Rested in early September with a guy. The hotel was chosen for a very long time based on reviews on the Internet, as well as on the recommendations of friends. And in the end we chose Albatros Aqua Blue 4 * in Hurghada. Didn't regret it!
Here is a summary of the pros and cons:

Pluses: very clean territory of the hotel; polite staff; good housekeeping; good food in the main restaurant; it is very convenient that you can use the territory and services of the neighboring 2 hotels - Albatros Vista and Albatros Garden; a clean beach, where there is a gentle entrance along the sand, as well as small corals near the shore, for those who like to snorkel.

Disadvantages: uncomfortable shower; walk to the beach min 10; no animation.

In my opinion, the shortcomings are minor, and you can not pay, so as not to spoil your vacation.

Many people write about frequently flying planes, and so it didn’t bother us at all, but on the contrary it was even interesting to see)) and there was no smell on the territory of the hotel from watering the plants with fertilizers.

I really enjoyed bargaining in local shops, bought excellent chess with metal carvings of pharaohs for a ridiculous price, we sell such 10 times more expensive. Many write that you need to buy in Cleopatra, there are fixed prices, but I disagree, we bought the same souvenirs much cheaper in the shops near the hotel, the main thing is to bargain. There have never been any conflicts with the locals. The main thing is to accept their mentality and not pay attention to some "obtrusiveness" of this people.

Of the excursions, I really liked Paradise Island, the divine sea and white sand, like in paradise.
I really enjoyed snorkeling among the corals and schools of fish, which were not at all afraid of our presence and even ate bread from our hands without fear. This island left an unforgettable impression, I advise everyone to visit it.

I advise everyone this hotel, it can be a solid 5 *, if not for the second coastline.

If you have questions, you can write.
