Hotel in a windless bay with corals
Please recommend a hotel in the Hurghada area (perhaps Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh or even Marsa) which has a beautiful, lively reef and wind protection. I'm planning a vacation at the beginning of January. We want to go to Luxor, so I'm considering hotels closer to it. The budget is not very large, around $1000 for two. Before that, we were in Shams Alam in Mars, I want something no less interesting in terms of coral and living creatures.

Check out hotels in Port Ghalib. I can’t say about the wind in January, it was like that in October a few years ago. But I will say about the reef - gorgeous.

You fit into Pyramis Sahl Hasheesh for a week, and with a margin. If you can increase your budget, Makadi Arabesque Fort is ideal.

In Mars, the choice is large and the price tag is lower, but it is all wind-driven. Unless you count on a lot of luck.

Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh and Gravity Sahl Hasheesh (excellent hotels, but weaker on the reef), Hilton Marsa Alam (excellent in all respects, but much more expensive), Equinox (excellent hotel + reef). But in general, after Shams Alam, it will be difficult to please you on the reef)))

I just got back from Makadi. The Arabesque Fort in Makadi is nothing compared to Shams Alam in terms of reef. You will be disappointed. In addition, Makadi is stormy, there was one day a red flag along the entire coast.

===========
"All the coast" is missing as a class. The southern stormy Makadi and the northern one are two big differences. Only from Sunrise, but we bathe in Arabesques. On Friday-Saturday there was a strong wind, but there was no red flag, there was a nasty breeze on the sea, we swam closer to the coast. For many dozens of visits to this part of Makadi, I have never seen a storm and where does it come from. And this season, in a strange way, there are many times less living creatures, I agree here
If you take risks with Mars, then it’s not the Hilton, then Bryk’s lesser evil

11/19/2019 - it was stormy from Grand Makadi to Jazz (and Arabesques with Sunrise too). I was in the hotel where the author of the question (Shams Alam) was. There is nothing to do in Arabesques after Shams Alam with huge green turtles and a chic reef

))) We just arrived on November 19th, in the afternoon we swam in full, there was no wind and even excitement. For 19 days, only the last two days were very windy. Once again, there are no storms in that part of Makadi
Grand Makadi falls out of the protected part of Makadi esiché. Maybe enough to carry a frank blizzard

Already in the afternoon the flag was removed, the circus is chesslovo)) We were at the hotel at 11.30 and immediately went swimming. For two weeks there was a gorgeous windless weather, then it began to deteriorate. And turbidity is not a reason to hang a red flag that is covered with moss. A blizzard is also a blizzard in Africa))

I was in Makadi in October, in labrand (former Azuras. Walking along Makadi, I swam on the piers of Stella, Harmony, Grand Makadi and on arabesques. And when a storm raged on the Harmony Pier, which is already in the open sea, the arabesques are quiet and smooth But in terms of beauty, I liked Grand Makadi more, there is a very diverse coral.And at Stella, for a beautiful coral, you have to swim far into the sea from Pantone, which alone is not very pleasant.There I met eagles and a small shark, it seemed that there were much more living creatures, but this yet probably due to the fact that she swam from 6 am And I think that in winter the winds there will be stronger than in October.

Anastasia_Orchid_House, PPKS, plus for the hand of the master)
Stella for experienced snorkelers, good reef to the right on the outer side, not deep currents. Eternal boats with tourists spoil marine life. From November to April in Stella, Azura, Cleopatra and so on until Madinat there is nothing to do. The wall of Grandasa is best, but there is a wind blower again and in winter the pier is often closed. The fans go on foot to the Grand, from there they swim as far as they can. Several families of turtles have been living in Makadi Spa for a long time, swimming in Arabesques. And in November, such a miracle walked in the SPA https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=693316894510724

For tankers, a list of winter hotels in Makadi (where there are no storms) Breaking Madinat with the most reliable Jazz Makadina. Then Tia Heights, Rixos Construction, Sunrise Makadi, Fort Arabesque, Prima Life. Last resorts: Sunwing, SPA (excellent) Palace is already half protected, Grand blows off (cross out) You can add Al Nabila, but only in the form of a beach period
