Is it worth returning to the same hotel in Hurghada or better to try new ones?

One traveler finds it a good idea to split a 14-day holiday among three hotels. They would return to Jungle, but for no more than five days; Dana was less appealing after Jungle, so they would choose other independent hotels for future trips.

Repeat guests are planning their fifth January stay at the hotel. They note that, unlike their early visits when there were very few guests, the hotel was fully occupied by international travelers on their most recent trip.

According to a guest who checked out on September 18, beach loungers were still available when arriving at about 10 a.m.: not in the front row, but consistently in the second row.

A guest staying at the hotel in late September, compared with the same period last year, reports warm sea water and only a light breeze.

A guest finished a 17-day trip, spending 13 days at Dana and 4 nights at Leila, and was satisfied with the stay. They consider splitting a family holiday between two hotels a good option for trips of two weeks or more and would like to return to Dana in about a year.

A guest who paid 230 for 8 days regrets the choice: in their view, adding another 30–40 could have secured a reliable good hotel. They feel the stay might have seemed acceptable at around 137.

According to a commenter, the hotel was listed as 4-star about a year ago but is now shown as 3-star across online resources.

A guest who stayed in early June last year reports the pier was closed twice over a 10-day stay (once for about 2 hours, once longer); on the day swimming was allowed, waves were strong making snorkeling difficult. Otherwise the hotel was fine with good value for money — spent whole days on the beach, skipping the restaurant on the last days.

One commenter suggests that if the hotel turns out disappointing and many vacation days remain, it may be possible to request a hotel change through the tour guide.

Another guest notes that the experience seems to depend on the time of year: they visited twice in April and once in November, and had no issues with staff during those periods.

A guest who visited this hotel 3 times a year for 3 years decided to stop returning since summer 2024: service quality dropped sharply, huge guest numbers cause chaos in the dining halls, and the single pier can't handle the crowd, leading to long queues that ruin the vacation.

A recent guest who stayed about 6 weeks ago says they likely won't return — there's too much world to see to keep revisiting the same hotel. Next destinations on their list include China, Vietnam, or Thailand.

Another traveler is just checking in and plans to compare this hotel with White Hills, which was reportedly excellent before but has allegedly declined in quality.

A repeat guest who has stayed 8 times over 2 years notes that quality fluctuates — it goes through good and bad phases. Winter was noticeably worse, but it's back to normal now. For the budget price point, she considers it excellent value. The main downside is the rooms, but she barely spends time in them.

The same regular guest adds: the grounds are large and scenic, food is simple but tasty — fine for those not focused on dining. The hotel is somewhat far from the city center, but manageable by taxi, with the airport about 30 minutes away.

A guest from last year says the hotel was generally fine. The sea occasionally receded (low tide), but over a 10-day stay this only happened twice.
