Good day to all!
My review will be divided into sections:
1. Accommodation and room
2. Nutrition
3. Territory
4. Animation
5. Beach
6. Service
7. The contingent of vacationers
8. Water park
And so in order
1. We arrived at the hotel at 14-45, we were immediately sent to the restaurant for lunch, then immediately provided a room. The room was 243 (second floor) with a view of the neighboring hotels, one of which is under construction, but this does not interfere with the rest at all. The room is clean, everything worked. The room has a filled minibar, naturally paid. 1 bottle of water 1.5 liters upon arrival free of charge (then you can take water from the pool bar). What I personally lacked in the room was bedside tables, where all sorts of women's things can be folded.

2. The food is good, quite varied. Breakfast is the same every day, but there are many dishes to choose from. There are always new dishes for lunch and dinner. I have never been poisoned by anything, although my stomach is weak, I ate salads and other cold snacks, everything is fine. Buns and other pastries, as always in Egypt, the sea. The wine in the hotel is quite tolerable (I just remember diluted bourda in other, even 5-star hotels), beer is normal, powdered juices, cola, sprites, etc. present, I don’t drink strong drinks, so I can’t say anything about them.
3. The territory of the hotel itself is not large, but you can use the territories of the entire Madinat Makadi, these are about 10 hotels united by one fence. Everything is very beautiful, the trees are conceived in bizarre forms, everything blooms and smells sweet. Everything is very clean, no rubbish. In Madinat there are shops with souvenirs, the prices in them are the same as in Hurghada, bargain boldly, they will drop half the price. There is a grocery store and a bank not far from the hotel. In the evening you can ride the Taf-taf (such a train). There is a general disco, open on Wednesdays, but we did not go to it. There is a Spa center next to the hotel, you will be told about it on the very first day on the beach or by the pool.
4. In the afternoon you will be offered to do gymnastics, aqua aerobics, belly dancing, volleyball, boccia, maybe I forgot something else. In the evening every day some show and disco. The level of animation is average.
5. The hotel is located on the 2nd line, but it is not far to go to the sea, especially in such a beautiful area. The beach is its own, there were always enough sunbeds for everyone. The entrance to the sea is very convenient, sandy (perhaps the best in the bay), you can go barefoot, although it is better to wear special shoes. Not far from the coast there are coral reefs, they are fenced with buoys. If you confidently stay on the water, then it is quite possible to swim to them and even swim around, especially near the reefs, a shoal on which you can safely walk. Because the sea is shallow and the bottom is sandy, the water is not very clear, especially when the sea is restless.

6. Service at the hotel is beyond praise. If you are not a nasty beech, then you will be groomed and cherished there. The next day after checking in at the reception, we were asked if we were satisfied with the room, if everything was working. The waiters are always polite and smiling. Cleaning in the room is perfect, every day a new "twist" of towels. Victoria (reception manager) is always happy to help. If someone tells you that Germans in this hotel are treated better than Russians, then this is complete nonsense. A shuttle rides to Hurghada, 2 times a day for 2 hours, costs $ 8 round trip.
7. The contingent of the hotel is 70-80% Germans and Austrians, the rest are Russians. There are many pensioners, many families with children, but there are also people aged 20-35. I would like to appeal to fellow citizens, explain to me why we make a round dance out of any dances. We came to an evening of live music, the Austrians dance wonderfully, rumba, cha-cha-cha and all that, then our fellow citizens came and stood in a circle, so there is no longer a place to dance normally, and come on, I can’t even call it a dance. Why can’t we dance in pairs, even if not ballroom dancing, why do we think only of ourselves (this applies not only to dancing), we will behave like this, they won’t let us into normal hotels.
8. Now about the wonderful - this is a water park. A good water park, completely free (not for all Makadi hotels), with a bunch of slides for children and adults, slides of different levels of scariness. The water in the pools is warm, which is very important in March. I am glad that safety measures are observed, restrictions on weight, age, you can’t ride the priest from adult slides, only on cheesecakes or rugs. You will always be prompted how to sit and fold correctly.
