A first look

Background

The facts

Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada is a five-star hotel on Sahl Hashish Road in Hurghada’s southern resort corridor. It is a beach-focused property on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, with accommodation and leisure facilities centred on the hotel grounds.

Hurghada is a coastal city on Egypt’s eastern shoreline. The resort is positioned for beach stays rather than city-centre sightseeing.

The hotel offers Hard All Inclusive board, with meals and selected drinks subject to the hotel’s own schedule and conditions. Room categories include standard, sea-view and garden-view rooms, as well as larger suites; many have balconies. Facilities include restaurants, bars, outdoor pools, a children’s pool area, direct beach access, a spa and a gym.

Airport transfers, spa treatments, local taxes, premium drinks, speciality dining, tips and personal expenses are not included.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • This resort suits couples, families and solo travellers, especially adults aged 25 to 65 who want a Red Sea beach stay with dining and leisure facilities on site. Choose it if you value pools, a private beach and balcony room options more than a small hotel in central Hurghada.

Maybe not, if

  • It may not suit travellers who want a small, personalised city-centre hotel or plan to spend most days exploring outside the resort. Check the building layout and step-free routes if you have reduced mobility, as access can vary.

What lingers

  • 01Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada located in Hurghada; immediate access to Red Sea snorkelling and diving sites.
  • 02Multiple on-site pools and private beach areas; midday shade limited, bring sun protection.
  • 03Resort offers family rooms and children's club; expect higher occupancy during school holidays.
  • 04Local dive centres run daily boat trips to Giftun Island reefs; book early for preferred slots.
  • 05We arrange private airport transfers rather than large coach pickups; typical transfer 20–40 minutes.

Honest assessment

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

Most hotel rates distinguish between meal plans and optional extras. Here, Hard All Inclusive is listed, while premium drinks, speciality dining and spa treatments may cost extra.

      Tailor it

      Make it yours

      You can choose between room options such as sea-view or garden-view rooms, subject to availability, and ask about suite configurations. Airport transfers are not included in the stated rate but may be arranged separately; confirm room bedding, balcony preferences and any dietary needs before booking.

      Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.

      Where it fits

      Use the resort as a Red Sea stay before or after a Cairo visit, or as a beach break after sightseeing in Luxor. It suits travellers who want resort facilities rather than a central Hurghada base.

      Accessibility

      Who can join this

      The resort is described as having gently sloping grounds and paved paths between the lobby, pools and beach. Sand and uneven ground at the shoreline can make moving around the beach difficult, particularly in a manual wheelchair. Some pool edges and beach access points have steps, and not every pool has a ramp. Elevators serve public areas and most guest-room blocks, but some garden-level bungalows may have small steps. Accessible rooms are limited, so ask us to check the room layout and availability before booking. If you need a roll-in shower, pool hoist or beach access mat, please enquire in advance so we can confirm what the hotel can provide.

      Before you go

      What to pack & wear

      Children & families

      Children are welcome, and the lead guest must be at least 18 at check-in under the stated hotel policy. Child rates, extra beds and cots depend on room type and travel dates, so confirm the arrangement before booking. Strollers can be used around the lobby and paved areas, but soft beach sand is difficult to cross with a pushchair. High chairs and children’s menus are commonly available in hotel restaurants; request them in advance, as availability can vary.

      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 operates its own accommodation, dining and leisure facilities. We do not have verified, property-specific data on its energy use, water consumption, waste handling or supplier policies, so we cannot make a measured environmental claim. Guests travelling to Hurghada generally reach the resort by road. If we arrange a transfer, we use a locally contracted, air-conditioned vehicle with seat belts; the vehicle type depends on the booking. The hotel employs staff in Hurghada and the surrounding area, although we cannot confirm local employment figures or the share of food sourced nearby. Ask us before booking if you need current information on the hotel’s water, linen or recycling practices.

      Asked & answered

      Frequent questions

      1. 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.
      2. 02What time can guests check in and check out 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.
      3. 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.
      4. 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.
      5. 05Is Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada a good choice 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.
      6. 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.

      Mercure Hurghada (All Inclusive)

      Mercure Hurghada is an all-inclusive hotel on Hurghada's Red Sea coast offering meals, selected drinks and on-site leisure facilities. Meals and selected drinks are included in the published all-inclusive rate. We recommend Mercure Hurghada when clients want straightforward beach time rather than a touring base; we do not position it as a starting point for multi-day archaeological travel. We arrange private transfers from Hurghada International Airport and snorkelling excursions on the Red Sea. Note: all-inclusive pricing reduces local dining choices, and evenings at the hotel can be lively – request a room away from the entertainment area if you prefer quiet.

As a licensed Egyptian tour operator we handle room bookings, private airport transfers and guided snorkelling excursions; we do not operate coach-group packages. Unlike Hurghada city-centre hotels, Sahl Hasheesh has a planned promenade and generally quieter evenings. The resort is best for sea-focused holidays and families; expect limited nightlife and occasional seasonal closures of some facilities.

      Pickalbatros White Beach Resort is a Hurghada hotel on the Red Sea, bookable through our licensed Egyptian tour operator. We sell this property as a straightforward beach option rather than a bundled Nile-and-beach package; many clients prefer to add a separate Nile stay so each part of Egypt gets proper time. We include private airport transfers and can add diving or snorkelling excursions on request. Expect busy periods in July–August and limited shade on the shoreline at midday; we recommend early-morning snorkel trips and an early check-in when possible. Rates, room types and transfer times are confirmed at booking.
