Pickalbatros Aqua Blu

We stayed at this hotel 8 times now, everything was great as always. We rested for 14 days and during that time the service was good, the beer was cold and the weather was warm. The staff remembered us and we felt as at home. Our room cleaner Hesham Alaa was good. We will definitely visit you again.

I recently stayed at this hotel with my family for our vacation. It was my second visit to this property, and I have also stayed at their sister hotel, Jungle Aqua Park in Hurghada. While this hotel offers a pleasant experience, it falls short in comparison to Jungle Aqua Park in some key areas. For instance, Jungle Aqua Park provides a wider variety of halal drinks and boasts five restaurants to choose from, whereas this hotel only has two restaurants. Additionally, the night entertainment here is quite disappointing and could use significant improvement. Would I return? Unfortunately, no. I would prefer to stay at Jungle Aqua Park instead. That said, I would like to express my gratitude to some exceptional staff members who made our stay more enjoyable. A special thanks to Chef Surya for preparing some delicious Indian dishes that made me feel truly special. Also, a big thank you to Ahmed Omer for the lovely coffee and Ibrahim in the bakery for his outstanding service.

We were there from 16th to 23rd December 24. Best place so far after many visits to Sharm. Clean and spacious rooms. Amazing restaurant and special thank you to the manager and Ali Atia and bartender Ahmed for the wonderful evening on my wife's birthday

Great resort for families. Lots of pools & slides & activities throughout the day & in the evening. Beach is fab - a must for snorkelling. Good range of food & drinks. Rooms cleaned & made up daily. Staff friendly & helpful. Lots of opportunities to do extra trips & activities.

Well it's a bit of a mixed bag this place. What shall we do first... lets get the negatives out the way first. Food. This is really boring and the same each day pretty much. The breakfast options were really limited, and evening meals were just about palatable. Drinks A really poor selection of drinks were available, and the local spirits they use are disgusting. So much so that we went and bought vodka off site to drink. Kids drinks are similarly very restricted. Animations Team complete rubbish, unless you are Russian. (NB the hotel is very Russian heavy in terms of occupancy) None of them spoke English more than a couple of words, they werent engaging, paid our 10 year old son zero attention and really were a waste of space. The only time they spoke to my wife was to ask her to write a review on google. So they arent very smart either. Trips. We booked a Quad bike safari through the rep at the hotel, a man called Bishoy. He promised sunsets and echo canyons and a great experience. What we got was no sun sets, no echo canyons, just a flat dirt track that was very bumpy and hundreds of other quad bikers, all going to the same little tented area where the main aim was to get as much cash out of the tourists as possible. It was boring, dangerous, and zero fun. When I mentioned this to Bishoy, his reply "next time will be better". Well there wont be a next time as we wont be conned twice. I think ive gone on enough about the bad points enough, now for the good. Egyptian Staff. Wow these guys are so good, they are friendly, and cant do enough to help you. They recognise you after the first meeting and are a compelete credit to the hotel. From the guy who helps you with your luggage when you arrive to the waiters in the restaurants, to the bar tenders and life guards, not forgeting the gardners and cleaners. They are all brilliant. Rooms We booked a family room for me my wife and our son, it was lovely. The best room we have had in Egypt. My sons bed was in a partitioned arean in the bedroom and it just works. The Air con was fantastic, plus you get a cold fridge. There were two channels on the TV in english, one for films and the other BBC News. Water slides. Brilliant! loads of fun and cleverly they closed them at lunch time on a rota basis so that there was always slides open. Pools Loads to chose from and all lovely. Beach Take the free shuttle bus to the beach area, and there are plenty of sun beds and easy access to the sea. Which was beautiful and some great snorkeling to be had. Plus a beach bar with drinks and snacks at lunch time. Upkeep The hotel is huge, almost maybe too big, but it is kept pristine by the team of gardners and cleaners. A lovely place to be. Spa Well worth a visit. The staff are great and services and superb. We did a deal on four massages for £160 Each 45 mins to an hour long. So as I said a mixed bag. We wont be going back as there are better places, but we certainly had a great week away in a beautiful hotel.
