Royal Beach Resort, Hurghada

Royal Beach Resort, Hurghada Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Royal Beach Resort, Hurghada, I’ll be honest — it’s not going to blow you away with flashy architecture or marble lobbies. This three-star property has that comfortable, unpretentious vibe that actually works really well for a Red Sea getaway. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth (not the rehearsed kind), and I could immediately hear the waves just beyond the main building. You know what struck me most? How relaxed everyone looked — guests wandering around in flip-flops, kids running between the pool and beach, couples just… chilling.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s the thing about Hurghada — location really matters, and this place nailed it. You’re right on the beach (I mean, literally steps from your room to the sand), but you’re also close enough to the main strip that grabbing dinner elsewhere or hitting the local markets doesn’t require a major expedition. I noticed tons of couples here, which makes sense given how peaceful this stretch of coastline feels. The resort sits on Hurghada Ismailia Road, so getting around is pretty straightforward if you want to explore beyond the property.

Rooms and Comfort

My accommodation was clean and functional — think comfortable beds, decent air conditioning (crucial in Egypt!), and a balcony where I actually spent quite a bit of time. The bathrooms aren’t fancy, but everything worked properly, and honestly, when you’re spending most of your day by the water, you just need a good place to crash. The views vary depending on which side you’re on, but even the garden-view rooms are pleasant enough. I appreciated having enough space to spread out my stuff without feeling cramped.

Beach and Dining

The beach access is really what makes this place special. The Red Sea here is absolutely gorgeous — clear water, decent snorkeling right off the shore, and enough space that you’re not fighting for a spot. The hotel’s restaurant serves up a mix of international and Egyptian dishes that won’t win any awards but definitely hits the spot after a day in the sun. I actually enjoyed the local fish dishes more than the international options, if that helps. The poolside bar makes a solid cocktail, and the prices are reasonable for a beachfront spot.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a five-star resort, and it doesn’t pretend to be. What it offers is solid value, a great location, and that laid-back atmosphere that makes a beach vacation actually feel relaxing. The 7.8 rating makes perfect sense to me — it delivers on what matters most without any unnecessary frills. Couples seem to really appreciate the peaceful vibe and easy beach access, and I can see why. If you’re looking for a straightforward Red Sea experience without breaking the bank, this place gets the job done really well.
