СЧАСТЬЕ ЕСТЬ HAPPINNES EXISTS

I never liked the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Hurghada, a long time ago I was in Mars, but out of 11 days we never swam, a red flag hung, the choice always fell on Sharm, but this time the stars were arranged differently and the choice, thanks to the advice of experienced tourists, fell on the area Makadi Bay. Initially, I didn’t like the Spa from the photo, I watched Makadi Grand, but again, experienced people praised the spa and it happened.
Departure at 4 am UIA (((. "The miracle girl Violetta with a wry expression on her face gives us tickets at different ends of the plane, I hope she got credit for it. To all the questions: why is this so? After all, only the beginning of registration? - our system automatically seats everyone! !!! then you will change!!! ! Already there I felt that it was not so and turned out to be right. UIA, like many does not feed, from drinks, water and soda. We flew quickly. At the airport, besides us, there was only one plane from Europe ( I still remember well the golden years of tourism in Egypt, when planes landed every 5 minutes and the airport was packed), everything went quickly, they took the suitcase, got on the bus, and here again the wonderful guide Join Apa did not rush anywhere, made an extra half an hour to wait for the tourists he looked through and counted incorrectly on the bus, we set off, our hotel was one of the last, the trip to the hotel took more than an hour... While we were driving, we listened to a "new song for the inexperienced" - even if you were in Egypt recently, you still need to come to a meeting with guide, there will be a policeman man, he will put a number on your voucher (almost a concentration camp) and you can’t go anywhere without it, and then he will check you in for the flight, yeah, now the police are registering for the flight, of course we didn’t go anywhere, no one was looking for us)))) )) we didn’t see the guide at the hotel, on the way back the whole bus complained that the guide didn’t give the time for the return flight, we found out about the time at the reception.
Accommodation and number.

At half 10 in the morning we stood at the reception, but the super friendly staff said how they cut off - check-in at 14.00, our whole hotel is busy (feeling a catch here too), I say that I work in tourism and the hotel was very praised by my tourists, I didn’t think that you don’t need tourists at all))) The manager realized that he went too far, but it’s also not in his rules to give up, he says that once in tourism, I let you eat for now, but come up to 12, the room is being cleaned for now)))) Having eaten and bathed, received the keys, opened the door and saw a royal room, compared to all the hotels in Egypt that we managed to visit (booked a junior suite). The bathroom has 3 rooms (a toilet, a bathroom with a shower and a washroom with two washbasins, a huge sleeping area and a relaxation area. And what is the size of the balcony? This is a whole room in terms of area. In the bathroom, all accessories are shampoo, balm, gel shower, body cream, hair cap. Towels and bed linen of very good quality, there was a lack of a bathrobe. they are changed to clean ones. Always meeting, he asked if we were satisfied with the cleaning. The furniture is clean, new, pleasant.
Contingent
In addition to us, there was one couple of young people, one girl who flew with us and 2 couples from Western Ukraine 45+, the rest were Germans and Benelux, therefore the attitude towards tourists in the hotel is very good, but 99% are pensioners. the staff tries very hard to please, remembers that he ordered, where he sat, etc. , tourists do not remain in debt, always with a tip
Nutrition
The hotel has one main restaurant and several bars that work at different times, it’s impossible to remember everything, upon check-in you will be given detailed information in the booklet, also guests of Makadi Spa can use all the restaurants on the territory of the complex, which includes 5 hotels around, we have them there was no time to walk, and the quality of drinks in the neighboring ones was worse than in ours, so there was no desire to even go somewhere to eat... We always had breakfast in the main, dined in a restaurant on the second floor overlooking the whole of Makadi Bay. We had dinner at a la carte - was in fish and steak, don’t believe it’s good, but good... The food is standard, as in all hotels, this was not surprising
Beach and reef

To the pontoon, go along the promenade along the two hotels, it’s about 5-7 minutes at a leisurely pace, the pontoon is long, the reef is beautiful, in addition to the usual Egyptian fish, we saw rays and a huge 2-meter moray eel, we didn’t catch the turtles . . we swam both towards Madinat Makadi and towards our hotel, it seemed to us that if you enter directly from our beach and swim across the corals, here is the best reef, definitely better than Sharmovsky, closer to the pier the reef is worse, be sure to wear coral slippers, I don’t know how Europe enters, I saw them more near the pool, but the entrance from the shores are broken legs, be very careful. I was very interested in the mask that the Europeans bring with them, I found one on the Decatelon, read the reviews, on the beach at the very entrance to the Pisr-$55 asks, right from our hotel if you go towards the pier in the kiosk $ 35 is the same. they carry delicious fresh juices on the beach - 3 dollars, scatter
The flight back was at 19:00, we were picked up from the hotel at 1525, at 12 we checked in the room (extension 40 euros), they were allowed to have lunch and then they gave the room to change clothes and wash after the beach
In general, Makadi was a discovery for us, but when she told those who were here after the opening, they didn’t even step here
