Choosing between Egypt and Turkey, after long and painful reflections, they gave preference to the Red Sea. We decided to stay in Madinat Makadi, as we were afraid to be in Sharm during this period, like in a sauna. -34-38, due to the rather cool wind, the heat was not felt, it was even cold to get out of the sea. I liked Madinat too: a small oasis in the desert, though not such a riot of greenery as in Sharm. you can walk, also everyone's beach (except bars and sunbeds) can be used.
The tour operator "Turtess" (special thanks to the guide of the hotel Amru - big hello to him! ), the airline "MAU" - as always were on top.
The hotel does not impress at all from the first minutes. Even those who have nothing to compare with, in principle. Poor furniture at the reception desk kills on the spot. For myself, I decided not to pay extra money for the room, buildings (except "Femel") somehow at first they don’t have either: dark, with brick domes instead of ceilings. Thank God, everything worked in the room, exhausted by the road, I decided that the morning was wiser in the evening, I won’t unpack the bag yet, let’s go have dinner , and we'll see. The restaurant (dining room) completely killed all my iridescent mood. I took a few slices of tomatoes and cucumbers, went around the canteen 3 times in search of food for myself and the child and finally felt sad. There was some kind of terrible-looking beef, two types rice, inedible stewed vegetables, pasta, to which the sauce was made from the ingredients of your choice. Desserts: 2-3 types of biscuit cakes with an incomprehensible layer, 2 types of cookies, green-black bananas, oranges, apples, figs.

After two days, I began to get used to it, got used to it, rested from the road and began to smile. what will be the wishes that do not suit us. Naturally, I expressed my "fe" about the food. We must give them their due, they react to criticism immediately. The improvement was noticed immediately at dinner. In the following days, there were never any complaints about the food The quality and quantity improved. Melons, watermelons, peaches, apricots appeared from fruits. There was very tasty ice cream in unlimited quantities. There were no packaged juices, I bought a child at a local store. not worth it).
The hotel is on the second line, but it was 4-5 minutes to go to the sea from our building, it was absolutely not annoying. There were always places on the beach, they came several times after 10 without any problems. The entrance to the sea is somewhat rocky, but there are paths cleared of stones. You can swim from the shore without running along the pontoon. The territory is large, there is a lot of greenery, 5 buildings, two large pools with children's sections, one with a mini-slide, two restaurants. On the beach bar where you can have a bite, masks and flippers are issued on bail , towels can be taken on the beach so as not to carry from the hotel. Ukraine is friendly, smiling, she worked well with the kids. One children's club for the Germans, our children are not allowed there. More than half of the Germans, quite a lot of Russians, other nationalities% 5-8. the receptionist needs an urgent update, the towels are chewy, washed, rewashed data, sun loungers, too, would not hurt to update.
Our company got so into the taste that we didn’t want to leave at all, the time flew by quickly and imperceptibly. To avoid disappointment, you need to make the right choice of hotel for yourself.
