The hotel is already all ageing. However, you can get from a harmonious overall impression, as regards construction, architecture, condition, palmenhaine, maintained gardening plants etc. Speak.
You walked with pleasure by the Areal and felt the fluidum an oasis in the middle of the desert hinterland.
The majority of the guests it is from the german-speaking area. read more

Were the 2. time in the Grand Makadi. The food in the restaurants (except italian ) is very good, the staff very friendly and helpful.
The beach is very beautiful. The new jetty is very convenient. You can from there direct for snorkelling the charming house reef.
The drinks at the bar may in nicer glasses and with more love to be made. There are cocktails in normal handle without decoration. That is for example in the Makadi Palace already differently,
Otherwise we like it very good Grand Makadi and we will be back. read more

Were in march there, air conditioning set on winter, therefore only fan possible, our rooms with east-and south during the day very strong heated and at night much too warm to sleep. Only after 4 complaints we were told, that the climate not at all on and i received a new room with other location.
Sports facilities, such as Tennis and fitness only for a fee possible, which actually even with a 4 star hotel including.
Local drinks and the cocktails are a bit hard to get used to. read more

An absolute plus of the hotel is the lying off coral reef, where you can even in january about 25 °c water temperature like in an aquarium feel.
If you want to stay in a 5-star -all inclusive-hotel a 5-star all inclusive-service expected is in the wrong place: the food is at best mediocre, the coffee consists of water with taste of coffee, the juice from water with alternatively oranges- or ananasgeschmack. But for everything there is a solution: decent coffee, freshly squeezed juice and decent meal gives it against setback extra charge of about 4.50 for juice or ... coffee and the food in the theme restaurants depending upon gusto for 10-20 Euro extra. Egyptian tischwein is included - however has the staff to new year's eve a special sales strategy for the wine à la carte to be astronomical prices excogitated: the egyptian table wine transformed dramatically on new year's eve in essigessenz (and the next evening miraculously back) and discreet broad hint, then nevertheless into the bag to reach.
The staff were also always endeavors, the guests unnecessary complaints from uv -shone to avoid-already in the morning for breakfast was only a part of the available tables on the terrace set and if these were occupied, you could not on the uncovered tables planting (here the coffee only at a charge, see above)-there was a instruction in miltärischem tone, that one was in the closed breakfast room to go have.
The use of the facilities in the adjoining hotels (but completely unclear, whether you are now in the Grand Makadi, Makadi Palace, Makadi Spa or Makadi xyz is) you can-against the announcement - with a small band at the arm and 10 €cash purchase.
Also the bathtub in the room made for light alienate: the once white surface was with a reddish-brown unabwaschbaren layer covered, where even domestos to its limits would.
In short: if enough so that done is, not to hunger and the day at the beach and while snorkeling to pass-great. If it is an alien, in a massive closed resort your vacation to spend and over regular loud discussions other guests with the staff wonder-, because they just because something once again ripped off-then the lesson in the urban indoor pool to überlegbaren alternative.
We are glad, it tried and to know, what we in future do no more. read more

How do i begin.
We were already 4 times in this hotel it was once great, was every year bad.
However this year everything was good.
Room 2 times changed, na ja cleanliness also with a lot of effort with schlechtenoder with no detergents nothing in walking distance. From the bathroom with the right filthy tub i want to do not talk.
Food a nightmare if you 14 days almost always the same food in the restaurants gets.
Also which one against a high extra charge 12-15- € on the plate has an isolence.
Even 3.5 stars hotels are ... espresso and capocino included
Also there were only 3 kinds of fruit at the jams always while searching for variety
Mostly nil return. Everything was what food bread dessert offered more like a 3.5 star hotel do it justice.
Some in the restaurant on the cakes and brottheken the birds sat what anyone
Interested in. One had to even the tables vertreibe.
Pool: should for 4 years heated none on 3 january 13 it was believe it or not 18 degrees
Beach: neglected the loungers defect in the cushions i don't even think so dirty and disgusting and totally were broken this.
Even if itself the staff always endeavors it were too many shortcomings. The friendliness had only an idea tip what we have.
The employees can't for the bad management.
We are for 12 years always 2-3 times every year in Egypt but i think to this hotel never again.
We have stayed in star hotel you were better than this.
All together not a recommendable hotel read more

The hotel is a bit outdated, what you at brökelnden plaster in the room (but without a problem) and in some courses can see. But from the staff absolutely made up for it. Although the hotel only half full (it felt) was, were all restaurants open. The breakfast and the lunch you could in spite of the season easy access to the terraces enjoy, evenings but much cooler. The food was as usual delicious. On the pool area one has the agony of the choice between those in the Grand Makadi and those of the Makadi Palace next door. Altogether ... it 7 piece, some of them huge. In two hotels are the pools in wonderful large garden areas embedded, in which a new guest also times can. The differing temperatures were between 17 °c and 26 °c, so was something for everyone. The red sea had 24 °c, which also the air temperature was. The chairs at the beach are a little rickety, functioning but still and in big numbers are available. A small, but fine fitness studio (costs extra) rounded for us the offer from. Along the beach to the south is widening the red sea chain still. There is a new african bar, the was empty, but potential for the future. In march we are again over there. read more

Us as mature couple has this hotel very good, we were to 2 time there and, if it is, a 3 time in flight. We had a room on the upper floors, best view of the park. Sun on of the terrace enough, if wanted, but also shadows.
The room was large, since above, also good to ventilate. An airco is not everyone's thing.
The offer to the meals was plentiful, for the europeans may to bland, but salt stood on the table. If black bread or pork, is in the wrong place.
The age of the guests was very ... different. There were mostly germans and english there. read more

We had a great great relaxing weekend. The atmosphere of this facilitities are unique, the garden inviting, the staff are totally nice and helpful and always up for a joke. The sea (24 degrees) with lying off reef invites for snorkelling a-many colorful fish sighted. You will also at the beach with drinks worn out. The food is varied and tasted really good, we enjoyed it particularly the caribbean restaurant (no extra charge) pleased. Excursions plentifully offered. We chose Cairo with the pyramids (bus ride about 6 hours) and quad biking in the desert with a camel ride. Both was ... impressive. For sporty is amongst others also Zumba offered in the neighboring hotel.
We can definitely recommend the hotel! read more

Admittedly it is an old hotel but nevertheless it can be seen. What this hotel still could work is the accessibility for disabled persons. However the efforts are visible. The staff's hospitality leaves nothing to be desired. The food in Grand Makadi is excellent. There is something for every taste. Whoever complained here knows apparent only stars restaurant in Germany \u263a! Beach towels included bag be from the hotel and also every day exchanged. The exchange of the beach towels is in the room and the annoying line up and left over from cash deposit not applicable. We found totally ... super. Chairs on the beach and also by the pool there were enough. The reserve of the chairs is not allowed. Also a huge plus point from me. The beverages in the lobby bar are subject to a charge, belong so not to all inclusive it didn't bother us, the surrounding and in seconds reachable enough other bars are available. Water you can for the tagesbedarf at the pool bar get (whenever you want). This is also always fresh chilled. I have nothing negative tell about this hotel. Quite on the contrary. The next vacation leads us directly again there. read more

Grand Makadi hotel, a week -all inclusive at the end of january until early february 2013.
The hotel is recommendable, you should however note, that it is an older hotel it is.
The joints in the bathroom not new anymore looks, or a tear or small corner in a tile are, should not disturb. It didn't bother us, because it was clean and daily the towels were changed. Beach towels included bag are also in the room ready.
There are exclusively men there, what to do, the women mostly far away life, and child and apartment have to worry about. ... The most employees, come from Cairo and environment, since it is in the neighbouring Hurghada hardly apartments gives, since too few jobs are available.
The hotel is wonderful laid out, the whole day strive gardener, pool boys around the optics /cleanliness the entire area!
Many waiter strive constantly, the guests enough to get a drink.
Food & beverage:
The food is in buffet form offered, for the evening you can also reserve i, in the various restaurants. But in the 'lagoon' you can also the dinner at the buffet select itself. In the other restaurants: the best entry (lunch). Then one is à la carte served! (al also inclusive, it is only around the existing places)
There is also food, where you have to pay extra!
Meals without 'Euro' behind, are in all inclusive.
The food is varied, delicious, usually very mild seasoned, which i found good, because you could always spice afterwards still!
The ' italian ' ('Leonardo', just left behind of the lobby) you can just pizza & co
The ' indonesen' (' tarbouch', left behind the Leonardo) you can also vegetarian guests.
The 'lagoon' down direction /at the beach, you have buffet with changing treats, where outside on the grill freshly prepared is!
'after eight' (is right by of the lobby aus) after the lunch, its coffee/tea.
On the whole hotel area are as well 'snacks' to get, the Doner (chicken meat, simple but delicious) or a hamburger, both usually with fries and salad.
Pork does not exist!
Meatballs are a mixture of beef and lamb!
Drinks there are plentiful!
However you should know, that the alcoholic drinks (everywhere) the cheapest from the cheap are, it was possible a ' red dea special' to drink, extremely sweet and the alcohol tasted like spritt. Cheapest rotgut.
The beer was okay, not so hochprozentig as our (partly). Comparable mit: cologne, mild pils.
But you can against an extra charge, real/original Gin, rum, whisky & co order.
Caution:
1:
No only water from the tap drink, and not your teeth!
There are plenty of bottled water to go (free)
2:
Never without beach/water shoes to the beach and into the water, large risk of injury by rock mussels corals.
In short:
A lot of effort and love put in this hotel, and everyone is hard-working, the hotel was very good!
Value for money were very good! (1 week al -2 persons included join & transfer: 490 €per person)
They exaggerate it is not indicated tip (baksheesh), the power the prices broken!
Nevertheless are for good achievements, this recognition very welcome/appropriate!
We felt comfortable, in good hands and in the best way served!
Although there were also german/english spoken is, is the communication with the employees not always very simple, but it is fun, also a bit of their language (egyptian/arabic) to learn.
One can take off money at the machines keep themselves fully informed on current events change (no commissions)
We would come back to this hotel! read more
