This hotel is spot on from couples to family’s. We arrived and was shown to our room which was in block 5 at the back over looking gardens. Room 5226 Nice and quiet. Room is very spacious with 2 large single beds (we pushed these together to make a double) fridge in room with water, cleaner makes sure there is plenty of water each day! Also kettle with tea/coffee (no milk) you can grab some from restaurant and put in your fridge. Bathroom is huge ( shower is big enough to fit 5/6 people in) also you get shampoo/conditioner/soap and shower gel. Cleaner changes towels and bedding every day. Breakfast is served from 7am-10.00 Lots of choice Lunch and dinner 12.30-2.30 & 18.00-21.00 it says there is 3 restaurants but it’s all open so you can walk from one to another. There is also a late dinner from 10pm-midnight but very limited if you arrive late. This applies to aqua vista and aqua park which you can eat in all 3 Lots of bars to choose from we always choose the lobby bar in aqua blu or red sky bar in aqua vista as this is adults only through the day. Nice to have a pool with no kids. I do think it would benefit with some music playing. The Barman in red sky is a hard working lad. Always bringing drinks and very cheerful. Life guard is lovely, put your towels on beds for you and always full of chat. Pools are always clean, like stepping into a hot bath after dinner lol like I said earlier you can use all 3 hotel facilities aqua park had all the slides for kids, aqua blu has the wave pool and also little round jacuzzi, vista has 2 large rectangular pools, this one seemed to be quieter. Red sky pool is adults only. We spent every day there. Always activities and and entertainment throughout day/night. Saturday is everyone’s day off. You get towel cards where you go to the station each morning, hand card in and get towel. Then end of day take back and exchange If you wanna go to the beach there is a free shuttle bus that takes you and that runs from 8am- 6pm Only negative I can say about the hotel is the drinks. No much alcohol or all tastes the same. We stuck to red or rose wine. All in all a good hotel and will be back!

I had the pleasure of spending a week at Pickalbatros Blue Spa Resort and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! This hotel is truly a paradise for anyone seeking relaxation and first-class service.
The service was simply excellent. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive and always eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Whether at the reception, in the restaurant or by the pool – every employee always had a smile on their lips and a solution for every concern.
The food was excellent! The buffets offered a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes that were of the highest taste. The quality of the international and Egyptian food was particularly impressive – you could discover something new every day. The desserts were also a real highlight!
The rooms were spacious, modern and above all spotlessly clean. They were thoroughly cleaned every day, and small details such as artfully folded towels or fresh flowers provided an extra sense of luxury. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and you could relax really well.
The whole complex is fantastically beautiful and perfectly maintained. The pool area was fantastic, with enough sunbeds for all guests and a great ambience. The gardens and green spaces were also lovingly designed, creating a beautiful atmosphere.
The wellness offer is also particularly worth mentioning. The spa facilities are of the highest standard and invite you to relax – from massages to saunas and steam rooms, everything was just perfect.
The animation team was great: non-intrusive but always present and with great entertainment and activities.
Conclusion: Pickalbatros Blue Spa Resort is an absolute dream hotel and offers everything you could wish for an unforgettable holiday. We will definitely be back!

in the heart. The hotel is very interesting and beautiful (especially at night). The area is clean, everything is well maintained, the hotel staff will always help and tell you. The food in the restaurants is very tasty and varied; you can find dishes for every taste. There are a lot of vegetables and fruits on the menu. There is also a wide variety of desserts and sweets for children. I've been to all the restaurants on site and found my favorite. The staff who works in the restaurant are very friendly. The restaurant halls themselves are clean, dirty dishes are quickly removed and set up again. It was very nice that the food was quickly replenished and there were no empty plates. It’s very convenient that there is a separate children’s area with food (convenient for those who have children). The bars are also very cool and the bartenders are always happy to laugh and talk with you, tell you about their country. Check-in to the room happened very quickly. The rooms were cleaned, after each cleaning they made some figures on the beds, it was very nice. The most annoying thing is that the sound insulation is not very good, but this did not interfere with sleep. Every day there was different entertainment in the evening, both for children and adults, but sometimes I just didn’t get around to these entertainments. It is very convenient that there is a shopping center on site and a free bus that takes you to the beach. The beach is also equipped, there are sun loungers and a bar nearby. This hotel is suitable for both a family holiday and a group of friends. It’s very nice that this hotel treats you kindly and the staff knows different languages well. I also can’t help but note that there is a small water park on site. It’s very good that there are separate slides for children and adults. There are lifeguards on the slides and also those who control the descent from the slide. So it’s safe to swim, and they control that everything is according to the rules. In general, I would return to this hotel more than once. Also, surprisingly, if you are a Russian-speaking person, the staff can communicate in Russian, and the rooms also have a TV with Russian channels.

Firstly like to say both me and my partner had a fantastic time here. Staff from all 3 hotels will do anything to make sure you have a good stay. We mainly stayed at the pool by the White bar in Aqua Vista. Mohamed and the other guys there are fantastic, always bringing you drinks and asking how your day was. Even before we tipped them they were very attentive and hardworking. Rooms were very big, clean and lots of storage space with a reasonably sized balcony. Plenty of sunbeds around all the pools, usually put the towels out about 7:45 as I went gym (very high standard gym for a hotel, which provided water and towels) everyday and had no problem finding beds, so not having to get up at 6am to secure a decent bed…. The staff are constantly cleaning and this shows as on a whole the hotel is absolutely spotless from the pools to the rooms. However we did find there was a lot of birds in the eating areas waiting to scavenge on plates, and with this a lot of the chairs, tables and walls were covered in bird poop…
The food is pretty much the exact same in every hotel throughout the complex. We did however decide Aqua Vista was the best and the layout helped this too. We aren’t particularly picky but did struggle to make a meal some days at lunch and dinner. Moustafa on the omelette station was very friendly and always knew our order each morning. The location of the hotel isn’t the greatest, a few shops at the hotel that sell the same things at an inflated price. There is a couple of shops walking distance from the hotel but nothing special. We did go to the Mall which cost roughly £1.50 in a Uber there. But did struggle to get home as the taxis there all wanted 10x the price we paid to come here. We did feel pools and pool bars closing at 6 was too early, considering the sun was still up till gone 7.
All in all we did have a fantastic holiday and we will be back in the future.

Brilliant hotel with the best staff I have ever experienced. Everyone from reception, guest relations, bar staff, waiters, room attendants and the animation team were all very friendly, helpful, funny and made our holiday special. The food in all the buffet restaurants, a la cartes and snack bars was amazing, loads of choices and helpful chefs always willing to let you try the various dishes. The rooms are a good size, massive walk-in shower, we had a ground floor room, and were kept spotlessly clean by the room attendants. The animation team were always available for a chat and were never pushy to get you to take part in the numerous activities. The beach area across at the sister hotel, accessed via the shuttle bus that only takes 2 minutes, was lovely, great staff and spotlessly clean. You can eat and drink at the resorts 3 hotels and each one had great facilities and friendly staff. We booked the Aqua Blu because of the 5* reviews and were glad we did as every aspect of the reviews were very accurate. Brilliant stay and the only negative was our stay was only for 7 days, we would return in a heartbeat. We were sceptical about visiting Egypt but glad we did and we will definitely return, we will be taking our whole family as this resort is the best we have ever visited as across the resort there are things for everyone. Thank you Aqua Blu Resort and we hope to see you soon.

We have been to Egypt many times, but this time the quality of our holiday exceeded all expectations. I really liked the food, always fresh and tasty, a wide variety of dishes. The room was cleaned every day, towels, water and shower accessories were changed. I really liked the fact that the hotel has many swimming pools, sun loungers and various entertainment for any age, and you can always grab a cocktail and ice cream and have a fast food snack at any time. In general, I really liked the hotel, we will definitely come back!

Just came back from an amazing 11 nights at this hotel. So I'll start with a couple of negatives, (in my opinion). There is one little place to get a small tub of ice cream that is a long walk. This is the only place across all 3 hotels. By the time you walk back to your bed it's melted and it's only open during certain times. The wave pool is only on once or twice a day and is hardly a wave. Kids pirate pool and other slide pools close for a couple of hours during the day so abit disappointing if the kids are having a good time. Only 1 toaster in the restaurant for everyone to use and takes about 5 goes to get some colour on the bread. We mainly had omelette everyday with a pastry. They don't do beans mushrooms ect which ok we are in a different country so have to adapt. The alcohol is not great so would buy your own if you like a good tipple. Entertainment was on the dull side same sort of things most nights. Not alot going on during the day either.
Positives, All the staff are super friendly and are always happy, they will go above and beyond to get you anything. Our hotel taxi driver Hussain amazing. Always on time and had such a good laugh. The cleaner was also amazing, he made something new out of the towels everyday and my lad couldn't wait to go back to the room to see what was waiting. The pool party and foam party was good, worth going to that.
All in all had an amazing holiday,
To all the staff that work so hard, thank you!

We're resting here now, 3.01.25 arrived. The hotel does not pull to Albatross at all, the main pool with infinity bar is not heated, on the other pool some VIPs lie, we are not allowed there although at the reception said, other pools are all cold, guys it is not suitable for winter in the hotel on the second line!!! And where do we swim if it's not weather at sea!? There's also the Olympic Pool, but it pays $5 an hour and there are usually athletes there. I understand that there are Aqua Vista Hotels (yes, there's one big warm pool, but it stinks so bad it's impossible) or Aqua Park nearby, but it's no better with the pools. We were even briefed watching bloggers, everything was fine and came got a hotel for 3 stars. Breakfasts are normal, but lunch and dinner leave much to be desired, vegetables are not fresh, meat is dry or yesterday , it is not clear. do not compare with Albatros Beach on the first line (were here 2 years in a row , everyone was satisfied, I advise) . Started to save on everything you can, Alcoholic cocktails drink in Aqua Blue hotels do not recommend, because they are just terrible, ordered rosé wine, it turned out to be missing , drinks are not in a hurry to carry you either. At Beach Albatros beach is much better, the guy Mahmoud Mohammed ran all day and brought delicious cocktails, very polite and sympathetic, I will give him 5 stars!!! The German woman who solves the problems at Aqua Blue listened to what we're not happy about, then packed her bags and left, so here's the service. Room 6444 is very nice, clean and the view from the room is excellent, there is a downside: the pressure of cold water is terrible, it is impossible to wash in the shower, as the mixer is constantly glitching and the leukemia shuts off and has to be burned with hot water. Yesterday 30 minutes couldn't get into the room after the beach, we were given new keys but it turned out the problem was the battery in the lock. There are upsides too: coffee machines have appeared, there's a beach bar for us on the beach and a snack bar for lunch. The hotel grounds are nice clean but in places smell waste, there is a place to walk, there is a fitness club, you can study. I can't say anything about Animation yet. The beach on Albatros Beach is as high as ever, the sand is pleasant, the call is excellent and there is depth.

A week off in October. Looking ahead, everyone's happy, everything's been great. The hotel though on the second line, but to the sea on foot about 10min, who is lazy - you can take a bus, run frequently, can wait 15 minutes. Line 2 uses Beach Albatross Beach. The beach is big, long, plenty of room. Swimming from the turf was Beach, there's sand, the call is great. Then there's the pier, swimming at depth and you can see the fish. Ev beach has toilet, bar, you can have a snack, drinks. A great plus point of the hotel is that you can use everything on the premises of the sister hotels Vista and Aqua Park, including bars and restaurants. We constantly changed locations, choosing where we want to eat this time)) Absolutely nothing sat, moreover, not everyone tried what they wanted. Plenty of food for every taste. We were satisfied with the food. Special love Columbus Coffee House, good coffee selection, super. Have tried cocktails, opinion mixed) Wine for dinner, sometimes beer in the afternoon. It's fine. As for the plates. We had a regular room, a simple one, a view of the grounds, quite arranged, without breakdowns or adventures. Cleaning, replacing towels, replenishing all consumables, it's okay. There are many different swimming pools in the hotels, and Aqua Park has a very steep slide. Slides for adults and teenagers and toddlers, really enjoyed. Only got out of the hotel once and then on a tour, we were picked up and then returned to the hotel. The excursion was in Cairo a mini group, often met in reviews, and here they tried. A little more expensive, yes, but also a lot more convenient. There are few people, the guide fascinates everyone and devotes time to everyone, there are no rambling check-ins to delicate shops. We even made it to the hotel for dinner. Maybe someone could use the name of the samitour organizer, or camitoursom if via Instagram. Staff. Just warm words of gratitude. Everything is correct and respectful. Attention and care. Thank you for making your stay comfortable. We really enjoyed it. 5 out of 5. We recommend it!

Stayed here for 1 week in September. room was excellent, spacious and spotless. Cleaned everyday, stocked up with plenty of bottled water and toiletries, It was good that you had the choice of using facilities at 3 hotels all linked together. Pools very good. The lads waiting on around the pool worked really hard and were polite and respectful always. Entertainment poor, mainly kids disco and shows that basically was audience participation. The reception at Aqua Bu needs to improve vastly. Fantastic big well laid out area but uncomfortably hot, never any air con on! Reception staff need to be more friendly and welcoming, they were not very helpful and need to smile more! The waiters in the lobby bar were not very efficient. We always went to the Aqua Vista lobby bar which was far better organised and efficient and air con was always on! The food was very good, plenty of quality and choice far all. The Tagine restaurant in Aqua Blu - food very good - service was not great , waiters did not offer drinks and was a bit unorganised. We ate mainly in the Aqua Vista Seprano restaurant, where waiters were always on the ball, offering drinks etc. The a la carte restaurants were very good for food and service. All in all we had a great time, but if I was to return I would definitely stay at the Aqua Vista, you can still use facilities at all the others if so wish.
