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.

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

People be careful! They steal in the rooms, brazenly, on the first day they stole $ 100. They asked to call the police, pretended to have called....after 3 days they asked to write that we had no complaints... they regretted... they wrote (at least they caught a cleanboy on a hot one) They thanked us know how? 10 minutes before the transfer to the airport they brought some 2 dirty towels and demanded to pay for them! We handed over the room at 11 o’clock, there were no problems.

We handed over the room at 11 o’clock, there were no problems..... When we were reminded of the c / n at the beginning of the holiday, they let us go . . The transver was late for 1.5 hours... When they began to resent, the guide Ibrahim said: if you don’t like it, don’t come!
We are not young people, only we were in Egypt 9 times . . we chose the best and most expensive hotel... but still the same service... at least 10 glue-Russian-speaking stars are humiliated, they lick the heels of the Germans... in everything . . They left everywhere tips....Everything had to be asked: shampoo, water, coffee in the room for a favor... take the menu, serve 10 Germans then look in your direction (rest. Tavern). This is how the efforts of the owners go down the drain,
who created excellent conditions for relaxation! EVERYTHING is thought out to the smallest detail... the food is super! comfort . . beauty . . there is a lot of space for everyone... the bar in the pool is just great, the best guys... the rooms are chic... the atmosphere of peace and quiet... even the repair of the main pool during the whole holiday did not prevent us with its noise. . many other advantages!
I wrote all this so that they would not let themselves be offended and would not forgive everything, as we....do not appreciate... !! ! Forewarned is forearmed! And the hotel itself is very good... the staff would have to bring up... all the same 5 stars !! !

Pros: 1. No small children 2. Good rooms in terms of equipment 3. Beautiful view from the pools 4. For Hurghada, a very good reef. Minuses: 1. Entry into the sea along the reef. You can break your legs. 10 min walk to the pontoon. 2. A list of restaurants and bars on 4 sheets, but it is almost impossible to figure out their working hours, a very torn regime (some for 2 hours and with breaks).

Pros:
1. No small children
2. Good rooms in terms of equipment
3. Beautiful view from the pools
4. For Hurghada, a very good reef.
Minuses:
1. Entry into the sea along the reef. You can break your legs. 10 min walk to the pontoon.
2. A list of restaurants and bars on 4 sheets, but it is almost impossible to figure out their working hours, a very torn regime (some for 2 hours and with breaks). By the way, there is no clock anywhere (because Spa : )! There are no umbrellas at all in one of the pool bars (+42 C is comfortable: )
3. Nutrition. Everything is cooked on the grill. Dried out and over-peppered terribly. Fruit is also a problem.
4. Alcohol. Warm beer is the norm. The bar at the main pool (and not only it) is paid. As a result, it is always empty (prices are the same as in Radisson Sochi). Bottom line: free, often warm beer by the pools until 17-00. In the evening, alcohol in the Vanilla bar. (You won’t figure out the rest of the nooks called bars and buffets)
5. Dust is everywhere in the corridors and on the wooden carnage (and there are many of them). Many have clogged sinks.
There is no glass in some places in the windows of the corridor. Little greenery in the territory.
6. Guest-Relationship (I think Tatyana) does not work. Doesn't even answer emails.
7. Room service DOES NOT WORK! (couldn't even blow up with the paid lunch!!! )
8. Half an hour before closing, they may not be allowed into the restaurant (Cove checked). For 15 minutes they will ask you to hurry up with chewing food, because they are closing.
9. Swimming pools require major repairs. Tiles fell off in places. I cut my leg (not much).
10. General feeling of abandonment. . .

Over the years, you realize that the second time with a rake is not so painful. Therefore, the decision came to step on them again in terms of a trip to Egypt. Taking into account the previous trip, a hotel of the category "only adults 18+" was chosen. We stopped at Makadi Spa. Tour operator Biblioglobus, carrier Transaero.

Over the years, you realize that the second time with a rake is not so painful. Therefore, the decision came to step on them again in terms of a trip to Egypt.
Taking into account the previous trip, a hotel of the category "only adults 18+" was chosen. We stopped at Makadi Spa. Tour operator Biblioglobus, carrier Transaero.
Apparently the stars on this trip favored us, so almost the entire vacation we were pursued by small pleasant bonuses.
The first bonus is a plane on a flight to Hurghada B777. Instead of B767, on schedule. A very rare bird in our Siberian regions. Grandiose construction! One of its advantages is high flight speed. For almost the entire flight, the navigator showed speeds far beyond 900 km/h. The result was a fairly comfortable flight duration of 7 hours 40 minutes.
Upon arrival, visas for $ 25 from the nose, passport control, luggage and on the bus.
The second bonus is a small bus. There are only 9 of us in it. We are not waiting for anyone and we are on our way. Forty minutes later we arrived at the Red Sea Hotels complex. Makadi Spa was just me and my wife.
The third bonus is accommodation. We arrived at the hotel at 11:50. Filling out the questionnaire, a bracelet (I just want to say - a collar! ), A brief briefing with a memo in your native language and in the room.
The fourth bonus is a number. Many people write that Russians are accommodated on the "zero" floor of this hotel. In fact, he is second. We also got room 6163. This is the third floor and the penultimate room along the corridor, towards the sea. With a corner, open balcony overlooking the sea.
We were not charged any money for early check-in or for the room. Only standard tips.
The room is decent. Two zone. With normal lighting, and not the usual twilight for hotels. TV, safe, refrigerator. Good bathroom. No bath, only shower. Closet for clothes of open type, without doors. It's unusual, it's all over the place. Beach towels in the room, in a beach bag.
Change of beach towels. In the evening, around 18:00, leave wet clothes at the door to your room. Outside. With or without a bag. You will change them. If you leave it in the bag, then the clean ones will also be left in the bag at the door. If you leave without a bag, then the clean ones will be brought to the room.
Cleaning. There is no system in this. They can clean up before lunch, or maybe in the late afternoon. And it does not depend on your presence or absence in the room. Well, "money" is certainly welcome.
Beach. With a Makadi Spa bracelet, you can access the pools and beaches of the nearby Makadi Palace, Grand Makadi and Sunwing Makadi. Despite the fact that from about six o'clock in the morning itching begins to occupy sunbeds, there are always free sunbeds. We came after nine and there were always free sunbeds. Makadi Spa has a small piece of its own beach. Guests of other hotels are not allowed on it. I myself witnessed the expulsion from the Makadi Spa beach of the wearer of a bracelet of a different color. At Makadi Spa, the bracelet is grey-silver.
The pontoon is located at the Grand Makadi Hotel. To the left along the sea, about ten minutes at a very slow pace. Deep. Beautiful, but not enough living creatures. We liked the descent into the sea just to the right of the Makadi Spa beach. Passages through the coral are marked with ropes with buoys. Comfortable to call these passages language does not turn. However, you quickly get used to it. Swimming shoes are required.
Fauna. There are a lot of fish! Various. We saw stingrays almost every day. A sort of frying pan with a handle! We saw a moray once. Not very big. A meter and a half long. Although water increases. But it's still scary. The fish are simply uncountable. Especially if you violate one of the prohibitions.
Food. Above all praise. And breakfast and lunch and dinner. In addition, cafes and restaurants with a Makadi Spa bracelet can go to all neighboring hotels. I repeat - beyond praise!
Territory. Very big. Green.
It should be noted that the majority of vacationers in Makadi Spa are older. Youth certainly meets, but very little. Because most vacationers smile at each other and greet each other when they meet, we can conclude that there are almost no compatriots. Well, there are no children, because only adults are 18+.
Dress code. This also has a certain plus. In the evening in the restaurant, the vast majority of ladies in evening dresses. Hairstyles, outfits, gold and stones. They look jealously at each other's outfits and jewelry. In a word - pleasing to the eye! Of course, men are simpler, but nevertheless there are no frank chmyrdyaev in beach shorts.
If you want the staff to rustle around your table, don't be greedy. One dollar will not ruin you, but the waiter will be happy and you will feel much more comfortable.
Shopping. On the territory there are various shops with souvenirs and beach and bathing accessories. There is also a pharmacy and an ATM. There is, so to speak, a shopping center with the proud name of Makadi Mall.
The fifth bonus is complex. This is a small shuttle bus to the airport. This is the absence of a queue at the entrance to the airport and the complete absence of a queue at the check-in counters. This landing and takeoff minute by minute. True, the plane is already B767, but it can be infinitely good only in fairy tales. B777 on the flight to Hurghada, it was clearly a super bonus from Transaero.
That is, the forehead clearly began to get used to it and the blow with the rake was no longer felt so painful.
From what, to put it mildly, I didn’t like it, or at least left me at a loss, these are very cold pools.
General conclusion. The hotel is very good. You can rest in Egypt. Not as comfortable as in Southeast Asia, but you can find your own rest algorithm.
Certainly respect Biblioglobus and Transaero.

I want to warn everyone who decides to choose this hotel - be careful! I will not write about the advantages of this most expensive of all Makadi Bay hotels, because what happened to me there crossed out everything. So. I decided to go to Egypt for my birthday. I have it on March 20 and chose the Makadi spa hotel.

I want to warn everyone who decides to choose this hotel - be careful! I will not write about the advantages of this most expensive of all Makadi Bay hotels, because what happened to me there crossed out everything. So. I decided to go to Egypt for my birthday. I have it on March 20 and chose the Makadi spa hotel. In Egypt, before that, I had already been several times in other hotels. I took $1.000 with me and withdrew it from the bank. I gave every day a tip to the cleaner, because he honestly constantly begged for them, guarded at the room or knocked on the door. Yes, and in bars where all inclusive, they constantly tried to breed for money for alcohol. They said that here it is paid (it will not work). In general, divorce and begging at every turn. Attitude towards Russians is disrespectful - Several times they were frankly rude, saying: "freebie", "our rush", etc. There are no disposable glasses in the bar on the beach - The glasses were very dirty. About the swill, I'm already silent - it does not stand up to criticism. At best, diluted wine. But the worst thing is what happened at the end. Just before leaving, I ran into the Makadi Mall store, on the territory of the Makadi chain hotels. I went to the jewelry store on the 2nd floor to buy a silver ring for $70 as a gift for my mother. The seller took a $ 100 bill from me, went somewhere with it and returned it to me, saying that it was fake. I asked for another, I was confused and gave. Did the same with her. And so on. returned $200 to me as counterfeit, advising that there should be no problem to hide them away. He accepted the 3rd 100 and gave change from it. All the money was withdrawn by me from the bank before leaving, and there is no doubt about their authenticity. I assumed that this was a divorce, but I was without witnesses and I was afraid to raise a kipesh. I could still be blamed for everything. Returning to the hotel, I took the remaining $ 500 from the safe in the room, where they were kept all the time, and upon arrival in Moscow, it turned out that they were all fake!! ! That is, they changed $ 700 for me! - 200 - the seller of Makadi Mall (shop on site), and another 500 in the safe by the hotel staff. Either everything was changed in the safe, and the seller had nothing to do with it. It doesn’t matter to me now, because I was carrying real dollars to Egypt, but I brought fake ones. Complete shock. And most importantly, I can’t do anything and prove it, and no one will answer for it. Where to apply now? The creatures did this on the last day, in the expectation that I would leave and that's it (in the first days I spent dollars - massages, etc. and there were no problems. They always asked when I was leaving - and that's it). I will never go to this country again and I do not recommend it to anyone. A scammer on a scammer and a disgusting attitude towards Russians. And if you do, then avoid this hotel. this is what a gift I made for my birthday by going to Makadi Spa (the cost for 1 person is 62 thousand per week. And the replacement of $ 700 = 40 thousand rubles was stolen from me by the hotel staff ( Draw your own conclusions. It would be better for this money to another country traveled. . .

Flight from "Trans" and transfer to the hotel - excellent! Check-in with a slight hitch, at first they gave room 6303 (3rd floor, far wing) with a good view of the Grand and the sea, but with a broken elevator. After the request, they changed it without problems to 6331 (with 3 elevators in the central part of the building), since the rooms were there.

Flight from "Trans" and transfer to the hotel - excellent!
Check-in with a slight hitch, at first they gave room 6303 (3rd floor, far wing) with a good view of the Grand and the sea, but with a broken elevator.
After the request, they changed it without problems to 6331 (with 3 elevators in the central part of the building), since the rooms were there. Thanks to the Russian-speaking employee at the reception. There are a few tourists from the Russian Federation in the hotel. Mostly Europe. As it turned out, the Europeans also have cattle (the Germans excelled). The hotel itself is small, but you can freely move around the Grand, Palace and Sunwing (the most beautiful hotel in this four)
The food is excellent (breakfast and dinner), it's a pity there is no buffet for lunch, but there are a lot of restaurants and "snacks", as well as the possibility of eating in any of the above hotels (except Sunving). The main problem in Spa restaurants is the menu in English and the lack of waiters who understand Russian. But in general the atmosphere is pleasant. There is no difference in the quality of service between Russian and European tourists. On the contrary, the waiters said (who could) that the Russians are not so demanding and do not immediately run to complain, unlike from Europeans.
The sea..... the spa does not have a sea! You need to spank to the Sanvinga beach (there are also umbrellas and spa loungers). But even there you can get to depths of 40-100 meters. Good for children. There are a lot of inhabitants of the underwater world.
It makes no sense to go to Makadi Spa (overpay), there are no children, but a drunken army from the old world is no better, as it turned out, Sunwing is much more interesting with its water park, territory and beach.
