Hello everyone.
I've been there since October 17-30, 21.
To be honest, I chose the hotel based on reviews, there were several options, but I chose this one for the price. Fortunately, there was a hot option, and the price is very pleasant. Not the point.
I didn't expect much supernatural from the hotel itself.
In principle, it was so. It can be seen that everything is time-worn)) But in general, it worked. Outwardly, not bad.
And the room is, in principle, not bad. TV, 2 beds, kettle, refrigerator (2 free bottles of water), hair dryer, wardrobe, safe (which really broke down, but the reception reacted and it was changed, but the truth is during the day).
There is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception on the day.
And so, few people speak Russian. But they try to understand.
The hotel itself is located all alone in the middle of the desert and the sea) So if someone wants to go for a walk, then you are not here.
Do not go into the sea without safety shoes, shells and corals. Plus, there is also a long descent to the depths.
The best way is to go to the Pier, there are just a couple of reefs for diving, a cool topic)
The food is not bad, you can always find something.
In general, I liked the hotel. But...
if they ask, will I come here again? Then probably not, than yes)
I will clarify right away: price-quality.
The cost of the tour here is very budgetary, for this money it is a very good hotel. Of course, there is no city or infrastructure around, but if you do not leave the hotel except for excursions, everything is OK.
They are fed often and well. The variety is not great, but it is quite enough.
A great cafe with excellent coffee.
At the very top there is an "Italian" restaurant - pasta is served for dinner.
Just don't pay attention to the renovation in the rooms, it's just light cosmetics, instead of a complete restoration.
The sea is from the pier, there is no point in entering from the shore, it is very far to the depth there)
Take a higher floor)
In general, the top for your money.
January 2022, 5 nights, 25k/two
Well, it's right in the desert, if you like movers, you're not here, to the nearest party, 40 minutes by taxi, the food is delicious, breakfast and dinner are top, it's a little poor at lunch, even though there are 3 restaurants on the territory ... alcohol is poured for slaughter.
It is windy on the territory, there is no sea, there is but to walk 150 meters along the pier, it is beautiful, there are fish, there are no sharks 😁👍🏼
The hotel is gorgeous. But the Albatross network itself, in my opinion, is too formalized. There is nothing interesting about it. Standards. Employees adhere to standards only in cases for their own benefit.
The furniture is old, and the conditions are completely normal, the local restaurant is 5+, the heated pool)

The location is not very good, an hour by car to Hurghada, the hotel is quite old, the rooms are clearly not new, the door does not open the first time. Very budget 4
To say it is bad, to say nothing. 4 of us (2 adults and 2 children) were given a room with 3 small beds and one sofa. But initially, the tour operator and I chose a room with 2 bedrooms. That was also written on the voucher, but they decided to save money on us. No one changed our room for 1 day, the guide arrived on the second day and after the scandal they only changed it. Although the hotel is considered 4*, but it does not take more than 3 *. We have never changed the bed in 7 days. There was no shampoo in the room until 3 times they asked for it. The rooms have not been renovated for a long time.Although the hotel is the first line, but there is little water. I had to walk 800 m to get at least knee-deep water. If you don't want to ruin your vacation, I don't recommend this hotel. The only plus is the delicious fish and the show program.
a great place, the food is delicious and varied) there is a water sports station.we went to Elguna by taxi from here - I recommend getting out for a day)
Oh cannon , 10 days for two $ 590 all inclusive .
A good place for couples with children )
Bomb staff , food 11 out of 10
Drunks are good , and the most wonderful thing is beer , bottled …
1. And most importantly, there is no sea!!!!!!! Every day it goes 200 meters away, exposing the coral bottom, along which you will not enter the water from the beach without special shoes. This must be taken into account if you are going on vacation with children. The entrance to the sea is only from the pontoon and here are the next disadvantages - it opens when an employee arrives (about 9 am). that is, if you went to breakfast at 7, you can take your time at sea, the pontoon is closed. Once on it, after walking about 200m, the next disappointment is the entrance to the water alone. There is only one staircase and a queue of people who want to go in and out, it is very inconvenient. The fence to the buoys is 50 meters. A very small square for swimming. It is bathing, ptmh swimming here simply will not work. You will be whistled and pulled out of the water if you decide to swim further. When entering the water from the stairs, the depth was immediately and there were always waves, the wind accompanied the whole vacation very strong. If you swim so-so, and even more so with children, this option will obviously disappoint you((
2. Strong winds. And not for a day or two, which could be assumed to be coincidental, but for all 12 days of rest. There was a sandstorm one day, it's just trash 😖
3. The concept of the hotel. Everything is very ill-conceived, you can ignore it, but the impression is built from the little things.
For example: the hotel has a main restaurant/bar (in the main building), a pool bar, a beach bar and a snack cafe on the beach. You decided to have a snack on the beach at lunch, so as not to return to the main restaurant. They took a pizza, and they send you to the bar for drinks. OK, there's a beach bar right around the corner, but apart from beer and lemonades, you won't be offered anything. Over a glass of wine, go to the main bar, don't forget to get dressed, no one will serve you in a towel. And so you walk 500 meters in the heat while your pizza cools down over wine. They will pour 100 grams, ask for more, they will twist their muzzle. The kindness of the staff leaves much to be desired, this is a separate point. The most polite person in the hotel is our room cleaner.
Next, about logistics. There is a cafe on the ground floor where they make excellent coffee, but again twenty-five. If you want to have coffee at breakfast in the morning, then please go down to the 1st floor separately, and then go up to the second floor to the main restaurant.
There are 2 bars on the 1st floor - alco and without alco (where there is coffee). So if you want juice besides coffee, then go to another bar (alco).
In short, it is already clear that everything seems to be there, but it is stupidly not thought out and not customer-oriented ((
3. Staff
I have never met such a piggish attitude. I walk up to the bar, the employee is standing with his back, watching TV. Another person approaches, he knows perfectly well that the guests are behind him, but continues to look. He turns around, with an exclamation of dislike, throws the toothpick violently on the floor and waits for our order. Is this normal?
Another day, we ask for juice and rum. Pours, after a while we come up again. He says he's out of juice. Well, OK, sometimes we take soda. Following us, the next tourists ask for juice - he gets it. What kind of double standards? Not only is there trouble with cocktails, the staff does not know the contents of the pinocolade and cannot cook, but they also refuse to pour ordinary drinks.
4. Animation
Don't expect to be actively entertained here. Alas, it seems that the animators are only happy if they don't find a volleyball or aqua aerobics team. Upon arrival, we did not see any animators at all for 2 days, complained to our guide, and a miracle happened. It was the first time we saw this employee on the beach. All the action takes place in the pool area (the water is cold by the way). There is only volleyball on the beach and only in the evening. All.
Of the advantages:
Nice room, beautiful view from the window. Sooooo, there is not enough brush in the toilet, well, such a trifle could be corrected, many people write about it.
The food is delicious and quite varied, BUT there is no fruit. More precisely, you will be offered oranges and apples. There were melons twice during the whole vacation, there were no watermelons at all.
Well, the advantages end there.
A Russian family with children arrived with us, who on the 2nd day were already trying to move to another hotel, there is no children's animation, they are not allowed into the pool without an adult even taking into account armbands and a depth of 120 cm!!!! You can't jump, you can't do anything. You can't go in from the pier in the morning, because the worker has not yet come, and the exit from the water is at 17.30, although the sun has not set yet. Some kind of ghetto with a lot of restrictions, no other way.
Sorry for the money spent, that's all I can say about this vacation.
There is no queue in the restaurant, there are always clean seats. The rooms are renovated and dead.There is a lot of space near the pool and the sea.There is a heated swimming pool.For trips, install an Uber, it will be cheaper than at the hotel.
Great hotel. Rooms, catering, service, entrance to the sea is convenient for children, animation

The hotel is good in its territory, there are pools, sun loungers for everyone and the sea on the beach as well, the rooms are tired,they are cleaned normally, the kitchen is fine, far from the city.it is better not to catch local taxis on the road and do not order at the hotel, they are expensive.Order an uber, it's much cheaper and they'll bring you back, wait until you go for a walk or shopping and take you back.

Nice hotel! The rooms are not bad, everything is there, everything is working, freshly renovated. Service and cleaning for 5! The food is very good, they work, they try, I liked the Italian restaurant, it is located above the main one, there is dinner only without reservation, you go in and eat, climbing is super! I used Rum is not bad, the beach is good there. We were in January the best way to take a break from winter, bask in the sun and the sea is of course cool. Take a mask with you. There are a lot of fish on the pier, take a mask!
Delicious food, good room stock, friendly staff. Entering the sea from panton, a stingray lives under the bridge. The pool is not heated, but in the heat it is what you need. There are wind barriers on the beach.
It's a good hotel, it's a bit boring for children, but there is animation. Rude bartenders for Russians . The food is good, there are several restaurants. Nice coffee bar. I liked the hotel in general.
We went in September 2021, everything looks like the post-war period, everything is shabby, the service is average for 5 people. The rooms are dirty, the bed linen is stained. Tips are expected from you everywhere, it's not clear just for what??? The food is quite average, egurts and other food of incomprehensible freshness were afraid to eat. They ate almost the same thing, but without success. They were poisoned in the 2nd week, first me, then a friend. In the sea, the entrance to the photos is deceptive, do not be fooled, it seems that the sand, and there it is slightly dusted, the rest is all a sponge stone in which sikarakhs live. The whole bottom is littered with them. Every day the Water decreases there and you can watch them climb out. The hotel is not well located, there is always a hurricane-strong wind, it is not possible to take pictures or lie down! We got to the edge of the lure for excursions and massages on site!!!! This hotel does not share religious views, you are splashing in the pool, girls in burkinis are splashing next to you, and her husband is diving underwater in a suit, in the pool ... what is interesting is he looking at there… It's a long way to go on excursions in all directions! But we bravely still rolled down to Luxor, then to Cairo to the pyramids. We went to Cairo one day! I do not advise from Hurghada, for sure, of the whole trip we were given only 1 hour to "run around all the pyramids and the sphinx", the rest of the time was killed by them in the store of perfume oils and other similar stuff! Egypt! Don't wait for us anymore.
Michael and Carlos did not take off the photo for the second time, and the first time I did not have time to download it from Google drive, they deleted it without warning. I write to them and they ignore it..
These are boat trips on a yacht at the hotel.
And so everything is fine!! 🤘
PS I paid 50 bucks for the photographer🙁
Albatross is always on top! They are being fed for slaughter, no matter what anyone says! The variety of everything! And baking is something divine! Those who are unhappy that the sea is going away, so you have not seen how in some places it really goes away. A great hotel for your money. And yes.....he stands in the middle of the desert. Suitable for those who don't like to hang out in the city
We rested in January 2033, a cool hotel for our money, the ticket cost 85 for 2 people, there was a wind every other day, the sea is normal, the pool is warm, alcohol will go
The hotel is good and the staff is friendly.the only negative is the sea, only from the pier.but this is not a problem if there are many pools without children.There are plenty of sun beds everywhere.and as for nutrition, it's just fine.It was in December 2021
We were in December 2021 before the new year. For my money, it's fine, without frills, I liked that there were very few people.
Of the cons: we got a normal-looking room, but if you start looking closely, but the price covers everything. You do not buy from the shore, you need to walk along the pontoon, and there is nowhere to put a towel there.
Among the advantages: a chic bar near the reception, very tasty coffee, the children took different coffee drinks.
The 4* hotel. The service is for 2. The rooms are decent, but you go to a dirty room. Then they clean up better for tips. And in general, you can get your "all inclusive" package for a tip. The attitude of the staff towards tourists leaves much to be desired... The food is also meager and monotonous. The sea is shallow (good for small children), 150 meters pier, at the end of which there is a place for swimming fenced with buoys. There is nothing for children. Playground with swings, everything. Wi-fi is normally free, pulls video calls, you can watch movies. It's a 1.5 hour drive from the airport.
We were a family With young children in November 2021, we liked everything, there is food, you can find what the kids have. Of course the rooms are not super new but they are clean
There is no sea in this hotel (As the locals told us, you need to come on a full moon, then the sea is at least a little, but there is😳but it is not worth counting on you to be at least waist-deep. Of course, there is a pier with a length of about a kilometer, you can dive there, but the place is fenced with a grid, as the waves are very strong. The staff is mostly friendly, but there are of course exceptions. For free excursions from the tour operator (fur, souvenirs and textiles store, oils) I strongly advise you not to go. It is better to go to Hurghada and see for yourself.There are shops at the exit of the hotel, the prices are too high, so bargain. If you want to buy oil, buy it at the pharmacy at times cheaper.Also be prepared that there is a constant (daily and every minute) wind, strong enough.There is no animation as such, and there is no disco either.
I really liked the hotel: everything is done in a classic style and with taste. Every guest feels comfortable in the lobby and lobby bar. There is enough space for numerous companies and for couples in love. The territory of the hotel is well maintained and attracts with its beautiful flower beds, flowers, manicured lawns and trees. Several pools connected to each other provide an opportunity for kids and teenagers to play, and there is also enough space for adults. There are sun beds with canopies around the pools, and a bar is open. Indian, Italian and seafood restaurants invite guests. Animators know their business - gymnastics, aqua aerobics, dance lessons, games and evening shows - will not leave you indifferent. A separate delight to the staff of the Auastars diving center! Thank you so much for your attention and care to the newcomers! The best experience of a lifetime! You are super!
It's a good hotel, and I liked the rooms and the food, but of course the coral is dead and small, the water goes very far from the shore and you can't even swim from the pontoon.
The hotel is great, the food and service are excellent, but you can't buy on the beach. Very shallow depth, all the time I had to go swimming on the Pier and it's 300 meters, this is probably the only drawback
The hotel is not bad! I liked it, of course there is a sea, but you need to walk along the pier and go down the stairs to swim! Oh, I can tell you about the pools, everything is clean, they are constantly cleaning, cleaning, very, very clean pools! The rooms are cleaned every day, the food is excellent, everyone will find what they want, breakfast from 07 to 11-30 (brunch! In general, I recommend anyone who wants to relax! For married couples and just relax in the buzz!
A good hotel, although not large, according to Turkish measurements, the rooms are old but put in order.The food is not plentiful, but everything is in stock: fish, meat, chicken are always available.The sea is 300 meters from the main entrance to the shore, the pier in the sea is 220 meters.
