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.

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.

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.
All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.
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.
Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
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.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.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.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.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.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.
