We stayed with friends in this hotel at the end of October. I am an experienced traveler, and I used to take the choice of a hotel seriously, weighing all the nuances. Initially, we planned to relax in Sharm, but, unfortunately, the hotel we booked did not survive the quarantine, so we urgently had to look for a replacement. Based on numerous reviews and advice from our travel agent, our choice fell on Stella Di Mare Beach Resort & Spa Makadi.
I have been in different hotels, both in triples and in luxury fives, so I clearly know how a good vacation should look like. So, in order:
1) The check-in went very quickly, the room was on the ground floor, spacious and clean, the room has a bed with an orthopedic mattress, 2 armchairs, a refrigerator, a dressing table, a safe, a flat-screen TV, a lot of channels, incl. 6 Russian. There is an electric kettle and a tea set, replenished constantly, put 2 bottles of water 0.5 daily. In the bathroom, toiletries are also replenished regularly, the hairdryer works.

2) Cleaning at the highest level, and towels are changed daily. Our cleaner Abdalla made different figures out of towels, he is very polite and attentive
boy. In general, the hotel staff is very pleasant and friendly, always ready to help in any situation.
3) Food - beyond praise! A varied menu: several types of fish daily, meat, pizza, daily grill menu for dinner, fruit - everything is always fresh and tasty. Baking is heaven for the sweet tooth! I have never seen such a variety of sweets in any hotel. A huge plus for the restaurant staff for their attention and quality service
4) Beach. It is large and clean and is cleaned twice a day. The wooden pontoon to the sea is quite long, more than 300 m. For the first 2 days it was annoying, then we got used to it, because there is something to overcome such a distance for - this is a large horseshoe-shaped living reef. He's very handsome! A variety of fish, stingrays, lionfish, a huge 2-meter moray eel and eagle rays sailed, in the morning you can see turtles. Not every hotel can boast of its own reef, and even alive. The sea is deep enough, 5 meters near the pontoon. There is a descent to shallow water for children, but there is a very uncomfortable staircase, the child cannot go down and up it without help. I would like to draw the attention of the hotel management to this problem and somehow solve it
5) The territory of the hotel is large, a lot of greenery, clean and well-groomed. The staff works hard and it shows. Lawns and bushes trimmed, lots of flowers. The hotel also has its own shopping street, the sellers all speak Russian. Since the hotel is far from Hurghada, the necessary goods and souvenirs can be bought on the spot. The main thing is to bargain)

6) Animation. This is something! I have never met such active animators in any hotel. The girls had enough attention for all the guests of the hotel: water aerobics, morning exercises, yoga, activities for children - everyone could find something to their liking. And evening shows are generally aerobatics! Everything is on top, beautiful and creative! Olya, Vika, Nuri, Abu, Ani - you are super! Thank you for the communication and positive emotions, we really miss your morning dance at 10.00)
Thank you Stella Di Mare Beach Resort & Spa Makadi for a wonderful stay at such a difficult time. We'll definitely be back!
