Pickalbatros Royal Grand Sharm - Adults Friendly 16 Years Plus

Loved everything about this place!

Loved everything about this place!

On the sea, Good snorkeling but not a swimming beach. However there are 3 lovely pools for swimming. Staff was very friendly and helpful. First room we had was very tired but we changed rooms due to entertainment noise and the 2nd room was newer.

- Food: good, especially the Culina restaurant (fish). Buffet restaurants (Soprano/Mediteranian) were also good, and there were some foods/deserts that were delicious. - Animation: very energetic and eager to get you engage into activities, at least the guys. Cool activities. - Internet: good coverage, there are some cold spots (no wifi), but it's rare. I got about 30/30mbps at the lobby bar and in my room. There are some outages, but quite rare, mostly in the evenings, so for video calls I used mobile data (t-mobile, like $15 for 30gb at airport). - Sports: - Volleyball: good court and good ball. Having some reflectors would be ideal, to be able to play in the evening - Ping-pong (table tennis): good table, bad rackets; they are falling apart, and rubber is non-existant. It's inside, so at least wind isn't a problem. - Billiard: quite bad tables (2) - it's all warped as it's outside. You can play, but it's not the most enjoyable game, as ball is always going to the corner. - Remote work (for digital nomads): not great, not terrible. Tables at lobby bar are quite high relative to the chair, so your shoulders/traps will ache after an hour or two. Good internet. You can work at the buffet restaurant (Soprano) when it's opened, table there is better. - Pushy salesmen: some comments say the scuba/massage guys (working for commission) are too pushy. IMO they aren't that bad. And do bargain for the price, you can get 50% off the initial price offer.
