Reviews
The buffet restaurant is the best dining option, with fresh food and good variety. Other restaurants were disappointing: the beach club had hygiene issues (birds around the food, oil everywhere), and the à la carte restaurants (Italian and Buddha Bar) were below expectations ! average quality, tough meat, and very basic sushi.
The resort has great sports facilities: paddle and tennis courts are a big plus. However, the tennis court needs maintenance, and the volleyball court is poorly lit at night, making it difficult to play after sunset.
Pools are heated in December, which is perfect for kids. The kids’ club is also a big advantage, open from 10 AM to 5 PM, giving parents some time to relax or explore.
Entertainment overall is limited, and the resort can feel a bit quiet compared to larger resorts with more shows and activities.
Summary:
Good facilities, friendly staff, and a family-friendly setup, but food quality, entertainment, and some maintenance aspects need improvement. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement
At the pool, it was noticeable that tipping played an important role. After we did not give a tip immediately to one of the waiters, we were ignored, while people lying right next to us were still being asked for drinks. Sunbeds at the pool officially could not be reserved, but in practice this was possible if you gave money to the lifeguards, who then placed towels for you.
As enthusiastic snorkelers, we were disappointed: there was almost nothing to see, and you had to stay within a small, restricted area. At the aquapark there were no sunbeds available, so if one family member wanted to use the slides, the other had to wait on a chair until they were finished.
Basic politeness was lacking, as very few staff members said good morning, please, or thank you. We have stayed in cheaper hotels where we felt more valued as guest.
Room was very clean, bed is comfortable, overall the whole hotel is well looked after, clean and modern. Plenty of activities for the whole family. We will come back again.
Food wise the buffet is same-ish every day however the pancakes and pizza at the beach are lovely, the golden Buddha restaurant was amazing and on par with places I’ve eaten in London.
Everywhere is so so clean and tidy. Resort has everything you would need.
I’ve wanted a relaxing holiday but if you want a more active there’s so much to do.
I will be 100% come back next year.
From the beginning, the staff was extremely kind and friendly. They helped us in every possible way, truly honest, warm, and trustworthy people.
The hotel itself was beautiful and very spacious, with more than six swimming pools and several bars available. The cleanliness at the hotel was excellent, the rooms were cleaned daily with great care, and all the facilities were always tidy and well-maintained.
The water activities were so much fun and added a lot to our experience.
We genuinely enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend it for a few extra days. Highly recommended!
Even basic equipment is lacking. I had to ask five times just to get a ball to play with in the pool, and I still haven’t received one.
On top of that, the food is almost the same every single day. There’s barely any variety, and after a couple of meals, it all starts to feel repetitive and uninspiring.
Honestly, I’m really disappointed. Yes, the hotel is clean and spacious, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. There’s nothing to do, and boredom sets in quickly. It’s frustrating to be in such a nice setting yet feel like you’re just waiting for time to pass. I expected a lively, well-organized experience — instead, it feels like the hotel has completely given up on providing anything fun or engaging.
Food was average, but there was a variety of
options, so you can always find something good to eat.
Pools were lovely and the night entertainment parties were really fun.
Day time activities were also fun
The place was very clean and the greenery is well maintained and lovely.
The only negative point would be the poir quality of the internet but if you plan to disconnect and unwind, this won't be a problem :)
We really had a very nice few days. Thank you
Everything was beyond expectations — the food was delicious and varied, the cleanliness was spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The facilities and activities were top-notch — you honestly don’t even need to leave the hotel to enjoy your holiday. The animation team kept the vibes high all day, and the kids’ shows and activities were absolutely amazing.
We never felt bored for a second. Can’t wait to come back again — it truly felt like a dream vacation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The team went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. They promptly facilitated a room change that perfectly met my expectations, and the noticeable improvement in food quality was truly impressive. This level of responsiveness and commitment to resolving issues truly sets your hotel apart.
I would particularly like to commend two individuals who were instrumental in turning my experience around:
* To the Chef and Culinary Team: The swift and significant improvement in the food quality is a testament to your talent and dedication. Thank you for ensuring a delightful dining experience.
* To Omar/Mohamed from Reception: Their professionalism, empathy, and proactive assistance were invaluable. They handled my concerns with grace and efficiency, making me feel heard and valued as a guest.
This exceptional recovery has transformed my perception of my stay, and I am now leaving with a very positive impression. Thank you for empowering your team to provide such remarkable service and for demonstrating a true commitment to guest happiness. certainly recommend Pickalbatros Sharm El Sheikh to others.
