Worth knowing

How this compares

Most hotel rates distinguish between meal plans and optional extras. Here, Hard All Inclusive is listed, while premium drinks, speciality dining and spa treatments may cost extra.

All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.

Accessibility

Who can join this

The resort is described as having gently sloping grounds and paved paths between the lobby, pools and beach. Sand and uneven ground at the shoreline can make moving around the beach difficult, particularly in a manual wheelchair. Some pool edges and beach access points have steps, and not every pool has a ramp. Elevators serve public areas and most guest-room blocks, but some garden-level bungalows may have small steps. Accessible rooms are limited, so ask us to check the room layout and availability before booking. If you need a roll-in shower, pool hoist or beach access mat, please enquire in advance so we can confirm what the hotel can provide.

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel operates its own accommodation, dining and leisure facilities. We do not have verified, property-specific data on its energy use, water consumption, waste handling or supplier policies, so we cannot make a measured environmental claim. Guests travelling to Hurghada generally reach the resort by road. If we arrange a transfer, we use a locally contracted, air-conditioned vehicle with seat belts; the vehicle type depends on the booking. The hotel employs staff in Hurghada and the surrounding area, although we cannot confirm local employment figures or the share of food sourced nearby. Ask us before booking if you need current information on the hotel’s water, linen or recycling practices.

·In summary

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01Is breakfast included with my Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada booking?

   Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate you booked (room-only, bed-and-breakfast or half-board). Your booking confirmation will state the meal basis; if it’s unclear, send us your voucher and we will confirm. We can request meal-plan upgrades before arrival subject to hotel availability and supplement charges.
2. 02What time can guests check in and check out at Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada?

   Check-in and check-out times are set by the hotel; your confirmation lists the exact times. Typical hotel practice in Hurghada is 14:00 check-in and 12:00 check-out, but this is not universal. Early check-in or late check-out can be requested; the hotel confirms these on availability and may levy a charge.
3. 03How long is the transfer from Hurghada International Airport to the hotel?

   Transfer time from Hurghada International Airport varies by traffic and the hotel’s exact location; we need your flight details to give a quote. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private transfers and meet-and-greet services on request. Provide your flight number and arrival time and we will offer a fixed-price private transfer or recommend shared-transfer options.
4. 04Can you arrange airport transfers, excursions and scuba/snorkel trips for guests?

   Yes – we can arrange airport transfers, Red Sea excursions and dive/snorkel trips for Pickalbatros Palace Resort guests. Dive centre availability, boat schedules and certification requirements vary; we will confirm options, prices and any minimum-participant rules. Unlike many package holidays, we time excursions around your flight and hotel arrival when you book through us.
5. 05Is Pickalbatros Palace Resort Hurghada a good choice for families with children?

   Family suitability depends on room type and the facilities you require (extra beds, interconnecting rooms). Tell us children’s ages and preferred room arrangement and we will request child-bedding or interconnecting rooms from the hotel. Some family facilities are seasonal or limited in number; we will confirm availability and any supplements before you finalise the booking.
6. 06Does the hotel have beach access and good snorkelling from the shore?

   Beach access and shore snorkelling vary between Hurghada hotels; check your booking confirmation for private beach or jetty details. Hurghada is on the Red Sea with nearby coral reefs, but not every resort has direct house-reef access. If snorkelling is a priority, we will confirm the nearest reef, boat options, equipment hire and any extra costs.
