I hope you enjoyed yourself
A close alternative that focuses on the person’s overall experience.

A simple, neutral alternative for most social or recreational experiences.

I hope it was worthwhile
Best for an activity that required time, effort, or expense and was meant to provide value.

I hope you found it useful

I hope you found it enjoyable
A slightly formal alternative that works for events, activities, and organized experiences.

Use “Useful” or “Worthwhile” for Professional Events
For a course, workshop, conference, or meeting, asking whether it was “useful” or “worthwhile” may sound more appropriate than focusing on enjoyment. For holidays, parties, and social events, “I hope you had a great time” is usually the most natural choice.
