The first time we went as a family (2 + 1) to 4-ku (before that there were 5-ki), and the first time to Albatross. The price was $880 for 7 nights, so we didn't expect much. Especially after reading the reviews. We arrived at 13, left the luggage in front of the entrance, the whole company was taken to a cafe with a beautiful view of the sea, put on bracelets and sent for lunch.

The first time we went as a family (2 + 1) to 4-ku (before that there were 5-ki), and the first time to Albatross. The price was $880 for 7 nights, so we didn't expect much. Especially after reading the reviews. We arrived at 13, left the luggage in front of the entrance, the whole company was taken to a cafe with a beautiful view of the sea, put on bracelets and sent for lunch. The restaurant on the rock offers a gorgeous view of the bay and the old city, especially in the evening. For that alone, it's worth visiting.
Food for a 4 is decent - everything is essentially, without stupid salads in mayonnaise and the same sandwiches from not eaten the day before: grill for lunch and dinner, fish in different versions, there were always delicious grilled shrimp, beef, turkey, duck, chicken, lula kebab. Breakfasts and side dishes are standard, I didn’t like soups. Delicious pies for breakfast, no pancakes, different puffs and croissants - goodbye figure. Vegetables and fruits in sufficient assortment, alcohol is standard. Tasty coffee. Drinks - local standard, no frills. They are offered and served by the waiters. The queue is just for the omelet.
Room - for a reasonable surcharge settled in the Family Room, requested in advance in a letter. There were no surprises, because carefully read the reviews. Take a hair dryer and a fumigator with you. The bedding and towels are white, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable, the furniture is old. EVERYWHERE is perfect cleanliness - both in the room and in the restaurant, bar, on the territory, which is small, but very cozy, a lot of greenery. Very beautiful photos are obtained on the territory itself, and the landscapes overlooking the bay, the sunsets are magical. 1 swimming pool - 130 cm - heated, adult - 170 cm - without. There are no slides.
The sea is clean, transparent, gentle entry, sand. There are not enough fish, there is no reef, but snorkelers will find something to do on the wild beach. There are a lot of ours, they rest with towels on the sand. There the sea is livelier, with waves, and there will be more fish. The reef is there, but weak. Corals are required. I would like to call a feature of this hotel friendly, professional staff, where you feel like in a big, friendly family. To go or not to go is an individual matter, depending on the price and what you are looking for. Paying $1000 for 2 and then resenting the discrepancy between the service and the cost of the tour is better to find something more worthy. But if at a promotional price, as we are happy to come again!

Very atmospheric hotel because of the location on the cliff. The sea is excellent, the entry into the sea is cleared of stones, there is something like a reef, but I wanted more. There are fish, a wide variety. We saw moray eels, and stingrays, and stone fish, and flounder, and squid, and everything familiar to the Red Sea.

Since the beach is for three hotels, sunbeds need to be borrowed in advance. After 8:00 there are no free ones. Very atmospheric hotel because of the location on the cliff.

The food is ok for a 4* hotel. Fish, beef, chicken, turkey, squid, once shrimp were given. Fruits and vegetables in sufficient quantities.
The territory is small, but well-groomed, green. The staff and animation are top notch. The girls Julia and Maryana are great, they are trying!!!
Rooms - a very big sadness!! ! The number of the main building 1309 is small, two-room with a view of the garden. Nowhere to dry wet towels and swimwear!! ! There is a small wall-mounted dryer in the bathroom, but it's very humid and things don't dry overnight. I had to hang them all over the room with garlands on all horizontal surfaces. The air conditioners are poor and non-working. Of the two rooms, I only worked in one. The plane during takeoff is quieter than this air conditioner. As long as we didn't use it! it flows constantly. Endless puddles on the floor. Constantly from the ventilation dripped water on his head. For two days they asked to change the room, but they stayed to live in this. The offers were even worse. They even refunded the fee.
There is a mosque not far from the hotel. For whom a night's sleep is important, I warn you, at 4:20 namaz (prayer) and this is very audible in the room. Sleep is unrealistic.
Sea, bay for 5+. Food 4. Rooms 3- (a stretch). An average of 4.
In general, you can relax, if you do not have big illusions.

I will write briefly with a photo report, judge for yourself! We love Egypt and the Red Sea very much! We rested in Beach Albatross in Hurghada three times and were very pleased, so without hesitation we bought a tour to the same network only Sharm, but this is heaven and earth! We stopped at the hotel at 22 yesterday 12.09, immediately gave $ 30 for a normal room. The reception is something, well, okay, they put on the bracelets right away and then it started! We are with two children, a room for 4. To say that this is a pipe is to say nothing - a stall for cattle! Here is my resume! Reviewed 6 numbers, but to no avail, as they are all the same! The stench in this stable is impossible, at 01.00, the children are sleeping at the super reception, so it was decided to stay at least somewhere where there was less stink! But upon arrival at the miracle of the family room, a surprise awaited us, the door was not only not closed with a key, it didn’t want to close at all, when asked to do something, they answered “everything is fine”)))))) I had to prop it up with an excellent chair.
Dirt is everywhere, the furniture is terrible, the bathroom is full of fungus, where there should be a TV, it simply is not there), air conditioners are something. We woke up and went to decide with the resettlement, looked at three more rooms and among these we chose at least a little cleaner and with a TV. The food is tolerable, the choice is not large, but there is no smell of Albatross and their network here. There is a plus - the hotel area is clean, green, we have not yet reached the sea, since we had a quest by numbers. Photos are attached, everyone chooses for himself. But we are completely disappointed and here even for a penny, not a foot!

Daily housekeeping.
The kitchen is amazing, special thanks to the chefs who cook in plain sight. Delicious desserts, tea
(namely them) and coffee (from the bartender).
Bartenders, waiters are responsive, do their job efficiently.
Also a very cool seller in the market, will help - than he can, unobtrusive.
We highly recommend staying there

We rested at the hotel with my family in August 2021. Only positive emotions. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. Immediately put on bracelets and invited to breakfast. We were waiting for the settlement a little more than others, because we wanted to live in a bungalow. But this did not bother us, we were immediately offered cards on a towel for the beach.

We were waiting for the settlement a little more than others, because we wanted to live in a bungalow. But this did not bother us, we were immediately offered cards on a towel for the beach. The room is simple but quite spacious for 3 people. There were 12 clothes hangers in the closet, so you don't have to bring your own. Also a spacious bathroom with a huge mirror and shower. The air conditioner is built-in, it cools quickly, it was turned off at night, the comfortable temperature was enough until the morning. Cleaning every day, very high quality. Cleaned us Ahmed, with whom we became friends. The staff are all very friendly. At a meeting, they will always ask: "How are you? Is everything okay? "
The territory is very clean, the tiles are constantly washed, the plants are watered, the flower beds are weeded. The cleanliness of the apartment. Garbage bins every 5 - 10 meters in the form of clay pots. A huge plus is the proximity to the sea. Descent by elevator. And a gorgeous view from the hotel to the sea and mountains. Even from other hotels came to the photo session. On the first night, we woke up from the sounds of prayers, it was not usual, and then we didn’t even hear her. The food selection is huge. Especially the pastry, it's great!! ! And special attention is to animation and especially to animators. They are awesome, keep it up!! ! And if you also encourage the staff a little for their work in such heat, then you won’t even have to go up to the bar, they will run up to you. Also on the beach, you will be occupied by wonderful best places, although there are always enough places. So I recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to all the hotel staff. Service at the level!!! !

The hotel does not meet the specified 4. But this is not the main thing. The feeling that you get into the USSR Zatoka, Alushta, etc. that you are to blame for everything. At the Club Hause bar, please give 2 glasses of NO ALCOHOL! ! ! ! ! They will say "cameras are not good here" and be rude. Food also wants to be better, a small range .

Food also wants to be better, a small range ...Rooms are small, and the shower in general ...if your height is more than 160 cm, you almost have to bend down to wash, but there is a plasma TV))). Now probably someone will say "we came to the sea, and the rooms, service does not matter", you will be right, only in one case! ! ! ! ! If for the first time in Egypt! ! ! ! ! And the sea in Egypt is beautiful everywhere! There are hotels with a smooth sunset, there are through the pontoon, who likes what. It is a pity that such a network of "Albatross" is so lowered ...About the price for 2 adults 850 y. at. , in March were in Makadi Bay "SUNRISE Royal Makadi Resort-Select" for 2 adults and 2 children paid 1350 at. BC and this hotel is EXTRAORDINARY, you feel human there! More about this hotel.
There is a contingent here, which includes "thuggish" Russian songs that scream and shout hotel music. And when people ask the administration to help, the latter pretend they don't understand. So before you make your choice in this "super" hotel, think twice! ! ! ! !

I did not like only the beach, it is one for three hotels chain, often there were no seats on sunbeds. Overall a nice impression of the hotel for a small price.

We arrived at 20.00, immediately put on bracelets and sent for dinner, there was nothing special to eat, drank lemonade and went to check in. They settled in bungalow 3019, everything worked in the room, the plumbing was new, but there was always a puddle under the toilet, and no one fixed this malfunction in 10 days, the furniture was dead, the bedding was clean, but of course not far from new, because in We only spent the night in the room, so we didn’t really bother.

If you want to get enough sleep at night, then this hotel is not for you - at 3.20 a prayer sounds (as one of the guests put it, "it feels like it's singing under my door. " It's better to go to the beach very early, because many cunning tourists take sunbeds almost from the night, of course you can lie down, but lying without an umbrella under the shining sun is not very pleasant. Food. . . from the category of hunger fainting you will be saved, but no more. Out of 10 days we tried to have dinner 3 times, and all were unsuccessful A cook on the grill can spoil any dish, even when he cooks an omelette - it is raw, it is better not to try to eat pancakes, if he bakes - a medium)) stick to your teeth. The animators are dead, in the evening children's animation is the same program, even children get bored, sometimes there was live music, oriental dances, but this is not the merit of the animators. There is a bar on the beach, it also serves vacationers on the beach from two other hotels - queues, there are waiters on the beach who, if you didn’t give him money, then they won’t bring water to the dying. The only one who pleasantly surprised me was the beach cleaner guy, he didn’t sit for a minute - he cleans every piece of paper, a bag, a glass, washes sunbeds, all day like a bee. Not far from the hotel - the old town, where you can eat and treat yourself to something. If you are ready for additional expenses, such as buying food, looking for entertainment, going to a restaurant, then you can safely go, if not, then don’t even try. By the way, the contingent of vacationers is 50+, the feeling that you are in a Soviet boarding house, where grandmothers walk in flannel robes and perms.

I signed up for the staff, but I first heard about my DN there. I was a little upset ...Because we were planning to have dinner in the Old Town. If you are planning to celebrate your birthday, do not expect this hotel!
I was staying with my homeland (4 adults) in this hotel, room 3028 is the first hotel built in Sharm el-Sheikh, the hotel is located on the first shoreline, on a hill with a magnificent view of the Red Sea and the Sinai Mountains. The hotel is located near the Old Town - 700 m.
The beach from the hotel is large - 900 m, descent to the beach by stairs or elevator. The beach is clean, the beach has enough sunbeds and umbrellas.
Walking by the sea from the shore (without a pontoon), there are almost no corals as such, but if you walk 5 minutes to the left of Albatross Beach, there is a wild beach and there are just incredible corals and colorful fish. There is also a large swimming pool near the hotel, beach towels are issued by the hotel manager upon check-in, and there is a booth by the pool where these towels can be taken daily. You can swim in the sea until sunset, in the pool until 18:00. Also at sea there are animators who entertain every day as they can: yoga, water fitness, volleyball, darts, and there was a foam party in the pool, interesting. The area is very well maintained, lots of greenery, everything is just perfect, nothing to complain about. Every night workers treat the area from mosquitoes and insects.
There is a main restaurant on site. -22:30. For those who want to continue there are parties on yachts and in closed clubs ($ 10-15).
The hotel itself is quite stretched, there is a sea view, a view of the cottage, a view of the pool.
We had a room booked with a view of the garden or the pool, but we were lucky and we got a room with a view of the sea and the mountains. Rooms are clean and well-groomed, nothing is shabby, in each room (we have two bedrooms and a living room) air conditioning, warm water in the shower, everything works smoothly, near the house was a small terrace where you can admire the evening landscape. The staff is attentive, all very nice.
The food is varied, we really liked the cuisine, a large selection of different dishes: always two types of soup, rice, grilled potatoes, breaded vegetables, stewed beef, chicken, grilled chicken, steaks, quail, fish, squid, pasta, pizza , various omelets prepared by the chef, pancakes, sausages, sausages, cheeses, cheese, milk with different meat yuslyami, yogurts different, many greens, beet salads, carrots, lettuce leaves, salads different in sauces, fruits (watermelon, melon, apples, oranges, dates), pastries are very tasty, we have not tried everything, tea and surprisingly good coffee (espresso, Americano with milk, latte). On the beach from 10:30 there were snacks: hot dog, hamburger, french fries, sauces, salads.
Alcohol and beverages: whiskey, rum, wine, beer, juices, yuppies, milkshakes, alcoholic cocktails such as "Sex on the Beach", "Blue Lagoon", well, in principle, normal, of course it's not Jack Daniels, but the hotel is not premium.
Excursions: we took from the tour operator sailing on a yacht - $ 50/1 person, diving was in question, the guide said that you can buy for $ 5 on the yacht, if desired, but the price of the yacht was $ 15, well, I convinced them That $ 15 - it's fantastic and still for $ 5 was diving, also took a tour of the desert on ATVs to meet the sun, at the hotel $ 15, and we took in the Old Town for $ 10. Cairo is closed, Israel is closed.
I would also recommend buying shrimp on the market for $ 12 kg (very large and bombshell in garlic sauce), shampoo, balm, very good teas, cold pressed oils. Only on a free tour from the tour operator, these oils, souvenirs are ten times more expensive than if you walk around the market and buy.
The conclusion is this: we had everything perfect: weather, sea, food, excursions! The only thing is that the hours are very short, the week flew by unnoticed!
We left a tip for a dollar, but they love our chocolate, you can leave a chocolate instead of $!

Excursions: we took from the tour operator sailing on a yacht - $ 50/1 person, diving was in question, the guide said that you can buy for $ 5 on the yacht, if desired, but the price of the yacht was $ 15, well, I convinced them That $ 15 - it's fantastic and still for $ 5 was diving, also took a tour of the desert on ATVs to meet the sun, at the hotel $ 15, and we took in the Old Town for $ 10. Cairo is closed, Israel is closed.
I would also recommend buying shrimp on the market for $ 12 kg (very large and bombshell in garlic sauce), shampoo, balm, very good teas, cold pressed oils. Only on a free tour from the tour operator, these oils, souvenirs are ten times more expensive than if you walk around the market and buy.
The conclusion is this: we had everything perfect: weather, sea, food, excursions! The only thing is that the hours are very short, the week flew by unnoticed!
We left a tip for a dollar, but they love our chocolate, you can leave a chocolate instead of $!

If you take a tour for 7 days for 11-18 thousand UAH, you want to see a gorgeous reef near the hotel, eat delicious food and relax, but at the same time you are ready not to get enough sleep because of bad mattresses, non-working air conditioning and repairs at night, then feel free to take this hotel. If the tour costs more on your dates, I do not recommend it.

If you take a tour for 7 days for 11-18 thousand UAH, you want to see a gorgeous reef near the hotel, eat delicious food and relax, but at the same time you are ready not to get enough sleep because of bad mattresses, non-working air conditioning and repairs at night, then feel free to take this hotel. If the tour costs more on your dates, I do not recommend it.
PROS:
• LOCATION is its biggest advantage. Firstly, a lively beautiful reef is a 3-minute walk from the hotel beach: stingrays, lionfish, butterfly fish and many other inhabitants of the Red Sea. The hotel beach is a dead reef, but fish also swim there, there are colored clams. Secondly, the hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the old city with a mosque and a market.
• FOOD is good. There are always several types of meat (veal, chicken, quail, stewed, boiled, with sauces on the grill), several types of seafood (fish, squid, grilled king prawns 2 times in 7 days), vegetables (grilled, stewed, under sauce), breakfasts, salads and sweets - very weak, cocktails - none.
• CONCEPT - a relaxing holiday. Most of the animation takes place on the beach: exercises, zumba, yoga, beach volleyball. So at the pool in the morning and afternoon - everything is at your disposal, as in a private villa in Tuscany. Mini-disco in the evening, very weak competitions, disco (no one dances). Everything ends at 11 and peace and quiet sets in (there are also disadvantages on this matter, read below "Numbers and repairs"). Animators are pleasant, unobtrusive.
• STAFF is mostly pleasant and genuinely willing to help. We were quickly settled, they gave us a choice of rooms at no extra charge (read "Rooms and Repairs").
MINUSES:
• ROOMS and REPAIR - the biggest disadvantage of the hotel. As far as we know, it has been closed for about 5 years and is currently undergoing renovations. In the middle of the night, a grinder was cutting boards. The rooms are bad (were in 5 different ones). Air conditioners everywhere are old and broken, condensate drips, they rumble terribly, the modes do not change. Mattresses and pillows sagging. The furniture is old. Repairs were made in the family rooms, as we understood, the rest are 69 years old.
• CLEANLINESS - Cleaning is a problem. The hotel was closed for 5 years and no one bothered with cleaning before opening. Everything is dirty, glass, paintings, curtains, linen are stained, drains are clogged in the rooms, disinfectants are everywhere, but not one of them is filled with a product.
• GUIDE AND EXCURSIONS from Anex Tour. Were in Cairo, safari on ATVs and on the boat trip "Mermaid" for $ 100 per person.
Cairo is more or less sane, but keep in mind that the museum has half moved to a new location and some of the exhibits are gone, it will take 2 hours to go shopping.
Safari - the guide promises 1.5 hours on ATVs, 30 minutes in total and another 30 minutes of just standing at the "Bedouins", where they will not offer you tea or tell you anything. They don’t take them to the desert, 1 km there on a terrible road - 1 km back. Everything. "The Little Mermaid" - they promise to take them to the Ras Mohammed reserve, but in the end it turns out that the entire territory (including our hotel) is all Ras Mohammed, as a designation of the region. You are driven a couple of kilometers there, a couple back around the hotel. It is clear that the guide from Aneks will describe it all to you in a wrong way and will be very friendly until you ask the question: why is everything not as he told. )
