Hurghada Family Hotels with Game Rooms

A games room matters in Hurghada because the beach and the pool are hard to enjoy in the middle of the day for much of the year. An indoor space with billiards, table tennis or arcade machines gives children a break from the sun without leaving the hotel. Most of the resorts listed here run on an all-inclusive formula that covers most indoor games, though some arcade tokens may be extra. They differ in what they offer: water slides, a long private beach, a bowling lane or a console lounge.

The Pickalbatros Jungle Aqua Park - Neverland Hurghada is the choice for younger children who want everything in one place. This jungle-themed 4-star, scoring 9.1 from more than 5,600 reviews, combines a water park with 35 slides, an indoor Neverland area with arcade games, billiards and table tennis, and a daily animation programme that moves the children into the indoor games room when the slides close for the evening. The all-inclusive band covers most of the indoor activities. For a family that wants a full day of activities without planning, it is the most complete option on this page.

The Siva Grand Beach, a 4-star on the Corniche scoring 9.3 from more than 4,200 reviews, is the most central of the five. Its games room has a pool table, table tennis, darts and board games, with a small arcade for children and three pools. Being closer to central Hurghada than the southern compounds makes it easy to reach local restaurants and the town, which suits families who want to step outside the resort now and then. It offers an all-inclusive package as an option, so the family can choose how much to eat at the hotel.

For teenagers, the JAZ Elite Casa Del Mar Beach and the Sunrise Crystal Bay Resort stand out. The JAZ Elite, a 5-star family compound on the Touristic Promenade scoring 9.1, has a games room with a pool table area, a table tennis hall and an Xbox and PlayStation lounge for older children, plus two pools and an outdoor kids' aqua zone. The Sunrise Crystal Bay Resort, a 5-star scoring 9.4, the best on this page, has a full indoor entertainment centre with arcade machines, air hockey, billiards, table tennis, a small bowling lane and daily tournaments, with most game tokens included in the all-inclusive.

The Hurghada Long Beach Resort completes the list with one of the longest private beaches in Hurghada, about a kilometre long. This 5-star scores 9.2 from about 700 reviews and has a games room with billiards and table tennis, a separate kids' arcade with prize tickets and tennis courts. Its all-inclusive covers most game-room activities, except premium arcade tokens. It suits families who want space on the sand in the morning and a quiet indoor break in the afternoon, and children who enjoy collecting tickets for prizes will look forward to the arcade every day.
