We want to start by saying that our experience overall was 5 stars (the hotel, the staff, the beach, the pool, the activities, the food) mainly due to Hanna - see why at the bottom of the review. We will come back to this hotel, but there are things you should be aware of if you are going to book this hotel. 1. The A/C is actually seasonal, if you go in the cooler months it won't work to cool your room, it will only act as a fan. Your room will be warmer than the evening air outside (18-23 degrees while we were there) if you're not willing to sleep with the balcony door open. 2. You have to be ready to be approached by sales people at least 4 times per day. Some will be persistent, some will be more lax. You may have to break some hearts with stern rejections. 3. The food is good for an all inclusive, but remember that you're booking an all inclusive and that you're going to experience another culture with different food. 4. The WiFi is not great. We loved that because we wanted to be cut off from the world. But if you're not able to put your phone down for a week, or you're looking to work from the hotel, then we'd suggest grabbing a SIM card from the airport. 5. Actually do get a SIM card at the airport and order an Uber to the hotel. They should cost around 300-400 Egyptian pounds which is £6. You can also order a car from the hotel (they charge 30 euro for a car) and you can haggle local airport taxis on arrival, they won't take much less than £15-20. 6. Bring Euros, British Pounds, or Dollars in cash. There is a market for foreign currency here and they prefer to do business in these currencies. Now the fun stuff... The hotel is gorgeous, set in a compound with 3 other sister hotels that you have access to (but other hotels don't have access to Makadi Spa, especially those with children). The rooms are beautiful and well maintained.

Makadi spa is super relaxed and does not feel crowded. There are no animation teams, shows, or activities (except for yoga). All areas have quiet music which makes the whole place very relaxing. We booked delightful dinners in all of the 7 restaurants, and we found none of them disappointing. Breakfast and lunch are available in several places as well, but the cove was our favorite. Being a guest at Makadi Spa gives you access to the other 5-star hotels next door with all their bars, activities, and 7 more all-inclusive a la carte restaurants, but the guests at those places cannot enter the premises at Makadi Spa. Mr. Hannah, the head butler, truly made our stay unforgettable. He took us on a tour to show us the special places and included extras for us, such as VIP Beach beds, free drinks at cash bars, and free coffee in the Vienna Cafe. He organized a special dinner on the beach for our big occasion and was readily available at all times and made reservations for us as well.

We liked everything.

Beautiful hotel in a very secure private area that contains a few other Makadi hotels which you can visit and use their facilities too. We booked the Junior Suite with the Sea View and absolutely loved it. The room was really nicely decorated, spacious, clean and comfortable. The view of the sea and the swimming pool was fantastic. The hotel offers a buffet style dinner or a selection of a la carte restaurants. We didn't get a chance to try the buffet, but the a la carte restaurants were really good. As vegetarians, we liked the Asian one the most. The area has a really nice long strip of the beach where you can stroll in the mornings. Also, we were really surprised how good the yoga classes were. Usually the hotels have a very basic class, but we really enjoyed the ones offered here. The air yoga is a must try, but the spaces are limited, so make sure to come early to get yours. We'd like to thank Mr. Hanna for all his help during our stay. We felt very welcomed and looked after. Definitely recommend the place to all our friends and family.

Please sort the Wi-Fi problem. All hotels should be able to offer free fast Wi-Fi nowadays.

The property is spectacular! The architecture, lighting, infinity pools everything. And Mr Hanna, the manager, went out of his way to make us feel welcome and relaxed. Despite being responsible for the entire property he gave us a lot of personal attention. It's super value for money, and there is a lot more than advertised on booking.com. There are 3 sister resorts, all of which are accessible and free of cost (drinks, food and facilities). The resort itself has 6 different restaurants all of which were included. We were spoilt for choice. There is also gelatarias, coffees shops, salons and multiple shops within the venue, so there is always a lot to explore and do. Best for last, the room was massive and exceptionally comfortable!

The drinks in the afternoon were not the best, the evening drink bars offered much more variety and better quality. The pool and jacuzzi weren't heated.

The room is beautiful, clean and spacious. The whole staff was really welcoming and helpful, especially Hanna. You can find whatever you wish in the hotel. The coral reefs are really nice in front of the hotel.

The internet is terrible. The provided Wi-Fi is not working at all and even the mobile service is off in the hotel. If you wish to use the Internet during your stay, this is not the best place but if you want to have a nice remote place it cannot be a barrier. Do not use the in-house taxi service. This is an external provider who is only ripping off tourists. Taxi trips are charged 10 times more expensive than a local taxi would cost. They do not have proper taxis, only shuttle buses which are continuously coming late. The quality of this service is not meeting the expectations of a 5 star hotel and on top of it is outrageously expensive.

It’s a score 10 for me The Hotel is so beautiful Makadi Spa is Like a small beautiful luxury Village - The Grounds is beautiful - The Coral Garden - The Pools are awesome, and Facing to the sea, planty loungers , lot of things to do - The food : Lunch Dinner so delicious , fresh ,good quality, ingredients all very tasty the desserts , Spanish milk cake , chocolate cakes, the Buffet dinner too , So much variety, Indian, Asian Food, salads, cakes all tasty The Spanish restaurants churros, Creme Brule, OMG and all free all piece and detail of the hotel is perfect, The Hotel is spotless clean The Vienna Caffe ; best expresso caffe in Hurghada - The hospitality ,: Very friendly everyone, especially Hanna Thank u i defiemerly return back

Makadi Spa exceeded our expectations! We left a near by resort very unhappy and the staff here went above and beyond to make our stay exceptionally wonderful, and they didn’t even know about our negative experience with the previous resort. The main butler Hana met with us when we arrived and helped us pick our restaurants for our stay, the staff at each restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel happy and at home. The customer service at this resort was 10/10. We moved from a near by resort as it did not meet our expectations for a relaxing adult vacation. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family! It was truly an adult oasis, and we are so happy we decided to visit this resort. We picked it based on the online booking website reviews and our experience was even better than we imagined! Hana checked in on us, and constantly wishing us well during our day, and made sure we had anything we could possibly need! Even our favourite wine for our room! On our last night, the staff planned and prepared a special dinner for my dinner birthday. The chef came out to greet us, they prepared a wonder 6 course meal, and it will be a birthday I will never forget! Thank you again for making this an amazing vacation!

What we didn’t like? That we couldn’t stay longer! Everything about our stay was 10/10, our room was beautiful, clean, and our view was gorgeous! The staff greeted us each day with a smile, and always offered extra water or towels when needed. The bed was so comfortable! I loved our huge bathroom, the shower and everything about this room!

My recent stay at The Makadi Spa Hotel - Couples Only 18 Years Plus, was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire experience. I must extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Hanna, whose exclusive executive assistance truly elevated my stay to a whole new level. Mr. Hanna's diligent attention to detail in organizing my stay plans, spa treatments, and arranging exclusive access to amenities made me feel like royalty. Every request was met with a smile and a genuine eagerness to ensure my utmost comfort and satisfaction. His expertise in curating experiences, such as the romantic dinner on the beach, left me speechless and created memories that will last a lifetime. Moreover, I cannot overlook the exceptional dedication of service provided by Mr. Amgad and Mr. Ahmed. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond to cater to my needs were truly commendable. Also, the staff, whether it was ensuring my room was impeccably maintained or providing recommendations for activities, their presence added immense value to my stay. The Makadi Spa Hotel is a haven for couples seeking a tranquil and romantic escape. The serene ambiance, luxurious accommodations, and top-notch amenities exceeded my expectations. I left feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and immensely grateful for the unforgettable experience. In conclusion, I highly recommend The Makadi Spa Hotel to any couple looking to indulge in a romantic getaway. With Mr. Hanna's exclusive executive assistance and the exceptional service provided by Mr. Amgad and Mr. Ahmed, you're guaranteed a memorable stay that surpasses all expectations.

We loved everything about the hotel. Especially the Tranquility that made us feel very relaxed. The grounds were stunning. The swimming pools were huge, and there was a large selection of sunbeds, cabanas and sofas around the pool and beach to spend a relaxing days on. The room was beautiful and huge with an amazing pool and Seaview. There was such a large selection of restaurants and bars offering a wonderful choice and variety of food. We ate à la cart every night which we loved. We especially loved. Going to the Cove for breakfast and our things go out to Mohamed Ismail and his staff especially Mahmoud kalifa who made us amazing cappuccinos and Ruasha who made the most amazing thin crispy crepes Special, thanks, go out to Mr Hanna who made us feel like the VIPs. The staff are working, consistently hard to make sure everything is perfect, we loved the little touches like the sunglass man cleaning our glasses to having a complimentary cucumber face mask put on me whilst sunbathing on the beach. The coral reef and variety of sea life in front of the hotel meant you didn’t need to go anywhere else. It was absolutely stunning. You definitely need water shoes however to walk out. I use the Spa five times for massage, and although not every part was open, it is a stunning Spa and will be amazing. I had Shaima do amazing Massages for me and the hot stones were the best. As a Booking.com customer, it gave us access to extras, which included the use of the cabanas and butler service on the beach. We were also given complementary late checkout, and it was lovely that Mr Hanna came with drinks for our journey and to say goodbye.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Makadi SPA celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We are very grateful for the upgrade of the suite room to make this more special for us. The all inclusive facilities and food at the onsite restaurants was very good value for the money. Hanna was excellent in making our stay relaxing and comfortable throughout. The SPA facilities and massages was exceptionally. The cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel is kept to good standards. The room is cleaned daily by Yousef and would always surprise us with the towels designs (ie Swan, Cobra, Monkey, Cat and Elephant). All the staff in hotel are excellent and give good service. We will definitely come back to this hotel in future and will recommend to our friends and family.

Nothing to dislike as they met my expectations.
