Pickalbatros Blu Spa Resort - Adults Friendly 16 Years Plus- Ultra All-Inclusive

A true 10/10 hotel. While I have some improvement points (written later), the hotel is exceptional. Everything was great! - ultra all inclusive service; - 3 restaurants for dinner (buffet), food variety was great, they had "special" food offerings daily for lunch & dinner (like shish tawook, burgers, roasted lamb...) - healthy bar, lobby bar, beach bar; - staff is exceptionally nice and useful. The security at the entrance was very welcoming; - rooms are very very clean & tidy, every bit was cleaned; - location is near airport, on promenade, there are many shops, mosque is close by (<200m walk); - pools are very clean and regularly maintained; - they wash pool sun beds every day; - private beach is very close and well maintained; - there are enough toilets and they are very clean; - room was comfortably big and A/C was great; - evening events were great, especially live singer & fire show; - they had WC2026 program, where scores were written on the board, and matches were streamed on all TVs including the big screen;

- very big & negative thing for me was the bathroom door - it had 5-6 cm gap from the floor, letting every sound and smell from the bathroom. I cannot understand why hotel did this. If it weren't for other exceptional things, this would lower the score to 9/10 or even 8/10. - A/C remote would be useful! Hurghada is hot, even on nights, so it would be useful to turn on/off the A/C from the bed, instead of getting up and pressing the button on the wall controller. We are sensitive to A/C, so cannot sleep whole night with A/C, but occasionally we turn it on when it is hot in the middle of the night, and then turn it off. - the beach is small. Very small actually. And when tide effect hits, half of the beach is dry or shallower than 50cm. The tide effects here are not as extreme as in other parts, but still the swim lines should be 20-30 meters farther. * nitpicks: * - the shower gel was refilled only once in 6d stay, resulting in no gel the last day. I would expect shower gel to be refilled daily in a resort where showering is 5-times-a-day activity; - non alcoholic drinks do not have much variety, i.e. they do not have Coke Zero at the refill machines, Moctails are very basic and not tasteful, the coffee machines brew not-so-good coffee; - they do not have sweets/desserts for the lunch (only dinner), only fruits; - the ice cream is very basic, and have only 4 flavors (1-2 of them available); - the cakes/desserts for the dinner verte not that tasteful and they had only small variety (couple of different cakes only); - the Golden Lounge Restaurant (the only one A la carte) is available only once per stay and requires 3 days upfront reservation; - the Blue Lounge (Asian) restaurant was closed when we visited and the Pickalbatros app said it was open (we visited around 19:15); - not sure why they close the pier at 18:30? They can close the steps to the sea, but pier would be nice to walk on in the sunset

Everything was wonderful the pool the beach and the food The animation team was so active The staff and specially Mr.sayed ibrahim so friendly Thank you all You made our stay so special

Nothing

- The place was very clean and well-maintained throughout our stay - The staff were incredibly warm and respectful — a special mention to Mr. Sayed at the reception who was outstanding in his service - The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, with a stunning view that made waking up a pleasure - The amenities and services were accessible and available everywhere across the property - The hotel has a genuinely quiet, peaceful atmosphere — perfect for relaxation - Wi-Fi was available everywhere across the property, strong and reliable - The heated pool was fantastic

- No doctor or pharmacy in the hotel or nearby — my wife felt unwell early one morning and we had no quick access to medical assistance. This is a real gap for guests with health needs - The breakfast and food variety was limited and not always at its best quality - The Asian restaurant was disappointing and far below the standard of the rest of the hotel

“Amazing Stay! An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel exceeded all expectations with its outstanding hospitality, elegant atmosphere, and impeccable service. Every member of the staff was genuinely welcoming, professional, and dedicated to making our stay truly unforgettable. The rooms were beautifully maintained, the food was of excellent quality, and the overall experience was truly world-class. The ambiance, cleanliness, and level of comfort made this one of the finest hotel experiences I have ever had. Special thanks to Mr. Diaa, the General Manager, for his remarkable hospitality, professionalism, and attention to every detail. Highly recommended for anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and exceptional service. I will definitely return again.”
