Probably, the time has come to write your review on the rest at the Iberotel Makadi Saraya Resort, which is part of the Madinat Makadi hotel complex. The choice fell on the hotel from Makadi Bay not by chance. Two previous trips before this one were also in hotels in this area: Tia Heigts Makadi Bay in 2009, Sunrise Royal Makady Resort in 2011. And it so happened, fortunately, that each next hotel was better than the previous one.
So, in order.
Flight:
Vouchers were bought in advance for 13 nights from June 22 to July 5.2013, two standard rooms were booked for me, my husband and daughter with a friend. The airline "Kolavia" (Metrojet), since it was her flights from Domodedovo Airport. But it was the airline that failed in this case. Morally, according to the news from the media and, having monitored the scoreboard at Domodedovo Airport, they were ready for a delay in departure. We stocked up on food and water in a backpack. As a result, the flight was delayed by 6 hours. People from our flight were moving from one check-in counter to another.
The delay time on the scoreboard appeared each time 15-20 minutes before the planned start of registration. Shortly before the next transfer of the flight, I wanted coffee, and we went up to the second floor. And suddenly, unexpectedly, going down the escalator, we heard a quiet voice, where our flight number was barely audible, and a request to go to the information desk. Come up. This, as it turned out, was an announcement about the provision of hot meals. Meals were provided in the dining room of the airport hotel, to which minibuses were provided. But since we, of course, had not yet passed any registration, things had to be either thrown away or left for someone at the airport. For us - a company of 4 adults, this was unacceptable, and we had food and water in store. When the long-awaited check-in took place, everyone naturally moved to the airport lounge.
But ......there was no announcement not on the scoreboard, not on the speakerphone about the time of the flight. As a result, they flew away with an almost 6-hour delay after 23-00. And the paid day (well, or night) disappeared. Aircraft at that time were Airbus-320. To the staff itself, the quality of the flight and service on the plane - no complaints - everything was fine. The only thing in the Airbus on the way to Egypt was a very small distance between the seats, and the seats themselves were collapsed; on the way back, the departure was delayed by an hour, the plane was of the same brand, but there were already fewer rows, a newer interior, the distance between the rows was already decent, as was the condition of the seats. Flight both there and back - no complaints in terms of the flight itself. All claims are only against the airline, which picked up flights that it was not able to carry out due to a shortage of aircraft. And this concerned not only the direction of "Egypt".
Upon arrival at the hotel, a bottle of wine, a plate of fruit, and a la missed dinner in the form of buns, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese and sliced sausage were waiting for us in the room. But given all of the above - we only wanted to shower and sleep.
Hotel:
It is part of the Madinat Makadi group of hotels. Located on the second line, celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. Upon arrival, instead of standard rooms, we received two family rooms, where there were not only beds, but also an area with sofas, separated by blackout curtains. The rooms are all in good condition, air conditioning, refrigerator, hair dryer - everything worked. All rooms with balconies are of decent size, there is even a mini-dryer for clothes, which was important, since the duty rope with clothespins was left at home. What amazed us throughout the rest was our cleaner. His figurines on the bed each time brought even more positive impressions to our impressions, and the elephant generally struck on the spot.
In hotels, before that, figures were not twisted at all. There are two pools on the territory - the main one and in a quiet area, where we lived. There is a bar next to each pool. You could have lunch near the main pool if you didn't feel like going to the restaurant. Salad similar to Greek, burger, french fries, ice cream, juices, beer, tea, coffee - you can have a snack. The hotel grounds are clean and well maintained. Pools are chlorinated. There are always more people near the main one than near the pool in a quiet area. But sunbeds could always be found.
Beach and sea:
The road to the sea took about 10-15 minutes. There were no problems with sunbeds. Towels at all hotels of the Madinat Makadi group are blue, only bracelets are different. The entrances to the sea are marked with two signs. But if you look at the sea, to the left of the first plate there is another entrance, which is slightly better than the two indicated. They didn’t buy safety shoes, they went barefoot in the sea - their legs were intact.
But they understood the trend, the closer the hotel beach is to the pier, the better the entrance to the sea. And the Club Makadi hotel has the best sunset. Soft sand underfoot. Of all the three hotels visited, Tia Heights still has the best beach and entrance to the sea, then comes Sunrise and only then Madinat Makadi hotels. So throw in the towel and go for a swim from any other beach of hotels in this group, no one and nothing will interfere. In the beach bar you can not only drink juices, tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks, but you can also have a snack at lunch. They cook pizza there, and there is always something from the second courses.
Nutrition:
There are two restaurants on the territory of the hotel, the first one worked in the first week of our arrival, then the second restaurant was opened for breakfast and dinner. The food is good. Breakfast is traditional: omelettes, scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes (always delicious: both mashed potatoes and just boiled), pancakes, all kinds of jams, muesli, chocolate balls and so on.
All waiters offer to bring drinks. But we also had a favorite waiter. He was kinder and nicer than the others. In the morning on the tables are the programs of all the events of the day for review. All three meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner are served differently. In the evening, the waiters dress up in various costumes and always congratulate birthdays with songs accompanied by drums. For lunch in the restaurant, as well as for dinner, there are grilled dishes, sliced beef - boiled, stewed beef, fish, grilled seafood, vegetables are always well cooked, pasta is cooked with filling according to your desire. Watermelons, melons were in a day. Insanely delicious bread buns, I won’t even write about pastries and biscuits - it’s always delicious.
The lobby bar always brews delicious coffee and serves drinks of your choice, packaged juices. We did not drink juice from the vats. This is not necessary with packaged juices.
There is also a tea break in the lobby bar at certain hours. Tea with various goodies is offered. Ice cream at the pool bar, on the beach - without limitation. They always offer nuts or chips for beer. You can ask them without beer . In general, the food is good, high quality, and the service is also on top. Various cocktails are prepared very tasty: alcoholic, non-alcoholic, milk. The mini-bar in the room is paid - we did not need it. Bottled water can be taken without restriction in any of the bars, and bottles with ordinary water are also put in the room.
Entertainment:
The animation team of this hotel is the best in Madinat Makadi hotels. Sports activities from morning to evening, venues from the pool to the beach. Every evening awarding the winners of the day. On Tuesdays - the announcement of the winners of the hotel Olympic Games.
During our stay, for the third consecutive Tuesday, our hotel became the winner of these games, for which they were rewarded with a free trip to La Loca disco for free. On Tuesday evenings, hotel animation teams gathered people in the amphitheater to announce the results of the Olympic Games. There were always more people from our hotel. Every day, except Thursday, evening animation for children, then at 21-00 - for adults. It was always fun. Animation is held outdoors in the Shisha Bar area. The apple had nowhere to fall. All animators are great nerds. All young people are Egyptian animators, who speak well almost any language of the hotel guests, the animator girls are mostly from the countries of the former socialist camp. There is an opportunity to practice in English.
Territory:
Very beautiful and well-groomed. Attaching photo.
Outcome:
I really want to come back to this hotel. Very warm and soulful.
From the service, food, animation, territory, there were only positive memories. Thank you all for a great vacation.
So, in order.
