Seagull Beach Resort – Families and Couples Only

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Seagull Beach Resort? It’s actually tucked away on this quieter stretch of Sheraton Road where you’re not dealing with the chaos of central Hurghada – I mean, you can still hear the occasional call to prayer from the nearby mosques, but it’s more peaceful than those massive resorts closer to the marina. The moment you walk into the lobby, there’s this immediate sense that they’ve figured out how to balance family-friendly without letting it turn into complete mayhem (probably because they’re pretty strict about their adults-and-families-only policy).

The rooms are honestly better than what you’d expect from a 4-star in this price range. I’ve stayed at plenty of Red Sea resorts, and usually you’re dealing with dated furniture or questionable plumbing, but these guys have kept things fresh. The air conditioning actually works – and trust me, when it’s 40 degrees outside in July, that matters more than fancy marble floors. What really got me though was how they’ve positioned most rooms so you catch those cross-breezes from the sea, which means you’re not running the AC constantly. The pools are well-maintained too, and they’ve got this clever setup where the family pool has its own section that’s naturally separated from the quieter adult area, so couples aren’t constantly dodging pool noodles.

Here’s the thing about the location that most people don’t realize until they’re there – you’re about a 15-minute walk from that little strip of local restaurants and shops that the tour groups never find. The hotel’s restaurant is decent (their fish is actually fresh, not frozen like some places), but honestly, if you venture out toward the old town side, there’s this tiny place called Abu Mahmoud that serves the best koshari you’ll find outside Cairo. The beach itself is what you’d hope for – decent snorkeling right off the shore, though the coral’s better if you walk about 200 meters south toward the fishing boats. Staff wise, they’re genuinely helpful without being overly pushy about excursions, and most speak enough English to handle the usual tourist questions. The only minor complaint I’d have is that check-in can be slow during peak season (March and October especially), but once you’re settled, the 8.5 rating makes total sense. It’s one of those places where you can tell the management actually cares about the experience rather than just packing people in and hoping for the best.

• Inor from Spain – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very friendly staff and Mahmoud from Guest Relations took care of our requests very well. The food was generally good and there was always something nice to choose from the buffet. We had a big room with pool view from the balcony and the facilities were great, including the two small private beaches. Highly recommend Seagull Beach Resort.
  
  What could be improved: Egyptian alcohol is not the best in the world 🙂

• Michael from Austria – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

  A very nice location. The beach was exceptional. There are a lot of different fish to find at snorkeling in front of the beach.
  
  The food was really good and a lot of variation.
  
  Also we had Huda as an assistant. She took care of us and was everytime available for various questions and assistance. She was very kind to us and very attentive.
  
  What could be improved: Holiday was too short

• Fabienne from France – 3 May 2025 (8/10)

  All is perfect
  
  What could be improved: Rien

• Jader from Portugal – 16 April 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel facilities are very nice, the beaches on the Red Sea are beautiful, and you have the option of a smaller calm beach with fewer waves and a bigger beach. The food served at breakfast, lunch and dinner was of good quality, and drinks were also included (juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages).
  
  What could be improved: We expected the small camel ride inside the hotel to be free or very cheap, but the gentleman wanted to charge us an extra 15 EUR (not even near the pyramids, the ride was so expensive). And as with any other extra activities, like snorking or windsurfing, the extra charge can vary widely depending on the amount of people looking for that activity and your capacity to bargain with the seller.

• Indira from Ireland – 14 April 2025 (8/10)

• Barbora from Czech Republic – 25 March 2025 (8/10)

  Good location in the city center. All staff were really welcoming and ever so helpfull, we wanted our room to be changed and there was absolutely no problem. 2 great restaurants and few bars, tables get cleaned within seconds after previous guests have left, no queues, everything seems to be organized and smooth. Same at the swimmingpools. Rooms are clean,beds comfortable. Hany the manager always around to make sure all is ok,thank you ;).
  
  What could be improved: Our total lack of self discipline when it comes to food 😀
