👳🏾♂️ Salem’s Take: More Than Just a Theme Park?
Let me be honest: When I first moved to Hurghada, I thought this hotel was "kitschy." It looks like a movie set for Aladdin.
But over the years, I've realized why it's a legend. It's not just a hotel; it's a massive entertainment complex. It’s part of "Neverland City," meaning you get access to the biggest aqua park in the region. If you have kids under 15, this place is unbeatable. If you want a quiet romantic getaway? Look elsewhere. This is for families who want action.
Setting the Scene
The Atmosphere
It mimics an ancient Arabian palace. Domes, arches, colorful mosaics, and a museum of Egyptian history right inside the hotel.
Aqua Park Access
You are part of Neverland. That means access to Jungle Aqua Park next door—widely considered the best water park in Hurghada with 35+ slides.
The Show
The hotel hosts the famous "Neverland Show" at night. It's a mix of acrobatics, dance, and music. It's loud, colorful, and impressive.
Detailed Assessment
✅ The Highlights
- Value for Money: For a 4-star price, you get 5-star entertainment facilities.
- Food Quality: Pickalbatros is consistent. The food isn't Michelin star, but it's fresh, varied, and safe.
- Activities: You literally cannot get bored here. Pools, slides, museums, theaters... it's non-stop.
❌ The Drawbacks
- The Beach: It is NOT on the beach. You have to take a shuttle bus (Dana Beach usually). It works well, but it's not "sea view" from your room.
- Crowds: It's a huge family resort. It can be noisy at the main pools.
🚕 Need a Ride to Neverland?
Don't haggle with street taxis outside the airport. They know you are going to a fancy resort and will overcharge.
Book a reliable transfer in advance and start your vacation stress-free.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Is Hurghada safe for tourists in 2025?
Absolutely. Hurghada, and specifically strictly secured resort compounds like Neverland City, are extremely safe. There is security at every gate and the city effectively lives on tourism.
What is the best time to visit Hurghada for weather?
For swimming and water parks (like this one), April to June and September to November are perfect (25-30°C). Winter (Jan-Feb) can be a bit chilly for the unheated pools, although Pickalbatros usually heats their main pools.
How much tip should I give in Egypt?
Tipping ('Baksheesh') is part of the culture. For housekeeping, 50-100 EGP per day is generous. For porters, 20-50 EGP. In restaurants, 10% is standard if service isn't included.
