Pickalbatros White Beach Resort - Hurghada

We stayed at the White Bench Resort during the UK Easter school holidays (April 11th to 18th, 2025) as a family of three. Before booking in February, I had done extensive research online on hotels around Hurghada, focusing on location, facilities, and reviews. I'm glad I chose the White Bench Resort. There are plenty of pools to choose from: four heated kids' pools, one very large heated pool (subdivided into several small ones for easy access), one very large unheated pool and a couple of small ones. The beachfront is well-organised, with plenty of seating available. However, to secure a good spot, you'll need to head down to the beach early in the morning. The room was a good size and included all the amenities we needed. It was very clean throughout our stay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable—definitely worth recommending. As for the food, it was well-balanced. There are three main restaurants and one à la carte option. You can pretty much eat all day—from 5:00 AM to midnight. Overall, I would recommend this resort for families.

The hotel is okay, good for families with young kids.. but it’s not very entertaining for older and teenagers kids. I liked the cleanliness, it is high level which was a good thing. Also the the big areas of heated pools were nice and enjoyable. The food has huge variety but it’s not yummy, majority of dishes are not pleasant to eat (either over cooked or with strong spices), and sweet options are below average.. food overall is not yummy. Service is ok, but I felt staff are not happy, and give you the feeling that no tips no good service.. and that is not good at all, as it’s not fair in every place I go in the hotel I should be ready to tip everyone. Animation team is on the boring side, we did not feel them that much and the nightly show was very boring except one night was above average. Maintainance of entertaining games is not good: table tennis is in bad condition, with broken rackets.. tennis court cannot be used to play tennis, as the net around the court is useless, any ball goes out of the court as if nothing surrounding it. Overall the hotel is okay, but I would consider other places in Hurghada next time.

Everything

My family and I absolutely loved this resort. It was an amazing experience and the perfect place for vacation. On arrival we were greeted by Islam who was super helpful and available to us the entire trip. He was able to accommodate us on all our requests. There was always so much to do at this resort. The pools and beach were beautiful. The resort also offers many fun activities during the day and at night. My personal favorite was the night time pool party on our last night of our vacation. The hotels spa was super relaxing and was exactly what I needed for this vacation. We created many relationships with hotel staff and even with the vendors from across the streets. Overall I highly recommend this resort, it is truly a hidden gem!

Overall good experience. Some of the serving staff provided better service to non locals vs locals. Other than that, room, amenities and dinning was good. Recommend to any one esp with kids as they have 4 kiddie pools.

Good place to stay but we have some problem there elevator was not working so u have to use another one so far from our room

Perfect place for families and especially kids. Day is full of activities which is amazing. Beach is a bit rocky not pure sandy. The food is terrible and tasteless. Animation team can do better in terms of interactions with the guests. Parking places inside the hotel is limited, so the staff sometimes choose or pick who gets to park inside which is disappointing.

We booked 2 room 1 room Egyptian and other Canadian But when check in I find the hotel charge extra 1750 LE for Egyptian room only Till now i didn’t know why

excellent property friendly staff specialty mr sherif from reception dept he was so helpful so professional

The sterilization and cleanliness was extremely good . As a doctor I can tell you this is more than enough However the service and food was disappointing Not as expected from the previous ratings As if they were surprised to resume work Overall I liked my stay in view of the difficult times we are going through

Everything was fantastic All facilities excellent

Very wonderful team , hotel Everything is very well I visited more than 4 times Nothing change since my first visit Really succeed to keep the first wonder impression as right now

Beautiful hotel and large pool area. Lots of options for food and drinks. Nice beach. Staff repeatedly coming by to intrusively try talking and selling excursions got to be very annoying.

Albatross Beach hotel is a very large hotel that caters for all ages. Likes: The service was exceptional in all areas of the hotel. Staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms: very modern, clean and well equipped Pools, some of which were heated Lovely beach Slight grumbles: It was very difficult to get a table for a party of 6 sitting outside at the buffet restaurants. There was a lack of atmosphere in the restaurants. The variety of food was limited. This is a very large hotel so I am glad we did not visit when it was at it's busiest (during the school holidays). We were a party of six, covering 3 generations and the hotel catered well for us all.

Room very clean , staff not friendly with egyptians !
