Pickalbatros Golf Beach Resort (ex. Golf Beach Resort)

I don't usually write reviews, but after spending the most amazing week at Pickalbatros Golf Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh (21st–28th June 2026), I felt compelled to share our experience. There were seven of us travelling together – myself, my wife, our son, and my wife's brother with his family – and every single one of us had a fantastic holiday. The rooms were extremely spacious, clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, which was absolutely essential with temperatures exceeding 35°C every day. Housekeeping did a wonderful job throughout our stay, and the rooms were impeccably cleaned each day. There is so much to do both within the resort and in the surrounding area. Within the resort itself, we loved the variety of swimming pools, especially the lazy river, which takes around 20 minutes to complete a full circuit – an absolute highlight for all of us! We also enjoyed the pool volleyball, foam parties, and the many bars dotted around the resort where you could stop for a refreshing cold drink. The food was outstanding. The à la carte restaurants served delicious meals and provided plenty of variety throughout the week. Another unexpected highlight was the complimentary one-hour golf lesson at the spectacular golf course next to the resort. Even if you're not a golfer, it's great fun for the whole family and well worth trying. Guests also have access to the nearby sister hotel's aquapark, with complimentary transport provided. The journey takes only five minutes, and we loved being able to enjoy the water slides, pools and bars there as well. The sea was simply stunning. Snorkelling was incredible, with countless varieties of colourful fish swimming right alongside you. I would definitely recommend bringing a mask or goggles so you can fully appreciate the underwater world. We also ventured outside the resort a few times. We visited SOHO Square and the Old Market for shopping, with reasonably priced taxis arranged by the hotel. One of our favourite excursions was a trip on a glass-bottom boat to view the coral reefs, combined with a speedboat ride. On the way back, each of us even got a chance to sit behind the wheel and steer the speedboat for a while, which made the experience even more memorable. Five members of our family also went on a sunrise excursion that included driving buggies, riding quad bikes and a camel ride through the desert. My wife and I decided to give this one a miss due to the 4:30am departure, but they all had an incredible time and the photos were absolutely amazing. We also treated ourselves to some relaxation in the on-site spa, opting for the full Turkish Hammam and massage experience. I enjoyed it so much that I went back for a second treatment before we left! Above all, though, what made this holiday so memorable was the staff. Every single member of the team was friendly, attentive and genuinely committed to making sure guests had a wonderful stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble. However, there are three individuals who truly stood out and helped make this the best holiday our family has ever taken. Mohamed from the Sunset Bar was absolutely brilliant. He was constantly smiling, engaging and attentive. Whenever he noticed your drink was running low, he would appear with a top-up before you even had to ask. He was fantastic with the children too, even playing catch with them between the bar and the pool, which brought so much laughter and fun to our days. Eid, who worked at the bar next to the food court and entertainment area (sadly I can't remember the bar's name), was incredible from the first day to the last. We chose sunbeds that were probably the furthest possible distance from where he was serving drinks, but that never stopped him. He was constantly walking up and down ensuring our drinks were replenished, always with the biggest smile on his face. Every member of our family agrees that we will genuinely miss seeing him, as he made our relaxation time feel truly special. Finally, I have to mention Mr Diaa, the Front Office Manager. He went above and beyond anything we could have expected to make our stay as memorable as possible. His kindness, professionalism and genuine care created memories that our family will cherish forever. You know what you did, Mr Diaa, and we are incredibly grateful for everything. Your efforts made a lasting impression on us all. Overall, this was without question one of the best holidays we have ever experienced. The accommodation, facilities, food, entertainment, excursions and, most importantly, the people all combined to create an unforgettable family holiday. Thank you, Pickalbatros Golf Beach Resort. We will be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
