Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort

The room was clean. The stuff was very nice. With family is the best place to stay. The food is tasty and the pools are clean.

Writing this review is not easy, as this is a hotel we used to love and where we felt like family. Unfortunately, our recent stay was a major disappointment, and it will be our last. First, I must highlight the standard staff—cleaners, housekeepers, waiters, and gardeners. They remain exceptionally polite, respectful, and always willing to help without expecting tips. A few front desk staff could improve their customer service, but that is something we have come to expect over the years. What has fundamentally changed is the atmosphere. The hotel, which historically catered to a predominantly European clientele, now hosts a vast majority of regional guests. We are open-minded travelers, but the shift has created uncomfortable dynamics. We were frequently subjected to inappropriate looks and gestures (due to standard European swimwear), and encountered unruly behavior, such as children kicking footballs around the lobby, bars, restaurants, and cafeterias. Furthermore, observing respectful staff and people of different faiths being treated poorly by some guests was deeply unsettling. While this does not apply to everyone, it significantly impacted our sense of comfort, relaxation, and security. It truly saddens us to say this, as we hold the local team in high regard. Moving forward, we will be looking for another option—likely an adults-only hotel. This is, of course, just our personal experience, but it severely affected our holiday. We are leaving 3 stars purely out of respect for the hard work of the polite and dedicated staff.

Absolutely stunning hotel,extremely clean. The food was amazing everything fresh beautifuly made and served.Overall beautiful holiday destination.

The holiday was great. The staff are very helpful! They can’t do enough for you especially the towel man, the pool bar staff and restaurant staff. Nagy and Mustafa at the aqua park are particularly wonderful! The rooms are kept very clean and the cleaners do a fantastic job. Our children loved the towel art! Water was restocked daily and towels always clean and fresh! The facilities at the hotel are amazing! The gym is the best I’ve been in during a holiday. It is a shame that the 50m pool is an additional cost as it was never busy! But we did enjoy this during our stay. The pools and slides are great, the lifeguards work very hard to ensure everyone is safe and rules are adhered to! Some of the slides and sun loungers could do with updating - we had two broken sun beds during our stay! The atmosphere around the pool was great with music and great entertainment. Lots going on to keep adults and children entertained. The evening entertainment didn’t suit our tastes and shows were often cancelled and changed but the staff did their best to keep everyone happy with the drinks flowing! The mojitos were particularly good! The fair ground was a big hit with our children and all rides were free! The location was good, we made use of the shuttle to the other hotel at the beach and did a boat trip. The hotel has a range of restaurants, once we found the two that cater for more European tastes and sweet home the whole family were happy. The sellers around the pool can be persistent and I wish I’d said something sooner as the receptionist told me that you can get a red flag from the towel hut and they will leave you alone. That being said we did enjoy a great boat trip, a beach front sea food meal and made use of the spa with my older girls. Overall a great family holiday!!

Pools are excellent, about 12 pools all together. Lots of slides for the kids. Plenty of sunbeds no need too get up early. Bar staff and cleaners are fab. Hotel very close too the airport. Funfair and VR room for the kids is brilliant. Overall the hotel is great. Had a brilliant hoilday.
