Stayed at Stella Makadi Beach resort. Every member of staff no matter wha their role is within the complex are an absolute delight, nothing has ever been to much trouble, all very friendly and made are stay pleasurable.
The hotel could do with an upgrade in the rooms, (hairdryer’s weren’t man enough for my mane and ended up blowing up 2 maintenance replaced within 3 hours 😀🤦♀️) but I’m sure this will be done in time as Makadi is developing. Landscapers doing an amazing job the grounds are lovely.
Food hasn’t been the best but we didn’t go hungry! Our guide Mael for the Luxor trip was brilliant, very informative and joined in with general conversation during the long road trip. Definitely recommend the Valley of the kings excursion with Mael if possible.
All in all the holiday was pleasant, even better with brief moments of no gale force winds 💨 .
Swimming pools very cold but we did visit in February, the swim up bar pool is heated which was pleasant.
We would stay again but we never stay in the same hotel twice as like to experience different hotels etc.

We needed a week of complete relaxing time and that's what we found in that hotel. No rush, no dramas, quiet (in some areas of your choice). Lot of pools including kind of quiet one with bar and relaxing atmosphere but tbh you can find your favourite spot all around the four pools (one for babies). Great long beach with lot of space, sunbeds and parasols. There are two beach bars and lunch restaurant. Long pier will take you to the fantastic reef when you can snorkeling for hours.
Food was good, no problems to find something tasty, a lot of varieties, daily theme menu for dinner.
Room was great, spacious with good quality, comfy beds. Minibar, aircon, tv with lot of international channels. Always clean and tidy.
If you need anything else there is still little shop next to the restaurant or nice market just outside the main entrance.
There is diving center on site offers scuba and snorkeling boat trips.
The only con is that they offer drinks in tiny plastic cups so go to the shop and buy ( bring with you) bigger thermal mug.

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.

Keeley was the most smiling, positive, and empathetic animator I have ever met. She created an amazing atmosphere every single day, always full of energy and genuinely caring about the guests. Her approach made everyone feel welcome and included. Thanks to her, the hotel activities were not only fun but truly memorable.
The hotel itself also deserves praise - great service, clean facilities, and a friendly staff that makes your stay comfortable from start to finish.
Highly recommended.
