02 Overview
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 hotel stay product in Hurghada, located on Sahl Hasheesh Road in the Red Sea governorate. The property is positioned south of central Hurghada, in an area known for resort-style accommodation and easier access to the shoreline than inner-city hotels. It is commonly used by travelers who want a beach-focused base rather than a city-center stay.
The resort offers beachfront accommodation with direct sea access, multiple pools, and room categories that include standard doubles and family suites. Many rooms have balconies, with sea view and garden view options available. As a hotel-rate product, the stay is arranged on a Hard All-Inclusive basis, which typically covers buffet meals, selected drinks, and daytime activities according to hotel policy.
Hurghada is a year-round Red Sea destination, with the resort setting making it suitable for guests who plan to spend most of their time on property or by the beach. Sahl Hasheesh Road connects the area to other parts of the Hurghada coastline, while the quieter location generally places it away from the busier nightlife zones of central Hurghada. Airport transfers are not bundled automatically and can be added at booking if required.
Facilities mentioned for the property include a spa, gym, concierge services, Wi-Fi where provided by the hotel, parking, and children's facilities. For hotel-rate comparisons, this type of resort is different from a city hotel because the emphasis is on pool access, beach access, and included meals rather than sightseeing or urban convenience.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
-
01 How do I get from Hurghada Airport to Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort?
Transfer time from Hurghada Airport varies with traffic; we can arrange private arrival transfers. We, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, can book private cars, shared shuttles or meet-and-greet assistance on arrival. Flight delays, arrivals at different terminals and coastal traffic affect exact transfer times; tell us your flight number and arrival time so we can confirm the best pick-up. Child seats, larger vehicles and meet-and-greet with a named driver are available on request and usually charged separately. -
02 Is the resort suitable for families with children?
Yes – the resort commonly hosts families, though noise levels rise in peak season. Many resort properties in Hurghada accommodate children with pool areas and family rooms, but exact childcare or kids’ club provisions vary; we will confirm these before you book. Expect busier public spaces at school holidays and limited shade on beaches at midday; if you prefer quieter accommodation, ask us for rooms away from poolside activity. We can also request interconnecting rooms and cot/bed options when available. -
03 What 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. -
04 Are water activities and snorkelling available at the resort?
Yes – water-sports and snorkelling options are commonly available through on-site operators or nearby marinas. Boat trips to the Giftun Islands and guided snorkel excursions normally depart from Hurghada Marina; these trips, equipment hire and instructor-led activities are usually charged extra. Sea conditions change with wind and tide, so operators check conditions daily and may reschedule for safety. If you want a private snorkel or dive guide, we can arrange certified operators and boat transfers in advance. -
05 What 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. -
06 Can 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.

Boudle Grand Pyramids Hotel is a Giza hotel we book for guests visiting the Giza Plateau. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator. We do not place clients on coach-group itineraries; instead we arrange private transfers and time visits with our Egyptologists to avoid peak crowds. Some rooms have direct views of the Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure pyramids; others face the street, so request a pyramid-view room at booking. The hotel is convenient for short stays beside the plateau, but allow extra time for central Cairo sites because of local traffic.

Cleopatra Luxury Sharm El Sheikh is a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh offering beach and pool facilities.

Temperatures in summer often exceed 35°C; we recommend morning snorkeling and early transfers to avoid heat.
