HELP!!! I am still so confused - sorry!!! Where is the Albatros Palace.

hiya Jane, its because if you look on the maps its not actually there(cus it was only built last year. use this website- wikimapia, it shows you where it is but not the actual structure. hope it helps!!!

Hi Jane, If you put Emerald Hotel Golden Five Hurghada in the search box on google earth it will show you this hotel , having looked at the tour companys that sell your hotel it shows the A/palace just south of the Emerald hotel.

It does not show your hotel on google earth but with it being a newish building that is no suprise as a lot of the pics are
a few year old.

Regards.
Ian.

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me, that explains why I can't find it on Google Earth I looked on Wikimapia and on there it looks llike the Albatros Palace is next door to the other hotels.

If anyone goes there during the summer, I would be interested to know about the hotel and if you can use the other hotel's amenities too.

Thanks for all your help.

We stayed in the Albatros Palace last year and it was lovely. We had actually booked the one next door, Albatros Beach but for some reason our transfer rep said we had been upgraded at no cost to ourselves. If you can afford it, go for the Palace. We did go and have a look in the Beach hotel but it wasn't as nice.
We had a very spacious room and the different restaurants to choose from are really good : oriental,mediterranean, italian and egyptian. They make fresh pizzas for you while you wait and you can choose all sorts of toppings. The curries etc in the oriental were really nice too. Enjoy your hols!!

Thank you Patsy, will do I promise .

If you are staying at the Aqua Blue in Hadaba you have picked a great hotel. We met a family on the beach who were staying there last year and they were having a great time.

We passed your hotel a few times as up the road there is a supermarket and a few other shops that we went to and it looks great from the outside to.

If you are staying at the A/B in Hadaba you are only about a 15 minuite walk from old Sharm which is a lot
cheaper to shop in than Nama bay, if you need directions to get there just give use a shout.

Roll on July out of a wet Cumbria for a couple of weeks lol.

Dont worry Jane it will come round quick, we booked last years holiday in January for December and thought what a long wait it would be, the next thing we knew was wow were flying next week.

Looking at booking the Beach Albatros(s) Palace Hotel next year. Are First Choice Holidays the only tour operator from the UK??
Hopefully you still are all looking at this topic. . . . .
Thanks in anticipation.
