Pickalbatros Aqua Vista Resort Hurghada

Me, my Wife and our two 16 year old boys had the most wonderful stay at the Pickalbatros aqua vista resort. Every member of staff were so friendly and accommodating and always had a smile on their face. They always had time to stop and chat and ask how we were and had some great friendly banter. We didn’t arrive at the resort until 1am and the staff in the kitchen made us sandwiches even though the restaurants were all closed. We were kindly given a room upgrade on arrival and it was so much better than we could have expected, the room was spacious and spotless and the boys had their own space with their own balcony. The food was absolutely fabulous with something g for everyone and the visit to the a la carte restaurant was amazing. There are so many swimming pools and sun beds you could always find somewhere to relax and chill out. The water park was great fun. The adult only area was really great just to have time to ourselves, although the boys often went and did their own thing. The daytime and evening entertainment was goo and you could get involved with as little or as much as you wanted to, I did aqua aerobics a couple of times. Me and my family had the most wonderful time and made to feel very special by all the staff. My only criticism would be the amount of times people were coming round trying to sell the spa and the trips, I understand that is their job but it did become a little annoying when you were trying to relax. This was our first visit to Egypt and without any doubt we will come back to this resort.

First of all, I think the service attitude at this hotel is actually quite good. Sometimes you might feel overlooked, but that could be because there are simply too many guests. The buffet restaurants are all fairly nice — not bad at all — and the bar is also decent, though many types of drinks were unavailable. However, its location is truly excellent. By booking a room at any of the Albatross Group’s hotels, you can enjoy all of the group’s services, bars, and restaurants. If you want to go to the beach, simply take the shuttle bus — free lifeguards and life jackets are provided.

The staff are amazing, the resort is super clean with plenty of pools and things to do. Food and restaurants are wonderful with a good variety. The evening entertainment could be improved, along with a more extensive cocktail menu, and the ice cream bar needs to open way earlier (7pm to 11) is not great when you need to cool down in the 36 degrees heat. I'll definitely visit again.
