Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Resort

Good hotel and amazing service! A bit dated in some areas, but the staff makes up for the small defects of the hotel. We loved the heated pool and our favorite life guard Ahmed! The views from the beach are gorgeous and we loved the mountains in the background. The food was ok. A bit to much of the same, but of you are ready to walk between the different buffés then you can composite a decent plate of food. Loved the egyptian bread directly from the oven! The deserts all look good but the taste is not there. Sweet though. The animation is nice in the evenings. We had a very good week at this hotel and would definitly come back. My ten year old rated our vacation a 10/10 while the adults give it a 8/10. Good value for the money!

I had a really nice stay at Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Resort. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. However, if I’m being honest, it didn’t feel more special than other hotels I’ve seen in places like Ibiza. What truly made this place stand out for me were the people especially the animators. Lera, Kimo, Ruben and Titi (and honestly the whole animation team) brought so much energy, positivity and good vibes every single day. I loved joining yoga, boccia, darts and volleyball the activities were always fun, well organized and full of laughter. They made everyone feel welcome and included, and you could really feel their passion. In the end, it wasn’t the buildings or the pools that made this holiday unforgettable, it was the spirit of the animation team. They are the reason I will come back.

We were a family from Sweden, two adults and three children. From the moment we checked in, we were welcomed in a very warm and friendly way by the reception staff, Bassem Gergis and Joe Gergis. They were extremely helpful, always smiling, and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The restaurant staff were just as friendly and professional. The food was excellent at all the restaurants, and both the breakfast and dinner had a great variety and very good quality. The pool staff were also very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel, Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Sharm & Aqua Park. If I return myself, or if anyone from Sweden asks me for a recommendation, this hotel will absolutely be my first suggestion.

A great week's stay in the sun. Lovely room poolside and service impeccable. Loads of food options and all fresh. Many beds poolside and staff were attentive in making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. Lobby bar excellent service and staff brilliant. Reception staff knowledgeable and professional. Amir on our pool bar was exceptional. We never wanted for anything when he was on duty. All in all a very good weeks break in the sun. Just what we wanted.

Family trip for 2 weeks, if you have a toddler then I suggest bringing bed side rails, as the cots are on the small side. If you’re a smoker, you can essentially smoke wherever you want. If you’re not a smoker, then you’ll be able to tell if your next door neighbours smoke as the smell comes through the fans. The internet is terrible and after a week it logs you out every other day and the speeds are awful (3mbps). Highly recommend a travel e-sim if you have the ability to do so, and ensuring you have plenty downloaded to watch on an iPad (particularly for your children). The food is very much the same after you’ve had a week of it, not a complaint as it is nice and there’s always a good selection, but just don’t expect to challenge your palette. Wasn’t made clear to us on arrival but you have the option to book the “White Elephant” for free once during your stay. That was nice, but certainly wouldn’t pay to go. The staff cannot do enough for you, we have tipped 100 Egyptian pounds, regularly (but not daily), to those who look after us best and it keeps them coming back. I say the staff, I mean simply the staff you see on a regular basis (service & bar staff), the reception staff are less than helpful. Particularly the desk on the right hand side, as they simply stand there looking important and fob you off to one of their colleagues. The pharmacy on site, particularly for nappies & wipes, was excessively expensive (£20 for a 24 pack & 2 packs of wipes) Long story short, we had a lot of fun. From an English perspective, at least during our stay, other English were few and far between. There are seemingly a lot of Russian people that stay here. But it was enjoyable, I’d just make sure to bring a travel e-sim with you.
