Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was superb! The rooms were impeccable and offered stunning sea views. The property is well-kept with various swimming pools and a great beach. The amenities and views were outstanding, and the food options were endless, catering to even the most selective tastes.
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly staff and a variety of dining options and activities every day. However, the promo room setup was not ideal for a couple as it turned out to be a twin room.
I had a great time at the hotel! The rooms, although a bit dated, offered stunning sea views and a cool retreat during the hot season. The service was impeccable, with friendly staff who followed up daily. The location, right in front of the marine, was ideal for snorkeling enthusiasts. The dining options were limited, but the shabu shabu was decent.
I had a great time at the hotel! The rooms had fantastic views of the sea, and although I couldn't really see the sea from my room, it was still a sea view room. The service was top-notch, very empathetic, and always helpful. The location was like a piece of heaven with a variety of options between the sea, lagoons, and pools. However, the dining options were a bit limited, especially in comparison to other places.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a sea view, spacious and perfectly clean every day. However, the promotional room wasn't ideal for a couple as it turned out to be a twin room, making it impossible to put the beds together. The service staff lacked professionalism in the beach bar, never smiling, which created negative vibes, but they were good at communication. The location is perfect for all ages, ideal for entertainment, but inaccurate directions caused us an hour and a half of extra driving. Dining options need more variation and taste improvement. The facilities are well-maintained, and the hotel offers excellent staff communication.
The resort offers a unique and luxurious experience with great facilities, a long beach, delicious food options, and friendly staff. The rooms may be a bit outdated but are still comfortable, especially with amazing views.
My stay at this resort was a mix of highs and lows. While the rooms were a bit smaller than expected, the overall experience was fantastic with a unique style, luxurious facilities, and a long beach. The dining options were great, the staff were friendly, and the gym was top-notch. However, some aspects like the size of the rooms and the consistent supply of towels could be improved.
The hotel offers a variety of choices to please every guest, from the room to the restaurant. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing amazing views. However, some parts of the hotel show signs of wear and tear since it's rated 3 stars only.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views, although they are located in less ideal locations within the resort. The animation team, pool, and overall experience were fantastic. The location is perfect and beautiful, with amazing views and helpful staff like MR Mahmoud. The dining experience was good, especially at the food court. The facilities are well-maintained with beautiful manicured grounds and extravagant views.
The hotel offers fantastic rooms with sea/pool views, huge bathrooms/showers, and very comfortable beds. However, some areas need more cleaning. The service provided by Mr Ramadan in the Restaurant and Mr Mustafa in the reception was very friendly, but there were issues with currency exchange rates. The location is awesome, particularly for snorkeling enthusiasts, but some interactions, like with passport control, were unnecessary. The dining experience was not exquisite, with limited food options, especially for British/Dutch tourists. The facilities are well-equipped and satisfactory.
The hotel rooms were spacious and comfortable, but with some privacy issues due to partial walls. The service was mixed with some exceptional staff, like Mr Mostafa and Ahmed Elsayed, but overall not consistently helpful. The location was perfect with a variety of activities nearby, although the public areas seemed crowded. The dining experience had its moments but was not consistent. Overall, the hotel offers a mixed experience with some highlights amidst some drawbacks.
I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were clean and in good condition, but on the other hand, the professionalism was lacking. However, the quick response from the hotel manager, Mohamed Hassan, who provided a free room upgrade to a family room made a huge difference.
The resort offers a mix of experiences; while the rooms in building complex 4 need complete renovation and are slightly smaller than other Albatros resorts, the overall luxury and varied facilities create a unique and lavish atmosphere. The beach is extensive, the dining options are delicious, and the GYM is top-notch.
Staying at the resort was like a magical escape with amazing outside style, but a bit far from the beach.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views, but the distance from restaurants may be inconvenient. The service is a mix of helpfulness and unfriendliness. The location is stunning, right in front of the marine, but the dining experience is described as messy with good variety. Overall, the hotel provides a clean and comfy stay with some room for improvement in service and dining.
