Which rooms to avoid at Dana Beach Resort Sharm el Sheikh?

If you want to avoid ending up in an older standard room, it may help to bring extra cash: guests report that you can sometimes pay on-site to move up to a Privilege category room in the newer section.

Do not count on getting a better room category by slipping cash into the passport at check-in; according to recent comments, that informal upgrade tactic does not work at this hotel.

Dana Beach Resort has no truly bad rooms. You can request a specific room type at check-in and staff will try to accommodate, but if availability is limited, you'll get what was originally booked.

Building 34 is the least popular at the resort. It's frequently assigned to guests with late-night flights who need a place to freshen up before departure. It's worth asking the hotel in advance which building your room will be in.

Some guests book directly with the hotel upon arrival rather than through a tour operator — this can save money and gives more control over room and building selection.
