This hotel is for German people, which the tour operator failed to mention. I went with a party of 8 and we were the only English people there. The entertainment in the evening was in German therefore we spent money going down to the local town every evening. The sister Beach hotel is mainly for Swiss people but if you do go there in the evening, you cannot use your all-inclusive band after 6pm and therefore have to pay for your drinks.
The drinks available are local beer and a few spirits but after 15 cups of beer it had no effect so we brought our own duty free spirits into the bar. Cocktails are charged for, as is orange juice and ice cream. There is no food available between 11am and 1.30pm.
The air conditioning in the rooms is switched off between 6pm-11pm every night. The German tour companies arrange for their mini bars to be filled up, English mini bars are just empty fridges. The biggest problem is that the staff do not speak English only German and Egyptian!

This place was GREAT!!!!
I’m 100% going to come back to Beach Albatros in Hurghada. But it will first be sometime in the summertime next year (2005).
Probably the best holiday ever...
You could see lot’s of need stuff, like: The sphinx, Keops pyramid, the Nile, Karnak, The Egyptian museum in Cairo, The valley of the Kings...and so much more.
The weather is great, and people are nice.
The waiter’s are very, VERY nice. In fact, we had made a list over the waiter’s, we really liked (There where 6) and we had pictures taken of them. Naturally we all had a favourite waiter... mine was a guy called... well I’m not sure if it was his name, but I think his name was "Hossam". I am not telling you why I liked him, though. It sounded so funny when he tried to pronounce my name. My name is Kenny and when he said it, he said something like "Canun". We all had a big laugh. The staff really has humour and knows how to have fun with the guests.
Amway’s, there were SO many facilities, and so much to do. I’d recommend a 14 day Holiday, cause you want the most out of this vacation.
Swimming Pool’s, Mini-Golf, Bar’s, Restaurant’s, shop’s (many of them has cheap prizes) and a lot of other stuff.
Anyways... This was a "short" review, lol:) I just cant wait for next year.
See ya.

I found this hotel advertised on the Internet as an all inclusive hotel. I called med hotels and I booked an all inclusive holiday with them. However, after staying at this hotel for a few days it seemed that this hotel was not all inclusive at all. The idea of an all inclusive hotel is that you shouldn’t have to bring your purse out in the daytime as everything should be free!
Orange juice - you pay for
Popcorn - you pay for
Ice cream - you pay for
Toppings on pizza - you pay for
Meals from the Italian restaurant - you paid for
All the things that would keep a child entertained - pool table, gaming machines Internet etc -you pay for.
One of the bars claimed to be open till 12.00 am, at 2 mins past, I tried to get a drink, they served me, brought the drinks to the table then billed me!
The beer they served that claimed to be 4.5% alcohol was also a lie - I drank 5 pints of the stuff and remained stone cold sober, to the end of the holiday, a friend I had met there managed to get hold of one of these bottles of beer and sure enough, they had already been opened and resealed does this hotel water down their beer?? When I tried to get drunk on the spirits, the staff would not serve me a shot as big as 25ml so still I remained sober.
It seemed every where you went there was always a little hidden charge.
The food was terrible and there were times in the day were there was no food available at all so again, we had to spend money on going out of the hotel to find edible food.
We also weren’t told when we booked, that the hotel was a German hotel and myself and my boyfriend were two of 8 people there that were English, the staff didn’t know much English, and the so called entertainment was also in German.
The check out time was at 12.00pm, but at 8.30 am, I was woken up by the cleaner asking us to leave straight away so he could clean - I told him I wasn’t leaving till 12.00 but then at 10.30, I was called and asked if they could come and collect my luggage - again I told them check out was at twelve noon.
After all this, the med hotels had the cheek to inform us the all the staff expected to be tipped! Never again will I use med hotels or Primasol.
