For which he received his $ 1.
After that, he went to dinner. The food at the hotel is very varied. There are: lamb, beef, chicken, duck, squid, shrimp mixes, several types of fish, grilled dishes, various sausages (did not try), cheeses, salads, snacks. Of the fruits were watermelon, melon, orange, banana, apples, dates, grapefruit. Lots of delicious desserts. For lunch and dinner, there are two types of first courses and they are not repeated. One for lunch and one for dinner. Delicious spaghetti. From alcohol in a can Stella beer, good red wine. The hotel has a main restaurant. Maximum 1-2 people in line. Service at a high level. Waiters serve drinks. There is also a beach bar. You can eat there for lunch. Burgers are prepared, various snacks, alcohol, delicious cakes are prepared, pieces of 8 varieties of ice cream, and a beautiful view of the sea.
In the evening, you can book a table and cook meat dishes on the grill. There is a menu from which you can order what you will. Waiters serve and serve.
There is also a beach club with live music in the evening. During the day and in the evening you can order alcohol.
The beach is absolutely gorgeous. Convenient access to the sea. Gorgeous coral reef. I saw a turtle, stingrays, many different beautiful fish and beautiful corals. I walked along the entire coast of Makadi and I liked the beach at Fort the most.
Internet is available in the lobby of the hotel and it is pretty fast. Watching YouTube videos is enough. For 12 days, I'm satisfied with my impressions.
I recommend to everyone!

Visited the hotel for the 3rd time, this time with a child. All liked it. The sea, as always, is beautiful, the service is good, the children's animators are excellent, the children are delighted with them. The contingent of vacationers has changed, in 2016 it was only us who spoke Russian, now there are 70 percent, so Russian-speaking staff also appeared. … More ▾ Visited the hotel for the 3rd time, this time with a child.

Insanely beautiful area! Clean rooms, high quality cleaning, towels changed every day! We arrived very early, so that we would be settled, at the reception they gave $ 10, and within 20 minutes we were in the room! The hotel staff practically does not know Russian. On the territory of the hotel there is a main restaurant near the reception, there is a beach bar (on the beach, where you can not only take drinks, but also eat burgers, french fries, salads, soup, cakes, 5 types of ice cream), from drinks red and white wine, sparkling water (soda) in glass bottles, coffee, tea, cola and beer in cans, water in plastic bottles. … More ▾ Insanely beautiful area!

Friendly staff. There is a pool bar where you can eat pizza and pasta.
The pool is heated and there is also a bar. The bartender is weird. To my desire to make me a cocktail with ozu and mango juice, he said that there is no such cocktail, you need to drink ozu separately, I tell him please make me such a cocktail, he made me, but in a paper cup (and this is a bar in the pool ( ! ), in water). All in all, an amazing bartender. In other bars, all the bartenders are very friendly. I was very pleased at the hotel that when leaving for an early excursion (at 4:30 to Luxor) and at an early departure from the hotel to the airport (at 4:45), we were given lunch boxes with us!
As for the beach, its line is long and wide, there are enough sunbeds for everyone that even guests from neighboring Sunrise came to our beach! The beach is perfect for children and people who are afraid of the depth. There are reefs, there are several of them, they are located in islands, the reefs are alive, colorful, beautiful. There are many different types of fish, both small and large. Of course, not to compare with the reefs in Sharm, but it's also beautiful here! Sunset is sandy, in specially designated places, we needed corrals. There are paid sunbeds, 7 € per day, the difference is that they will bring you a refrigerator and the waiter will come and offer drinks more often.
As for animation, during the period when we were (from 04/14/21 to 04/21/21) there was no evening animation, and during the day the guys were in the pool, doing water aerobics, volleyball... as for food, it corresponds to 4 *, There is a choice, but not much. For breakfast, scrambled eggs, eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce and other greens), several types of cheeses, ham, olives, eggplant, fruits (apples, guava, once there were strawberries, melon, dates , oranges), and, of course, sweets. Tea, coffee, juices. For lunch there were a couple of kinds of soups, french fries, spaghetti, pasta, chicken, fried fish fillet and fried fish carcass, vegetable stew, salads, cheese and ham, steamed vegetables, storm, for dinner there was a tuna carcass, cut steaks, beef steaks were. As for drinks, they must be ordered by the waiter and they will bring them.
In summing up, I want to say that the question would we return there again, the answer is yes. We really enjoyed. The only thing is that there is nowhere to go outside the hotel, except for a walk in the desert. We drove 30 minutes from the airport.

We rested in Makadi Bay and decided to spend one day at the Fort Arabesque 4 hotel, there are very few vacationers in the hotel, half of the hotel is closed, but what struck me is a very green area, many flowers, a variety of palm trees, I think Ford Arabesque is the greenest hotel in Makadi Bay, sandy beach with a good entry into the sea, corals are not needed, there are corals and fish. … More ▾ We rested in Makadi Bay and decided to spend one day at the Fort Arabesque 4 hotel, there are very few vacationers in the hotel, half of the hotel is closed, but what struck me is a very green area, many flowers, a variety of palm trees, I think Ford Arabesque is the greenest hotel in Makadi Bay, sandy beach with a good entry into the sea, corals are not needed, there are corals and fish.

We went on vacation to this hotel with families: with friends and children. All were accommodated very quickly in standard rooms. The territory of the hotel is very large and well-groomed. There are swimming pools for adults and children. Several bars and restaurants. Lawns, paths, palm trees. In the rooms, too, everything is at a decent level. … More ▾ We went on vacation to this hotel with families: with friends and children. All were accommodated very quickly in standard rooms.
The territory of the hotel is very large and well-groomed. There are swimming pools for adults and children. Several bars and restaurants. Lawns, paths, palm trees.
In the rooms, too, everything is at a decent level. There is air conditioning, TV and a chic terrace overlooking the pool and palm trees. The rooms were cleaned every day, changed towels, bed linen, twisted figures from towels.
There are several restaurants and bars on site. But we went to one main restaurant and visited an Italian once before leaving. The food is very varied: a large selection of cereals, soups, meat, side dishes, vegetables and fruits, various sweets, juices and drinks. Alcohol of local production, but there was also imported, but for an additional fee.
The beach at the hotel is very good: bright clean sand, sunbeds and umbrellas are always in abundance, beach towels are provided at the hotel and are changed every day for clean and dry ones. We often did not go to the beach, but swam in the pools.
Twice during the holiday we went on excursions. Once on Paradise Island, we rode on a snow-white yacht, dived with masks and flippers near the reefs, had a delicious lunch with a fish that we ourselves caught.
Animation in the hotel was also a lot. Evening shows are very high quality and bright. Disco! In addition, games, competitions, dance lessons, etc. were held by the pools during the day.
It's a pity that the holiday is over, we all really enjoyed it, I recommend this hotel!

Upon arrival, she began to monitor, and the hotel quickly went to the stop. Miraculously managed to take off the last offer for 12 nights at a good price. Correspondence with the hotel through established channels and the promise of a two-room suite. I didn’t believe until the last, because even on the hotel’s website there are no such rooms. Arrival, again ABC taxi 110 pounds (7 ye), at the hotel at 9 am. Breakfast, as expected, is not allowed) Only a snack is available at the beach bar from 10 am. But we immediately settled in our favorite West Wing on our favorite 4th floor with our favorite view of our favorite bay. Spacious comfortable family. . . a corridor, two separate rooms and a large balcony. The bathroom is small and there is no dressing room, but after the superior everything fades) There are only two such rooms in the entire hotel, so they do not shine anywhere.
The hotel was filled to capacity and it immediately affected the beach. The entire first line on the armor, however, thanks to the early swims, the only free place was ours. The beach was no longer cleaned from the word at all. Complained, sunbeds moved and that's enough. Cigarette butts, scraps, trampled landscape - a stable picture of a premium hotel. In the beach bar, sewage began to be poured directly into the beach sand... a cloaca-colored stream formed, the stench was unbearable. The territory was no longer diligently washed up... a wild contrast with January. Fortunately, the hotel building is clean and the restaurants are just as exemplary. But then again, the cleaning of the rooms is no good. She expressed her indignation to several Englishmen, counting on support... but they are all God's dew. And since the guests are satisfied, the staff does not tense up. The feeling that one half of the staff hid, and the other became embittered by the turbulent flow of the afflicted. Rest has ceased to be languid. The contingent was noticeably younger, noisy Italians came in large numbers, the hotel began to seethe and buzz. I won't say it made me happy. All the same, the feature of the hotel is silence, relaxation and comfort.
Food also suffered from overpopulation, with delicacies cut back sharply. If in January they constantly pampered, now they had to get rare lamb with tuna. Shrimps were only once and then on Valentine. We went to the only la carte 159. At 17.30 for a fee, at 19.30 the same menu for free. Saxophone, beautiful serving of dishes, but very crowded and nothing outstanding. But they were at the invitation of the manager's office in the restaurant for the guests of the villas... that's where the complete delight is. A very refined, even pretentious place, dishes like in the best houses, top notch service, French cuisine. A real luxury restaurant... the most vivid impression of the whole holiday. I was also pleased with the launch bar 159. We meditated there before dinner. Wonderful view, sterile comfortable chairs, excellent service, free drinks. We went to lunch almost towards the end, so that the people would decrease. Another bravo to the architects. . . the western restaurant is divided into seven autonomous zones, and even when full, the feeling of intimacy and comfort is preserved.
January puppy enthusiasm subsided, all the shoals climbed at once... I suddenly wanted to return to the neighboring native Sunrise. Constantly stayed there in the VIP zone and walked around the territory. Cleanliness and order hurt the eyes against the backdrop of the mess in the Fort. Sorry for the intimacy, but even Sunrise went to the beach toilet because it's a shame in the fort. The hotel urgently needs a strict owner, and preferably a Cerberus for each wing. Three weeks after a luxurious holiday, and the impression that the hotel was lobotomized. Maybe I'm too picky because the January euphoria has spoiled me, but it's not comme il faut to go down. You can’t cope with a full load, you need to educate and increase the staff, and not move the beds (c) If I decide to return to the Fort, I will first cope so as not to run into a full house again

For ten years I dreamed of getting into this hotel, I climbed all the way and across, but for a long time it was not sold on our market. Some Russians, outraged by this fact, made their way to the Fort through Germany. And now the dream came true, I won’t say who) As it should be for a dream, I took 11 days to dream it out. … More ▾ For ten years I dreamed of getting into this hotel, I climbed all the way and across, but for a long time it was not sold on our market. Some Russians, outraged by this fact, made their way to the Fort through Germany. And now the dream came true, I won’t say who) As it should be for a dream, I took 11 days to dream it out. Written off with the hotel, put on the reservation superior. At the hotel at 9 am. My room was not ready yet. Gave the keys to the standard to take a shower and change. The room is spacious, pleasant, the furniture is tired but solid... the bathroom is excellent. After the beach, I got into my superior and choked with delight. Huge, pretentious, with cool furniture, a dressing room and a large bathroom with a shower, a wonderful bathtub and a bidet. 4th top floor, view of all your favorite Makadi bay. . . the dream of all dreams. Lovely bed linen, the best I've found in Egi, fluffy towels and robes. Soapy-ryl are good... I even ventured to try a harmful head, the rating is excellent. We had fun with the keys with a huge wooden knob. Doors-windows left the old wooden... and so the panorama begs. But this is a feature of the hotel... in some places they retain retro little things for the spirit of antiquity.
The hotel was the first built in Makadi, the best place and a huge beach strip were chosen. The fort does not need to grow in depth, as the others do out of hopelessness. Protected from the wind by high buildings and landscape + the northern part of Makadi is the most windless in the region. This is rightfully a winter hotel and the sea is always calm here. The building is monumental, solid, surprisingly warm. The building looks like a fort and everything in it is stylized antique. And the ancient English elevator with an opening door is simply a marvelous miracle. The territory is luxurious, lush green, walking is a pleasure. Everything is played with excellent taste, and the evening lighting enchantingly emphasizes the color.
The contingent of euros is pensioners... there are practically no young people, only a few children. Although there is a kids club, football and volleyball court, boccia, archery. They even started soft animation, but it does not belong here. Everything is geared towards the elderly, their number is over the top, they travel in whole clans. Even tepma in bassiks at will from +32 to the bathroom. Of ours, I was a lonely accordion, several Belarusians and a couple of Russians by self-tour. English or German is required. There used to be an Italian reservation here, now I haven't heard a single Chao! Looks like they were afraid of peace and quiet. The atmosphere is relaxation, comfort and carelessness... just relax and think about what you want. The entire staff is imprisoned for an instant reaction and not a hint of baksheesh... entirely goldfish. Every evening live music in East and West bars. Lovely gatherings and dancers... truly a retirement paradise
The beach is a separate song... huge with sunbeds widely spaced. The entrance to the water is sandy, while there are various hummocks near the shore, the richest living creatures, even a turtle met. It is much more interesting and pleasant to snorkel than on the neighboring grand wall. There is a system for booking sunbeds, 40 euros per week for an umbrella place. . incl. a thermo box with drinks and fruits. But the 1st line for larks is not a problem for free, it calmly took its chosen place after early swims. In beach bars, refrigerators with a mass of cans of cola sprites, beer, juices, ice cream in packs... open and take as much as you want.
Food. . . haven't seen such frills for a very long time. Meter fish, saddles of lambs, baked lambs, turkeys, various sliced ​ ​ meats. Everything is delicious and properly prepared, with almost no salt. Chefs are not greedy, they give as much as you can take away. She leaned on fish, and purposefully ate tuna. They admired limes in bags... both beautifully and squeezing aesthetically. Non-standard and high-quality salads. Completely unrealistic desserts, cakes, brews... it's better not to sniff because it's fraught. Selected fruits. The hotel has 2 mains. In the West it is more comfortable, the assortment is smaller. East more, the choice is richer. These are exactly restaurants, not Egitian canteens. Here you can’t pile it in many tiers into several plates... lovers of biting are not here. Service, as in the best houses... in the evening they decorate tables, put candles, the serving crunches, the waiters are like guards (in a good way). By the end of the holiday, people arrived, but this did not affect the quality. In the evenings, a grill restaurant smokes on the beach (not mine). Also for meat lovers a la carte 159. Everywhere they wrote for a fee, it turned out to be fries.
And minor flaws. There is no free Wi-Fi....20 euros per week, and even then not everywhere. Simka is needed without options (in the port around the clock 2 stands vodafone and orange). The SPA center is huge and chic, but in a strange way there is no sauna, everything is paid. A team of taeks is working... we can not continue) The simulator is also paid, small, the shells are miserable. There is only one Russian channel on the box, it is strange that it exists. Beach towels and mattresses need to be changed. The west beach bar needs a makeover. The central lobby is completely with ancient furniture. Everywhere high-quality repairs and suddenly collapse (maybe a GM connoisseur of antiques). Such trifles do not spoil the overall picture of a high-level hotel, but still.
Lived in 2 hotels. Country Sunrise bordered on the Western building, where there was my room and a beach place. Comparing Sunrise Royal Makadi and Fort Arabesque is a utopia... fundamentally different concepts. Sunrise is democratic, youthful, noisy, sweeping. The fort is exclusive, monumental, calm, thoughtful. I constantly went to Sunrise for the VIP zone with friends. Sometimes I ran to a restaurant to eat delicious soups and eat the right rice... in Fort this was not enough. Sunrise has long been a home, but in the Fort while visiting (but kind). I would like to always enjoy the benefits of two hotels. But I'm afraid they won't forgive betrayals for a long time in Sunrise. Will I return to the Fort? Definitely! The first impression is a reaction to expectations, but I hope this cute hotel will please you for a very long time

The territory is well-groomed, there are few children, mostly elderly Germans and Italians rest. Therefore, the rest is calm, measured, without noise and excesses. The food is good, the drinks are also local. We liked everything. We'll be happy to go again

The year is 2008, actually. Keep in mind - there are almost no Russians and it is worth knowing a foreign language. Big room, good service. A varied diet - for two weeks nothing pall. One thing can be said about the beach - very good. Huge affectionate aquarium under the window of the room in fact. It was stupid to ride on a yacht - we didn’t see anything more interesting. … More ▾ The year is 2008, actually.

Live music only in the lobby bar was in January.
Italian music - and songs in English were performed only for the sake of the beautiful legs of an English-speaking girl.
The room was cleaned twice a day, the pools are heated - the waiters in the restaurant serve jogging. . .
Recommend.

We were already here a year ago, but somehow we didn’t think of it and we didn’t go further than for a watermelon to the neighboring Sunrise, all the more I thought the guards wouldn’t let us in.

I also read recommendations to negotiate for money at a diving center so that they could take Stella Makadi by boat to the reef. Maybe someone went too? In general, I would be grateful for any recommendations regarding snorkeling.
