Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Pickalbatros Blu Spa Resort is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, built for couples who want the whole holiday taken care of. It stands on the Red Sea shore along Hurghada's Village Road, with a private beach, four pools, a spa and four restaurants close together, all on an ultra all-inclusive basis. Guests keep returning to the same points: rooms and grounds kept spotless, staff who are quick to help, a beach with soft sand and warm, clear water, and a calm mood without children. The trade-offs are smaller ones. Smoking is allowed in the lobby bar, which bothers some non-smokers, and spa treatments come with a sales pitch and prices that are negotiated. On a longer stay a few guests wished the menus changed more often. Couples who want sun, sea and spa without planning anything will find a well-run base; anyone after a small, secluded hideaway should look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.5 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.

- Cleanliness is what guests mention most consistently. Guests describe the rooms as spotless and the pools, beach and restaurants as kept in the same condition, even with the resort full.
- Staff are praised as kind, quick to help and keen to make the stay a good one, from the restaurants to the beach. One guest who felt unwell had food brought to the room.
- Smoking is permitted inside the lobby bar, where the pastry counter is also found, and non-smokers mention that the smell carries.
- Spa treatments are sold with a pitch at the hotel, and a few guests found it awkward that prices had to be negotiated rather than simply listed.
