Is Pickalbatros Royal Moderna Sharm El Sheikh good for families with kids — food, sea, activities?

The hotel's water park is good for kids — not huge but solid. The aqua park zone is large with plenty of sunbeds available near the pools. Children's entertainment runs until 23:00. The beach is rated better than at neighbouring Albatros hotels — gentle entry, corals, plenty of fish near shore and from the pier. It's about a 7-minute walk via Sea Life.

At low tide, small pools left in coral hollows near the shore are great for spotting fish and other sea creatures not visible at high tide. Both kids and adults can catch tiny crabs by hand — they scuttle across your palm.

In the mornings the main pier often flies a red flag (no swimming). Head to the lagoon to the left — sandy bottom, waist-deep water, and plenty of fish near shore. Families with small children gather there. The next pier also has its own lagoon.

Swimming from the hotel pier is allowed until 18:30. In the evenings, large moray eels and octopuses appear near the pier — guests spotted two large morays right by the hotel, and a group even swam out to open water with a lifeguard to follow them.

The food at the hotel gets high marks: red fish, shrimp, and langoustines are served every other day, grilled beef and other meats are available daily, and there is a wide selection of fruit. Families with children are consistently satisfied with the dining.

Yacht trips to Ras Mohammed work well even with infants: there are shaded spots on board where babies can sleep. Parents take turns snorkeling or diving while the other stays with the child. Infants are common on these excursions.
