Pickalbatros Citadel Resort

February 8
Beautiful, clean territory. Very beautiful color of the water in the bay. There is no variety in the food, it's the same every day, but seafood is also served daily. Oriental sweets are only available at the Citadel restaurant. The rest are just plain cakes. We checked into a Deluxe room, but it was decrepit and had a view of the roof of the next block of rooms, with the sea somewhere far away on the side. Reluctantly, they were moved to a slightly smaller room, but with a better view. So it probably doesn't make sense to take a tour with a Deluxe room right away. The staff is good - cleaning is daily, the waiters almost immediately came up and brought drinks, sang songs, smiled. If swimming in the sea is important to you, then there is nothing to do there in the middle of January because of the strong wind. I practically didn't swim because it's cold. And don't be fooled that you will go on some kind of excursion and it will be warmer there, because the water is cold everywhere. We went to Paradise Island - the water is even more icy. I barely lasted 5 minutes in the water.

We visited this hotel from November 5 to November 13, 2024. I really liked the hotel: beautiful, unusual interiors) I liked everything: the food, the service and the sea. We swam in the lagoons: there are two of them, going down the stairs, but even a 5-year-old child had no difficulty getting down. So, those who write that there is nowhere to swim, I do not understand you)) I was also pleased with the warm heated pool in November.
3 restaurants to choose from + ala maps by appointment.
You will always find somewhere to choose and eat. We were always well-fed and satisfied, and the 5-year-old child ate everything))
There is a place to walk on the territory. We personally did not get tired of the number of steps.
The room itself was clean, daily cleaning, huge balcony.
We lived in building 3, everything was nearby.
I definitely recommend it.

The rest took place from 07.07.2024 to 17.07.2024, we are delighted! The hotel is gorgeous with its views, the staff is competent in all matters, excellent guys with knowledge of the business, attentive and friendly, there were no problems with the language, mostly Russian speakers. The hotel has a currency exchange without problems (dollars were exchanged for smaller bills, and dollars for pounds) the territory is huge, for the convenience of movement around the hotel there is a bus running every 15 minutes from the reception to the room. Cleanliness, order everywhere, there were no problems with water or electricity in the rooms, the air conditioner was out of order, the reception bell rang, the problem was fixed in 30 minutes! The beach is protected from sharks by corals, lagoons are made, the water is very warm and clean, there are fish swimming around people like pets, we were hand-fed bread from the restaurant! At every step, you can get refreshing cocktails and ice cream for free from 14-17 o'clock. Animators work on the beach, entertain vacationers, in the evening there is a show on a special site and a disco. I advise and recommend you to visit, if possible, we will fly there again

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous big coastline, large rooms, 40 minutes drive from the airport. It was filled up ahead of time, for which I thank you more. The contingent is mainly Europeans and Chinese, 10 percent Russians. The staff is polite and always ready to help. They asked for extra blankets and slippers in the room, they brought them right away. Cleaning is good. Drinks are served on the beach, in the lobby and in all bars and restaurants. In restaurants, the food for dinner and lunch is slightly different. Breakfast and lunch are served in two locations (the restaurant on the embankment and the main one next to the reception), dinner in three restaurants plus a la carte restaurants (one is free, the other is 35 euros per person). The food in all restaurants is varied and delicious, there is always beef, chicken, duck, seafood and grilled salmon. Pizza is served on the embankment, and delicious ice cream is served from two to five. The Ala kart restaurant did not like the fish, it was quickly replaced with another dish, for the first time in many visits to Ala kart restaurants they did not go to eat in the dining room, the service and cuisine were excellent. Entertainment options include billiards, table tennis (tipped), and a children's room (not available), but the entertainment program for children is scheduled for the whole day. Evening shows, held at the lobby bar (well, that kind of thing). There are two heated pools, but occasionally the water in them cools down, but you can swim comfortably. There is also a good access to the sea, two bays, in February the temperature is 23 degrees, you can swim, eat fish. The hotel has a place to walk, a half-hour leisurely walk from Poseidon to the amphitheater, and you can walk along the beach for an hour and a half. ATV rides are available near the hotel, there is a pharmacy and souvenir shops. In February, a strong cold wind blows, they wore sweatshirts, and the Chinese wore winter jackets. Cons: almost everywhere smokes, it is not possible to watch the evening show, due to the fact that the eyes are already watering from the smoke, it is impossible for non-smokers to breathe. The noise insulation of the rooms is poor, but the room stock is being updated, perhaps the situation will be better in new rooms. We lived in building 5, it hasn't been renovated yet, but the view from the room is gorgeous, as is the huge terrace. Mattresses, pillows, very comfortable. The mini bar is refilled as it is emptied.

The hotel is good. The rooms are very spacious and clean, and also have a terrace (large balcony). The cleaning is normal, although many reviews complain about it. Towels are changed every day. The beds are very comfortable. The air conditioner cools well, but it makes noise if at maximum (it didn't bother me). Drinking water in the room is constantly being added. There is a kettle, tea and instant coffee.
The hotel itself is located completely on the outskirts of Hurghada, just in the desert, so you can't go to the city or to the store. There are shops on site – the prices are appropriate.
The territory is really huge, so it's better to live in the rooms of those buildings that stand along the beach.
The hotel is not for the elderly (you need to walk a lot) and not for children (there is no children's animation and not quite a "children's" sea)). For me, both are only a plus.
The service is very unobtrusive and not exactly unfriendly, but, let's just say, quite indifferent. The architecture is beautiful. Very well maintained plants, lots of flowers.
The pools are VERY small for such a huge hotel (I did not understand the delights of the infinity pool, it is tiny). For me, there are no problems, I never swim in them anywhere, but for people who prefer pools to the sea, this is not an option. Near the pools, as well as in the pools, there is nowhere to fall.
In fact, there is no sea in this hotel, if we are talking about the sea-the sea. In fact, there are 3 lagoons (2 of them are artificial) and you can swim out of these artificial lagoons into the marina, but they are not allowed into the open sea – you can swim to the exit from the marina at most. I was more than happy with that. These lagoons have very warm water, from which you can generally not leave all day and are absolutely safe in the sense of sharks. There are a lot of fish there. It's kind of like saltwater pools. For people like me, who really loves the sea, but at the same time is very afraid of the depth – that's the thing. There is a small coral reef in the marina. It was quite enough for me. The entrance is anywhere only in the coral. For such a huge hotel, there is little room for swimming, it is good that most of those who come to it do not go to the sea. But, as I said, I really liked these lagoons precisely for their isolation from the open sea.
The food is of high quality, the choice is decent, there are no queues anywhere, even for something like that... You definitely won't stay hungry. Meat is cooked delicious, they don't know how to cook fish. Meat is chicken and beef. As "specialties" - mutton and duck (I saw both once and the other once) Seafood once had shrimp, which they spoiled. Surprisingly very tasty soups. Again, surprisingly delicious cheeses (both hard and cottage cheese, such as Philadelphia) and cold cuts. Pasta is well prepared and pizza is very tasty. Vegetables and fruits are standard. Compared to Egypt 10-15 years ago, food has become much more modest. There are a lot of dishes, most of them are cooked with high quality, but there are no frills. It's the same for breakfast all the days and by the end of the vacation you get tired of it. And the bias of the dishes is more towards what Arab tourists, who are the majority here, eat. A lot of baking (I haven't tried it), I tried dessert once – the ball is very tasty, a lot of bakery. Freshly squeezed juices are only vegetable and you can also ask for apples, or melons, and then only in one restaurant. In all others – packaged juice. I drank only wine from alcohol. You can drink, but it's just very simple and for any drink you need to walk a long distance along the beach (waiters work only at the natural lagoon, where most tourists are). 60-70% of the tourists are Egyptians. There are practically no Russians.
Neveland is not worth going there, amateur activity at the same time with a focus on Europe, although I thought it would be something national.

I really liked the hotel, I advise everyone.
Mostly Germans rest here (they come here all the time, the meeting place), Czechs, Dutch, Belgians, Arabs, few Russians.
The hotel is of European quality for publication over 50, although there are a lot of young people.
30 minutes from the airport
Territory
It is large, covered in coral stone, beautiful moderately green, large coastline, but not everywhere you can swim because of the corals. There are 2 lagoons facing the sea, where there is a beautiful reef with fish and corals, snorkeling is a pleasure.
There is a marina or marina from where you can go on a sea trip.
The territory is constantly being washed, cleaned, and shined-this is a big plus
Wi-fi is available everywhere on the territory and in restaurants, in the room and in the lobby, on the beach and in the sea), the speed is normal.
There are 2 more pools on the 2nd (more social) and 3rd (calm) levels.
There are elevators, but they do not save, it will be difficult for strollers.
There is a bus running through the territory and to the beach.
There is a pharmacy, shops, a beauty salon, massage (there is one boorish barker for massage, if you refuse him, he insults, I put a photo of him in white, maybe he will attract attention), a hammam, a fitness room.
The staff is friendly, smiling, helps, responds, brings.
Tips are optional.
Beach
Large, sand and small pebbles. There are a lot of sun beds, of normal quality. Towels are provided. It's better to take the corals on my feet, I forgot them and it was okay, but it's more comfortable to put them on.
There are showers, changing rooms, bars.
Rescuers keep an eye on your movement in the sea and whistle to return if you swim far away, sometimes it pisses you off, because you want to dive away, and they tell you in hysterics to come back.
A good diving center. There is training with the issuance of certificates. The teachers are very competent.
Number
We had a deluxe. 7005. Very large, like a 1-room apartment, the interior is coral stone, very beautiful and colorful! LCD TV, wardrobe, hallway, bathroom, terrace. The beds are comfortable, the linen is good, cleaned every day, clean.
The sound insulation is very good.
There is no iron, no ear sticks. The slippers were brought
Meal
There are 34 general food courts: at the lobby, by the beach; Asian and Turkish (dinner only), 2 restaurants a la card - Moroccan and international.
The food is delicious, fresh, but monotonous (but the sausages suck, I haven't eaten worse anywhere).
It is better to have breakfast in the upper one, because they make fresh drinks there, have lunch by the beach, because they make a grill there, and have dinner in a Turkish restaurant on a chic terrace.
The drinks are not bad, beer, cocktail(so-called) juices, colas.
The waiters are like dogs hanging around the old Germans, because they feed them with tips, don't worry if they don't notice you 3-4 times)
Entertainments
There is animation, the guys are trying, volleyball, aerobics, yoga, darts. In the evening there is a show at 9.30 pm, then a disco.
On Wednesdays, in the afternoon, foam disco .
There is a children's room, but they say it's boring.
You can place and change money at the bar, at the waiters, on the beach, just ask)
We took an excursion to Cairo from Biblio Globus and his companion San int., representative Mukhtar and made sure that there was no more! We talked for 2 hours at the museum and 1.5 hours at the pyramids - in fact, 50 minutes running the museum and 30 minutes of the pyramid. I do not recommend this company.
Conclusion:
The hotel is cool, beautiful, with excellent service, which is rare in Egypt.
I liked it-yes! I would have returned- yes! I advise you- definitely!

Nice hotel. We liked everything. The menu is varied, there are many different restaurants. I especially liked the restaurant of Marrakan cuisine. The staff is polite, but of course they try to sell extras.services. Many people speak Russian if they don't understand English. Nice spa, but expensive. Choose rooms with sea views and not the first floor. We lived on the 4th floor, on the first line, waking up with such a view is priceless
Excursions are sold right at the hotel, we took both VIP and regular ones. The usual ones were better. The guide is more pleasant, there is more space on the bus, the trip is more economical.
The territory of the hotel is very large, plus departure from the hotel only by taxi, but this is even more a plus than a minus, there are no strangers on the territory.

Overall a good hotel. The rooms are great, the food is good. It is better to take a family room with children. A beach with good access to the sea. The animation is so-so, the same thing. 2 heated swimming pools. There are no a la carte restaurants, at most you can go to Italian and Asian.
The food is the same, the menu is the same every day, I haven't seen a difference in 2 weeks. The territory seems big at first, but in fact it's not that big. There is not much place to walk. There are no towns nearby, it's a long walk to the highway, so you'll have to take a taxi for $ 40 at the hotel, but I advise you to go one way, you can get back for $ 5 locally.

The hotel is large and beautiful. The rooms are spacious with a dressing room and a veranda overlooking the sea. The room has a TV with several Russian channels, a mini-bar (water, cola and sprite), wi-fi of good quality, in the bathroom there is a large shower, hairdryer, toiletries. There is a safe in the dressing room. The food is quite acceptable, I am quite a fastidious person in food, I always found something to eat. The only thing that was very disappointing was the desserts (they are not delicious at all), only if baked in the morning or at the Columbus cafe. By the way, this cafe has the most delicious coffee. Alcohol is of very low quality (local), it is better to take it with you from home or buy it on departure at duty free. The coastline is more than a kilometer long, but you can swim in the sea only in one place (a small lagoon up to 20 m long), so it's very crowded there, you can't swim much. But we saw 7 species of fish in this lagoon, they swim around and you feel like in an aquarium. Since we had a rest in early July, the temperature was around +40+43. The water in the sea is +30. Since the hotel is made of stones, they heat up at such a temperature and give additional air heating during the day, it was "unbearably" hot to walk and walk around the hotel during the day. The air conditioner was not working well in our room, we called a repairman through the reception, but he could not do anything. At night, the temperature in the room was +30, it was uncomfortable to sleep. It is a pity that when the hotel was half empty, we were not moved to another room with a normally working air conditioner. I recommend this hotel only in the season from October to April, in other months it is very hot there because of the heated stone walls.

Albatros Citadel Hotel Review
We rested from 17.10.2023 to 24.10.2023. The tour from Moscow cost 260,000 rubles for two people.
We arrived at 10 a.m. and at 11 we were already checked in, although check-in is at 14:00. This is a huge plus for them, I'll give them 5 points.
Let's start with the pros, as there will be many more of them here than the cons.
1. The territory of the hotel is incredibly beautiful and huge. For those who like to take pictures, there are 1,000,000 gorgeous locations here.
We got room 5125, and it is not very close to the reception, but this does not spoil the rest in any way. But the view from the window is just perfect, and the entrance to the sea is not far from the room.
Also, a bus runs through the hotel every 15 minutes, which will take you either to your room or to the restaurant /sea / reception.
2. Delicious food.
It was delicious for us at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
There is always an opportunity to find something to your liking, as there are 3 free restaurants on site where you can eat. Everyone's assortment is slightly different.
They have the most delicious coffee in the Columbus Cafe. In other places, it's hardware, I don't really like it.
3. Staff
We were delighted with the staff at the restaurants and cafes. All the guys are very polite, nimble, smiling. They can come up and ask if they want to bring some drinks and if everything suits us. So far, this is the best staff of all the hotels I've been to.
4. Entering the sea and bays
It is precisely into the sea with sand that only one was found on the territory, and for people who do not really know how to swim, it is considered ideal.
There are two bays.
In the bay, which is near the stage, the approach is very convenient — the legs will be intact.
But the bay, which is near the Food court, did not really like the approach and stones: it is better to go in special shoes.
There are two large swimming pools on the territory.
Disadvantages:
1. The rooms do not correspond to the declared level of the hotel. Perhaps we got just such a room, and there are more beautiful ones in the hotel. But this does not spoil the vacation in any way, since the beauty of the territory makes up for everything.
2. Entertainment. The hotel is mostly very quiet, even the music is not always playing. There are various shows in the evening. We visited only one thing — we didn't like it at all. I only liked it when they sang live, because the singers had beautiful voices.
Fans of hanging out are clearly not here.
But for lovers of peace and quiet, welcome to paradise

Excellent hotel , corresponds , as stated on the five - star The hotel is very large (stretched ), so you have to walk a lot, the beach is very long , there are several lagoons and a coral reef, which is very impressive ( there are a lot of different fish, there are turtles and moray eels), it's cool for Hurghada, usually you will find this only in Charm.

We returned 3 days ago from this hotel. The hotel is good: the food is decent, there is fish, there are seafood, but meat and fish are mostly fried and in batter. For those who do not eat fried food, there is just boiled chicken and a few more boiled dishes. The staff is polite, many speak Russian, which is good news. But if you know English, then there should be no problems in communication at all. The hotel has a very beautiful bay where yachts and boats are moored. For photos, it's generally a beauty. But you can't swim in it. As for the beach: if you are a lover of a sandy beach, then you probably are not here. Because there are many coves lined with stone throughout the hotel and their bottom is rocky. You can't go into the water without corals: there are a lot of hedgehogs. There is one cool bay with a depth of about 4-5 meters. It is fenced off from the open sea like a swimming pool. Sharks will not swim, and water is drawn directly from the sea into it. Everyone swims in this bay. We found 2 stingrays in it)) as for the fish..))) There are a lot of them here. And there are a lot of sea cucumbers on the bottom) I think that's what they are called) In general, put corals on your feet and go ahead. You have a good view underwater. There are a lot of crabs on the rocks of the coves laid out by the hotel. Yes, and also: electric cars and a blue bus run on the territory of the hotel)) if you do not want to walk, then you can get to your building or on it. All rooms have sea views - this is how the hotel is built. And the hills. I won't write down the minuses - we didn't notice them)) if only the airline... But this is a topic for another review.

I was at the hotel for the first time. I was captivated and delighted by the scale. The territory is huge and very beautiful. Everything is contained in frequency and order. Well-groomed beaches, neat recreation areas with sun beds. There are bars and food courts on the beach) Very decent room stock. The staff is polite and unobtrusive. The cuisine is without frills, but diverse and qualitatively delicious. The hotel has a small bazaar with souvenirs and a pharmacy. Of the cons. Paid medical services at the hotel. Unknowingly, they turned to him and it cost a lot of money. It cost $150 to anoint the foot with iodine and glue a patch. The doctor does not give a price list before the procedure and does not inform about the price. Pretends that he does not understand either Russian or English… Well, it's your own fault! We will be smarter from now on) I advise you to contact a pharmacy (if something is uncritical) there they will tell you how to be treated and offer medicine. Communication is free and pleasant)

A super hotel!!! We flew at the end of April. We arrived at the hotel at about 9 a.m., the room was given immediately and without additional charges. A room in the 5th building (1 line can be said) with a sea view.
The coral reef is a separate love 1.5 km away.
The food certainly let me down, but it's not scary for me.
Various activities on the territory of the hotel.
The territory of the hotel is large.
Of the disadvantages: the location, there is nothing near the hotel, but this can be made up for by excursions.

Probably the best hotel in the vicinity of Hurghada. The territory is huge, in winter there are 2 heated pools, an outdoor Jacuzzi, cleanliness, service - everything is super! The food is varied. There is a hookah bar, a good fitness room. The reef right on the territory of the hotel is the most luxurious, here I swam for the first time with wild dolphins - they played with me like kittens, an unforgettable experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. Staff 5+
The room was gorgeous, huge - the category was upgraded for $ 20 to VIP, although the hotel was thought out only competently that there are simply no bad rooms. All with sea views.

We had a rest at the hotel in June of this year. The hotel is nice, the staff is friendly and friendly. I always tried to help if it was necessary. The rooms were cleaned cleanly and in a timely manner, restaurants with a wide variety of dishes for every taste, and in different parts of the hotel, i.e. it is not necessary to go to the main building. Nice, clean beach. There are a lot of sun beds and umbrellas. Beautiful view from the room.
The large and beautiful territory of the entire hotel.
Among the disadvantages, I would like to mention the Golden Booda bar, which for some reason is located inside the 4th building. And when there is some kind of party in the bar, and it usually lasts until 3 a.m., then music can be heard perfectly at night in the rooms of the fourth building, you can only fall asleep with earplugs, but even so the music will be heard. Our room was a few other rooms away from this bar and the music was perfectly audible. I can't imagine how people slept in the rooms that are located across the wall from this bar. And perhaps this is the only disadvantage of this hotel in our opinion.

Probably one of the best hotels in Hurghada, beautiful architecture in the form of a fortress on the seashore. There are enough pools, the coastline of 1.5 km will not be crowded. There are animations and activities for children and adults, but I think this hotel is more suitable for adults. Boat trips, safaris from the hotel. The restaurants are decent, the chefs don't change, and that's good. There is a feeling that this year the cuisine has been brought as close as possible to the European one.

The best hotel in Hurghada is definitely .
You get into a fairy tale, the ancient fortress is magnificent. On the territory of the hotel, lagoons are closed with nets , swimming pools. A long beach, where there are always places for all vacationers , everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The staff is not annoying. Billiards has worn out a little , you could already change the cues, perhaps the only disadvantage. I was there twice and everyone followed me. All my friends visited this hotel and remained fascinated

We had a vacation with my husband from May 27 to June 7, 2024.
I must say the hotel is decent and yes we would come back here.
We were placed in the sixth building. The room is large and clean. Large balcony with sea view. Towels were changed every day. The bed linen was changed every three days. Bathrobes are provided, slippers are not (maybe for a fee). There is a safe (free of charge). Instead of a closet, there is a whole dressing room (very convenient, everything is easily placed). The air conditioner was working properly.
Food: chicken, beef, fish - every day. Shrimp - there were 3 times in 10 days of rest. Squid more often, but not every day. Vegetables, greens every day. Very tasty desserts, pastries. The juice is freshly squeezed only in the morning (carrots, apples, peppers, herbs, cabbage, beets - the whole assortment of what juice can be made from). There were few fruits. What happened every day: bananas, grapefruits are bitter and sour; plums are sour; melons are juicy; apples are very tasty. Next, which was rare: tangerines were only on the first two days of our arrival, watermelon was given only three times in 10 days.
The beach is clean, there were enough sun beds for everyone. We were bitten by midges in the late afternoon (but not every day), we even had to leave the beach. The sea is clean, beautiful, there are a lot of fish, and what is very pleasing is that the bathing places are separated from the sea by a net and stones for safety purposes.
I can't say anything about animation because we weren't interested in it at all. I know that the guests were entertained both in the afternoon and in the evening.

A wonderful hotel!
Honestly, at first we drove with caution - we read negative reviews about the kitchen, the beach, cleanliness.
But, as they say, I won't believe it until I see it myself. And he was right!
The hotel is great. The cuisine is varied. There are also regular dishes (buffet) so are the dishes of the day - fish, meat, fruits. There is a PP table - it was just a surprise.
In addition to the main restaurant, there are three more with authentic dishes, but a limited menu. These are la'card restaurants that are fashionable to get to by appointment.
The sweet table will even move the Turkish cuisine - every day at least 5 different desserts are served.
There are different beaches - both fenced coves with platforms for acrobatic diving, and small coves in a coral reef. Everything is cozy, cleanliness and safety are monitored everywhere.
The territory itself is huge. 8 buildings with a very interesting location. For those who are too lazy to move around in the heat, there is a shuttle that will take you anywhere within the hotel.

Great hotel. It's very beautiful. Nice sea beach, in the bay, fenced. Great view from the pool. A huge villa-type room with a huge terrace. The food is very varied and delicious, 2-3 types of meat are always available. There are 5 restaurants on site.
The only thing is, this is a hotel for young people. If you are settled in the 7th building, then walk about 15 minutes to the main building. Of course there is a bus, but you have to wait for it.

A gorgeous hotel. The territory of torii is beautiful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and the sea view is amazing. They clean well. There are many restaurants, a large selection of food, delicious. Of the drinks, you can only drink mojitos, the rest is all local disgusting swill. Delicious coffee in the lobby bar on the 1st floor. There are few children, because there are no slides - and that's fine. Quiet, calm, the contingent of vacationers is decent. There is no pandemonium, everything is quiet in the restaurants. Corals and fish are beautiful in the royal lagoon. The animation is not very interesting. The hotel is well guarded - it is safe on site. The staff is polite and friendly, smiling, and speak Russian well. I really liked the hotel. I definitely recommend it, for a relaxing romantic holiday it is an ideal option.

We had a rest with my mother from 11.09 2023 to 09/20/2023 (We went on the recommendation of friends). A chic hotel, European music (mostly cover versions of famous hits), all rooms with sea views, few children, Russian tourists about 20%, Arabs 30% and Germans, Austria, Slovakia, Belgium 50%. Delicious food, the hotel and the beach are clean, the room cleaning is excellent, towels, bed linen are in excellent condition. There are many locations for photos and where you can sit and drink wine and coffee. There is no silly animation in the evenings, live music, performers and performances change every evening. I have not found a single minus for myself, I will definitely come back!

The hotel is located near Hurghada on the first and only first line. The territory is closed, it is not a passageway, there are no outsiders. The territory is large, so an open bus runs along it So So, travels along the route from the beaches along the streets covering most places, this is transport for lazy people or for familiarization. The coastline is 1.5 km.There is a basic quite decent buffet restaurant almost around the clock and la carte restaurants by appointment.There is also a lobby bar and beach bars. Local beer without restrictions in bottling and import in containers for an additional fee. Our inadequate savage compatriots brazenly and demanding tried even to get beer in half a cup, but they were refused, I was ashamed.
There is a pleasure boat in its own bay. Lagoons for children in different parts of the coastline. The bartender from the beach bar brought cocktails to the deck chairs every 40 minutes, an hour. The beach staff accompanied you to the chaise longue with a mattress, after which they covered your tracks with a special "mop". Columns with fresh water showers are installed on the beach. In the water, be sure to use shoes for the coral bottom where there are no ladders.The sea is teeming with fish of all possible colors and sizes, I recommend a full-fledged mask and a waterproof phone case.
There are souvenir shops and a shop with free ice cream on the waterfront. There are heated pools and a gym. A great paid massage.
The rooms are a separate story that you will probably find anywhere else.He lived in a deluxe room with stone walls, always fresh fruit. If you leave at least 1 dollar on the bed, then replace some nice changes. Things after tourist trips can be handed over to the laundress, for this purpose a package is provided in the room. It's impossible to describe everything, but you won't regret it for sure.
And now for those who have read to the end.
I was at this hotel at the opening, when not a single fly was sitting in it and a 12-night tour in double deluxe cost $ 1,500.

A great place to relax. Everything is great! You have to be prepared that the fortress hotel is great, you have to walk a lot, although if with a stroller, it's not very convenient.

A chic hotel...These thoughts arise when a foot crosses the threshold of this hotel. Stunning sea views from the lobby, a gorgeous promenade with a marina, lots of bars and restaurants. Unfortunately, I was in January and I couldn't enjoy all the charm of staying at this hotel and the sea. There are many pools, there was one warm one where you could swim comfortably. And if it weren't for the wind, it would be possible to skimp in the sea.
The room was given in the 6th building, which is quite far from the main restaurant, but there is a shuttle service on the territory, and it takes only 7 minutes to walk. The room is old, you can feel it. But, the view from the balcony is something. In general, the Red Sea is fascinating... the whole hotel is decorated with coral, which is the feature of the hotel. The food is quite varied, they cook well. There are good drinks at the bar. Delicious coffee, ice cream...in general, in principle, there is everything for recreation, so as not to deny yourself anything. The hotel is aimed at guests + 16, there were no small children at all, but it will be hard with children there - steps everywhere, a vast territory. There is a big problem with room cards that stop working, but going to the reception solves it.
I would like to mention the Golden Buddha! The restaurant is paid, but it's worth it! Very interesting decoration of the restaurant, delicious seafood, so if there is an opportunity, it is definitely worth going!
Of course, it's possible to just get out and go outside the hotel, but there's nothing there, the desert and walking to the nearest busy area is a very unwise idea. But you don't really want to leave the hotel, because there is everything you need. The shops at the hotel have a souvenir shop, bottled oils, bathing accessories, etc.
This is probably one of the few hotels where I would like to return again! The hotel is very unusual and memorable! It's worth the money for sure!

The hotel is lovely. You lose the feeling that you are in Egypt. The large territory of the hotel is very clean and well maintained. The food is delicious, lots of fruits, and there is always fresh orange for breakfast. We have been to Egypt many times, this hotel is definitely the best. We will come back more than once.

The hotel justifies its stars. A large well-groomed territory, a huge beach, an embankment. Good food, quite varied, but not the Turkish version. The staff is polite and tries their best. The hotel is big, but people can only be seen in the restaurant and in the evening at the show. 1st and 2nd buildings, facing the sea and the embankment - it will be noisy. It's quiet in building 7-8. Rooms with a large terrace and sea view. Please note: the hotel is located on terraces, so there are many stairs. But, there is a bus running through the territory, so it is convenient. Definitely, I recommend it.

The location of the hotel is very good, right on the beach. Sand, soft entrance to the water. Not deep. The food is good, there are a lot of things, of course the food is monotonous, but still.(dishes for many days too))) A quiet hotel for a relaxing and leisurely stay.

Everything is fine, of course. But we returned to this hotel again. And again, the Internet does not work periodically (yes, it is important who works all the time ) This problem turned out to be eternal and the hotel just can't explain the reason . Just wait.

Amazing hotel in Hurghada! Of course, it's a bit far to walk to the room in the heat. But you can wait for the bass or shake off the hike, after eating a lot of food) The territory is clean, pleasant style. There is not enough greenery, but this is Egypt) The animation is weak. Overall, everything is very positive. I want to come back🔆

We were at the hotel in April 2024. There weren't many people. We checked in quickly, we were lucky the room was in the 2nd building of the Marina. For some, this may be a minus, since the evening disco is in front of him and do not expect silence. There were always sun beds by the pool. The entrance to the sea is only in slippers. It is better to buy in advance. The hotel has one store, where they cost $15. There are always a lot of waiters everywhere. It was cleaned daily, there is always water everywhere. A wonderful team of animators, mostly Italians, but as we understood, they left with us. The food for breakfast is very monotonous. But overall we liked it.

The skazka hotel, top-level service, the most competently planned hotel, very polite staff, almost everyone speaks Russian. Fabulous sea, near the reef. For those who like to splash around quietly, there are lagoons. A la carte dinners are free of charge once during the rest period. The food is very tasty. The only disadvantage is that it is far from the road, to the city only by taxi

The Red Sea and the Citadel Hotel are the best combination for a holiday in such a beautiful place in Egypt. We visited many countries, but this complex just amazed us and made us fall in love with ourselves!
