TL;DR
Travelers say an expensive Hurghada hotel may make sense for a 1–2 night stop, but for stays of 1–2 weeks or longer they recommend avoiding lower-comfort options like Zahabia and comparing Jungle carefully with similarly priced resorts: about 600,000 RUB per week was mentioned as too expensive for a mid-range hotel.
For a long stay of 16 nights, Zahabia was specifically described as a poor fit: acceptable for about a week at most, but too depressing or low-comfort for a longer holiday. Travelers suggest choosing a more comfortable Hurghada hotel for extended stays.
Families especially like Jungle, and children may love it, but around 600,000 RUB for one week was seen as unreasonable for a mid-range hotel. Travelers also noted that another resort in the same price bracket could have even worse food than Jungle, so at that budget it is worth comparing all-inclusive quality very carefully.
If you are staying in Hurghada for only 2 days, paying more for a hotel can still make sense: a rate of about 15,000 RUB per night was mentioned. The idea is that overpaying feels less painful on a very short stay than on a week-long or longer trip.
