Makadi Bay
Makadi Bay is a relatively new resort on the Red Sea Riviera, not far from Hurghada.
It is quickly gaining popularity with holidaymakers thanks to its relaxing beaches, spas and Egyptian culture.
With a beautiful Red Sea location and year round sunbathing weather, it’s really not difficult to see why Makadi Bay holidays are proving a hit with British tourists.
The palm fringed Makadi Bay beaches are full of golden sands all the way up to the clear, warm Red Sea waters.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious – there was a wide variety of dishes and everything was fresh and very tasty. The beach was beautiful, clean, and perfect for relaxing. The entertainment and animations were fantastic and well organized – both kids and adults could find something fun to enjoy. The hotel’s design and decor were stunning – elegant, modern, and very stylish. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back again! 🌴☀️

I stayed at the hotel with my parents at mid of May. It is a nice hotel with amazing well- maintained green and colorfull gardens.
Stuff was always polite and helpfull.
If you do not like cold sea water then it seems May is not the correct season. It was very cold for us.
Big part of the sea enterance is full of rocks and corals which is nice for snorkeling however not fun for swimming. They located safe sandy corridors to reach to the wider sandy areas in the sea.
Life guards are always watching and warning people when they get close to the corals when the sea does not have enough debth.
We could not enjoy the sea that much.
Overall, we had a good stay.
Thanks to all hotel stuff.

A truly wonderful resort in an excellent location and a perfect beach setup. The entire property is well maintained, spacious, and full of greenery with varied architecture, making it suitable for all types of guests. Visitors are generally considerate, and everything is clean and in good condition.
The family rooms are well situated and fine. Whenever an issue arises, the staff responds immediately. The hotel is managed by an experienced Turkish team, and you can feel the professionalism in the way everything is organized. The service can be a bit inconsistent at times, but the staff genuinely tries their best and is always friendly.
The food is varied, and there is something for everyone. It’s not gourmet level, but it’s absolutely acceptable — after all, they aim to satisfy a wide range of tastes, especially the German preference for milder seasoning.
We would happily return and can definitely recommend this resort. The only downside is that the activity staff at the beach can be a bit too pushy with their offers. Other than that, everything is top-notch.

I just had a wonderful holiday at fort arabesque! The place was so beautifully done and maintained, with the gardens, pools, bars and restaurants... Everything perfect!
The staff is so attentive, kind, and funny! Always in a good vibe, from the reception desk, to the animation team, restaurants, bars, house keeping, and everyone we met there.
The only thing that we were disappointed was the taxi from the hotel that we hired to bring us to the airport. During the trip, the driver used his phone while driving, to translate, and pressure us to tip him at the airport, saying things like "usually they tip me 15eur but it depends on your integrity" and other similar stuff. We found that very rude, like a scam.
We also loved the dinners at the beach bar, with the delicious barbecue, and the Greek restaurant. They both had great food and drinks, and great service!
Snorkelling at the house reef is just amazing! Just out of the beach you have access to an incredible diversity of fishes and colourful corals! Especial greetings to the lifeguards who were always nice to talk to, and gave us advices on how to stay safe.
Smoking is very common there, but I think that the outdoor restaurants should have non-smoking areas.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Fort Arabesque🤍 Everything was just perfect. The entire staff is incredibly kind and professional from the very helpful reception team to the great luggage service, everyone made us feel so welcome.
A special thank you to the waiters, who were not only super friendly but also very funny and made every meal a joy. The food was absolutely delicious😍
Also, a big shout-out to the animation team for the great entertainment and the amazing fitness classes. You guys kept us in a great mood! Thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this hotel😍🤍

Holiday was perfect. Been to Egypt over 20 times and never met an English animator. So nice to have one with us. Toilets are clean and tidy. Mohammed with the round glasses was absolutely brilliant. Cleaner Saaid was amazing. Fahmy was great service in evening also. The Italian food was beautiful.
Aidan Standish
A great stay overall. Rooms are dated but perfectly adequate.
Bar service could be slow at times but the staff are friendly and can’t do enough to help. Food is good and varied and the speciality restaurants offered a nice change from the main buffet.
The beachfront location is fantastic, and makes a great staring point for many great excursions.
Special shout out to Eslam and Honey who made a good stay great!

Exceptional facilities and accessibility to the beach and surrounding areas, multiple pools and bars - staff friendly and positive. Restaurant has a lot of options and changes variety day by day. Entertainment staff are particularly outstanding, they never fail to make you feel comfortable and ensure you have an amazing time - special mention to Eslam and Honey :)

Very great hotel to enjoy. Lovely animation team, which makes our mood always better. The staff is always helpful and kind. Hotel area is amazing and our rooms are very comfy. We have no complaints! For sure we will be back!
keith macnaughton
Four days into our stay at Jaz Makadi Saraya. This place is wonderful. All relatively flat, maximum of 3 floors to all the buildings. Sunflower restaurant has lots of choice but can get very busy at peak times. Staff all very good and attentive.
We spent most of our time at the Ganzabil Pool which is the quieter of the pools. We were very well looked after with mattresses by saleh and especially well looked after by Fam. I've no idea how he remembers everybody's orders around the pool.
Room we were in was quite big. Mattress was very firm, as were the pillows. An iron and an ironing board would be a handy addition to the room to save requesting one.
All in all, a great place.
Had to add to the end how good Mohammed was that cleaned our room, replaced our pool towels and made fabulous displays with our bedding that made us smile on return to our rooms each day. He is a credit to the hotel.
Mohamed Ahmed
One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The staff were professional, welcoming, and always ready to help. The rooms were excellent, the food was amazing, and the service was truly five-star. A fantastic experience that deserves the highest rating. I will definitely return in the future.
Darren Taylor
The animation team were great. They made my holiday. I did every event imaginable except water polo. That is to hard at my age. The hotel was excellent, great garden areas, with trees and plants I have not seen before. I have met so many people that come year after year and sometimes to the same room over and over. Food is nice and there is so much variety.
The reef off the beach has so much coral and fish, I was so impressed.
I cannot commend the staff at the hotel so much for the way they have made our holiday.

This was our 2nd occasion to stay at this resort. The service was excellent, very welcoming and hospital. BIG shout out to all the staff, who were always helpful and friendly. Especially BIG thanks to Usma and Shareef for their excellent service.
They are a credit to your organisation.
I would also mention the small business that are operating in your resort. I would say they're also very professional and caring people who are running their small business but treat all clients with respect.
Being a Muslim i especially found it very helpful and pleasant that I could use your facilities to read my prayers at your two mosques within the resort.
This was a big boost to my break staying at your resort. Big Thank to everyone.
If I may to all Muslim who are looking to book holiday with family and have the facilities to practice their deen at the same time. I'd highly recommend this resort.
sam thomas
Very good hotel. Food was excellent with a wide variety of foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack bar. The bars had nice cocktails, non alc drinks and the rooms had free tea and coffee and water. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. There is yoga, darts all kinds of activities and the beach is beautiful. We even saw a blue spotted stingray & tropical fish. I'd definitely come back here.

A special thanks to the animation team—they were energetic, friendly, and truly made the stay more enjoyable. Their activities were fun, engaging, and suitable for all ages. They created a great atmosphere and made guests feel included. I would definitely love to come back again. was impossible to get bored.

The animation team did an amazing job leading the activities with enthusiasm and positive energy. They encouraged everyone to participate without pressure and created a lively, friendly atmosphere. Thanks to them, the activities became one of the best parts of the stay.

Our stay at stella beach makadi was amazing and i repeat stella beach makadi not stella gardens makadi because it is another hotel with completely different standard and very poor quality. we were 3 families and stayed in ground double rooms upper floors dont have elevators. The resort is beautiful with very nice landscape and well mantained. The rooms are nicely designed and comfortable, AC is very good while in hot weather, yet the room is a little bit small if with kids but still ok. The food was great and varied specially dinner and you could watch the entertaniment show while having dinner in the restaurant terrace. The snacks at the beach restaurant are very nice also. The beach is rocky there is a small swimable area halfway on the bridge that crosses the corals. The staff are doing there job and no delays, but they need to be more welcoming but i didnt face any problems. The aquapark is a very nice addition and it has elevators. Overall it was a very nice hotel and recommended, special thanks to Mr Hany reception manager.
Mohammed Raafat Thapit
Very bad service team and food Unfortunately, my stay at Stella Makadi was very disappointing. The food quality was below average with very limited variety, and most meals felt repetitive throughout the stay. The staff were generally unhelpful and, in some situations, came across as aggressive and unfriendly when simple assistance was requested.
The rooms were not up to the standard expected from a resort of this category. Cleanliness and maintenance need significant improvement, and the room felt outdated. One of the biggest issues was the temperature inside the room. Despite the air conditioning running continuously, the room remained uncomfortably hot, especially during the night, making it difficult to sleep.
Service was slow, communication was poor, and overall there was very little attention to guest satisfaction. The facilities looked worn out and lacked proper maintenance. For the price paid, the experience was far below expectations.
I would not recommend this hotel and would not consider returning in the future. There are many better options in the area that offer much better value and customer service. very descusting
Nektarios Liakas
We decided spontaneously to travel in January instead of April, and the value for money was excellent. The resort is very large, beautifully designed, and well maintained. The rooms are cozy, well located, and very clean.
The food is by far the biggest highlight. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner offer a huge variety, and the quality is outstanding, clearly above typical all-inclusive standards.
The staff and animation team are very polite, attentive, and service-oriented. Everything is cleaned up quickly, and service is generally very good.
The main downside for us was the aggressive tipping and sales approach. Staff and vendors frequently try to sell services inside the resort, even when you just want to relax. Saying “no” once is often not enough, which can disturb the feeling of relaxation.
There is a large pool selection with a pleasant noise level and an overall calm crowd. The beach itself is very shallow and not ideal for swimming, but the long pier offers excellent snorkeling with many fish.
January weather is perfect for relaxing but not ideal for swimming. We would definitely return, but probably in April next time.

The activities available here are fantastic and impressively well organized. There’s always something enjoyable to take part in, whether you’re in the mood for something adventurous, relaxing, or creative. The food is absolutely outstanding — every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell that the kitchen team puts a lot of care and passion into every meal. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, and very cozy, providing everything you need for a perfect stay. The staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, always ready to assist with genuine warmth and a smile. The overall atmosphere is so welcoming and pleasant that it instantly makes you feel at ease. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a truly memorable experience.

Spent ten days in stella gardens hotel.The hotel is behind Stella beach resort and spa. This is where you get access to the beach. There is a shuttle bus between the two hotels but the walk is nice takes about 5-10 minutes. There is a snack baron the beach where you can get both food and drinks. The beach also has a very long jetty to take you out to deeper water for snorkeling. Stella gardens is a big hotel but feels spacious the way its laid out with manicured gardens and pools. One is heated in cooler months with a couple of pool bars. The whole staff are amazing. But Khaled down at the pool bar went above and beyond. Extremely polite and attentive. Real nice chatty guy. Nothing was too much trouble. A return visit to meet Khalid who actually gets the British sence of humour would be pleasure. Other staff to look out for are Bishoy in main restaurant another super friendly guy where noting is too much trouble. He looked after us for the entirety of our stay. Ragab the restaurant's manager was a great guy always around checking if we needed anything and everything was ok. He also looks after the specialty restaurant's Chinese, Italian, Indian and Lebanese the food in all these was amazing. Chinese was our favorite. The main restaurant's food was also to a very high standard. There is a brand new waterpark opened up which is also part of the same complex.Overall I would highly recommend this place. We went with easyjet holidays and it was excellent value for money

Beach Holidays
The beaches are the main draw of Makadi Bay. The tranquillity of the golden sands and clear Red Sea water is enough to bring even the most hyperactive person to a complete stop, just to enjoy the amazing atmosphere. The palm fringed Makadi Bay beaches are a lot quieter than the ones in neighbouring Hurghada, making Makadi Bay holidays the obvious choice for beach lovers.
Water Sports
With amazing beaches inevitably comes amazing water sports and Makadi Bay holidays are no different. The waters of the Red Sea make Makadi Bay perfect for a range of activities, from scuba diving to kite surfing. The crystal-clear conditions make it easy to see the amazing sea life up close, whilst the warm temperatures mean that even the most novice surfer won’t mind how much time they spend in the water after falling off.
Spa Holidays
The Makadi Serena Spa is located in Makadi Bay and specialises in traditional Indian methods of relaxation. You can indulge in scrubs, wraps, massages, facials, pedicure, manicure, herbal bath, sauna, and hammam. When you couple a day at the spa with a week on the beaches, Makadi Bay holidays truly are some of the most relaxing available.
Golf
Golfers love Makadi Bay holidays as they mean that they get the opportunity to visit Madinat Makadi Golf Resort, an 18-hole championship golf course designed to meet USGA standards by John Sanford of Sanford Golf Design. This is a professional level course that allows golfers to test their game on the real deal. Madinat Makadi Golf Resort and The Makadi Serena Spa are located in the same resort, meaning there is something for the entire family in one place.
Souk Makadi
Even though Makadi Bay is located right near Hurghada, guests do not need to actually visit the resort to find retail and dining hotspots during their Makadi Bay holidays. Souk Makadi is located in the middle of the resort and comes equipped with both independent and chain shops, a bazaar and some incredible restaurants for those who wish to venture outside of the all-inclusive meals at the Makadi Bay hotels.
