Aqua Blu Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt, offers a family-friendly vacation experience with various amenities and activities. This review provides an in-depth look at the hotel's key features, including the pools, dining options, entertainment, and overall service quality.
The attractive pool areas at Aqua Blu Hotel.
Pools and Recreation
The pool areas are attractive, and our children enjoyed them a lot. Unfortunately, there is very little shade over the pools. This was our main disappointment.
The VR room was a big hit with our children. We appreciated that it is free, though you receive only one token per night, which allows one game each evening.

Over our 10-day stay, even across various restaurants, we experienced very little variety. Food was often presented in silver chafing dishes without any decoration, which felt careless.
On the positive side, the pizzas were excellent: you could choose the toppings, and they were baked in real pizza ovens.
For dessert, there were always fruit, various cakes, pastries, and jelly. However, the cakes all tasted broadly the same and differed mainly in colour.
Ice cream was available only at a single stand between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM, in three flavors (strawberry, vanilla, apricot). From other Egypt vacations, we are used to having ice cream in the afternoon as well, plus popsicles in various flavors.

Service and Staff
About 95% of the staff were exceptionally courteous, friendly, and very child-oriented.
Entertainment and Activities
We did not particularly like the beach. The animation program felt rather weak; the shows seemed low-budget and not of high quality.
What stressed us most was the volume of the music-at the foam party in the evening program, even at the kids’ disco, and sometimes with so-called background music. The volume was, in our view, unacceptably high and potentially harmful. Although several children and adults repeatedly covered their ears, no one reduced the volume.

Overall Experience
Despite bouts of stomach upset and a middle-ear infection, we did manage to enjoy our holiday.
