02Overview
A first look
Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort sits on Hurghada's Red Sea coast with on-site waterslides and direct beach access. We add private transfers and snorkel or dive trips from Hurghada Marina to most bookings.
Background
The facts
Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada is a four-star hotel on Safaga Road in Hurghada, Egypt. The property is a resort-style base with direct beach access and an on-site aqua park, rather than a city-centre hotel.
The hotel is on the coastal road south of Hurghada city centre. Hurghada is a Red Sea resort city, and Safaga Road serves a stretch of coastal hotel developments.
The property has multiple outdoor pools, water slides, children’s pools, a spa, a gym and family-room configurations. Its board basis is hard all inclusive, with buffet dining and selected drinks; premium drinks, speciality restaurants and some other charges may cost extra.
Wi-Fi is available in public areas. Pool and beach access, gym use and non-motorised beach equipment are subject to supplier terms.

Suited to
Is this for you?
Yes, if
- This four-star resort suits families with school-age children who want water slides, pools and beach access in one Hurghada stay. Couples and small groups may also value the all-inclusive board and on-site facilities, but should expect a lively daytime atmosphere rather than a quiet boutique setting.
Maybe not, if
- Choose a smaller hotel if you prioritise quiet surroundings or a dining-led stay. The resort may also be a poor fit if you prefer to spend most of your holiday exploring outside the property.
What lingers
- 01Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada has an on-site waterpark and children's facilities, reducing daily transfers.
- 02Red Sea beach access for reef snorkelling; boat excursions and dive trips depart from Hurghada Marina nearby.
- 03Multiple on-site restaurants and evening entertainment minimise the need to travel into central Hurghada after sunset.
- 04We arrange private transfers from Hurghada International Airport and meet-and-greet services on arrival.
- 05Busy with families during Egyptian and European school holidays; expect queues at slides and limited pool quiet.

Check the selected rate’s board basis before booking, and ask which meals, drinks and venues it covers. If you have dietary requirements, confirm these directly with the hotel in advance rather than assuming a particular menu or provision is available.

Tailor it
Make it yours
Ask about available room configurations and any room preferences when making an enquiry. Airport transfers are excluded, so confirm arrangements separately; spa treatments and some dining or drink options may also carry additional charges.
All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.
Where it fits
Use this Hurghada stay as a beach break before or after a Cairo or Luxor visit. Its pool and water-slide facilities make it a different pace from a sightseeing-focused stay.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The resort has mostly level public areas, but access is not step-free throughout. Tiled and paved paths connect the lobby, main restaurant and pool terraces, with short ramps in some areas. Pool surrounds can be wet and slippery, and the beach ends in soft sand. The aqua park has stairs, ladders and slide access points that are not wheelchair-accessible. Some room entrances and balconies may also have steps. Wheelchair access to the main entrance and some ground-floor rooms may be possible, subject to room availability. Tell us about mobility needs before booking so we can check room access with the resort.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Children of all ages are accepted, subject to the room’s maximum occupancy. The resort sets child rates and extra-bed charges; reduced rates or free stays for young children sharing a room may apply, but confirm the exact price and bedding before booking. Lightweight strollers are practical in many public areas, though wet surfaces around pools can be slippery. High chairs are usually available in the family buffet restaurant on request. Provide each child’s age when enquiring.
Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.

Local staff work across the resort’s restaurants, bars and aqua park, supporting hospitality employment in Hurghada. We work with the resort supplier directly to arrange your stay. Ask us whether shared transport or a private transfer in a newer minibus is available for your dates.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01Is Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada good for families?
Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada suits families, with a water park on site and a range of family rooms. It can get busy during school holidays and while pool entertainment is on. Shade may be limited around midday, and noise can rise in high season; we can request rooms away from the main pools for more peaceful evenings.02What’s the best way to travel from Hurghada International Airport to Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada?
We can arrange a private transfer between Hurghada International Airport and the resort. The journey duration varies with traffic and flight times, and guests are met on arrival. Should you prefer a shared shuttle or meet-and-greet service, let us know when booking and we’ll check availability.03Does the water park cost extra at Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada?
Guest access to the on-site water park is commonly included with accommodation, but policies vary by rate and season. Some premium slides or specific time slots can carry supplements. We check inclusions at booking and can advise or upgrade access where the hotel applies surcharges.04Are meals and drinks included at Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada?
Board basis varies between room-only, half-board and all-inclusive at Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada. Your booking confirmation shows the exact meal plan, restaurant opening times and any drink inclusions. We can request special-diet arrangements in advance, though final provision depends on hotel facilities.05Is Pickalbatros Aqua Park Resort Hurghada quiet in the evenings for couples?
The resort is geared towards families and can be lively, particularly in high season and by the pools. Couples seeking calmer evenings can request a room on a higher floor or away from the entertainment areas. We can suggest other places to stay in Hurghada with more of an adults-only atmosphere.06What should I bring to the on-site water park at the resort?
Bring high-factor sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, water shoes and a waterproof phone pouch for the on-site water park. Also carry a reusable water bottle, cash or card for extras, and a small first-aid kit for blisters.

CairoBarceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel, Giza
Barceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel sits on the Giza edge, with rooftop terraces that face Khufu and Khafre. We use this hotel when clients want a clear pyramid view without staying on the plateau itself. The hotel provides a rooftop pool, an on-site restaurant and rooms with direct pyramid views when available. It is approximately a 10–15 minute private-car transfer to the Giza Plateau; traffic can lengthen journeys to central Cairo and the Egyptian Museum (typically 30–45 minutes). Expect some road noise on the main approach road, and book pyramid-view rooms early–they are limited.

AswanBasma, Citymax – Aswan
Basma, Citymax is a straightforward, budget hotel in Aswan that we book for short stays and practical, city-based itineraries. We arrange private transfers, arrival logistics and local support for excursions. Unlike Nile-side resorts, Basma, Citymax focuses on practical rooms and town access rather than extensive leisure facilities. Expect simpler facilities than larger hotels and limited on-site dining or spa services; it's a value choice rather than a resort. We often pair stays here with Abu Simbel transfers and Aswan sightseeing. Discovery Tours Egypt is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we can include Basma, Citymax in bespoke Aswan programmes.

We can add private snorkelling guides, scuba lessons and transfers to Hurghada Airport.
