👳🏾♂️ Salem's Honest Review
Pickalbatros is famous for its huge family water parks (like Jungle Aqua Park), but Blu Spa is their apology to adults who just want peace. Opened recently, it focuses entirely on "Wellness".
It is Ultra All-Inclusive, which means branded alcohol, 24/7 dining, and high-end service. The highlight? The spa is massive—one of the largest in Hurghada. It feels like a modern palace. Unlike some older hotels nearby, everything here sparkles with "newness".
Location Tip: You are right on the "Mamsha" (Promenade). You can step out of the quiet hotel and walk to cafes, shops, and the Little Buddha night club within minutes.
The Pools
Four outdoor pools, mostly heated in winter. The indoor pool in the spa is a masterpiece of tranquility.
Dining
Four top-tier restaurants: Italian, Asian (Soprano), Oriental (Culina), and Mediterranean. The food quality is significantly higher than standard Albatros buffets.
The Spa
This is the main event. Saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, and massage rooms designed for couples. It's not an afterthought; it's the core of the hotel.
The Real Pros & Cons
✅ Why Stay Here
- Brand New: Everything works. The AC is silent. The showers have pressure.
- Location: Best of both worlds—quiet beachfront + walking distance to city life.
- No Kids: 100% Guaranteed. No "family section" nearby to ruin the vibe.
⚠️ Things to Know
- Beach Water: The sea here is okay for swimming, but not the crystal-clear coral reef of Makadi. It's sandy and pleasant, but snorkelers might be bored without a boat trip.
- Price: It commands a premium over other Albatros resorts.
