Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Sharm "Aqua Park"

We booked 2 rooms - one for myself and one for my brother and his girlfriend. The hotel met my request and roomed us very close together which was great. We arrived at 1.30am on the Sunday, and had the room booked from Saturday afternoon. The reception staff were very accommodating during check-in, even taking us to the restaurant to get a small snack before we were taken to the rooms! The rooms were both very spacious and clean. From what we could see, all rooms seem to have a small patio or balcony area which is perfect for a morning cuppa or an evening game! All staff were very polite and friendly - we felt they really made the effort to remember things about where we were from, how long we were staying, etc. Which is impressive considering how many people stay at once! We particularly enjoyed the aqua gym, Zumba and water polo sessions during the day from the animation team too. It was quite windy during our stay, so it was great to have free access to the mini golf and and the cycling cart. As always in holidays like this, the excursions and spa team were keen for us to book with them. We weren't interested in any excursions but felt that the team were very understanding and polite when we said no. We did book a massage with Sasi for our last day, this cost around £60 each for an aromatherapy 1 hour massage. It also included access to the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi afterwards. The different restaurants provided a variety of food - lunch and dinner options were similar each day but with a few differences which worked perfect for our group - some of us liked the consistency while others preferred to try new things! We enjoyed the sports bar in the evening, this was perfect to have a few drinks and play some card games in. We also booked a table at the White Elephant restaurant where you could order a main off the menu, we all had a lovely steak! Rooms were refreshed daily and we thoroughly enjoyed the towel animals.

From the moment we arrived at Pickalbatros Royal Moderna in Sharm El-Sheikh, we knew we had made the right choice. This hotel is simply amazing! The atmosphere, the service, the food—everything was beyond expectations. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful pools, crystal-clear waters, and perfectly maintained gardens. The rooms, while not the newest, were always clean, comfortable, and well-kept. Housekeeping did a fantastic job, making sure everything was spotless every single day, which made our stay even more enjoyable. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible staff, and I have to give a special mention to Bassem Fahmy. He was an absolute gem! From the very first day, he made sure we had everything we needed, always checking in on us with a warm smile. No matter what the request was, he handled it with professionalism and kindness. It’s rare to meet someone so dedicated, and we were lucky to have him as our go-to person during our stay. Thank you, Bassem, for making our trip even more special! We will definitely be coming back to Pickalbatros Royal Moderna, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect vacation in Sharm El-Sheikh.

An amazing stay; very spacious rooms, variety of dinning options, great slides at the aqua park, great setup qt diving center and most important is the incredibly supportive and accomodating stuff parricularly at hotel reception led by Mr. Sayed El-Azzab - many thanks for the amazing stay!!

Since it’s an all-inclusive hotel, I’ll compare it with similar ones in Turkey. First of all, in terms of price-performance, it costs almost half the price of comparable Turkish resorts. Even though we visited in April, the weather was warm enough to swim in both the sea and the pool, which was a big seasonal advantage. There’s also a heated outdoor pool, which is great. The aquapark meets expectations. The sea is different from the Mediterranean—you shouldn’t expect a sandy beach but rather a reef-filled coast where you can observe fish and corals while snorkeling. Although the hotel is right on the seafront, the water remains knee-deep for about 300 meters before reaching deeper levels, where a wonderful underwater experience awaits. The food was decent overall, and the meat dishes, in particular, were very good.

It was our first time in Egypt. The hotel was very clean, tidy and safe. The employees were generally friendly and helpful. Even though it was full, there was no trace of the chaos of all-inclusive hotels. The location and view of our room were exactly what we wanted. The sheets were clean. There was everything we needed to feel comfortable (bathrobes, slippers etc.) Instead of comparing the food with Turkey, we preferred to taste local foods. It is surprising that short-term stayers find the food in 5 different restaurants to be poor. Even if a person stays for a month, he still can not finish the varieties. We had a drink while sunbathing under the big awnings on the beach. We used the shallowness of the sea to our advantage, sunbathing by sitting in the water in the mornings, and cooled off by diving into the water from the pier in the afternoons. We had snacks on the beach. We drank our coffee at Columbus Cafe. We enjoyed watching the shows in the amphitheater, especially belly dance and fireshow. We played minigolf. We sunbathed in the pool. We prefer to laze around instead of doing Zumba, dance, etc. 😊 We came here to relax. We achieved this too. We would like to especially thank Luca. He was there whenever we needed him. He played a big part in making our holiday so wonderful. If you have a problem, don't forget to find Luca😊We would also like to thank the housekeeper who cleaned room 502, the young man who carried our luggages and Muhammed from the reception. They made us feel at home. We plan to go the hotel again. We recommend this hotel.
