Dana Beach Resort

Dana Beach Resort is a lovely place for a short weekend getaway with family. The beach is very clean and the resort itself has so many things to offer. However, this resort is definitely NOT ideal for non-muslims. It is not possible to wear a normal swimwear so I was not able to swim with my kids at the pool area or the aqua play because it is required to wear a "burkini". Conservative clothing is still mandatory. My kids enjoyed their time though. At night, there is a fun zone and many activities for kids. If you are a hotel guest, some activities are free. The rooms are very spacious, but you can see it's quite outdated. They offer many restaurants to choose from. Breakfast buffet had a lovely location--beach view! We went in May, so the water in the beach was extremely warm. We were told that the best time to go is between November to April. Overall, we had a great experience but there is definitely room for improvement. The resort is very big and maintaining it is quite a challenge. We tried calling housekeeping or reception many times but no one answered. The rates of the room does not compensate for our experience. Paying more than 200 Euros per night, considering it is not a high season is a bit too much. They offer a 4 star facilities and 3 star service but with a price of a luxury resort.

Really enjoy our stay here and would not hesitate to book again. Most of the staff were very friendly and give a top class service. Food was good although sometimes repetitive but always found something to eat. The whole resort was kept spotless including my room. Fantastic place for families and couples.

Update: muslim & family friendly resort. Beach were silent and nice to swim. (Always keep swim shoes for the gulf). (Didnt try pool side) Rooms have great view. They have fun zone for kids. Animals, cat garden.. Mini market is available. Restaurant & room service is acceptable. - Needs walk to the beach No sunbeds. Few chairs only. No hair dryer at room (asked several times..)

I went to spend a day at Dana Beach. It is very well maintain3d as it is a private beach ⛱️ People with access pass can enter. Swimming pool area is very nice for children and females 👌 It has Freedom to enjoy 😉

Pool and sea beach are very good but services are not enough, in sea beach there is no public water shower available and in pool area only three water shower are available which are less and causing congestion and you have to wait sometime to get your shower. rooms are clean and service is ok however my friend had bad experience with el sayyad resturant reception guy , he was talking in bad manner and not respecting guests, after complaining him the saudi operation officer treated us very nice. There are alot of activities for kids and interaction shows and games , i dont know if this games are available all the time or only during eid holidays Food is very good
