The first impression was that we found our hotel in Egypt. Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, good food by Egyptian standards. There are no intrusive sellers and masseurs. Good housekeeping. And quite a beautiful reef. Feature of the hotel You can take drinks (juices) only for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, soft drinks (cola, juices) are brought by waiters. You can't pick up a glass and get a Coke yourself. You order a drink from the waiter and wait. Wait and order again and again. But you won't get cola. Usually a soft drink was brought at the end of dinner. Once they brought it when I had already gone for a cola to a bar located nearby. But the bartender could not pour cola and send back to wait in the restaurant. And I went for a Coke in another bar. Then I began to carry drinks from the minibar to dinner with me. One day we asked to bring a glass of wine, which we brought with us. Every time the waiters said OK and left. . . for good. In a restaurant near the beach (works by appointment) they brought me a second glass of juice after the third order, when dinner was already over.
Drinks are served on the beach. The first time our order didn't arrive, I went to the bar and wanted to take it myself. The bartender rocks for me to come back and they will bring it to me. But as you may have guessed, they did not bring us anything. I began to demand drinks from the bartender and did not leave until they poured them for me. On the last day, the bartender simply refused to pour the juice. I asked him three times. At the end he said there was no juice. Although the juice was in the fridge.
Vacation ruined. I came to relax, and not to demand the drinks I paid for from the hotel staff. We have been to other hotels in Jazz Makadi and had no problem with drinks. This was the third visit to this hotel chain. I will not go to this hotel again.

We rested with a young man in early December 2016. We really liked the hotel. The hotel area is small, but cozy and beautiful. Very well maintained, it is clear that everything was arranged here with love. The location is good, near the old town, amazing, atmospheric, the hotel is still windless, so well located that the wind is almost not felt.

We rested with a young man in early December 2016. We really liked the hotel.
The hotel area is small, but cozy and beautiful. Very well maintained, it is clear that everything was arranged here with love. The location is good, near the old town, amazing, atmospheric, the hotel is still windless, so well located that the wind is almost not felt. There are also two swimming pools.
It is located on the first line, the beach is very large and wide. The entry into the sea is sandy, even slippers are not needed, surprisingly for Sharma. The sea is great there. We swam all day, despite the fact that the water was cool.
Our room was good, big. There was air conditioning and it worked great. Cleaning was everyday. Everything was changed to clean.
The staff is polite, friendly, always smiling.
The food at the hotel is always fresh and tasty, for me there was plenty to choose from. Soups, fresh and stewed vegetables, pasta, potatoes, rice, fish and seafood, chicken and beef - cooked in different ways. The dishes are very nicely presented. You definitely won't leave there hungry.
Mineral water is served in bottles. It was delicious wine. The bars always have fresh cappuccino and espresso!
The bar on the beach has a very beautiful view of the sea, we sat there in the late afternoon and admired the view.
And the animation was not particularly impressed with us. The guys did something, invented something. Perhaps we are bad, we did not pay much attention. But somehow we didn’t want to participate anywhere.
This hotel is just a fabulous place, and for winter it’s generally a super option. Take it, you won't regret it.
Quiet, calm, comfortable, tasty and beautiful.

We had a rest with two families with small children. Free of charge, they settled in nearby rooms near the playground. The entrance to the sea and the sea itself was seen better in Egypt. But overall the beach is good, the sunbeds were free at any time. The service in the restaurants is excellent and the cuisine is good.

The entrance to the sea and the sea itself was seen better in Egypt. But overall the beach is good, the sunbeds were free at any time.
The service in the restaurants is excellent and the cuisine is good. In our opinion, there is no children's menu.
It should be noted the good work of children's animators, Ani from Ukraine. The children were very interested.
Free mask and flipper rental by the pool.
Buffet in the main restaurant. By the pool and on the promenade near the beach, order from the menu, but everything is free on AI and everything is very tasty!
Retirement hotel. After 21 hours of silence, unlike neighboring hotels.
The water park is large, but very far. It is unclear how to walk the bus, you can wait at the stop for half an hour, there is no clear schedule. Instead, the driver is friendly, as are all staff.
According to the concept, residents of one hotel have the right to use the entire Makadi network. Went opposite the hotel on the second line to the sauna. And when they were there by the pool with a children's slide, the employee explained that we do not have the right to use their pool, as well as the pool bar.
In general, this is probably the only hotel in the Hurghada area, which I personally would go again.

We went to this wonderful hotel to celebrate the New Year with the whole family (my husband and I and two children: 5 years old and a year old) and with friends. I was there for the first time. So in order. 1. Settlement. I gave this hotel a rating of 9 only because of the accommodation. We were settled very quickly, although we arrived at 11 am, but they gave us a room near the sewer, which periodically "pleased" us with smells.

We went to this wonderful hotel to celebrate the New Year with the whole family (my husband and I and two children: 5 years old and a year old) and with friends. I was there for the first time. So in order.
1. Settlement. I gave this hotel a rating of 9 only because of the accommodation. We were settled very quickly, although we arrived at 11 am, but they gave us a room near the sewer, which periodically "pleased" us with smells. When we settled in, we did not notice it (hidden in the bushes) : )))) The room is excellent. Very nice, clean, good furniture. There is a TV with two Russian channels, a minibar (free only on the first emptying, all subsequent replenishments are paid), there is good plumbing in the shower room and everything you need; gels, soap, lotion, 2 bathrobes and slippers. They immediately brought a crib and made it up. Many of the rooms there have great balconies, enclosed, with a table and 2 chairs.
2. Staff. The staff of this hotel is its main gold. The service was the best. Everyone is extremely polite and friendly, any request is fulfilled quickly. Our cleaner was a miracle, we were extremely pleased with the cleanliness and comfort in the room, we left him $ 1, although they say that 1 pound is also possible. Every day a Russian girl came up to us and asked if everything was fine with us, if there were any wishes or complaints. In general, the staff is a big five.
3. Nutrition. The food in the main restaurant is very good, though not very varied, but everything is tasty and fresh. They allow you to take it out with you and even at your request they can carefully wrap it in foil (so that it does not get cold! ). All visitors for breakfast, lunch and dinner are greeted by a colorful Indian uncle with a chic mustache. Of course, everyone wants to take a picture with him. There is also a pool bar - there the menu is very different from the menu of the main restaurant, designed mainly for adults. With children, it is definitely better to eat in the main restaurant.
We went to an oriental restaurant - we do not recommend it to anyone, disgusting.
4. Sea and beach. The sea is clean, of unusual color; they say that the color of the water is only in Makadi. The beach is clean, well-groomed, the entry into the sea is excellent, slippers are not needed there. At 25-30m from the shore there is a live reef with fish, it is fenced with white buoys. The water was cold this time of year, but would that stop the Russians? We finally made it to the reef. Connoisseurs say that it is not as big and magnificent as the reef in Marsa Alam, but I have not been there, I can’t say anything about this. But I really liked it, I filmed a bunch of fish on video, and even now, when I review the footage, I feel an extraordinary feeling of beauty and unity with nature.
5. Pools. There is a large cold pool, a small heated pool and a no-fuss children's paddling pool. The pools are clean, "vacuumed" them every evening. There are a lot of loungers. The towels are good.
6. Territory. This is a separate song. One word - BEAUTIFUL!!! ! Even if you stay in another Makadi hotel, still go to the Iberotel for a tour and be sure to take a camera. You'll like it!
7. Children's leisure. There is a children's room. During our stay there were two women working there. One German woman is clearly of a Nordic character, the second is our girl Oksana, an enthusiast in her field and many thanks to her for her kindness, positive attitude, good attitude towards children and organizing children's discos! Once a week they make cakes with the children and decorate them with fruits. There is a playground, it is in the shade and covered with a thatched roof, but boring, there is nothing to do there. You can go with children to the hotel opposite, there is a better playground. What struck me was that this hotel (which is opposite, I don’t remember what it’s called) has a kids club, BUT only for German children!
8. Adult leisure. He's not there, but he's there. In the evenings, small performances are held in the tent, either by animators, or by inviting small (and not very professional) groups. What I didn't like - the tent is closed, there are a lot of smokers. If you do not smoke or with children, then you will not sit there for a long time.
There is a promenade along the beach, about 3 km long. All hotels along the promenade have open access to the territory. So you can go to a performance or a disco in other hotels. Opposite the hotel there are many small shops, you can arrange shopping. About a 10-minute drive from the hotel there is an excellent water park, however, we did not stay there due to strong winds. There seems to be WI-FI in the lobby, and I even connected a tablet to it, but the speed was zero. In general, "Faya, no wi-fi... "
There is a small gym with three treadmills and a bunch of iron. There are no abs and back machines.
At 16.00 right on the beach yoga.
9. Contingent. Makadi, it seemed to me, in general, for the most part, a resort for the Germans. In our hotel there were about 80% of them, in the neighboring ones it was the same. No tag. Everything is quiet and respectable.
10. New Year. The holiday itself was amazing. A large tennis court was covered with carpets and turned out to be a fabulous tent, there was a magnificent table (for the New Year's dinner they paid $ 75 separately when buying a ticket), animation and a disco at the end. Those who were with the kids did not get lost, they put them to sleep right there in the strollers, covered them from the light, put all the strollers in a row near the wall so that no one stumbled over them... the baby sniffed to loud music and noise, the parents came off...
11. In my opinion, this hotel is the best combination of quality service, excellent beach and leisure. I recommend it to everyone.

Good afternoon to all beach lovers in Egypt. So from the very beginning in order (15.06. 12 - 29.06. 12) - the hotel is simply WONDERFUL!! ! In the Makadi region, probably one of the top 5 *. Food - for Egypt, it's just wonderful: - Breakfast - well, like everywhere else, scrambled eggs with all the additives, vegetables, pastries, juices are all at the highest level, the staff is extremely good-natured, I recommend sitting down for breakfast in a far corner, it's cooler there; - lunch - who capricious children will be very happy because at lunch there are ALWAYS excellent EDIBLE soups of two types, either the senior manager of the hotel or the chef pours.

Several types of meat, beef stew, chicken and fish, the child himself ran for the supplement)) - Dinner - Also soups, the grill is just super, I recommend taking it, but in the common room everything is fine and worthy, there are a lot of things and I have never seen empty dishes, lonely bored)). The room is spacious, comfortable beds, there is a kettle, a safe, a spacious closet, a minibar for the most part paid, but soda and water are replenished freely every day. Slightly cramped shower. They clean mostly from the very morning until lunchtime, they do it very well so that the room is always clean, and the most important thing is that the cleaner does not turn off the air conditioner, so when you come from the sea you get into a pleasant coolness and there is a little time before dinner to take a breath. - The territory is always very clean, small lizards, birds, snails, butterflies, a lot of greenery, beautifully trimmed lawns and bushes, signs everywhere, even the cleaners are extremely polite and always greet and smile. - The beach - in my opinion the most comfortable in Makadi, spacious, there is no feeling that you are sitting on each other's heads, in the beach bar there is water, soda, juices and beer, there is no other alcohol, so they pour it only in the lobby at the reception and at the pool, well, it’s GOOD!! ! (in extreme cases, if you want, you can bring your own, we didn’t wear it). The reef, unfortunately, is not the same anymore, it is dying a little, but there are still a lot of living creatures, stingrays, fish, octopuses, mollusks, crabs, but there is nothing good near the coast, so that small children cannot frolic at low tide (but for those who are older, you can take a catamaran on our beach, it’s free and go on it for an hour and a half away from the coast to a depth, there is just something to see (tip: take plenty of fresh water and smear cream properly, you can burn very badly in an hour in the sea). In general, a good vacation for a family with children or the elderly , young people will probably be bored.

On the last evening, they even installed a heater in the "central square", heating the air and, in part, the rest. So the tent will be put up soon. I got 15 diplomas there (boccio and darts), however, I failed at the Olympics (2 bronzes out of 2 types * 2 times).

We rested in July 2011. To begin with, it took a long time to choose a hotel, as we were traveling with a child of 1 year and 8 months. And the month of July is hot : ) The main criterion was - no more than 5 minutes walk to the sea (after all, it’s not very pleasant to stomp with a child in the sun). I have already traveled to Egypt 10 times, lived in Cairo - I know the country from the inside, so we didn’t need any excursions, impressions, etc.

We rested in July 2011.
To begin with, it took a long time to choose a hotel, as we were traveling with a child of 1 year and 8 months. And the month of July is hot : ) The main criterion was - no more than 5 minutes walk to the sea (after all, it’s not very pleasant to stomp with a child in the sun). I have already traveled to Egypt 10 times, lived in Cairo - I know the country from the inside, so we didn’t need any excursions, impressions, etc. Only the sea and passive rest.
I must say right away that we traveled with Turtess, although we usually travel with Teztur. But in Kyiv, this hotel sells only Turtess, which is why they decided to change their habit. Usually a child under 2 years old is not paid (only 50-70 dollars airport tax). So we went before. We paid for a double room, the child slept with me. Just as always, I found the hotel and dates we needed in the "tour selection" on the tour operator's website. Chose number DBl. Prepared money for payment. But then the tour calls me. agency and says that we looked at the price incorrectly... it was necessary to indicate the presence of a child and his age in the selection. Which is what I did. As a result, the price turned out to be 600 dollars more expensive. Long digested information, but still decided to go. As I have now learned that such tour selection systems fail and automatically count the child after 2 years, no matter what age you indicated. Natural tour. the operator modestly kept silent about this fact. Well, it is. You have to learn from your own mistakes : )
So.
ACCOMMODATION: We arrived at the hotel around 6 pm. We (I, my mother and son) and another company from our city, a person of 8. I'm used to the fact that you usually wait for resettlement for a long time. Prepared 20 dollars for faster resettlement. We were offered to sit down, collected passports, brought juice. Five minutes later they returned the passports and offered to follow the manager. He took us to the room, came with us, asked if we liked everything and said, if there are any problems, come to the reception. Honestly, I was in a quiet shock... what would they settle in Egypt in 5 minutes! What is nice, the air conditioner was already on in the room... and the heat, I'll tell you, is not sickly on the street. Well, of course, fruit, some sweets, wine, a figurine with a welcome letter on the bed, 2 papyrus. A trifle - but nice. Moreover, they settled on the first floor, which was very good, since we have a stroller (last time in Sharm we had to carry the stroller to the third floor and back for 2 weeks). there was already a crib in the room, which I asked to be removed, since my son sleeps on a regular bed (while we went to dinner, the bed had already been removed).
They settled us in the 4th building. It is very close to all infrastructure and 2 minutes to the sea. But I'll tell you that having explored the entire territory of the hotel - we never found the "village". even the most distant 9th building is very conveniently located, from it a maximum of 5 minutes walk to the beach, restaurant, pool, etc.
ROOM: We liked the room. Large terrace, view of the pool, but you can only hear it, because "in front of the nose" is a large wall of greenery. Flat TV, 2 Russian channels, a filled minibar (there is a menu that says what is paid, what is not. Replenished every day). There were 2 more bottles of wine, but there was a label hanging that they were paid. Kettle, cups, glasses, corkscrew, tea, coffee, sugar. There was a bag with a receipt for the laundry (which we successfully used every day). The air conditioner worked well. I can't say he didn't make noise. He worked as usual, but did not interfere with sleep at all. Ants constantly crawled into the room from the balcony. They did not interfere with us, since they did not keep any food in the room. We are generally insect friendly. But next. day, the cleaner himself poisoned them: (By the way, on the second day they knocked on the door, I open it, there is a cleaner and some other Arab. They say that your drain barrel is noisy, they came to fix it. I was surprised because I didn’t notice at all what was there something is noisy (the door is solid, you can't hear anything when the bathroom is closed. ) It was fixed in 5 minutes, the cleaner came again and washed the toilet (the Arab there splashed a little water). Cleaning is normal. Judged by clean heels after wiping the floor : )) unless you throw it on the floor. Bed linen was changed for us every day, since they didn’t wear a diaper for a child in such a heat, so sometimes small accidents happened : ))) On the 5th day, the cleaner also began to put a spare sheet in the closet and a pillowcase for us : ))) Naturally they twisted all sorts of figures from towels. Renk liked it. Every day the cleaner was waiting for a dollar in our room. By the way, my son was pretty good at painting the walls with pencils. The janitor silently wiped my child's art every day : ))
FOOD: I liked it too. We ate breakfast and dinner in the main restaurant. They stopped going there for lunch, as dinners were prepared from the leftovers of a half-eaten dinner. We went to a restaurant on the beach or by the pool. The main restaurant has a buffet. On the beach and by the pool - order from the menu. Everything is very tasty and varied. You can take ice cream for lunch by the pool (there is a refrigerator, you have to take it yourself. You can choose from a white and chocolate cone). For dinner at the main restaurant. You have to pick it up with a special ice cream scoop. 4 types to choose from. Very tasty pastries. In the morning all sorts of buns (mostly puff pastry). For dinner, buns, cake, jelly, mousses. There are enough fruits: dates, bananas, apples, watermelon, melon, plums and something else that tastes like cherry plum. We didn’t go to the Arabic restaurant, as we were told that there is the same as in the main one, only they bring in portions. Vegetables - none. But this is a problem for many hotels. Ham, cheese for breakfast - you show, they cut it in front of you. Children's menu - french fries, sausages, etc. Moreover, many are worried that the child has nothing to eat... nothing like that. My son was happy to eat soups, a variety of rice, meat, seafood, pizza by the pool such that a child can also be safely given. I was always looking forward to dessert: ) in the morning, a "healthy eating corner": cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt, bran bread, diet jams. Juices are not diluted, but from packages. We didn’t drink alcohol - I don’t know what and how. But cool different non-alcoholic cocktails interfered. waffles were fried by the pool for lunch. In general, anyone who writes that they have lost weight due to poor nutrition is disingenuous. everyone will find something tasty to eat.
BEACH: good, wide. Entrance to the sea on the sand. Coral nearby. on the beach 2 catamarans and 2 kayaks for free use. There were always enough beds. Towels were changed when they wanted. Constantly held different competitions between hotels (such as the Olympics).
ANIMATION: I must say right away that the hotel is advertised as "for a relaxing holiday", so the animation is unobtrusive. Heard complaints from tourists, they say they do not entertain, "a hotel for pensioners. " This was stated in the description of the hotel. It is necessary to read carefully. there is no music on the beach. in the evenings, usually either a show (swallowing swords, walking on broken glass, etc. ), or live music. Everything ends around 10. For those who wish, there is a disco La Locca across the road. There is no disco in the hotel itself. Only for children : ). Mini club - normal. But Russian girls are always a little sleepy (it seems that a night visit to a disco affects: ). One Arab woman plows - as I understand it, she is in charge of children's animation.
STAFF: friendly. But not from the breadth of my soul, but from the fear of losing my job. Questionnaires are constantly being held at dinner. We filled out the questionnaire 3 times - evaluating the service. Some Arabs (as usual) flirt with tourists, but mostly with those who want it. A waiter came up to me at breakfast and asked me to take a picture with him, I was unhappy, because at that moment I was feeding the child. A minute later we were served by another waiter.
All in all, we had a great time! Would love to visit this hotel again! Or maybe more than once : )
To begin with, it took a long time to choose a hotel, as we were traveling with a child of 1 year and 8 months. And the month of July is hot : ) The main criterion was - no more than 5 minutes walk to the sea (after all, it’s not very pleasant to stomp with a child in the sun). I have already traveled to Egypt 10 times, lived in Cairo - I know the country from the inside, so we didn’t need any excursions, impressions, etc. Only the sea and passive rest.
I must say right away that we traveled with Turtess, although we usually travel with Teztur. But in Kyiv, this hotel sells only Turtess, which is why they decided to change their habit. Usually a child under 2 years old is not paid (only 50-70 dollars airport tax). So we went before. We paid for a double room, the child slept with me. Just as always, I found the hotel and dates we needed in the "tour selection" on the tour operator's website. Chose number DBl. Prepared money for payment. But then the tour calls me. agency and says that we looked at the price incorrectly... it was necessary to indicate the presence of a child and his age in the selection. Which is what I did. As a result, the price turned out to be 600 dollars more expensive. Long digested information, but still decided to go. As I have now learned that such tour selection systems fail and automatically count the child after 2 years, no matter what age you indicated. Natural tour. the operator modestly kept silent about this fact. Well, it is. You have to learn from your own mistakes : )
So.
ACCOMMODATION: We arrived at the hotel around 6 pm. We (I, my mother and son) and another company from our city, a person of 8. I'm used to the fact that you usually wait for resettlement for a long time. Prepared 20 dollars for faster resettlement. We were offered to sit down, collected passports, brought juice. Five minutes later they returned the passports and offered to follow the manager. He took us to the room, came with us, asked if we liked everything and said, if there are any problems, come to the reception. Honestly, I was in a quiet shock... what would they settle in Egypt in 5 minutes! What is nice, the air conditioner was already on in the room... and the heat, I'll tell you, is not sickly on the street. Well, of course, fruit, some sweets, wine, a figurine with a welcome letter on the bed, 2 papyrus. A trifle - but nice. Moreover, they settled on the first floor, which was very good, since we have a stroller (last time in Sharm we had to carry the stroller to the third floor and back for 2 weeks). there was already a crib in the room, which I asked to be removed, since my son sleeps on a regular bed (while we went to dinner, the bed had already been removed).
They settled us in the 4th building. It is very close to all infrastructure and 2 minutes to the sea. But I'll tell you that having explored the entire territory of the hotel - we never found the "village". even the most distant 9th building is very conveniently located, from it a maximum of 5 minutes walk to the beach, restaurant, pool, etc.
ROOM: We liked the room. Large terrace, view of the pool, but you can only hear it, because "in front of the nose" is a large wall of greenery. Flat TV, 2 Russian channels, a filled minibar (there is a menu that says what is paid, what is not. Replenished every day). There were 2 more bottles of wine, but there was a label hanging that they were paid. Kettle, cups, glasses, corkscrew, tea, coffee, sugar. There was a bag with a receipt for the laundry (which we successfully used every day). The air conditioner worked well. I can't say he didn't make noise. He worked as usual, but did not interfere with sleep at all. Ants constantly crawled into the room from the balcony. They did not interfere with us, since they did not keep any food in the room. We are generally insect friendly. But next. day, the cleaner himself poisoned them: (By the way, on the second day they knocked on the door, I open it, there is a cleaner and some other Arab. They say that your drain barrel is noisy, they came to fix it. I was surprised because I didn’t notice at all what was there something is noisy (the door is solid, you can't hear anything when the bathroom is closed. ) It was fixed in 5 minutes, the cleaner came again and washed the toilet (the Arab there splashed a little water). Cleaning is normal. Judged by clean heels after wiping the floor : )) unless you throw it on the floor. Bed linen was changed for us every day, since they didn’t wear a diaper for a child in such a heat, so sometimes small accidents happened : ))) On the 5th day, the cleaner also began to put a spare sheet in the closet and a pillowcase for us : ))) Naturally they twisted all sorts of figures from towels. Renk liked it. Every day the cleaner was waiting for a dollar in our room. By the way, my son was pretty good at painting the walls with pencils. The janitor silently wiped my child's art every day : ))
FOOD: I liked it too. We ate breakfast and dinner in the main restaurant. They stopped going there for lunch, as dinners were prepared from the leftovers of a half-eaten dinner. We went to a restaurant on the beach or by the pool. The main restaurant has a buffet. On the beach and by the pool - order from the menu. Everything is very tasty and varied. You can take ice cream for lunch by the pool (there is a refrigerator, you have to take it yourself. You can choose from a white and chocolate cone). For dinner at the main restaurant. You have to pick it up with a special ice cream scoop. 4 types to choose from. Very tasty pastries. In the morning all sorts of buns (mostly puff pastry). For dinner, buns, cake, jelly, mousses. There are enough fruits: dates, bananas, apples, watermelon, melon, plums and something else that tastes like cherry plum. We didn’t go to the Arabic restaurant, as we were told that there is the same as in the main one, only they bring in portions. Vegetables - none. But this is a problem for many hotels. Ham, cheese for breakfast - you show, they cut it in front of you. Children's menu - french fries, sausages, etc. Moreover, many are worried that the child has nothing to eat... nothing like that. My son was happy to eat soups, a variety of rice, meat, seafood, pizza by the pool such that a child can also be safely given.

We went to this hotel with two families in July 2011. In general, I liked everything. There is something to compare with. Of the pluses, one can note beautiful rooms, helpful staff, good food, good animation, few compatriots. The majority of the hotel staff are Germans. Among them are many former compatriots who emigrated in the 90s.

Of the pluses, one can note beautiful rooms, helpful staff, good food, good animation, few compatriots. The majority of the hotel staff are Germans. Among them are many former compatriots who emigrated in the 90s. I really liked the organized tour of the kitchen and the acquaintance with the chef. A normal beach with a rather interesting coral reef 30 meters from the shore. In general, normal coral reefs in the Hurghada area are rare. But this one is a rare exception. I hung on it for over an hour. I do not recommend going to these parts in July, it is too hot. At the same time, the water in the sea in the morning is not a comfortable enough temperature. There is nothing to do in Makadi in the evening. In addition to your hotel, you can only go to a disco and animation in the neighboring ones or ride a "train". Sometimes they could not accommodate in the dining room, but this is not surprising, because there were 6 of us. Sometimes there was not enough beer (there was one foam and there was a queue). It would also be nice to get the hotel its own pontoon. In general, we can recommend this hotel for a quiet family holiday. My score is 4.5 out of five.

I must say right away that we went a little, a couple of places in Turkey, the 4th hotel in Egypt, just if we liked it, we return to this hotel several times.
We went to the hotel from Mostrevel. There were four of us at the hotel - three adults and one child (parents and 2 daughters aged 7 and 13) from 25.05. 11 to 08.06. 11. Departure from Domodedovo at 7-15, Transaero, in flight 4 hours 15 minutes. We took an individual transfer from the airport (that is, four of us traveled in a small bus) and arrived before everyone else, since from the very beginning we wanted either a connection room or two rooms nearby, but in Moscow we could not confirm such accommodation. As soon as we went to the reception, we were offered cold juice and rooms 1011.1013 and showed them on the hotel map, and when we said that we wanted two rooms next to each other, after 3 minutes we were offered two neighboring rooms on the first floor in the second sector, they showed these rooms on the map and said how much time to the sea, to the main restaurant and to the pool.
And all this at no additional cost. Immediately warned that the hotel does not have to pay for anything. Luggage was taken from us immediately after the exit of their bus to be taken to the room, and after we agreed to such accommodation, they sent us to Tarasina for a late breakfast. There were very appetizing buns and orange juice. Later we were taken to our rooms 2118 and 2119. Fruit, a bottle of white wine, slippers, bathrobes and everything else were waiting for us in the room... The location turned out to be very successful: next to the pool, in the middle between the main restaurant and the sea, the windows overlooked a small garden. It is difficult to find shortcomings in rooms and accommodation, but I will try: there were a couple of annoying mosquitoes and one morning we were woken up by a dove who loudly called his dove. At first, we were very surprised that there were very few people everywhere: a couple of Germans swam in the pool, sunbeds on the beach were empty, tables in the main restaurant were always free.
Even at the evening show, half the tables remained free. But after the first of June, people drove up, there were a little more people, but still there was always enough space for everyone, there was no need to occupy tables or sunbeds in advance. At what time you would not come to the pool or the beach there will always be free umbrellas with sunbeds. Pleased with the absence of constantly rumbling music on the beach or near the pool. Music near the pool only when the animators do water aerobics or something like that. There are animators, they take care of you, they call you, but they don’t bother you, if you just want to turn from side to side, they won’t bother you like a vegetable in the garden. Now about food. We ate at the main restaurant, didn’t go a la carte, drinks during the day from the bars on the beach and by the pool. Everywhere there is the usual set + coffee machines and you will be brewed espresso or cappuccino. The main restaurant has a normal breakfast, an average lunch, but a royal dinner. What I especially liked
the fact that there are no huge vats with, say, cucumbers or other herbs piled there, but there are small bowls of vegetables and a table nearby, at which a person constantly cuts fresh vegetables. The same situation with cheeses and sausages. If you don't have enough choice of 5-7 types of meat or poultry + 2-3 fish options for dinner... then I don't know what else you need. Seafood is also regularly included in the diet. Another moment at dinner there is a cook and, as needed, bakes either donuts or apples in dough, pancakes... Ice cream after 12 near the pool and at dinner, one evening there was no ice cream at dinner, my 7-year-old daughter went to ask “where? ”and after 5 minutes he brought her a bowl of ice cream of all varieties to the table, the same story repeated itself on our last dinner at the hotel. There are no crowds or lines. On the beach, free rental of catamarans, canoes, masks, flippers. The entrance to the sea is gentle sand, there are very few corals, that is, there are fewer fish than in Sharm.
There is a diving center nearby, but the prices are exactly 2 times higher than in Hurghada. On the beach ride horses and camels $10. We noticed the difference between the beach of our hotel and the rest in that on other beaches, umbrellas and sunbeds are very close to each other, that is, more people are accommodated in the same area, we have room. Internet for free for half an hour per person for your entire vacation, if you need another $ 5, the same half an hour costs. The service staff in bars and restaurants is friendly, well-trained, helpful. All the staff are very friendly, we have a lot of contacts with them and emails and phones. We left their hotel at 17-25, extended 1 room until 17 hours (40 euros), 10 bartenders and waiters came to see us off. Departure at 21-05, was delayed for 40 minutes, as one passenger became ill on the plane and the issue of his disembarkation was being decided. It was very stuffy on the plane back.
I liked the hotel very much, the attitude towards the Russians is no worse than towards the Germans,
We'll be back in August hopefully.
