Pickalbatros Makadi Resort Aqua Park – Hurghada

"🌴 A wonderful hotel that you want to return to! ❤️ The hotel is wonderful! The rooms are spacious, the beds are large and very comfortable. The cleaning is high quality, the rooms are always clean and cozy. 🍽️ Restaurants and food are a separate story! There are 6 restaurants on the hotel grounds. We can spend a whole evening hopping from one restaurant to another and trying various delicious dishes. I especially recommend visiting the Asian restaurant - be sure to try its cuisine! Every evening there is a stand on the street where fresh fruits are cut right in front of you—mango or melon, which alternate daily. There are also many tasty treats for children, such as popcorn. And all of this is completely free! 3 restaurants are open for breakfast. The fish restaurant especially surprised me, where they offer smoked fish for breakfast: salmon, mackerel, and herring fillet. A great choice for fish lovers! There are 24 pools on the hotel grounds! Here everyone will find a place for rest and pleasure. There is a very beautiful disco bar with a special atmosphere on the top floor. The animation is just super — you definitely won't be bored! 🎶💃 ✨ Overall, everything is wonderful: great atmosphere, delicious food, comfort, entertainment, and hospitable staff. The vacation left only positive impressions. PS. A small note that is not related to the hotel itself. The hotel has a spa where you can get a massage. If you decide to use this service, I advise asking for a fresh towel. Unfortunately, the towel they provided me smelled of sweat. At first, I thought I was just unlucky, but unfortunately, my husband had the same situation. To be honest, it was very unpleasant to smell such a smell during the procedure. I hope the spa salon administration will pay attention to this point and pay more attention to the cleanliness and freshness of the towels. 🙏 ❤️ Thank you very much for your hospitality! We will definitely come to you again! See you later! 🌴☀️"

"Local 5-star rating. By European standards, we would rather assume 3-star superior. Always free lounge chairs at the 20 pools and also on the beach. Because of this, everything is very spacious and relaxed. There are 6 restaurants, all with a buffet. You may only visit the steak restaurant once a week; all other restaurants can be used as you choose. Positive: Very nice room, free upgrade to a family room, very good beds, and the cleaning staff for room 1103 was absolutely top-notch! Thanks to Muhamad Khalaf. The water supply is excellent; you can get bottles everywhere. Staff. The reception is very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The servers at the large pools are very friendly and attentive. The waiters in the lobby of the main building and in the outdoor area in front of it are also very attentive, but sometimes overwhelmed by the number of people. In the evening, it sometimes takes up to an hour for the waiter (Ammar is top) to come back. So, self-service is the order of the day. In the Golden Spa, Hadel (f) and Hewdy (m) do an outstanding job and are highly recommended for a full-body massage. Negative: The animation music is simply way too loud. Animation is all well and good, but the noise is just annoying. There are also people who vacation here and are looking for peace and relaxation. The quality of the food is satisfactory but boring. In every restaurant, there are the same salads, the same desserts, the same appetizers, and the same bread 3 times a day. The food repeats almost every day; always the same thing at breakfast, always the same thing at lunch, and hardly anything new at dinner either. The hotel is simply too big. The lower restaurants are like fast-food joints; for me, that is just mass processing. While there is a different piece of meat every day that is overcooked and sliced by the chef (there is no medium), the rest is the same every day. For a country on the Red Sea, there is very little fish."

"This was our second vacation here—we first visited a year ago and loved it, so we decided to return. This time was even better; it was truly phenomenal! ​Right from the start, the service was outstanding. We arrived at 11:00 AM and were checked in and handed our room key by 11:30 AM! A special and heartfelt thank you to Mr. Nabil Nagah for everything he did for us. He is truly the finest ambassador for this hotel. ​If I could sum up the spirit of this resort in one word, it would be generosity—generosity in hospitality, space, and care. ​Dining & Service: The variety and quality of the food across all restaurants are top-notch. An unforgettable dinner experience at the Steakhouse, special thanks to the manager, Mr. Waleed. We also want to thank Mohamed Gamal at Sidi Ali, Hossam Hassan at Alfredo, and the managers of both restaurants for their exceptional service. ​Special Mentions: Kudos to Chef Gamal Abdel Naser for the delicious waffles, Waleed Hamada at the Lobby Bar, and the fantastic, attentive team at the Aqua Park Bar. ​For Kids: My daughter absolutely loved the Kids Club! They organize fresh, fun activities every single day—huge thanks to Nivo for all the effort and energy! ​We already can’t wait to come back. This hotel has officially become our go-to destination for every vacation! 🏖️✨"
