An excellent hotel, we have already rested 3 times, with infrastructure improving every year, good service, rooms are being slowly renovated and updated, which is very nice, a convenient beach for children, good animation, excellent food, the location of the hotel itself is very good, near the shopping center 5 minutes by taxi, it's only good to buy a map of Egypt and install the local taxi Drive application program, then you can take a taxi very cheaply, we always do this. In general, I highly recommend the hotel for rest, the quality is excellent.

We visited the hotel in October 24, we liked everything very much. Children 2 and 4 years old were delighted with the sea, (shallow, the entrance is gently sloping sandy, reefs with a small number of fish begin a little further away, 50 meters depth to buoys is a maximum of a meter, there is also a pontoon for swimming with a mask, a beautiful reef). The beach is clean. There is also a swimming pool, a water park, a game club with cool animators, dancing, etc. For children. The territory is large, but it is better to take rooms closer to the sea so as not to drag up and down. The territory is well-groomed, clean, pools and restaurants are evenly distributed, there is no crowd anywhere, although there are a lot of people. The food is quite tasty, fresh vegetables, meat, fish, chicken, pasta are always available, sometimes there are shrimp and salmon, kebabs. Each restaurant has a slightly different menu, although it is generally the same. The children ate pasta, rice with gravy, pizza, vegetables, French fries and nuggets normally.
Cons: tired rooms, crooked repairs (as usual in Egypt), bad luck with the cleaner in the second half of the holiday, poorly cleaned. The slope of the territory (it was a little hard with a stroller, but it depends on physical training here, we were normal).
The nearest Soho square with shops and restaurants can be reached by taxi, or you can walk (we walked for 20 minutes with a stroller on Yandex navigator)
I advise couples with children, you can have fun yourself and the children are not bored. It will probably be a little boring for young people.

The hotel is great, the beach is not very good, but there is a good sandy beach nearby in the neighboring hotel, the most important thing on the red sea is the underwater world, which is so amazing and rich, no excursions are needed, just beach holidays and diving, the hotel has everything you need very convenient with children. Just annoying constant begging, fucked up, I paid the money for the hotel and rest, why you just can't do your job, if the staff is not satisfied with the salary, then don't work...if I didn't give you a dollar, they make a cocktail with a sour face, if I didn't give you a dollar, there's no place for you in a restaurant with a sea view, if I didn't give you a dollar, they'll just make up your bed, if I didn't give you a dollar... And so on

We rested from May 08 to May 18. Two adults and a child. I really liked the hotel. Good food, entertainment, a large aqua park, a children's pool with various slides. The child was satisfied, the evening shows. Staff at bars and on the beach. In the restaurant, I want to mention the bartender Ahmed. Always polite, with a smile and a good mood. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. The only downside is the low tide, but we went to the beach at nearby Albatross Beach. We were satisfied with the rest.

I really liked the restaurants that need to be booked. The waiters are trying their best, the dishes are beautifully served, satisfying. There is fine sand on the beach (if you walk along the pier), the reefs are small, there are fish, but not many, but there is a place to swim with a mask, the perimeter is fenced in the water with a net. The staff is polite. Hygiene products are scarce for the 5th, they did not put a paste with a brush and slippers, but they asked and gave us. The staff solves all issues in a customer-oriented manner. There is no market nearby, there are several overpriced shops. But there is a chic pharmacy with fixed prices and a good assortment. But the ATM, which changes to Egyptian pounds, does not work at the hotel, I had to buy it for dollars at an unfavorable exchange rate. The animation is great. Overall very good.

We had a family vacation in September from 6 to 15. The weather is beautiful. The sea is like fresh milk. The impressions are the most positive.
The hotel has a very large territory. Two residential buildings are connected with reception aisles, which is very convenient. There is a very large swimming pool with a bar on the territory. The only thing is that the pool is shallow. Clean it regularly and thoroughly.
The hotel has its own pier. For those who are not confident in their swimming abilities, there are life jackets. Rescuers are on duty all the time.
There is a coral reef near the pier. It is very interesting to watch the fish, and even children can do this at low tide, since a small reef is located right next to the pier. Well, those who swim well will definitely need to take a mask on a trip.
There are enough sun beds for everyone on the beach.
By the way, hotel guests can swim and sunbathe on the beach of the neighboring hotel. It's more comfortable there with small children, but there are more people.
The rooms are clean, well maintained, and comfortable.
They clean well. The staff is very friendly.
Everything is fine on nutrition too. In addition to the buffet restaurant, there are several a la carte restaurants. But personally, I prefer the buffet. They cook very well. Respect to the chef. There's just nothing to find fault with.
Many thanks to the hotel staff for their work and hard work.
I advise you to visit.

We rested twice, in December and in June! The hotel is great for families with children and for hanging out with friends. Always perfect cleanliness, excellent service, chic coffee cocktails in the Columbus bar) it is convenient that the water park is in a nearby hotel, and the silence on the territory and entertainment nearby. I definitely recommend visiting ala-kart restaurants!

Excellent hotel, quite a variety of food and meat and seafood. Nice rooms, clean. The pools are just fire, for two gels there was no situation to get stuffed like herring in a barrel. There are evening programs. A 2-minute walk to the water park, in a hotel of the same chain, with free admission. There's a little trouble with the sea at low tide. It's shallow and not pretty. But you can use the beach of the neighboring hotel, 5 minutes on foot.

We had a rest at the end of December 2023, everything is wonderful, delicious food, decent room cleaning, unobtrusive animation, a good beach. For the kid, there is a children's menu and a children's cafe in the main restaurant, a swimming pool with children's slides. There is a desire to return to the hotel. The attitude of the staff is friendly.

A wonderful 5* hotel in Hurghada, on the shores of one of the best seas in the World - the Red Sea! The service is excellent, the food is very diverse and delicious, the territory is just fire, and I have simply never met such huge pools and an aquapark on an accessible territory. We were satisfied with everything!

I liked the hotel, I boldly recommend it. Interesting animation, not hackneyed. The food is not very diverse, but of acceptable quality. Attentive and friendly staff will help solve all your problems. There are Russian-speaking girls at the reception, at the spa and in the animation group.
There are a lot of Germans, but they are polite. And the Egyptians are generally very happy with us. We were in September 2023. The weather was gorgeous. Another plus, if you want to go to the islands, the yachts depart directly from the berths of the hotel, that is, no transfer is needed.
Again, the convenient location of the hotel from the airport. We flew by Aeroflot, and we ordered a transfer there in the application. Convenient, cheap and individual.
To summarize: we have not been to Egypt for 10 years and were very pleased this year, including with the service.

We have just returned from vacation, so I would like to share my feedback in hot pursuit. We have been vacationing with a child for 4 years, so the review is aimed at families with children.
Of the advantages:
-large pool area, there are always free sun beds
- delicious breakfasts, I recommend going to the 3rd floor, there are a lot fewer people there and the view is beautiful
- good playground and water park area (we didn't go to the kids club)
-availability of ice cream in the afternoon and popcorn and cotton candy in the evenings
Now to the cons:
- this food is the most important for me, in fact there is no children's menu. There are only 4 children's tables and 6 dishes in the children's area - 2 of which are soup (too salty, had to be diluted with water). The rest are pasta, vegetables, and some meat dishes, often from an adult table. There are no curds / purees for small children, that is, I do not know what I would feed a child 1.5-2 years old. Almost all the children ate only French fries, because there is nothing else
- in general, I did not like the dinners, all the food is special, lunches are from 12.30, but sometimes there is still little food at one o'clock. There were no salads for lunch, only chopped vegetables, but a lot of dishes in batter and overcooked. For dinner, the situation is almost the same, my stomach felt bad in the evening.
- the beach, the tide was constantly out and we went to the next one
- alcoholic cocktails that are very tasteless, either the alcohol is not very local, or the proportions are not the same
- there are sooo many Arabs coming on weekends, and you can't extend the room because of this, if the check-out falls on you
And so, all the staff is very friendly, I did not notice any bad attitude towards Russians. If it wasn't for the food, I would have put 5

A great hotel for a family holiday. The only drawback is the weak children's animation. It seems that it is possible to do better. Food, beach, sun beds, variety of restaurants, cleanliness by 5 points

I didn't like the hotel at all. I don't understand the rave reviews. The territory is small and there are only buildings. There is no greenery at all!!!! No flowers, no palms, no cacti. There is nowhere to walk and take pictures. There are only stairs and white buildings.
There is also no reef, 2 meters to the right and 2 meters to the left are fenced off from the pier and it is impossible to swim further. And there are only people in this legushatnik - there are no fish at all! Even surgeons, of whom there are usually millions floating everywhere. In general, you will not see the beauty of the red sea, reefs, and fish here, do not wait. I trusted the reviews and here is a complete disappointment. Last year I was in another hotel, there was a fairy tale, I was waiting for at least something similar, but alas. The money, and the ticket cost me 470 thousand, was just thrown away.
The food is inconveniently organized, there are many restaurants, but there is little food in them. And running around checking everything that is given in each is unrealistic.
For me, these are the main criteria for recreation and they all do not pull one star. Thanks for the ruined vacation.

They were from 01 to 12 July 2024. It was hot, of course, but we were satisfied. The service is excellent. Constantly entertaining program. Meals, almost around the clock. The assortment in the food. Drinks at every turn. I can't take my eyes off the sea. A huge swimming pool for the entire territory, a children's water park on the territory and the possibility of using the large water park of the neighboring hotel

The hotel is gorgeous, the staff will roll a crocodile out of towels for $ 1 and bring you additional drinks! There is no water park in the hotel itself, there is a passage through the neighboring hotel (also an Albatross) you can use everything for free, except drinks and food. You can eat from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. There are more than 10 restaurants and bars. Some restaurants need to be booked in advance and they do not have a Swedish line, but take out dishes on the menu. And everywhere is very tasty and huge portions! There is an entertainment program every evening. It takes 7 hours to get to the pyramids to Cairo.

I visited this hotel for the second time (the first time in 2013). The hotel has only gotten better over the years. Delicious and varied food, several restaurants to choose from, a bar inside the pool, a beautiful territory, the possibility of access to a nearby hotel with an aquapark.

We arrived from a trip just 2 days ago, I sat down to write a review.
We visited this hotel 1 time earlier. We decided to visit again and were left completely horrified. The hotel has gone bad!
Disadvantages of the hotel:
The food is terrible and monotonous. We didn't get off the toilet during the whole vacation.
Alcohol is terrible. They don't know how to make cocktails, from the word at all.
Cleaning the room - make the bed, it's not cleaning)) therefore, the cleaning is terrible. Everything is covered in dust and dirt.
The rooms are not of the first freshness, it is not clear what kind of restoration was discussed.
Service - to put it mildly, the Russians were off, there was no hot water in the room, slightly warm, and cold. The lights were periodically turned off throughout the hotel, they knocked out traffic jams ... of course, the air conditioner did not work at + 40.
The guide at the hotel is a separate story, when he met about the hotels, he told only 1%, the rest of the time he tried to sell excursions, when he realized that we were not going anywhere, we abruptly became uninteresting to him and he did not want to contact us)))
The 5* hotel does not provide: slippers and bathrobes, as well as a set of toothbrushes and toothpaste, gel, soap.
What kind of 5 stars are these..)))
We were not satisfied with the vacation, we were really waiting for the return and the end. The hotel has deteriorated beyond recognition.
I had a bad impression of Egypt in general.
Pros: THERE ARE NONE)

The Albatross Palace Hotel has a large territory, many swimming pools, the first coastline. Entering the sea from the pier, the sea is gorgeous, clean, there is no need for a caral at the bottom of the sand, there is a reef with carals, I advise you to take snorkeling masks with you, a huge variety of fish, moray eels, stingrays. The swimming area in the sea is fenced with nets from sharks to the very bottom, swimming with a mask can be seen how the nets are installed. Rescuers are on duty at the pier. There are tides and tides are not critical, does not interfere with swimming. Entering the sea from the pier is suitable for tourists with young children from 2 years old because a child can sit in the water up to his chest on the sandy bottom. The territory of the hotel and the beach is cleaned daily, the sand on the beach is leveled. On the beach, sun loungers and double "bungalows" are free of charge. I advise for a family holiday with children. Animation is active, evening performances. There is an opportunity to use the territory of the neighboring Albatross Beach 4* beach and water park for free. The bathrooms in the rooms are already slightly outdated, but this is not critical because with such a sea there is no time to sit in the room. The hotel has a sufficient number of bars and restaurants, fish and shrimp lovers really liked the fish restaurant, you can go at least every day without prior reservation. Basically, the restaurant has almost everything, but without frills (shrimp, various fish, beef, veal, turkey). We were pleased with soups for lunch, or rather meat broths. The fruits are standard seasonal, in September they gave ripe figs.

I didn't like it. The food is monotonous, the staff is 50/50, they do not clean very well, there are 2 towels and 2 single beds, they asked for a bed 3 times until the child fell at night and cut his chin, the bed was not brought.
Animator EUGENE is a separate topic, politically negatively treats Russians, shod us for $ 12, the barker sold lottery tickets, we initially warned that we might not make it, because we had an excursion, he claimed that if we won, they would bring gifts to our room, but as it turned out, if you are not present, they pull out another number..in short, the sediment remained.
Even newans, everyone who swam in the pool caught an upset stomach. The approaches to the sea are terrible, the beach is disgusting. In general, we will not go a second time, it is 100%

a great hotel, for your money for two, it cost 134 rubles. for 10 days.we had a rest in January 2024. normal food, normal local alcohol is definitely better than the Turkish local. excellent staff service , you can 't find fault with anything . great rooms. there is a lot of space, the beach is comfortable and large , the only disadvantage is that the heated pool is only waist-deep, just a kick-ass. nearby, the albatross is cheaper, but their pool is normal. in the evening, the program is normal , not with KVN by vacationers , but with artists . It 's also bad that alcohol is only available until one o'clock in the morning . but a late dinner at 23:00 is good, different pits are excellent. in general, you can still come to this hotel if the prices remain the same.

It was a great hotel. We arrived after 10 years for the second time. Not the same Albatross anymore. The reef is completely dead, at low tide you can see mud in the place of corals. The guests are 99 Germans. Accordingly, everything is smoked through, and the animation is for them. We went to the end of October in the pool the water temperature is 22 degrees C (pools without heating). The water in the sea is already 27. The advantages are good food and clean rooms.

A wonderful hotel, vacationing with a friend from December 6 to December 14, 2023. I liked everything very much, next time I will choose this hotel. We arrived at 13 o'clock, offered, registered and were offered lunch. We were checked in right after lunch. It was before 2 o'clock. I liked the hotel right from the first minute. Wonderful people work at the reception, who always help as soon as help is needed. It doesn't matter if you're Russian or German or Polish. The attitude towards everyone is excellent. Maybe we were so lucky, but during the vacation I did not meet any sideways glances or any ill will. About food, I can say that I liked everything I took, there is always a choice. Lots of fruits, natural juices, pastries are very tasty. There is a Russian-speaking manager Alexandra next to the reception. I especially thank her for her help in any matter. I always solved all questions and wishes quickly and efficiently. We visited 3 restaurants by appointment and were pleasantly surprised. Seafood, fish, Moroccan cuisine are all very decent. For the first time in Egypt, I did not want to have no desire to go back to winter. Everything in the hotel is designed for comfort. I would also like to mention the animation, the animators are great guys, cool all without exception. The sea is amazing, there are corals and beautiful fish and a stingray lives to the left of the pier. I would like to return to this hotel again. I recommend.

The hotel is now 03/22/24 with a 3-year-old daughter, the weather is windy, it's cold at +23 in the afternoon, many people do not take off their hoodies in the afternoon
Planes fly over the hotel, every 10 minutes during daylight hours, rarely at night, I practically do not hear
We sunbathe in the sun, swim in the Jacuzzi (the warmest pool, the first from the sea) Take shirts, do not neglect light tracksuits, +23 chilly
The staff at 5: responsive, attentive. There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception and in restaurants the staff understands Russian
Fresh orange for breakfast, ice cream is also available at the barbecue restaurant by the beaches from 12.30
Pools and the sea until 17 o'clock, the sun a little longer
There is a children's pool with slides, a children's room, a playground, 4 children's tables in the restaurant on the 0 floor. The chairs do not fit the tables, it is uncomfortable for the child to sit.
No: champagne, iron in the room (available on request), bathrobes and slippers, baileys, sound insulation in the room (neither from the balcony nor from the corridor: suitcase delivery at night, including)
A lot of big screens, football matches broadcast on the 1st floor
Cozy coffee bar with delicious coffee
Great neighborhood in Albatross Beach: you can use their infrastructure: aqua park
A decent option: the territory is medium-sized, green, well-groomed.
The animation is active, the guys are funny. But! Disco until 22.30 h (23.30 h Moscow time), loud, keep in mind if you planned to fall asleep before 22h

Great hotel. The food is delicious and varied. There were no big problems with the reception. They didn't immediately give out a room, they wanted to send it to another hotel for a couple of days, since they don't have big overlays. But with a small child, it is not very convenient to travel to hotels. We turned to the guide Mohamed, and he solved this issue. They offered rooms to choose from and eventually moved in. Otherwise, the rest was wonderful.

We liked the hotel! Service, rooms, cleanliness, kitchen, alcohol - all for 5! The only disadvantage is the lack of a normal opportunity to swim in the sea without a pontoon. And a very poor reef. Heated swimming pool, sun beds - everything is comfortable! Even in the windy season, the hotel is warm and practically windless. I recommend it!
