Pickalbatros Golf Beach Resort

"Just returned from a week's family holiday at the hotel. Overall a very good experience LOCATION Found the location perfect..10mins from the airport but no plane noise. 10 mins from Naama Bay and Soho Square STAFF... All the staff were very friendly and worked incredibly hard to make the holiday enjoyable. Special mention to Saad the life guard and Mahmood the manager at the pool bar. ROOMS... My room was 3203 which was a great location opposite the quiet pool. It was very large and clean. Decor is dated but plenty of storage. Small mini fridge with Coke and Fanta. Lots of bottle water supplied, remember to use this to brush your teeth. Kettle and coffee supplied. Bathroom is huge and serviceable but in need of major refurbishment. Pleased to see a bath , but unfortunately no plug! Toiletries are provided. My daughter had bath robes and slippers, I didn't. POOLS... The pools are brilliant, need a few repairs in places but are large and clean. Particularly liked the lazy river. We used both the main pool which is lively and the quieter pool , both had plenty of sunbeds which were well spread out and didn't need reserving at a ridiculous hour! FOOD... Food is typical all inclusive but generally plenty of choice. Always lots of fresh fruit and salads. Omelettes cooked to order for breakfast every day The main restaurant feels like a canteen so nicer to eat outside. Pool bar has decent snacks for lunch. Visited the " a la carte" Italian and it was very disappointing...the normal restaurant was better. Well worth paying the £15 for the 4 courses and wine in the Japanese though. ANIMATION... The team were friendly and organised a variety of activities, day and night, invited you to join in but weren't pushy. Particularly liked the afternoon pool parties The Spa was also good DRINKS... In my opinion the quality and choice of drinks is the worse thing about the hotel. Soft drinks are branded but very little choice in alcoholic drinks. Very basic options of spirits. We are not big drinkers of alcohol but do like a nice cocktail on holiday and these were a major disappointment. The main lobby bar is weird...literally like waiting in reception. The Irish pub allows smoking so not child friendly. Relocating the main bar to provide a better atmosphere and extending the drinks options would improve the hotel experience massively Most visitors are Russian so the English spoken is not always as good as other countries but it wasn't a problem The rate for currency is much better when you are there than in the UK"

"Nice hotel. Funny animation, especially cool Beno: friendly, active, positive. She does aqua aerobics and darts well. Thank you very much for the great mood!"

"Beautiful great guys always available"
