π³πΎββοΈ Salemβs Take: The Strollerβs Best Friend
If you have a child who is just learning to walk, or you are pushing a stroller everywhere, Dana Beach is your savior. Unlike many Hurghada hotels that are full of stairs and hills, Dana Beach is completely flat.
It is a very relaxed, spread-out resort centered around a seawater lagoon. The coolest part? You take a small shuttle boat from the reception to the beach. Kids absolutely love it.
Why Families with Small Kids Choose It
The Lagoon Boat
Skip the walking. Free pedal boats and shuttle boats carry you across the lagoon to the sea. It makes getting to the beach a fun mini-trip.
Baby Facilities
They "get" toddlers. Thereβs a dedicated shaded baby pool, high chairs that actually work, and the ground is soft grass or tile.
Castello Coffee
One of the best coffee bars in any All-Inclusive hotel. Essential fuel for tired parents.
Detailed Assessment
β The Good Stuff
- Reliability: Itβs a Pickalbatros hotel. The food is consistently good, safe, and varied.
- Space: The beach is huge. You never have to fight for a sunbed, even in high season.
- Location: Directly across from the Jungle Aqua Park and Senzo Mall. You have everything nearby.
β The "Meh" Stuff
- Sea Entry: The water at the beach is quite shallow for a long way out. Great for kids, annoying for swimmers (walk to the pier end).
- Decor: Some rooms feel a bit "classic" (ok, dated) compared to their newer hotels like White Beach.
π Airport & Mall Run
You are super close to the airport (15 mins). Don't pay the hiked-up taxi rates outside the gate.
Pre-book a van if you have a stroller and 4 suitcases.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Can we use the Jungle Aqua Park?
Usually, no. Jungle Aqua Park is a separate ticket. However, Dana Beach has its own smaller kids' pools and slides.
Is the lagoon water clean?
Yes, it is seawater that circulates. You can even see massive fish swimming in it (don't fish for them!).
Is it noisy?
Surprisingly, no. It is so spread out that even when full, it feels peaceful. The evening shows are in a dedicated arena.
