Hare Krsna prabhuji,
PAMHO.
That is the depth of our scriptures. Before I read Bhagavad Gita for the 1st time, I used to think heaven is the highest destination. While reading Gita, I realised that it is not even one of the coveted destinations for a true seeker.
Other religions will talk of heaven, jannat - that is the highest destination according to them.
As per our scriptures, swarg/ heaven is not even to be aspired for.
We aim for Goloka Vrindavan, not even Vaikuntha planets. Our aim is the highest - unmotivated, uninterrupted service to the supreme lord. We dont care - heaven or hell or anything in between. We understand the highest pleasure, the most sublime is devotional service to the lord and His deovtees.
Then what to speak of 1 or 1000 or any number of hoor/ apsara.
Examples are Haridas thakur, Arjuna, even Vishwamitra - once he came to his senses after the Urvashi episode, he didnt take a moment to discard his lust (nothing against Urvashi here) and proceed towards self realisation.
Haribol,
Your servant,

If I am not wrong hoors are basically apsaras, right?
First things first islam, hindu, news, these exist only on this planet not in higher planetry systems like sun or moon or indraplanet . So getting 72 hoors only for Muslim and other for Hindu/Christian, this whole concept doesn't comply.
Second of all in heaven they engage in singing, dancing, drinking Soma rasa and in sexual pleasure, they are not designated to one person but they engage in these for pleasure and that too continuously since they don't get tired. I dknt think you "get" hoorsor whatever like that
Also we are engaging in devotional service not to enjoy sensual pleasure with apsara but rather for engaging with krsna in his eternal service.
Hindu gets 3 hoors Urvashi Menaka and Rambha
Also as mataji has said, we are not here to "get" hoors or anything like that. Since heaven (indraloka, etc) also come in material planets. We aspire to engage with krsna in spiritual planet of golok , of course a pure devotee doesn't even care for golok as long as he is serving the lord. But for people like us , we should atleast give up this debate of who gets more sexual pleasure in heaven
Well as I said. Hindu mulsim is created here not in higher planetry systems. Also rambha, Menaka, urvashi- how many of them do you think are there. Also hoors are a bit different from apsaras(like Urvashi and others). Also "getting" I feel is a bit strange word to use in this context, I don't think it's like possession.
