TL;DR
For easy swimming in Hurghada, travelers often recommend Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi, and a few city hotels like Arabia Azur and Arabella Azur. In Sahl Hasheesh, The V, Pyramisa, and Serenity are mentioned for good beaches and minimal low-tide impact.
Sahl Hasheesh Bay is often recommended for hotels like The V, Pyramisa, and Serenity. Their beaches are considered very good, and low tide affects swimming less than in many other areas, though the underwater life is usually less impressive.
For travelers who want several swimming options in one hotel, Arabia Azur and Arabella Azur are frequently suggested. One side has deep water with ladder access, another has a gradual sandy entry, and there is also a reef with a pontoon.
Hotels in Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh are also commonly recommended for easier sea entry overall. In contrast, some Mamsha-area properties can stay shallow for a long distance from shore, including the area around Pickalbatros White Beach.
City hotels such as Seagull, Bella Vista, and La Pasha are usually seen as less suitable if you want a spacious beach and real swimming room. Their beaches tend to be small, and the swim area is often fenced off close to shore.
Among older but proven options, Zahabia is singled out for having some of the best sea conditions in Hurghada, especially if your top priority is swimming and beach quality rather than a newer hotel style.
