The room was spacious and comfortable, and it was always kept clean. Breakfast was plentiful and served perfectly. The hotel had a great atmosphere, mainly thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. Special thanks to Ahmed Achref for his consistently pleasant service, and to Karim at the reception for his warm hospitality. The hotel's location—right in front of the cable ski lake—is unique, and the seating on the sandy shore was exceptional.

One of the most appealing aspects of this lodge is its tranquil atmosphere. The property is designed in such a way that it feels like a serene oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist spots. This was the ideal setting to unwind and enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet. The staff at Wadi Sabarah Lodge went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was exceptional. In particular, Nabil and his team at the restaurant made my dining experience truly memorable. Their warm and friendly demeanor, coupled with their attentive service, made every meal a delight. Speaking of the food, I was thrilled to discover that the lodge offers a restaurant-style dining experience instead of the typical buffet. The dishes were delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The architecture of Wadi Sabarah Lodge is absolutely stunning. The design pays homage to Egypt's rich history and culture while incorporating modern elements that make for a truly unique and visually captivating experience. My room was spacious and elegantly decorated, featuring a lovely terrace with a breathtaking sea view – the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. For book lovers and history buffs, the lodge's beautiful library is a treasure trove of knowledge. It houses an extensive collection of books on Egypt and art, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and history during their stay. Lastly, the botanic garden at Wadi Sabarah Lodge is a hidden gem. Dr. Irina, a knowledgeable specialist, oversees the garden and is always eager to share her passion for the flora and fauna found within. The garden is meticulously maintained, and walking through it feels like stepping into a verdant paradise. In conclusion, Wadi Sabarah Lodge is a truly exceptional hotel that offers guests a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and cultural enrichment. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating vacation in Egypt.

Their knowledge of the local area was outstanding, providing fantastic recommendations for places to visit and dine. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to both the beach and the city center. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-located place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

    This was a recommendation from an Egyptian friend and because i trust his taste I went for it despite finding my favorite franchise within same area and i cannot express how thankful I am for choosing this hotel because it's an experience and shame to spend less than one week in it. I had the best welcoming from Mr. Said at the reception and best companionship and assistance from Mrs. Radwa she was very supportive on every request and when we have none she would check if we needed anything. Last Mr. Adel was very understanding and supportive during our checkout, and wouldn't be an unforgettable experience without these guys. Now about the resport, it's a real five start and i believe it stands out from other hotels in the area, I've been in so many places with similar services in multiple countries but I'd place this resort on thop without hesitation for it combines the outstanding facility amazing room views, multiple choices of food (do not miss Tajine restaurant prepared by the amazing Chef Souad), beaches, lagoons & pools for every taste. I know I'm coming back and I know where I am staying, so I do recommend it to all.

    Our experience at Pickalbatros White Beach Resort was nothing short of amazing. The property is beautifully designed, with immaculate landscaping and stunning pools that create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated, offering breathtaking views of the Red Sea. What stood out the most was the exceptional hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, always greeting us with warm smiles and attentive service. The variety of dining options was impressive, with delicious food catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. The location is perfect—situated right on a pristine beach with crystal-clear waters. It was great for both relaxing and enjoying water sports. The resort also offers a range of activities for families and couples alike, from lively entertainment programs to tranquil spots for unwinding. Overall, Pickalbatros White Beach Resort is a top-notch destination for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Hurghada in comfort and style. We can’t wait to come back!

    The resort is beautifully designed, they have lots of flowers and palm trees that really are taken care of. the rooms are spacious, the cleaning couldn’t be better and the staff is very attentive if you tip. The food was delicious and a lot of variety, even at breakfast time. Every evening they have a different specific cuisine so you can’t get bored. we also tried both of the restaurants: vista mare and the fish restaurant and both were delicious. I can’t understand how people can complain about the food, as we read online in Egypt you can really have problems with the food but here it’s not the case. As for the animation, the animation team is fun, we participated almost in every activity and we really enjoyed it. The resort also has a jogging trail that we ran every day. We will definitely come again here because we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Cleopatra & thank you to all the people that made our stay feel so pleasant. Hakuna matata!

    Attention to details, guests were made feel at home by the caring staff which was extraordinary focused to serve customers. Really a big thank you to the fantastic Oberoi staff! We really felt cared for by everyone. They even prepared special food for our ten months old baby. The manager came to check on us regularly and everyone made us feel at home. Also the quiet, beautiful Nubian style wide spread out property was wonderful. We valued having privacy on the beach, no hassle and pure relaxation in a calming atmosphere. Rare to find such places like the Oberoi around Hurghada that is packed with mostly massive all inclusive loud animation tourist hubs. Def will stay again at the Oberoi when visiting Hurghada! We already look forward to it ☺️!!

The food variety is great with different themes every night. They have light entertainment event night during dinner. The resort is located by the airport and on the city walk, which is convenient proximity.

    Hurghada is a very busy place and popular with all nationalities. I was diving every day so 8 hours a day at sea. I didn't use the shopping centre this time but have done so in the past and it was great. It used to be that you would get harassed continually by traders but not so much these days they really have backed off. I know my daughters found that intimidating when they were younger but today its fine.

    I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea goes. My favourite place of all time is the Concorde Moreen Hotel, with the Hilton coming a strong second. We only ate at the hotels, because our time was limited. I used the taxi service offered online by Booking.com, which I found to be very efficient and reasonable. But I am also a seasoned traveller in Egypt and do not find it difficult to negotiate with taxi drivers. (It can be very useful to ask Chat GPT first what an average trip should cost you, if you are unsure, and then use that as a guideline for your negotiations.) It's an amazing experience to go out on a boat, but picking the right one can make the difference. I will be leaving my review on our experience separately (as it warrants a whole story on its own :))

    Some places offer excellent takeaway food.

    Some places offer excellent takeaway food. There is a public beach a little further away (a short walk across a small desert area) with exceptional underwater flora and fauna. Bring shoes for walking in the water. Please stay above or near the coral (personally, I didn't know there were risks to swimming too far from the reefs, namely sharks. But I didn't see any. On the other hand, there were some exceptional fish! Port Ghalib is a tourist spot but much, much quieter than Hurghada. If someone tries to sell you something, just say ‘La, chokram’ with a smile and everything will be fine. Don't forget to tip a little, as Egyptians earn very little (around €400 per month for a family of four). For activities, I recommend Royal Sea Tours (royalsea-tours.com), who are really great.

    Very nice and friendly locals!

    Very nice and friendly locals! Not many tourists, no aggressive salesmen. The city is not rich, so expect some garbage lying around. Prices are generally very low, not adjusted for tourists (except at nearby hotels). We found only a few restaurants, but many fastfood places.
