Accessibility
Accessibility at Pickalbatros The Palace Port Ghalib depends on the room location and facilities available during your stay. The hotel is in Port Ghalib, a coastal Red Sea destination, where outdoor paths may include uneven paving, sand, or areas exposed to heat. Reaching the pool, beach, restaurants, and lobby may involve walking and level changes; step-free routes, elevators, and accessible room features should be confirmed with the hotel before booking. Wheelchair access at the airport and on any separately arranged transportation also needs advance confirmation. Contact us with your mobility needs so we can ask the property about suitable arrangements.
Before you go
The minimum age, child room rates, and any age-based meal pricing should be confirmed with the hotel for your dates. Ask whether a crib or high chair can be requested when booking, as availability may vary. Strollers can be useful around the property, but sand, outdoor paving, and changes in level may make some routes difficult. Contact us with your children's ages and room requirements so we can check the applicable terms.
