Which room is better to choose in a family resort in Hurghada: is one side of the swim-up block better, what bed setup is typical in standard rooms, and is it suitable for kids and non-swimmers?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago

TL;DR

Guests say the right side of the family swim-up block is the better choice because it gets more sun and has easier access to loungers. Standard rooms are commonly described as one double bed plus a sofa, while family rooms are associated with the swim-up category; the shallow shore area is considered manageable for kids and non-swimmers.

What the community said

For families with children and weaker swimmers, the shallow shoreline is described as comfortable: it worked for a toddler around 2 years old, a 5-year-old non-swimmer, and adults who do not swim. However, stronger swimmers may find there is not enough open water for proper swimming.

The standard room setup is most commonly expected to be one double bed plus a sofa. If you need separate sleeping places for everyone, it is worth requesting a twin-bed option with a sofa in advance, as that is not confirmed as the default layout.

If you are booking a family swim-up room, guests recommend asking for the right side of the block. On the left side, these rooms reportedly have chairs only and no loungers directly by the room; the sunbeds are placed on the opposite side of the pool and there are fewer of them than rooms. The right side also gets better sun exposure.
