TL;DR
Sunrise has a better beach for swimming — more space and less crowded. Dana Beach's sea area is small and gets packed on weekends.
Sunrise has a noticeably better beach for swimming — enough space to actually enjoy the water. Dana Beach has a small, shallow sea area that gets completely taken over by large groups on weekends. Service quality is similar at both hotels, though check-in reception can be slow — a common issue across Hurghada right now.
Hurghada's main draw is its marine life — fish, rays, and coral reefs. That's the core reason to visit, and avoiding the water over rare incidents would be like going to an amusement park and skipping all the rides.
Cyprus offers a completely different style of beach holiday with very clean water — a solid alternative for those who prefer calm, straightforward beach relaxation over the dive-focused experience of Hurghada.
