TL;DR

For a family stay, confirm pool availability, beach conditions, Wi‑Fi and food options before booking. Pharaoh Azur is mentioned as a more affordable alternative to Continental, but current pool and room details should be verified directly before reserving.

What the community said

Pharaoh Azur is being considered for an October trip with children aged 10 and 13 as a lower-priced alternative to Continental. Before paying, confirm whether all pools are open, as one pool was reported to be under maintenance.

At Pharaoh Azur, ask specifically about sea-view rooms: travelers were checking whether they require an extra fee or can be assigned at standard check-in.

When choosing between Pharaoh Azur, Calimera Blend and Albatros Makadi for a stay with a 3.5-year-old, prioritize reliable Wi‑Fi, easy sea entry and varied food. Request current conditions from the hotel for late August.
