Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, is a popular destination for tourists seeking warm weather and exciting activities. One of the main attractions for families and thrill-seekers alike are the water parks. This article provides a detailed review of water park options in Sharm El Sheikh, focusing on hotels with heated pools and slides suitable for winter use.
Albatros Aqua Park and Aqua Blue: A Detailed Look
The Albatros Aqua Park and Albatros Aqua Blue hotels are highly recommended for their water park facilities. These hotels stand "fence in a fence," allowing guests to use the territory (except for bars) in Albatros Aqua Park, which is a newer water park. While Albatros Aqua Park is newer, many guests find Albatros Aqua Blue more appealing for relaxation.
A significant update regarding the beaches of Albatros Aqua Park and Aqua Blue: The issue has been resolved with the beaches, now located just 100 meters further. A transfer from the hotel is available every 30 minutes, with a 7-minute drive. This bay is windless, making it ideal for families.
In Aqua Park 5, two swimming pools for adults and two small ones for children are heated, including slides. Large slides, however, do not have heating. Aqua Park 5 is considered cooler than Aqua Blue, where guests can use the territory and services, including restaurants, bars, and the water park, 24 hours a day. Guests of Aqua Blue have access to Aqua Park and Barvmi from 10 AM to 5 PM. Rooms, service, and food are also reportedly better in Aqua Park 5.

It’s important to note that not all pools in Sharm El Sheikh are heated during the winter. In the Albatros hotels, only specific pools are heated, including those with slides for children.
The Albatross aqua park is available both in Sharm and Hurghada, there are also albatross aqua blue, albatross beach and including albatross citadel.
Previously, we flew exclusively to charm because of the youngest (direct flights from Kharkov only to Sharm), and this year we decided to change our location to Hurghada.
And I wrote that in the Albatrosses of Hurghada, most of the pools are heated, because in April of this year (there were from April 22) there was a cold dog, they flew in and instead of undressing for the first few days they went in jackets and hats and only after the heat began.

And at that time, the children did not climb out of the water parks, because they were heated and the sea was cold ... and they categorically did not want to swim in the sea.
But for the winter I do not consider Hurghada at all.
Was in 2017 in October - it froze more than in December in charm.
So I realized that there is nothing else besides Albatrosses?
Even 3 slides?

Were in Concorde, Island View.
There, out of 3 slides, one is working, thanks to the warm pool.
But I want something new.
Will probably have to give up the presence of slides in the hotel this time.
It turns out that other hotels with water parks are in charm, which are the water parks in which I was for the winter period, not particularly suitable because of the location ..
And we have been in Hurghada for 3 years in a row in winter.
The priority is also in hotels with slides and are not tied to the sea.
Last year we also went to Albatros aqua park.
This year the price was higher, and I wanted variety.
Let's go to the Titanic aqua park - more slides, including extreme ones, all pools with slides +28 +32.
Children's animation is excellent, the child liked it here more than in other hotels.
It's boring for adults.
The Albatross is more fun and the food is better.
From April 20, 2019 we were in Sharm at Albatros Aqua Park.
The weather was excellent.
Air up to 35, water 27-28.
in the pools and even more.

Other Considerations
When choosing a hotel with water parks in Sharm El Sheikh, it's essential to consider factors beyond just the slides and pool heating. Location, beach access, and overall hotel quality play significant roles in the overall experience.
Other hotels with water parks may be located on the second line, requiring transfers to the beach, or may have other drawbacks. Some hotels may have slides, but only one is functional, even with a warm pool.
