We have never been to this part of Egypt, we were in Hurghada itself a few years ago, and Sharm has already been studied to the utmost, which is why we stopped at Makadi and this hotel, it seemed to us the greenest in the pictures of vacationers and videos. We got to the hotel in the morning, in general, they settled quickly, no one asked for anything, there were just enough free places. We read about the old rooms, we got something in between, the furniture, of course, is far from new, but not dead, the bed was a little tight, but there were no bedsores. The cleaner we got was not a bad guy, the first day he really came to clean as soon as we came from the beach, but he understood everything himself. The beach is nearby, in general, not bad, the sun loungers are still normal and they have always been, the entrance to the sea is very convenient, the depth is gradually gaining and the corals are not far away, so there is something to see and admire under the water, unless of course you are satisfied with the water temperature, for example, I gently Let's just say I couldn't swim. Another big plus is the long beach line and the opportunity to walk along the beach of other hotels, it's very nice, you don't sit like in a box, I was very worried about it. The food in general is not bad, all our standard side dishes are there, we had enough meat dishes and chicken, excellent pastries in the morning, you can choose something from desserts in the evening, only beer was drunk from alcohol, like nothing. There is animation at the hotel, but somehow we didn’t really participate in it, we tried to go to bed earlier in order to come to the beach earlier, it gets dark early. We saw that for children there is a miniclub and a playground. Vacationers in their majority are Western Europeans, many Germans, but there are also ours, so there was someone to talk to. The staff at the hotel is not bad, everyone is neatly dressed, polite, no one asked us for a tip, but they improve the quality of service of course, a Russian-speaking girl works in the lobby, though we had no reason to contact, everything was clear and understandable. We learned about the change in the time of the return flight from a message on viber, it’s very convenient, so I advise you to buy a local SIM card at the airport, to the city where you can buy it a little cheaper to go far and only by taxi. So I can safely recommend the hotel to everyone, of course there are drawbacks, and sometimes there weren’t enough rooms and appliances, for example, in a restaurant, and the table may not be immediately removed, but the sea and the beach here are of course super, especially if you come here in the season when the sea is warm, but the truth and the price tag will be completely different.
