02Overview

A first look

Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada lies on Hurghada's Red Sea shoreline. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and handle bookings, transfers and local support for stays at this resort.

Background

The facts

Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada is a four-star hotel on Safaga Road in Hurghada, Egypt. The room rate is offered on a Hard All Inclusive basis, with buffet meals and selected drinks governed by the hotel’s policy. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges reservations and room confirmations; the hotel owns and operates the property.

The hotel is in Hurghada’s southern resort corridor on the western shore of the Red Sea. Safaga Road links the resort area with the city, while central services, marinas and shopping areas are reached by road.

Hurghada is a coastal city in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. The hotel is in a resort setting rather than a city-centre location.

The hotel has outdoor pools, private beach access, restaurants, bars, a spa, a fitness centre, Wi-Fi, parking and family-room options. Spa treatments and wellness packages are optional charges.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • This resort suits couples, families with school-age children and small groups who want a pool-and-beach stay rather than a base in central Hurghada. It is a practical choice for travellers happy to arrange a taxi or private transfer for trips into the city.

Maybe not, if

  • Choose a central Hurghada hotel instead if you want to walk to city attractions and dining. The resort is also less convenient for guests who need confirmed step-free access throughout the property.

What lingers

  • 01Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada on Hurghada's Red Sea coast; base for snorkelling and diving excursions.
  • 02Transfers to Hurghada International Airport typically take 20–30 minutes by private car, subject to traffic.
  • 03On-site waterpark and multiple pools; contact us to confirm current opening hours and age restrictions.
  • 04Family rooms and children's programmes are offered; we can arrange babysitting and baby equipment on request.
  • 05We book organised day trips: Giftun Island boat trips, local diving centres, and Red Sea snorkel charters.
  • 06Unlike quayside sellers, we pre-book morning Giftun trips to avoid midday crowds and rushed itineraries.

Honest assessment

The honest pluses and minuses, as our own team sees them after running this trip.

Worth knowing

    Tailor it

    Make it yours

    Room types and confirmations are arranged by our team, subject to availability. Airport transfers and city tours can be booked separately, while spa treatments, wellness packages and specialty dining are optional paid extras.

    Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.

    Where it fits

    Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada works as a seaside stay before or after time in central Hurghada, or as a base for a longer Red Sea holiday. Safaga Road is more resort-oriented than the city centre, so allow for a drive when visiting central sights.

    Accessibility

    Who can join this

    The resort has paved ramps and level paths between the lobby, pool terraces and some ground-floor rooms. Elevators serve the main accommodation blocks, but garden paths may be narrow and some routes include uneven paving or short steps. Access to the private beach crosses soft sand, so wheelchair users may need assistance. Pool entry is by steps; no pool lift is confirmed. Outdoor surfaces can become hot and slippery when wet. If you need a ground-floor room, a roll-in shower or help with luggage, contact us before arrival so we can ask the hotel to confirm what is available. Please note that access arrangements can vary by room and area.

    Before you go

    What to pack & wear

    Children & families

    Infants under 2 usually stay free when sharing existing bedding; a cot can be requested, subject to availability and hotel confirmation. Children aged 2 to 11 may qualify for a child rate, depending on room type and bedding. Guests aged 12 and over are usually priced as adults. Family and interconnecting rooms can be requested but are not guaranteed until confirmed. Strollers work on many paved resort paths, though soft sand may require help. High chairs and babysitting may be available on request, potentially for an extra charge. Confirm current terms before booking; no minimum stay age has been supplied.

    These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.

    – Responsible travel

    How we travel here

    The hotel employs staff from the Hurghada area and reports buying some fresh produce and seafood from nearby suppliers. This can direct part of guests’ spending to local businesses, although a full supplier list has not been provided. Guests can take part in the hotel’s towel and linen reuse programme by reusing towels and notifying housekeeping. The property reports LED lighting in many public areas and low-flow bathroom fittings. It also reports a beach-cleaning initiative with local community groups; ask the front desk for current dates and participation details. We have not been given independent environmental certification or figures for energy, water use or waste, so we cannot verify the scale of these measures.

      The hotel operates children's facilities, typically including a supervised kids' club and waterpark elements. Opening hours, age ranges, supervision levels and slide height limits change seasonally and for safety reasons, and some attractions may carry extra charges. We will check current facilities and any age or height restrictions for your travel dates before you book.
    6. 06What time can you check in and check out at Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada?
      Standard policy is usually check-in from 14:00 and check-out by 12:00, but hotels sometimes vary. If you need an early check-in or late check-out we will request room availability or reserve an extra night on your behalf. We confirm the official times on your booking voucher so you have them in writing.
    7. 07Can we arrange diving and snorkelling trips from Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort?
      We can arrange snorkelling and diving trips from the resort into the Red Sea through local dive centres. Options include guided house-reef snorkels, half-day boat trips and equipment hire; certification courses are available from licensed local centres. Tell us your experience level and preferred dates so we can propose appropriate trips, prices and transfer times.
