Our stay at this resort in Makadi Bay, Egypt, was nothing short of impressive! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the surroundings. Our room overlooked the stunning jungle pool and a beautifully landscaped courtyard full of tall palm trees and vibrant greenery – it was like stepping into a paradise. One of the most impressive aspects of the resort was the private beach, where the coral reefs were absolutely breathtaking. Snorkeling in crystal-clear water was an unforgettable experience, with an abundance of colorful marine life just waiting to be explored. The hotel grounds were impeccably maintained, and the atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing. The staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort, always friendly and attentive to every detail. We were also really impressed by the food. Every meal was delicious, but the grill dinner we reserved for two nights was definitely the highlight. The quality of the meats and the flavors were exceptional – it made our evenings truly special. If we had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to add a bit more of an Egyptian touch to the overall design and atmosphere of the hotel. While everything was amazing, a bit more local flair, perhaps in the decor or entertainment, could make the experience feel even more authentic and unique. We were truly impressed with every aspect of our stay, and we’re already looking forward to coming back

“Mixed Bag This Time Round”

This was our second trip to this hotel given that we had such a great time over Christmas and New Year. We thought it'd be a no brainer to go back for our Summer break.

This was our second trip to this hotel given that we had such a great time over Christmas and New Year. We thought it'd be a no brainer to go back for our Summer break. The service was exactly as we'd experienced before, staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you (tipping definitely helps but isn't expected). The hotel is vast and is spread over a wide area so there's always sunbeds etc available although you have to either get up earlier or pay extra to reserve the best spots (I can't quite get my head around paying 10 euro daily to reserve a spot on the beach although you do get drinks delivered....that you've already paid for!!). This is where I think the hotel is letting itself down a bit. It was fully booked when we went which meant it was very very busy and, compared to Christmas, it looked as though it couldn't cope at certain meal times especially lunch. During the summer season the Beach Bar becomes the focal point for evening entertainment which is great but no so good if you've booked to eat there as the service becomes so slow after the staff just get overrun as it's so busy. The jungle bar is a great place for a chilled out drink but I can't quite get the point of a tequila bar that they've opened on the beach, I think that would be great as an ordinary bar to relieve pressure in busy times. Special mention to Mina in the Beach Bar, Hussein at the West Bay Sunset Bar, the staff down at the Windbreaker Bar and Ramadam, our room attendant who made superb towel art every day and also decorated the room for my Wife's birthday. All in all a great holiday but we'd think twice about going back purely as it get's so busy. They are building new blocks and adding more rooms to the hotel which will make it even more packed if there are no plans for an additional pool etc . This review may look a little harsh but we did have a great time although the difference in experience between the first time and this time around was very noticeable but that's down to just how busy the complex gets
