Rested in December. It was warm, but a few days windy. In general, the place of windmills. The hotel has a number of advantages - a cool water park, many pools, very cool coral, which is not inferior to Charm, but there are drawbacks. Such as the old killed repair, long pontoon, little normal entry into the water for children.

I told in detail about everything in the video on the youtube channel "In Travel" - https:// youtu. be / kcy-t79wAoQ
Come and see and you can choose or cancel this hotel.
In general, we liked it. The advantages are very cool, for those who can close their eyes are not small disadvantages. We would go on occasion.

We stayed at the end of October 2021. I am writing from recent experiences. The hotel is on a coral reef. At low tide, you can walk 200 meters knee-deep in water. To the left of the beach there is a small piece of shore with deep water. There all the rest and splashing. The hotel has a huge territory with a large number of 3-storey buildings, half of which are empty.

We stayed at the end of October 2021. I am writing from recent experiences. The hotel is on a coral reef. At low tide, you can walk 200 meters knee-deep in water. To the left of the beach there is a small piece of shore with deep water. There all the rest and splashing. The hotel has a huge territory with a large number of 3-storey buildings, half of which are empty. The territory looks abandoned, abundant bald spots of the lawn give the territory a dull look. The hotel's main restaurant looks like a huge canteen from the 90s. Rooms are spacious but with broken furniture. The room has a kettle and tea bags, but the cups for tea are sorry - limited to paper cups. By the way, in the main restaurant, tea and coffee are also served in paper cups. Which was very depressing.
Food: You won't die of hunger. There is food, but a very poor assortment, without frills. Powdered juices, instant coffee, powdered milk, powdered wine too.
Only beer was poured from bottles or cans. Bottled water was limited to 1 bottle per person per day. If you want more, pour from the cooler. It was very uncomfortable. Bottled water should be in unlimited quantities everywhere: in a restaurant, in a bar, on the beach. Wifi was only available in one area. In the evenings, with a large crowd of users, the Internet would freeze and could turn off. Some bought local SIM cards. Payment for all services at the hotel is cash only. Cards are not accepted.
Late check out is $20 per room. When renting a room, bracelets are cut off and they are not allowed into the restaurant. All this is of course the little things in life, but they spoil the impression of the hotel. Can't say my holiday was ruined. You can also have a good rest in a tent. But if the hotel positions itself as 4 *, then it must correspond to this level. The Royal Pharaohn hotel in terms of service and accommodation draws on a solid 3 *.

We rested in this MIRACLE hotel with my husband from 25.12. 19 to 26.12. 19, yes, we rested only one day, but which we remember for a long time!! ! ))) In the morning we ran away from this hotel with a guide without looking back, it was not a pity to pay extra $ 100 for the remaining 4 days just not to stay on this "desert island")) I'll start in order, the hotel was chosen through shanta.

And everything would be fine, but because of such a "huge" number of vacationers there was absolutely no choice of food, for breakfast, lunch and dinner it was all the same - scrambled eggs, onion soup, rolls, pilaf, sausages and olives, from fruits - sliced lime!! ! And everyone tried to get us drunk, but we didn’t feel like drinking at all, I wanted to understand how you can sell vouchers to an empty hotel!!!
Repair work was carried out on the territory, the water park did not work, not a single bar on the territory of the hotel also worked, it was stupid to hope that there would be at least some kind of animation and disco in the evening, but we sincerely believed in it))) Naturally, about any animation and there was no question, even music was not played anywhere throughout the day, the feeling was that you were in an abandoned hotel, where there had been no one for a long time and never had been !!!
After the plane, of course, I wanted to take a shower, but even here it was a disappointment - there was no hot water either in the morning, or in the afternoon, or in the evening, when I told the reception about it, they just smiled sweetly and said that the water should be drained for 5 minutes, then 10, then 15 ...as a result, further if she went down the whole day, the miracle would not have happened, she would not have become hot !!!
The hotel itself is located outside the city, the wind constantly blows there in December, the territory is open, I didn’t take off my jeans and jacket all day, but I planned to swim and sunbathe, because I was advised it precisely because there is little wind there))) Probably the only plus of this hotel is - this is a beautiful flat sandy beach, but what's the point if it's cold and there is no opportunity to swim and sunbathe))) At night we escaped with air conditioning, it was terribly cold, we slept in clothes, in the evening I just wanted to pack my suitcase and fly home!!!
Having survived the night, in the morning I began to pack my suitcase, I was clearly determined that we would not stay here for another minute!! ! We were supposed to meet the guide at 10.45 26.12, we waited for him and asked to be picked up from this hell!! ! He laughed and said that this is a bad hotel and that this is always the case here and tour operators know about it, but they don’t talk about it, they just make money on such tourists like us, in general, for the $ 100 that we gave to the guide, he took us to a hotel in Hurghada itself, to the Marlin Inn hotel.
And for a second it seemed that we were somewhere on the other side of the world, I immediately wanted to change clothes, it was very warm, there were people in the hotel, friendly staff, they received us very well and we spent the remaining 4 days wonderful, went on an excursion and enjoyed the sea! My advice is to buy tours only from trusted people with extensive experience, from people who are ready to answer for their words)).
By the way, the Golden Five Hotel is from the same opera of empty hotels, where good tours do not send tourists. agencies. Hope my review is helpful! ! )))

Good hotel, we liked it. Everything was fine. Food suited. The territory is good. This hotel can advise other tourists. It is fully in line with its price.

Why everyone decided that this hotel is a five, I don’t understand. We were offered it as a budget three plus, at first we wanted to go to Tia, but we didn’t have time for our dates, and we played it for this one. The hotel, of course, needs renovation, this is noticeable in the shabby territory, the rooms are mostly the same, from the pluses I will note a comfortable hard bed and a view from the window to the sea in the room that we got, no cleaning and not on time, so they cleaned us three times for the whole vacation .

Now by sea. The beach in general is not bad, there were always empty seats, sunbeds and mattresses are old, that's a fact. It is not realistic to swim from the shore, it is very shallow, especially when the tide is out. We went swimming from a long pier, the reef is not even bad, we saw a lot of interesting things, so a mask is a must. Of the large fish, we stumbled upon a stingray several times, there are many small multi-colored ones, often entire flocks came across at a depth, but to see this you need to sail further. The sea generally suited us. The food is mediocre. You won’t see any pickles here, potatoes and vegetables in general can be half-baked, some inedible sauces, I didn’t like the fish. They mostly ate rice with fresh vegetables and chicken, beef was rarely, if ever, once in some kind of gray gravy, couldn’t it have been cooked somehow tastier in appearance. There were days when I ate more for breakfast than for lunch, eggs and pastries in the morning will always be. But let's face it, we didn't go hungry, but what to feed the children here would be a question for me, of course. In general, I think that couples here are much more comfortable to relax than with children. No alcohol at all, take normal with you. We bought one SIM card for two at the airport, we had a connection always and everywhere, surprisingly very nimble, faster than our phones at home. The staff is very different, there are normal hardworking guys, they are mostly young people who just plow. And there are lazy people who like to discuss girls, but they also do it selectively. My husband is big, so no one even looked askance in my direction. It’s better not to go here for lonely girls, at least with a girlfriend, but it’s better with a guy, of course. Entertainment in the hotel is weak, and we didn’t go much, evenings were mostly spent on the Internet for work. So see for yourself what you need most from a vacation, there are enough cons, but it’s not terrible as some write.

They flew on a burning ticket, they already took what they had. The hotel pulls on a three, not a four, so we would not return to this hotel a second time. The number is ordinary, standard, as for a triple. We paid extra, they gave us a normal option. The territory is clean, the pool is cold, not heated.

The food could have been better. The hotel is close to the airport, 20 minutes drive max. You need to walk to the beach, the transfer was organized from the hotel, but we were not there often, as the wind was strong, in general, not the season.

After reading the reviews before departure, the mood of course diminished. But it turned out not to be so scary. Certainly not a five. We were in November, everything was fine, except for the food. Of course, they didn’t go hungry, but my friend, who rested in Egypt 6 times, said that the food was at the level of a 3-star hotel.

There were 30 of us for the entire huge hotel, a maximum of 40. For me, a chic vacation. Quiet, calm, free. All sunbeds are empty, there are no queues anywhere. No one yells and bawls songs - just super! The staff is friendly, we got good rooms, and there was a kettle and a refrigerator, a hair dryer in the room. Although a couple from Ukraine was resting in front of us, they complained about the number. But their building was far from ours. The main advantage of the hotel is the pier. it is not allowed from other hotels. What a great reef! I would like to go next November.

We stopped at this hotel, as it suited us for the price, we also liked the fact that there was a large water park on the territory, incl. children's. They settled us for 4 hours, there were a lot of people. The room was good, cleaned every day. Food for an amateur, little variety. The hotel area is very large, green, it took 40 minutes to drive to the city, there were no shops or cafes nearby.

At the Harmony Makadi Bay Hotel & Resort, only the territory is good, only due to it they did not get 1 point. Everything else leaves much to be desired. Starting from the furniture in the rooms, ending with the staff. The furniture is long overdue to be replaced, the staff. by the way, too. Very rude communication from the staff, like nothing else spoils the impression of the hotel.
