02Overview

A first look

The resort occupies a beachfront site in Hurghada and offers several outdoor pools and on-site restaurants. We arrange transfers, snorkel trips and diving bookings for guests who prefer not to self-organise.

Background

The facts

Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort is a beachfront hotel on Sahl Hasheesh Road in Hurghada, in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. Its setting is south of central Hurghada and is geared towards resort stays rather than city-centre accommodation.

The property has direct access to a private beach area, several pools and rooms ranging from standard doubles to family suites. Sea-view and garden-view rooms are available, and many rooms have balconies. The hotel’s Hard All-Inclusive rate covers buffet meals, selected drinks and daytime activities according to hotel policy.

Hurghada is a Red Sea coastal city in eastern Egypt. The resort’s beach, pools and on-site facilities form the main focus of a stay; central Hurghada offers a more urban setting.

Room rates do not automatically include airport transfers. Spa treatments, salon services, premium drinks, speciality dining, minibar charges and gratuities are excluded unless included in your booking.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • This Hurghada resort suits couples, families and travellers aged roughly 25 to 65 who want a beach-based holiday with pools and on-site facilities. Choose it if you prefer a quieter setting on Sahl Hashish Road over staying near Hurghada city nightlife.

Maybe not, if

  • It is not the best choice if you want to stay near Hurghada’s city nightlife or need airport transport included in the room rate. Travellers seeking a small hotel with few resort facilities may prefer a different style of stay.

What lingers

  • 01Located in Hurghada on Egypt's Red Sea coast – beach access and local snorkelling options.
  • 02We can arrange private transfers from Hurghada International Airport to Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort.
  • 03All-inclusive and half-board packages are commonly offered; confirm exact board basis and extras when booking.
  • 04Short boat trips to Giftun Island depart from Hurghada marina; we can reserve timed snorkel excursions.
  • 05We do not run mass coach transfers; choose private cars or scheduled shuttles for quieter arrival and departure.

Worth knowing

How this compares

Central Hurghada hotels place guests closer to the city’s urban setting; this resort is on Sahl Hasheesh Road, south of the centre, with a beach-focused setting. Unlike a room-only rate, the stated Hard All-Inclusive basis includes buffet meals, selected drinks and daytime activities under hotel policy.

    Tailor it

    Make it yours

    Airport transfers can be added to the booking, rather than included automatically. Room choices include standard doubles and family suites, with sea-view or garden-view options and balconies available. Check the room rate for the exact Hard All-Inclusive terms, as premium drinks, speciality dining and minibar charges may cost extra.

    Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.

    Where it fits

    Use this Hurghada stay as a Red Sea beach break before or after time in Cairo or Luxor. Its Sahl Hasheesh Road setting is quieter than central Hurghada, so allow for a drive if you want to visit the marina or city centre.

    Accessibility

    Who can join this

    Accessibility varies between room blocks and facilities at Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort. Please tell us about mobility needs before booking; we'll confirm step-free routes, lift locations, accessible-room features, routes from the lobby to your room, restaurants and pool, bathroom access and any available assistance. The resort has a private sandy beach, where soft sand can make wheelchair access difficult. Pool surrounds may have steps, and paths, thresholds or routes between buildings may not be level. Do not assume a beach wheelchair or step-free room is available.

    Before you go

    What to pack & wear

    Children & families

    Children are welcome, and the resort has children's facilities and family-suite options. We'll confirm the minimum check-in age for the lead guest, the hotel's child age bands, the room rate, and cot and high-chair availability before booking. Child pricing depends on the selected rate and ages. Strollers are likely to be most practical on paved resort routes; soft beach sand can be difficult to navigate.

    These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.

    Location

    The setting

    Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort is a five-star hotel in Hurghada, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Hurghada is the regional base for the property. We’ll confirm the hotel’s exact address and arrange transport around your plans rather than assuming nearby attractions are within walking distance.

    Asked & answered

    Frequent questions

    1. 01How can I travel from Hurghada Airport to Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort?
      Travel time from Hurghada Airport depends on traffic, and we can arrange a private transfer on arrival. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we can organise private cars, shared shuttles or meet-and-greet help when you arrive. Delays to your flight, landing at another terminal and traffic along the coast may all affect the trip; send us your flight number and arrival time and we’ll recommend the most suitable pick-up. You can request child seats, a bigger vehicle or a meet-and-greet with a driver whose name we provide beforehand; these usually incur an additional charge.
    2. 02Is the resort suitable for families with children?
      Yes – the resort is a popular choice for families, although it can be noisier in peak season. Many Hurghada resorts offer children’s pool areas and family rooms, but childcare and kids’ club facilities differ; we’ll confirm what’s available before you book. Shared spaces are likely to be busier during school holidays, while nearby beaches have limited shade around midday. For a quieter stay, request a room away from poolside activities. We can also ask for adjoining rooms and a cot or bed, subject to availability.
    3. 03What facilities does Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort have?
      The property offers resort-style facilities; we confirm the exact list and opening times at booking. Resort facilities commonly include on-site dining, leisure pools, a spa and beach access, but individual offerings and seasonal opening hours differ by hotel. Compared with small boutique hotels, resort properties like this prioritise on-site leisure facilities and daytime activities over highly personalised, intimate service. Tell us which facilities matter most and we will check availability and any extra charges before you travel.
    4. 04Are water activities and snorkelling available at the resort?
      Yes – water sports and snorkelling are generally available through operators at the resort or at nearby marinas. Boat trips to the Giftun Islands and guided snorkelling outings usually leave from Hurghada Marina; excursions, equipment rental and activities with an instructor are normally charged separately. Operators assess sea conditions daily, since wind and tides can affect activities and may require a change of date for safety. If you’d prefer a private snorkelling or diving guide, we can arrange certified operators and boat transfers in advance.
    5. 05What should I bring and wear for a stay at Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort?
      Bring high-factor sun protection, a hat, light clothing, swimwear and modest cover-ups for any religious sites. Also pack sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, sturdy sandals for sand and hotel paths, basic first-aid supplies and any prescription medicines in original packaging. Some hotel restaurants have smart-casual evening dress codes; we will confirm those requirements before travel. Expect strong midday sun and limited shade on the beach – plan sun-protection and a reusable water bottle for day use.
    6. 06Can I request early check-in or late check-out?
      Early check-in and late check-out are subject to hotel availability and may incur a supplement. Hotels often base allowances on room readiness; we can request early arrival or late departure in advance but cannot guarantee it. If guaranteed flexibility is essential, booking the night before arrival or the night of departure is the most reliable option. We will always try to negotiate complimentary options when possible and inform you of any charges before confirmation.

    Mercure Hurghada (All Inclusive)

    Mercure Hurghada is an all-inclusive hotel on Hurghada's Red Sea coast offering meals, selected drinks and on-site leisure facilities. Meals and selected drinks are included in the published all-inclusive rate. We recommend Mercure Hurghada when clients want straightforward beach time rather than a touring base; we do not position it as a starting point for multi-day archaeological travel. We arrange private transfers from Hurghada International Airport and snorkelling excursions on the Red Sea. Note: all-inclusive pricing reduces local dining choices, and evenings at the hotel can be lively – request a room away from the entertainment area if you prefer quiet.

    Pickalbatros White Beach Resort, Hurghada

    Pickalbatros White Beach Resort is a Hurghada hotel on the Red Sea, bookable through our licensed Egyptian tour operator. We sell this property as a straightforward beach option rather than a bundled Nile-and-beach package; many clients prefer to add a separate Nile stay so each part of Egypt gets proper time. We include private airport transfers and can add diving or snorkelling excursions on request. Expect busy periods in July–August and limited shade on the shoreline at midday; we recommend early-morning snorkel trips and an early check-in when possible. Rates, room types and transfer times are confirmed at booking.

    Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada – Red Sea Beach Resort

    Pickalbatros Palace Resort sits on Hurghada's Red Sea coastline. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we arrange transfers from Hurghada International Airport (HRG), plus private snorkel and dive charters from the marina. Unlike many shuttle-based all-inclusive packages, we favour private charters so you reach reefs early and avoid crowded boat decks. Expect stronger northerly winds and busy beaches in July–August; reef moorings and snorkel sites are busiest then. For quieter sea conditions, consider April–June or September–November. We can also combine a Hurghada stay with inland excursions or a Nile extension on request.
