I was in Sharm and Marsa Alam, in hotels with beautiful reefs, and I always thought that in Hurghada and nearby the reefs are worse. A friend suggested to go to Makadi, does it seem like a good reef?
Can you compare?

When comparing, it is necessary to clarify - for what time of the year? In Mars, the reefs are more "wild", the living creatures are larger, but the waves are also wild ... In Makadi (specifically the Red Sea group), the reefs are very good, but not super-duper ... Or we were not lucky ... But the underwater world is represented for all 99.9%, there are very different entrances to the water (pier, through the reef, along the sand - it all depends on the ability to rearrange the legs during the rest). There are legends about the reef of the Stella Hotel - but you need to have the courage to swim to it ...

The complex that includes The Grand Makadi is fairly new, so the reefs are fresh and lively. From the pontoon are more beautiful. If you go from the shore, in the area of the Sunwing hotel, there are a lot of picturesque reef "bushes".

thanks for the advice. it means that there really is a reef .. I swam from the pontoon all the time in Sharm - Mars, so it's not a problem, I don't need sand, but corals and fish! and Stella - do you mean Stella Di Mare Beach Resort & Spa Makadi 5 *? I read a review on it: “The weather was quite windy, it was especially felt when you walk along a long panton (400 meters) after swimming in the sea. The coral reef is dead in places, but there is something to admire. There are many different fish. I had a chance to see for all 5 previous visits to Egypt (Charm and Taba). Many times we saw stone fish, octopus, lionfish, moray eels, stingrays..." and further: Tip: if from the pier to the left, then swim along the right corals and look , then relatively far (and when the tide is high) - there will be an opportunity to swim over the corals into a completely open sea ... who is not afraid - do not miss this opportunity.
Did you mean access to the open sea?

We have similar sources of information. , convenient with separate drawers for shoes (a trifle - but there are no shoes under your feet), and under water there is also a good live reef, my husband even saw an octopus + a so-called fish set, the depth is excellent, the bottom can be seen, an anemone nest is 5 meters away + nemo - I would not refuse again ... Negative moment - for the first time we came across this - when entering through the reef opposite the shops - 5-10 meters SPECIFICALLY!!!!!! cold water (end of September !!!), we went to the depth - warm water is 25 degrees. Moreover, for several days in a row and at any time, and some kind of separate zone ... But the reef and the hotel are worthy and worth their money

If finances allow, then it’s better to take the Palace, it is somehow more solid, more comfortable, and much more closed from the wind. And there is a pino collada on everything in the bars .... And in the evenings (and now the days are short) there is more space for "sitting" - including every day!!! live singing in a bar on the borders of hotels - but the bracelets are checked!!! In any case, on one of my first visits, the bracelet was in a pile with other chicks. We walked around the Grand - then the Palace was "I approve, sir !!" And it’s not far from the pier - chessslovo !!!
