Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort - Hurghada

Guests praise the impeccable cleanliness, top-notch housekeeping, and friendly, dedicated staff. The rooms offer amazing views, ample space, and excellent facilities, including multiple pools and a well-equipped gym.

We arrived from UK - 3 adults (one with special needs) and a girl of 15 years old. This is an honest review and our eighth time travelling to Egypt….. The service was excellent from beginning to the end of the holiday. The rooms were very nice, with quite modern decor and cleaned to a very high standard and the waiters were always there to make sure the drinks were always available. Special mentions to: The room cleaner Ahmed Hamed who was very thorough and always left a thoughtful message for us via a towelled animal. The restaurant waiters Taha, Walied Fathy and Arafat the waiter around the pool couldn’t be more happier to serve drinks and more importantly always did so with a smile. The drinks are not branded but they were still okay considering they were of local quality. The salon is very good for all your beauty needs. They will send their very nice sales team to the pool areas for you to pay for their services but you can barter with them so don’t be afraid to negotiate a deal. All of us had some treatments and it was really good. Mohammed - pedicures and barbering was excellent and very pleasant to chat with. Malek - facials and other Beauty treatments was very good and she was very good with our son who has learning difficulties. Gehan - performed 2 massages on me during my stay as my lower back went into spasm 2 days before travelling. I was very happy with her as I no longer have any issues with my back: Gehan was very professional and knowledgeable without me even telling her what I was struggling with, she located the issue and was able to help me . I would highly recommend her if you have a massage. Obviously with it being January there wasn’t a full cohort of staff but the staff that were there, were very good and attentive to our needs. The food was a little repetitive but it was still very nice and there was always something for us as a family of four, that we were able to enjoy every day. The weather is very nice during the day from around 9am until around 4pm but after 6pm I would make sure that you have a hoody or sweater and take a few extra layers if you plan on going out for the evening or entertainment. The entertainment around the daytime is very good; there’s always someone from the animation team that is trying to get you to participate in the daytime activities: Darts, Yoga, Water Aerobics, fitness classes and other sports. There’s a great gym, Olympic swimming pool and a cycling centre but I didn’t see it being used and wasn’t sure if it was fully open. The evening entertainment: The traditional mini disco is great for the kids and the animation team always tried to make it enjoyable but there’s only so much they can do with the budget and resources they had available, especially for the time of year but it was still ok and again aimed more towards the kids than the adults. The beach is approx 10 mins walk to the sister hotel or there’s a free shuttle bus that’s available every 30 minutes to ge

Wonderfull place for relax end enjoy with family. The staff is very very courteus and helpful. Special thank to Mohamed Reda, a special man! Well done to the Tagine manager. Room is perfect and always keep clear! I recommend doing all possible excursions such as quad biking, snookling etc. We come back home but we live a piece of heart here …….
