Serenity Makadi Beach

The hotel grounds are very lovingly landscaped – lots of greenery with beautiful flowers and plants Pool The rooms are clean but a bit dated The food and service at the snack bar were poor. We had to wait a very long time for drinks, or the food was undercooked or lukewarm.

My favourite spot for breakfast and dinner was the beach restaurant – everything there is just spot on. A varied selection, excellent flavours and the service – especially from Mahmoud – was very attentive.

Entertainment – I’m thinking in particular of Joli and Mailey. Both do an excellent job to a very high standard. Aqua Zumba, body workouts, Pilates – great guidance through the exercises, and if you made a mistake, you were charmingly corrected. They’re both outstanding dancers too, and their moves and charisma really capture that Egyptian flair. It could hardly have been better – they’re by far among the best entertainment staff I’ve ever experienced in Egypt. I’ve stayed in various hotels 30 times, but I’ve found these two to be by far the best so far.

We had a wonderful family vacation and really enjoyed our stay. The new family room was very comfortable and well designed and with excellent privacy especially appreciated when traveling as a family. The food was beyond excellent the variety and quality were impressive throughout our vacation. The pools and beach areas were always clean and well maintained. Although the resort was very busy with many guests the staff were always helpful and made sure my family could find a good place to relax.The beach is not sandy but the coral reef is wonderful and makes snorkeling a fantastic experience. The aqua park was very well organized and we were impressed by the high level of safety and supervision. Overall we had a very comfortable and enjoyable family vacation. Great food, excellent facilities, beautiful snorkeling, and helpful staff made it a memorable stay.
