Which Hurghada hotels give direct swimming access to the Red Sea (not just a pool)?

Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago

TL;DR

At Barcelo-branded hotels guests actually swim in the Red Sea right from the shore, while at Nabq-area hotels people tend to just sit on the beach in the morning rather than swim. The near-shore sea quality in Hurghada itself is rated very high.

What the community said

If sea swimming matters more than food, drinks or the pool, look at hotels like Barcelo — guests there actually swim in the Red Sea instead of hanging out by the pool.
