day, I didn't have to be bored.
The hotel struck with its huge territory with artificial rivers full of fish, along which boats regularly ply to transport vacationers to the beach. Throughout the territory there are manicured lawns, flowers and shrubs, beauty!!! there are many pools, there is a special water park for children. There are enough mushrooms and sun loungers on the beach, there are movable screens against the wind.
We were in December, it was no longer the season for swimming, cold winds were blowing, and the sea was cool, but the hotel has 2 heated pools, so we did not stay without swimming. In the morning, the tide was out at sea, to swim, you have to walk a decent distance. But sunbathing is the best thing. The beach bar starts working at 10.
The food is decent, there are several restaurants for every taste from European to local cuisine. You will not stay hungry, there is always a choice. The animation is decent, morning exercises, bachata, darts competitions, aqua aerobics, etc., an evening show of an average level, first a children's disco, then performances by artists, a vocal show and a disco in the restaurant, a lot of Russian-speaking and Germans (older), the former can be heard at discos, the latter can be seen in the reception hall playing bones drinking at the bar. In the evenings, live music is played in the central hall, there is a room for online broadcasts, and original coffee is prepared right there.
The room is cleaned daily, clean, beach towels are provided by the pool by cards. I liked the hotel very much, the sea disappointed me, I have to come in season.
This is a great hotel! Cleanliness, order!
The food is just space! Everything is delicious! Fish, shrimp, squid! Chicken, beef! Red salmon is lightly salted in the morning! Beautiful territory, beach!
The animators are great.The deiskiy club is open. The boat rides until late in the evening. Everything is fine! They bring everything everywhere . The waiters work even on the beach. No one is begging for tea, which is very unusual for Egypt! Bottled beer is everywhere, even on the beach.
Cleanliness and order. If you need slippers and a bathrobe, ask for them and they will bring everything.
Hello, the hotel is very nice, large territory, entertainment, delicious food, we are resting here for the second time. I would like to note only one single disadvantage, the attitude towards Russians from the service staff is not very good! The waiters rarely come up, although they walk past our table, approach neighboring tables where citizens of other countries are resting, and we are sitting, roughly speaking, with empty dishes that are not taken away, but to make an order, it's easier to walk yourself!!! Because we called a couple of times, but we were ignored.... I want to say, we are not lazy, we can walk to the bar! But when you see that people are being served around and you are being ignored, it is very unpleasant.
As well as cleaning the room, it seems to be cleaned normally, but the dishes are not washed, the mugs and glasses are all stained and it is clear that they were simply sealed inside, even traces of lips remain.
A good hotel, a large territory, the animators liked the guys, all Russian-speaking (Russians, Ukrainians), everyone was ready to help! Good cuisine, 5 restaurants where you can have a good dinner, dinner, by the way, was the most delicious and varied of the meals. The receptionists also liked the reception, quickly solved all problems, speak all relevant languages well (Russian, German, English), there is also a table slightly to the left of the reception, where girls also sit and help with solving issues. We took excursions via Sputnik, cheaper. You can take a taxi to the Aquarium yourself (10 minutes), and then take a ticket ($ 33) for an adult, $ 12 (I don't remember exactly) for children. I liked the aquarium, by the way. There is also a zoo there.
A great hotel for families with children. Very friendly, non-intrusive staff. A huge territory with a lot of activities for children. Private beach with very convenient access.
Were with .05/27/2024 to 06/03/2024 It was already very stuffy.The hotel is large, it is very good to relax with children.There are many playgrounds, a children's water park.Good food, surprised breakfasts, A variety of delicious.The beach strip is sand, there are a lot of sun beds, it is not necessary to occupy, unless it is on the first line.For us, the most impressive thing was the service. The staff is friendly, professional, fast service! Thanks a lot for that!.Of the cons, animation is especially evening, only the animation team of the hotel.Maybe we were so unlucky, I don't know.It's boring in the evening.And the air conditioning system in the rooms is very noisy and there are no temperature control panels at all.We had a rest without children, we bought it two days before departure..170,000 tons of rubles
We had a rest at this Dana Beach hotel. animators entertain children well, partly adults. the staff is all very friendly. the hotel is very clean. room cleaning is a busy day, BUT THERE ARE NO DISPOSABLE TOOTHBRUSHES AND PASTES. the beach is gorgeous. the food is varied, but it gets a little boring over time (
A great hotel for families with children. There is everything for a wonderful holiday - restaurants, food courts, a children's room, various sports and water activities, excursions and a thoughtful style of the hotel. I will definitely recommend it to my friends. The only thing that was missing was the evening of the show program and, oddly enough, more intrusive animators - the show program is there, but compared to Turkish hotels of a similar level, it is a level worse, and also repeats every 6-7 days. Otherwise, everything is fine.
A nice, warm hotel. Well-maintained clean area, very green. 85% of Germans, apparently that's why there was practically no music anywhere, neither at sea nor at pools, music was only at the water slides, which helped a lot, because silence was boring. The rooms are good. The children's slides are also great, the pool was heated for children, it was April. Animation every evening, normal so to speak. Russians Russian-speaking animators When we were on vacation, there was not a single animator, both adult and child, who spoke Russian, in my opinion this is a minus, or then why sell Russian vouchers. In the last two days, a Russian girl appeared in children's animation. At least the child could understand what was wanted of him. The food is generally good for Egypt, there was always a choice. In general, if it is a good hotel, which I would like to go to again. Yoga was at sea, stretching at the water slides, a little strange, because this distance is not 300 meters, we ran from one corner to another, but maybe this is a plus, movement. The boat adds a lot of positivity, it did not bother at all that it was necessary to swim to the sea on it. The boat is just such a nice bonus, it is also very sincere. I would add animation in Russian and more actively, children's animation, music at sea and at the pool, it would be possible to update the beds. Overall, a decent five
We were at this hotel from June 19 to June 29, 2024.
In general, it is a great hotel, with a huge, clean and well-groomed territory, and even with its own artificial river🔥
The hotel is focused more on Europeans, so probably the attitude towards vacationers is appropriate here - there are a lot of staff, all very polite and courteous, always ready to help and assist. There is even a separate staff in the lobby to keep the flies down😁
The hotel has its own beach, there are always plenty of sun loungers... the entrance to the sea is convenient for both small children and adults 😁
The hotel is located on a busy street in Hurghada... there are a lot of shops around with all possible and impossible goods... the only minus is annoying sellers ... but everyone is probably used to it.
Verdict - I strongly recommend this hotel, an excellent offer instead of Turkey with really high-quality service and services👍
The first hotel in Hurghada that we visited. Very nice 5! Large territory, artificial river along the hotel, delicious food and live music in the evenings. We reached the sea by boat along an artificial river, the beach is well maintained.
Only positive impressions remained from the hotel - polite staff, everything is at a high level everywhere, an interesting concept of transporting customers to the beach by boat) a little specific food is an island, in my opinion, but the coffee shop is excellent
The hotel is definitely not a five-star hotel. There are no bathrobes, there are not enough slippers for everyone.
Overall, it's not bad, but the choice of food in restaurants leaves much to be desired. There are 5 restaurants on the territory and everything is the same everywhere, with very very small exceptions.
I liked the river where you can take a boat to the beach from the reception.
A very good minigolf.
The hotel is great! Large territory, beautiful beach (without reef) courteous staff, excellent room stock, a variety of drinks and cocktails, delicious food, large pools with Jacuzzi, everything was very pleasant. Evening animation for 3+. I will be happy to return to this hotel again.
It was in December 2024. I really liked the hotel. The territory is large and well maintained. Excellent food, five restaurants, two cafes. Heated pools. But the wind and the cool sea at this time of the year must be taken into account.
Not far from the airport. The hotel has a large territory, you need to walk a lot. The restaurants are almost identical except for a few dishes. There is always something to eat and choose from. The service and attitude towards guests is 3.8 out of 5. Alcohol is only local. The beer is decent. Room 4229 is clean but tired (there is no 1 section of the door in the closet, the faucet is leaking, the bidet is not fixed to the floor. Room cleaning is excellent. The bed linen is not changed. Bathrobes are provided on request - from the moment of the request to the receipt of the bathrobes, it took about 24 hours, they asked for 4 brought 2, although 4 people lived in the room. The pillows for me were hard, I asked to replace the pillow, they were not replaced. The pools are clean, lifeguards are on duty everywhere. The beach is huge. You don't have to take snorkeling masks. You can only look at the fish from the pier. During the stay at the hotel, out of a company of 11 people, 5 people had not much poisoning, all passed during the day, the food was different, the suspicion of unwashed dishes. A hotel for lovers of a relaxing holiday
We had a family vacation (the child is 3 years old) in December 2023. The hotel is super: big, clean, green, plenty of room for an evening stroll. There are two boats cruising along the river. There are no queues in restaurants, the food does not end, all restaurants have high chairs that fit the tables, one restaurant has a children's area with a TV. Ice cream is served from lunch (delicious). You can take the substrates and take out the food on the food cord.
A children's pool, a pool with slides and one simple pool were heated. There is a playground, a children's club with an indoor pool and slides, there are swings on the territory, there is mini golf (free of charge).
The beach is large, clean sandy, you can swim without special shoes, there is a pier where you can dive with masks, there is a swing. Ice cream in the morning at the beach restaurant.
Waiters are available throughout the hotel.
A day before departure, you can order a lunch box on the plane.
We really liked it!
We rested with my wife in this hotel from 17.01 to 25.01.2024. Everything is great. The check-in took place quickly, the room was given 1907, on the second floor. The room is clean, the bed is large, the TV (2 Russian channels), everything is fine.
The territory of the hotel is large, there is a children's area (also large), children's water slides, in general, everything is fine. Everything is clean and well maintained.
There is an adult and children's water park, everything is fine on the slides.
The restaurants are excellent. Someone wrote that there was nothing to eat, I don't know, we had enough. Available:chicken,beef,fish, once there were shrimps (large).
Animation, in principle, my wife and I did not need it. There were contests in the evening, children's songs and dances, and there were dances by the pool in the afternoon.
Beach:clean, well maintained, plenty of hammocks and an umbrella. The entrance to the sea is smooth, there is sand on the beach.
In general, we are happy with the rest.
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, there is a lot of greenery, a canal runs through the territory of the hotel in which various fish live, a boat runs to the sea. We walked to the sea, going to the Castello restaurant (mostly we ate there, but the food was mostly the same everywhere and there was not much choice what to feed the child) and fed the fish. The room is cleaned daily, linen and towels are changed. The filling of the refrigerator is meager - at the time of check-in there was pepsi 1.5 and 5 bottles of water of 0.5 each. In the following days, only water was replenished. It was only during the eviction that I found out that slippers and a bathrobe are provided upon request of the guests.
The beach is clean, excellent access to the sea, alcohol, ice cream and juices are in the bars, there are no snacks, only at 12 o'clock they start cooking shawarma and burgers
For children there is a pool with slides, a kids club and daily mini disko
We stayed at the hotel from February 19th to February 25th. Everything is in order and objective. I was terribly unlucky with the weather, it happened many times in Egypt, but it never happened to be up to 9 degrees at night with a northerly breeze. Apparently the climate is changing, but we were going for the sea and the fish. Hurtful. All boat trips and short safaris were also canceled due to bad weather. Now, those who are going to Egypt in January and February should still consider warmer periods, April, May, September, October. What remains is the hotel and the service. Because I have been dealing with the quality of service in the banking sector for more than 30 years and, of course, more than one trip behind me.So. The advertising slogan...The luxurious 5-star Dana Beach Resort hotel complex, located on the seashore, is deservedly considered the leader among the Pickalbatros hotels. Here, sophistication and comfort are perfectly combined with premium class services...Now Just the facts. Unfortunately, we had an early check-in...but not so much ... we were at the hotel at 11.30, the manager came out to us who speaks Russian poorly (we can explain ourselves in English), but we decided to see what would happen next. He offered me a drink, put on my bracelets, said you'd have lunch, and the room would be ready at 12:30 by 13:00, okay. Obviously, I will say that as it turned out, the staff on the premises are simpler than waiters, lifeguard, etc. they speak languages much better, and only German is well known at the reception. We had lunch and toured the area. We approached the reception, our manager referred to his heavy workload and generally no longer knows Russian words, pointed towards a pile of German passports, and told us to wait for 14.00. Well, we decided in principle not to solve this issue corruptly. In general, after half an hour, the reception was empty, everyone was settled, and if we hadn't come up at 14, I think we would have been sitting for a long time. For 5 stars, the division of guests into 1 grade and 2 is unacceptable. Yes, 90 percent of the hotel's guests are from Germany, but it doesn't matter for ...5 stars, and as advertised in premium class services.).
The territory is large, well-groomed, blooming. The buildings are on both sides, the channels are in the middle, the boat floats from the reception to the beach. The only thing is that there is absolutely no place to hide from the wind from the sea, as well as from the sun in July or August, only rooms and kindergartens on other sides of the buildings. The beach is even 600 meters away from the farthest point. Opposite the 2000 building, part of the building is being renovated/built, it's probably nice to live nearby and opposite. Such a non-intrusive sound of a saw and an axe. You can hear it on the beach too. There are very well-groomed cats on the territory (for this great respect), they have feeding places with clean bowls, and in the evenings we go with a large bag of dry food and feeds them. Rooms, we got 5419 in building 5000, clean, everything works, the room is large, but tired and linen too, shampoo, lotion, balm, soap in the room. We had a shady side, and the temperature was 9 degrees outside at night, and the room was cold. The cleaning is good. Naturally, everyone loves tips. The animation is unobtrusive, the contingent is still family or elderly, retired. There is a good water park for small children, playgrounds, and an adult water park did not work during our visit. The SPA is weak, without a pool, and is not popular. The Internet is not very fast, but it is normal. For me, the food would be ordinary without frills, in all restaurants it's about the same. Lots of bread, other carbohydrates, seasonings, sauces, chopped vegetables. I needed something less harmful and a diet table. I found a diet corner with boiled carrots and rice.I didn't see a children's table with baby food either.
The fruits are imported, except for dates, strawberries do not smell like strawberries. If there was seafood or batter or heavily seasoned, what could be better than just fresh grilled shrimp? I won't say for alcohol, I'm not a connoisseur of this, but I will believe the citizens from Germany that the local draft beer is much better than their native one, because they drink a lot of it and everywhere))).
Beach, sea....the beach is big, clean, and full of sun beds. Lagoon, sloping entrance, sandy spit. There is a pier, some dead reefs and fish, maybe nothing for a child's first acquaintance with the fauna of the red Sea. But read above, because of the bad weather, it was impossible to get into the sea, given that we were not frozen and were swimming in the 17 degree Baltic. There was an interesting incident on the beach, a decently dressed 12-year-old boy in a long-sleeve T-shirt was asked to show a bracelet at the towel pick-up point, of course he came running from the desert with hotel cards.)
There are no shark nets, if anyone is interested, no matter how much they write about it.) There is a large heated swimming pool on site. There is a chillout area with a swimming pool.
There is a lot of smoking on the territory, despite the large number of children of their own and others, restaurants have open verandas, it is good to divide them into smoking and non-smoking areas. There's nowhere for a non-smoker to sit in the lobby if there are people there. And if you read above, the wind or the scorching sun from which there is nowhere to hide in the territory. There is mini golf, a court, bicycles, boccia beach, volleyball. On-site staff is responsive and customer-oriented, unlike the reception.
On the penultimate day, due to bad weather, I decided to ask for a late check-out, I decided to communicate in English at the reception, a nice girl said that it was possible, and already at the stage of registration and having announced the cost to me (I already prepared the bill), the manager, who hardly speaks Russian, came from somewhere and said no, no, only tomorrow(on the day of departure) at 9.30 it will be clear if they will be able to extend the room. It looked very strange. Apparently the wrong guest again.) As a result, they allowed us to stay in the room for free until 14, and to put out our luggage at 13, although we left at 14.00, the luggage was still at the door. Why this carousel is unclear. Then we spent 3 hours wandering around the windy territory, well, at least we didn't take off the bracelet, and thanks for that. Summary the staff, gardeners, waiters, cleaners, etc. are trying very hard, but with middle managers they still have to work and work, the face of the hotel should somehow be more welcoming and professional. Moreover, we remember.... a luxury hotel...Blah, blah....premium services. In general, 4 stars for the service. Here again, or to the Picalbatros network? Unlikely. This is despite the fact that it is a kind of flagship hotel in the network. Or with a very, very, very large discount, who only needs to ...... eat and sleep. Well, or families with very young children, up to 4 years old, the airport is close, there is a lot for kids, shallow sea. The territory is large, but not mine, but it would be stupid for me. The buildings are like mountains, the main territory is a pass, if the wind blows, the sun will burn. Next time, choose a hotel more carefully. I've never wanted to go home so much.
In addition, there was not much choice of charters, Nesma flew, in general, gently, everything was on time, calmly. Pegasus tour operator, no complaints, this is not the first time we have been with them both as an agent and as a tour operator.
We had a vacation in Dana Beach together with my husband in January 2025. Super hotel!!! I've been to Egypt about 30 times, and I usually don't pay attention to any chips on the sinks, stains on the windows, or mold in some corners, knowing that there is no perfect cleanliness in Egypt, but there is a beautiful Red Sea.. The Dana Beach Hotel just surprised me!! A chic hotel with a large beautiful territory, excellent service, a modern clean room, 5 restaurants with delicious food: fresh juices every morning, salmon in the Castello on the 2nd floor, shrimp, squid, delicious lamb, beef tongue, good quality alcohol and many other goodies in the evenings! On the beach, I would like to mention the bartender, very attentive and positive Osama Mohamed, thank you very much, he just delighted every day with his smile and professionalism!!! I danced Zumba every day with the animation team, this is also my special love!!! I heartily recommend Dana Beach!!! See you soon again!!!
I wanted everything and a lot, and at the same time cheaper when choosing a vacation spot :)) The main request was to have slides in the children's pool, good animation, a large, well-maintained territory, and of course, a large selection of seafood and fish dishes. All this and much more (a professional yoga coach, hydroaerobics), a sandy beach, and the transparency of the water, like in Cuba or the Maldives, were an additional bonus!!!
The best hotel. The territory is large and beautiful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. A beach with a good descent into the water and service (they constantly go and offer drinks). The food is generally excellent. There are no ala carte restaurants, all five restaurants are open. If you don't like one, go to the other. There is a river in the center of the territory, along which a boat runs
A wonderful hotel for every taste, here everyone can find something to do with their hobbies. A rich program, a huge territory, hospitable staff, delicious cuisine. The rooms have special features, of course, but that's not the main thing!!!
A wonderful hotel, I was here for the second time. A huge, beautiful, well-maintained territory. Excellent service, friendly, friendly staff.
There are many restaurants. Drinks service on the beach.
Delicious, varied food.
Clean beach, clean sea, there are nets in the sea so that marine life does not swim in.
On the beach, when you receive a towel, the staff accompanies you, helps you put comfortable sun beds for you.
A river runs through the territory and a boat rides - it's a special pleasure to ride.
There are beautiful, diverse fish in this channel. There are many different activities throughout the day, for every taste.
The only negative is the old bed linen, it has not been changed once in 8 days, but towels are changed every day. But I still put 5. It's a great place!
It is not far from the airport, 15 minutes by bus.
We vacationed here with my husband at the end of December 2023.I used to be categorically against this country, I heard bad reviews that poverty, that the hotels are old, that the food is terrible, etc.I said I didn 't want to go to Egypt for nothing .But Dana Beach completely turned my attitude 180degrees.It was the most wonderful vacation in every sense.And how they met .And an unobtrusive guide who only communicates with you, not with the group.And the territory is huge 180,000 sq.m. and clean, just licked, and the river with the island on which the restaurant is located right on the territory, it's a bomb.And the fish in it that looked out of the water and asked to eat, this is a separate topic, counted more than 30 species.I'm thrilled.And the food is super, we just dined on the tenderest beef and shrimp.There is a lot of diverse food , no matter how 5 restaurants without ALA cards , 7 bars ..Wi-Fi is free even on the beach, rooms with access to the river.The weather is a separate thrill.We never go 2 times to the same place, but Dana is my Beach, love, I want to come to food more than once.And even the reef with fish is beautiful, despite the fact that this is Hurghada. Lampshade Dana Beach, lampshade
The hotel left an incomprehensible impression. It seems to be the flagship among the albatrosses, but others from this network will be better. There are problems with the settlement .They take your passports at the reception and if you don 't come up to them, they can forget about you until the evening . The rooms are large, there is nothing to clean, just changing towels and taking out the trash. The food is standard for an albatross, everything is edible. Packaged juices, cocktails do not know how to make at all. The territory is large, green and pleasant, bicycles, catamarans, a boat - many means of transportation.Playgrounds for children, a water park, a children's club . The beach is large, there are many sun beds. Good entry into the sea.All the staff are cheerful and friendly.
An excellent "five" from the wonderful Albotros network. Everything is on the level. A large territory, an internal water channel with fish on the territory of the hotel, along which a boat runs, good restaurants with different food, all restaurants, including ala-karta are free. Most of the guests at the hotel are Europeans and locals, so the animation is in three languages - English, German and Russian, our animators and German. The service is consistent, no problems were found. There is a pool with slides for children. An interesting solution is in the form of an island in the middle of the hotel with two restaurants, a concert venue with bars and a huge monitor, as well as swimming pools. The rooms are not bad with huge bathrooms almost the size of a room.
Super hotel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Service at your level 👍👍👍
The cuisine is delicious 7 restaurants everywhere there is a different choice of dishes, the coffee is very tasty, the territory is large, clean, lots of greenery, a lazy river is so many emotions.
I recommend everything with children.
A good, solid hotel. The staff understands almost all of it in Russian. I liked the food, although it was not very diverse, but everything was delicious. We had a family vacation with a child. There is a children's club on site and discos for children were held, but we preferred to spend time either playing golf or at the sea. The highlight of the hotel is a lazy river, along which you can ride from the reception to the sea with a stop in the middle - by the pool and the restaurant. By the way, the pools were also pleased. A 5-year-old child had fun in the kindergarten, but quickly got tired, because although they were not big, he was still afraid to move out, so everyone swam in a large heated pool. The temperature in it is 31 degrees, so we, vacationers in December, really liked it. The territory is monitored and kept clean. I definitely recommend going to a coffee shop, they make very delicious coffee there, but the staff does not react quickly, we often had to wait for attention to be paid to us. This has never happened in other restaurants. The beach is good, but the promised reef is dead. There were fish, of course, but we have something to compare it with, so we didn't even dive from the pontoon. The peculiarity of the beach and the entry into the sea is that you can walk along the spit very far, as on the Gulf of Finland. Who knows, he will understand. The overall impression is good. We took a taxi to the mall, but there were too many people there, the prices are the same as everywhere else.
Great hotel! There are never queues at restaurants, there are no crowds on the beach, a large water park, delicious food, and the main feature is the river road, along which a boat floats, which takes people to restaurants and recreation areas. Bicycles, pedal cars, catamarans can be rented free of charge at this hotel. It is a very beautiful hotel, I have been there 2 times. Especially after the renovation, the hotel has become even better.The coolest hotel in Egypt in my opinion!
A large and clean area. A bay with sand. The beach is always full of sunbeds.
It's quiet at night, you can get enough sleep
There are no drunks. Polite, unobtrusive staff.
I visited for the second time 9 years later with three children.
The hotel has not deteriorated at all. I recommend
Price + quality is an ideal vacation, the hotel is not new, the rooms are large, the furniture is not new but good-quality, cosmetics are missing in the bathroom, but daily cleaning is perfect, the minibar is replenished for free. The territory is huge and very well maintained - in reality it looks better than on the posters, the food is varied, you can't call it a restaurant, but the coffee shop is of the highest class. We went to the valley of the Pharaohs and on a boat trip on a yacht - not a shadow of regret. The sea is warm from April 15-20, until then, as luck would have it-20-22 degrees maybe.
A great hotel with good service and "fresh" rooms. Among the disadvantages, we can note a weak hair dryer, not the best cosmetics, the lack of slippers and bathrobes in the rooms, but it does not bother much. In a huge, well-groomed and clean area, you can ride on a small boat, or on 4-seater bicycles. Darts, bocce, mini golf. Water slides, including children's ones. The entrance to the sea with sand is fairly flat. There are many restaurants. The food is not bad by Egyptian standards, the alcohol is only local. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast, cooked in front of you. Wonderful coffee in specialized cafes and bars. I liked the Asian restaurant in the evening. There are small flies in open areas. The staff is helpful, except for the bar staff. These are trying to be rude, but they quickly 'cool down'. The reception staff are very responsive and smiling.
