02Overview
A first look
Located in Hurghada, Pickalbatros Palace Resort provides direct access to Red Sea beaches and the local marina. We arrange HRG airport transfers and private water excursions to nearby reefs and Giftun Island.
Background
The facts
Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada is a hotel stay on Sahl Hashish Road in Hurghada’s southern Red Sea resort corridor. The property is positioned for beach holidays rather than city-center sightseeing, with direct access to the coast and a layout built around rooms, pools, dining venues, and leisure facilities.
Hurghada is a major Red Sea destination on Egypt’s eastern coastline, known for snorkeling, diving, and year-round resort stays. From the city’s airport and central districts, the southern resort strip along Sahl Hashish Road is used by large beachfront hotels and family resorts that prioritize on-site amenities and sea access.
The hotel offers hard all inclusive board, which typically means meals, snacks, and selected beverages are served on property according to the hotel’s own schedule and conditions. Room categories include standard rooms, sea-view rooms, garden-view rooms, and larger suites, many with balconies. In this part of Hurghada, sea-view rooms are often preferred for open Red Sea views and sunset light in the late afternoon.
As a resort-style property, the guest experience is centered on swimming pools, beach time, spa facilities, a fitness center, and dining convenience. This makes it suitable for travelers who want a self-contained stay with limited need to leave the resort each day.

Accessibility
Who can join this
The property is on gently sloping grounds with paved paths between the lobby, pools and beach, but guests should expect sand and uneven surfaces at the shoreline and on the private beach. There are steps at some pool edges and at certain beach access points; not all pool entries have ramps. Public areas and most guest-room blocks have elevators, though a few garden-level bungalows are single-storey with small steps. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are limited; please request an accessible room when booking so we can confirm availability and layout. If you require a ramped beach mat, pool hoist, or a roll-in shower, contact us at booking so we can check supplier capability in advance. Our drivers and front-desk staff will assist with luggage at arrival and departure, but internal mobility over sand and soft surfaces can be difficult for manual wheelchair users.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Children of all ages are welcome, though the hotel’s standard policy requires the lead guest to be at least 18 years old at check-in. Child rates, extra-bed fees and cot availability vary by room type and season; many rooms accept one child on an existing bed free of charge, while rollaway beds and cribs are available on request for a supplement. Strollers are practical around paved areas and the lobby, but soft sand on the beach limits manoeuvrability; high chairs and child menus are commonly provided in the hotel restaurants, please request these in advance.
Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.
– Responsible travel
How we travel here
Guests normally arrive to Hurghada by road transfer or taxi; when we arrange transfers we use air-conditioned minibuses with seat belts and drivers contracted locally. The hotel operates its own on-site services, and we work with them to encourage measured water use and linen-replacement programmes; where available the hotel uses low-flow bathroom fittings and energy-efficient lighting in public areas. Dining outlets source some fresh produce from suppliers in the Red Sea governorate rather than importing everything from Cairo, which supports local farmers and markets. The hotel employs staff from Hurghada and nearby towns; we monitor employment practices and invite our hotel partners to report on waste-separation and recycling progress. If you have specific sustainability priorities, tell us before you travel and we will request supplier documentation or suggest nearby alternatives with stronger verified policies.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01Is breakfast included with my Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada booking?
Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate you booked (room-only, bed-and-breakfast or half-board). Your booking confirmation will state the meal basis; if it’s unclear, send us your voucher and we will confirm. We can request meal-plan upgrades before arrival subject to hotel availability and supplement charges.02What are the check-in and check-out times at Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada?
Check-in and check-out times are set by the hotel; your confirmation lists the exact times. Typical hotel practice in Hurghada is 14:00 check-in and 12:00 check-out, but this is not universal. Early check-in or late check-out can be requested; the hotel confirms these on availability and may levy a charge.03How long is the transfer from Hurghada International Airport to the hotel?
Transfer time from Hurghada International Airport varies by traffic and the hotel’s exact location; we need your flight details to give a quote. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private transfers and meet-and-greet services on request. Provide your flight number and arrival time and we will offer a fixed-price private transfer or recommend shared-transfer options.04Can you arrange airport transfers, excursions and scuba/snorkel trips for guests?
Yes – we can arrange airport transfers, Red Sea excursions and dive/snorkel trips for Pickalbatros Palace Resort guests. Dive centre availability, boat schedules and certification requirements vary; we will confirm options, prices and any minimum-participant rules. Unlike many package holidays, we time excursions around your flight and hotel arrival when you book through us.05Is Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada suitable for families with children?
Family suitability depends on room type and the facilities you require (extra beds, interconnecting rooms). Tell us children’s ages and preferred room arrangement and we will request child-bedding or interconnecting rooms from the hotel. Some family facilities are seasonal or limited in number; we will confirm availability and any supplements before you finalise the booking.06Does the hotel have beach access and good snorkelling from the shore?
Beach access and shore snorkelling vary between Hurghada hotels; check your booking confirmation for private beach or jetty details. Hurghada is on the Red Sea with nearby coral reefs, but not every resort has direct house-reef access. If snorkelling is a priority, we will confirm the nearest reef, boat options, equipment hire and any extra costs.
