We stayed at the hotel in December 2024. The hotel is not large, but compact and very green, there are two heated pools (adult and children's). The staff is very friendly, helpful, special thanks to Obama for the birthday greetings, it was not expected and very pleasant. The food is excellent and delicious, there are no queues. Delicious sweets are baked on the beach.The bars are all open, especially the rooftop bar. The animation is active, but not intrusive, they work conscientiously. The room is good, although it was economical, cleaning was done well and regularly. The sea is clean, the sunset is excellent, special shoes are not needed. I liked the hotel, I recommend it for a relaxing, family vacation. There was practically no wind in December. A bay without wind.
The overall impression is excellent!
The territory, the beach, the pool, restaurants and bars, everything is fine. We had a rest from 22.02 to 02.03.2025. Yes, there was a wind, but there is almost no wind on the beach, tanned to black) Yes, the sea is cold, well, it's not summer. The hotel is positioned as a five-star hotel, but don't expect European luxury from it. This is Egypt! Many reviews say that the rooms are tired and the food is monotonous... That's not so. The rooms are spacious and clean. There's so much food that you can't try everything, and it's delicious.
The entrance to the sea is gentle on the sand, the reef is nearby, but it does not interfere with swimming.
I recommend you to visit!!!!
The hotel is a good combination of price and quality. The rooms are not bad, the food is at a fairly high level. Last year we were in a nearby hotel, so there, despite the beautiful architecture, there was nothing to eat. The entrance to the sea is excellent, with sand and some coral. You can do without special shoes, but it is better not to neglect them, there is a good coral reef. I saw a rock fish, a moray eel, 2 types of rays. In the morning, I saw a large turtle near the shore on an old coral. The only thing is that it will be a bit boring for active young people in the evening at the hotel.
We had a family vacation at this beautiful hotel in October 2024.Before that, we were there without children.
I liked everything very much! The atmosphere is wonderful! Animators create a certain mood!
Since we were with children, we didn't need noisy parties.
And so there are discos, live music, shows for children!
The abundance of fish in the sea is wonderful!
As for the food: everything is delicious! There were two shrimps - they are from delicacies.The fish is very tasty, grilled meat, soups, gravies, French fries, of course pastries)) and so on... There is something to feed the kids! The youngest is 11 months old, so we still took baby porridge, purees.
A beautiful beach!
The attitude towards people is good. If you tip a dollar, it will be even better! They do their best for us, and a dollar a day is not a pity for them!
We will definitely go there again!
There are many hotels nearby, you can walk there! There is a pier nearby, there is a beach with white sand. You can take cool photos!
Wi-Fi is free throughout, it's just great!
Great hotel.
We had a rest from 03/18/25 to 03/25/25, out of 7 days, there was a strong wind and +20 for three days, but the advantage of this hotel was a windless beach, you could safely sunbathe (in the sun as +25) and swim, the water temperature was 23-24 degrees. Good access to the sea, but it's better to have slippers. It was also possible to have breakfast/lunch/dinner on the outdoor veranda, as it is protected from the wind. There is a heated swimming pool.
The hotel is small, the area is beautiful and clean.
The staff is friendly and fulfills all requests instantly. The room is renovated.
The food is varied. The food is delicious. The selection of fruits is small, it is not the season in March and it does not depend on the hotel.
There is a desert outside the territory of all Makadi Bay hotels, there is nowhere to walk, but there is a walking area 5-6 km along the beach through all hotels, open until 18-00. For 7 euros from the hotel you can go to the center of Hurghada, round trip from 16-00 to 19-00.
The hotel is focused on relaxing and relaxing. Silence after 23-00. Wi-Fi in the rooms and throughout the territory.
We are currently at the hotel, the last day before departure, we decided to write a review with the whole company while we are lying on the beach. The territory of the hotel is compact, well-maintained, very green, beautiful. The rooms are large, economy back view with a view of the green fence wall. We lived on the ground floor with access to the lawn. Perfect, quiet, we went through the balcony, it wasn't windy. The cleaning is average, the bed linen is good, the pillows are comfortable. The only cosmetics are shower gel and shampoo. Take conditioner and body lotion with you. There are no slippers or dressing gowns. At the entrance there were 2 packs of chips, water, juices, they report only water. One of the unusual things is that beach towels are changed during cleaning, and cleaning is done during your stay at sea. Or go with yesterday's ones or catch a janitor. The water slides almost never worked in our period. Of the three small ones, 2 were turned on a couple of times. In fact, there was no water park for us. A heated pool for toddlers and a small nook for adults. The rest of the pools are for beauty in winter, and it's very windy around them. And there is almost no wind on the beach. There are 5 bars, one of them on the roof, on the fourth floor, has been open since 17, but you can go up for photos/videos at any time, the view is beautiful. The alcohol is disgusting, only bottled beer is normal. It's better to ask for Fanta / sprite / cola to be poured from bottles, because it's terrible from a vending machine. The beach is small, but during our stay there were enough sun beds for everyone, in the evening the sand is combed, the garbage is removed. There are dead corrals at the entrance, there are pieces with a sand entrance. Special shoes are generally not needed. There is a reef, but it is quite modest. Most of them are dead. The water in the second half of January is quite comfortable. The weather was sunny on 25-27 gr. You can walk along the beaches of neighboring hotels and swim there. The food is good, there is a choice, everyone will find something for themselves. The main thing is that there are soups and broths. Even the beach bar has soups. Ice cream from the vending machine is questionable, but they give it all day. There is a good one for $2. Red fish for breakfast is great. The juices are powdered from the vending machine, the coffee is passable, the pizza on the beach is delicious. The lobby bar serves leys chips with salt. The staff is good, but the bartenders may not be polite and, of course, all the attention is paid to the Europeans. They bring alcohol to the table at dinner, they haven't approached us even once. Germans can also be served out of turn at the bar. There are not many Russians in the hotel. It's boring in the evening. Animation can be said not to be evening, but daytime in the form of darts, boccia, volleyball, yoga, and water aerobics. On the first day, the child left his flip-flops on the beach and, of course, they were not found. There was more than one such case. We also "lost" the music column. The hotel does not accept rubles, although a year ago we quietly paid at another hotel. There were 8 of us, each in turn collapsed for a day from an intestinal disorder. Although this is not the first time in Egypt, we know such nuances as cleaning water with bottled water and so on. Take medicines, although you can buy them at the pharmacy at the hotel. There is billiards and table football near the lobby. For adequate money, you can safely fly to the hotel. But we will hardly consider it a second time. There are wind-free hotels in Makadi in winter with their own bay and more interesting ones.
We had a rest in Prima from 21.02 to 28.02.
We had a great time.
The food is decent, the staff is polite, the rooms are good.
There are activities on the beach, the animators are unobtrusive.
Freshies are paid, for 3 euros.
The coffee in the lobby bar is very tasty.
In general , everything is fine , I recommend it .
Definitely a great hotel for your money
Nutrition at the level of
Daily cleaning service
For family holidays, there are many areas for children and animators who will not let you get bored.
Nice beach line
Lots of sun loungers and umbrellas, all free
In general, I definitely recommend it.
A wonderful hotel, excellent service, a gastronomic paradise. Good animation, spacious rooms. Cleaning sometimes wants the best, the hotel is wonderful. Good access to the sea, you can see stingrays, fish, corals.
We are resting at the hotel now.
The beach is nearby, there are fish, the entrance is excellent, there are a lot of sunbeds.
The staff is not intrusive, the food is delicious.
The territory is well maintained.
It's quiet in the evenings. Those who like to hang out are definitely not here, but they are great with children.
We rested from the heart!
CHECK-IN AT THE HOTEL Arrived by Aeroflot, the quality and service are at an altitude, although we flew for 6 hours. The Russian-speaking girl Hagar accepted the documents. They immediately put on bracelets and sent them to lunch while they were making out. We settled in the 9th building, 2nd floor, next to the beach. The room with a view of the wall of the neighboring hotel, although the voucher with a view of the pool, we decided not to change, since the restaurant with music would be nearby, but you can't hear it at night.
THE room is large, standard, as in the photos and videos of tourists. Mosquitoes and other living creatures have not been noticed. After sunset, it becomes noticeably cool, they put on warm sweatshirts and closed the balcony. The cleaning is mediocre, soap and soap supplies were added only on request, despite the empty vials and a dollar on the bed. There is no elementary shoe spoon, the reception said that they are not accepted in Egypt! Especially about beach towels! They are changed by the room cleaner when they are lying on the floor in the room, and cleaning can take up to 16 hours, so you catch him in the hallway and it's not a fact that there is a towel replacement!
The FOOD is excellent service in all bars and restaurants. Cocktail time is every evening in the reception area at 18 o'clock. We were sitting there in upholstered chairs waiting for dinner. The food is excellent, I have not heard any cases of poisoning. Every day there is a new dish of poultry, meat and fish. The beer is not bad, juices like jupi, bottled soda, wine and spirits were not liked. I really liked the tandoor tortillas that a small smiling woman cooks outside. One evening was dedicated to sushi. The coffee is not bad from the coffee machines. Fruits: pomegranate, melon, mango, grapes, apples, citrus fruits.
ANIMATION The guys are trying, but there are few people on the beach. I would especially like to mention the Czech Lucy, who speaks Russian, and the black Ruji. When they were on a weekend, the beach would freeze. Half of the animators changed during our vacation. Standard set: bocce, darts, yoga and fitness. The contingent is Germans, Czechs and Slovaks, Russians. A day later, a local bard sings live at the Azurro restaurant on the beach, and at 21 there is an entertainment program: acrobats, fire show, magic and more.
The SEA AND THE BEACH are sandy, but then you need to look at your feet. The water temperature is 24. It's great that you don't really feel the tide, you can always swim. If you walk along the floats to the stones on the right, then the fish themselves swim from the corals to look at you, the water is clean and you do not need a mask. There is no wind on the beach, although it is noticeable on the tops of the palm trees. I didn't like the proximity of the sunbeds, but because of the small number of people, it's not so noticeable.
I recommend the hotel for a relaxing family holiday.
It was in the first half of December. Nice hotel. Good service. Delicious food.The rooms are spacious. Helpful staff. A clean beach. Of the cons, there is only one Russian TNT channel and not very good animation. But in general, I recommend it, and I will be happy to come there again.
The hotel's territory is small, but the reef is quite beautiful. Round the clock "all inclusive". If you want to take a walk, you can walk through the territory of the neighboring hotels, where it is really very beautiful and there are many souvenir shops.
Nice hotel, sand, reef 100 meters away, excellent food, friendly staff. You can walk all over the bay, there is an embankment through all the hotels. Favorite place, we've been to 4 times already)
The leather place is very quiet in winter from February to March. Good service, food, animators and all the staff work well together, but the most important thing is the sea.
We arrived on January 9, 2025 , we didn't like the hotel , it was boring , Russians were treated badly , they were rude at the Azur bar on the beach , Animation was completely absent ((( show ))) There are 30 minutes of magic tricks in the auditorium , and a fat oriental dancer from Ukraine was shaking bacon . The food is not bad, we are not picky, we have been to Egypt 6 times and this hotel is the worst. Drinks in the restaurant are served only to foreigners! It's humiliating. And the worst part is that alcohol is the scariest in Egypt, just very, very poor quality.
It's a great place.
We had a rest in early March) The beach, food, service, everything for 5 points!
The rooms are dilapidated, but the territory is cool, beautiful, clean. I recommend
I liked everything. The beach is big, and there are a lot of tourists, but there are places. the food is delicious, there is a lot of variety of fish, meat, vegetables, drinks. It's a very cool hotel.
My first time in Egypt, I heard that there are old hotels in Egypt and the food is bad, but everything in this hotel is great. More precisely, the rooms are not the newest, but the food is generally very cool, better than in Turkey. Very good animation, pleasant beach, beautiful territory, there are small reefs with fish near the shore. They play volleyball 2 times a day. It takes 25 minutes from the airport. In general, I recommend the hotel
The territory is small, but very beautiful, green. Great beach. A gorgeous coral reef and many interesting colorful fish. There is a lot of food and delicious, for every taste. The rooms are ordinary, but everything you need is there. WiFi is available on site and in the room. There is a children's club, a swimming pool and three slides.
We were in the middle of January.The temperature was + 23+25 C. There is a cool breeze in the evenings. The weather was great during the day, we swam both in the warm pool and in the sea. The entrance to the sea is excellent, the sand is near the reef. The warm pool is not big, but there is. The food is good. They make accents on the cuisines of different peoples of the world on different days. Animation is normal, during the day at sea, aqua aerobics, yoga, darts, volleyball, etc. In the evenings, if you like to spend time more actively, it will be boring. The hotel itself is very quiet, after 23:00, quiet. Hurghada is 15-20 minutes away by taxi. The staff is good, friendly, many people know Russian. The hotel has a spa, hammam, I advise you to visit. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. The territory is large and green. There are Ala-cards, make an appointment in advance, or specify the working days. For a relaxing stay, the hotel is just right.
If you want to relax, eat delicious food and see what the fish of the Red Sea look like, you are here)))We have been here 4 times already and the whole family is always happy.
We are having a rest in this hotel now! The service is at the lowest level guys! The rooms are old! In a word, the hotel is tired!!! It 's being forced on the agency , supposedly a windless bay , it 's all lies !!!! The wind is like everywhere else ! Choose a cheaper hotel and don't even think about coming here!
We have been vacationing since October 7, 2024, a pleasant hotel, good access to the sea, no tides, a beautiful reef, pleasant staff. There were no slippers and toothbrushes in the room, you can ask at the reception. The food is varied, the meat is good. I liked the a la carte restaurant azuro, which serves seafood.

A nice Prima Life Makadi hotel with a beautiful beach in a windless bay. It's a 30-minute drive from the airport. There was a wind on the territory of the hotel in late November - early December, and on the beach it was completely calm and without waves. The entrance to the sea is excellent, slippers are not required, there are corals, different fish, a turtle, the water is clear. The reefs are not large, like the islets along the coast at shallow depths. You can walk along the long coastline. There is a diving center on the beach. The deck chairs are clean, new, there was enough for everyone, but the umbrellas-canopies on the beach are stationary and do not add up (sometimes you had to look for a place in the sun). In general, the whole hotel and the beach are very clean.
The hotel is customer-oriented, pleasant value for money (the reservation was independent, without a tour). We checked into the room a couple of hours earlier and upgraded the room category without additional charges. The staff is friendly throughout the hotel, everyone is trying, there are a lot of animators. The territory of the hotel is small, elongated towards the beach and the sea, 3-storey buildings.
The room was large and well renovated, cleaning was regular and decent for Egypt, everything worked in the room (hair dryer, air conditioning, refrigerator, safe), even there were scales)) there are no bathrobe, slippers, dental kit, but there was shower gel, shampoo and body lotion - the quality is acceptable. Drinking water 1.5 liters / person daily, you can ask for more.
Snow-white towels and bed linen, new, soft, pleasant to use. The beach towels are also in good condition, in the room. The water is hot around the clock with excellent pressure.
The hotel rooms have a balcony, there are drying facilities, a table and two chairs.
One heated swimming pool and a special area for children. The hotel has several restaurants, bars, gym, massage, hammam, shops, pharmacy.
The food in the main restaurant is delicious, the range of dishes varies, but without frills. Mango once a week, daily melon, oranges, apples, grapefruit. There was a mix of seafood, shrimp, fish, meat, kebab on the grill. There was also a diet menu (chicken fillet, fish, boiled vegetables). There are many different pastries and desserts. There is a late breakfast (after 10:00) and a late dinner (before 01:00), which is convenient for those returning from excursions, you will not stay without food before going to bed.
There are many adult Europeans among the vacationers. Animation on the beach, aqua aerobics, dancing, yoga, stretching, games (volleyball, darts, bocce), various shows in the evening (prize draws, karaoke, fire shows, aerial acrobatics, cocktail parties, oriental dancing), live music. By 22:30 - 23:00, the animation program is curtailed, but the reception bar is open around the clock.
The Internet throughout the hotel is excellent for free, including on the beach, WhatsApp calls worked.
In general, the rest at the hotel was calm and good, you can safely return again.
I had a rest in early November. The sea is clean, there is a good big reef, there are a lot of fish. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff is friendly, the reception speaks Russian well, a young man named Amr speaks well, special respect. The food is delicious, varied, some write that they are dissatisfied with the variety of food. We liked it. There are a lot of fruits melon, pomegranate, dates, citrus fruits always for lunch and breakfast, sometimes mango. Beef, mutton, chicken all the time. King prawns, tuna, and squid were served for dinner. Lots of baking. As a result, I liked it!
We had a rest in July 2023. Two adults and a child.
I liked the hotel. Modestly without frills. The food is varied and delicious. The sea is transparent turquoise in color with its small coral reef and underwater inhabitants. The beach with clean sand is ideal for children. The territory is well maintained and quite green.
A family-friendly hotel. There are many entertainment areas for children. Satisfying. The territory is not very large, but there are two excellent promenades nearby.
I've been here several times. A good hotel, the staff is polite, there are English speakers, all rooms are clean, the sea is nearby. Everything is great, I advise you!
We had a family vacation at the hotel for the New Year holidays. I will note that this is the first time in Egypt - I liked everything. The location of the hotel, in my opinion, is very good: its beach is a small bay that closes from the wind and strong waves, normal entry into the water (corals are not underfoot, but at a depth, further), sand. In a nearby hotel, people entered the sea along narrow paths left for entry between the reefs. A variety of marine life around the coral reef.
The territory of the hotel is green: the outer wall is covered with climbing plants from the inside, palm trees, flowering trees and shrubs, the walls of the building are also buried in greenery and flowering vines in places. There are many places to relax. These are mini bars and all sorts of benches, sun beds. The pools looked cool in winter, but only children swam there (in a small heated one with slides), the sea was more interesting to me)
The animation is great! The guys tried very hard both in organizing vacationers on the beach and in creating a festive mood. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and cheerful. They like to exchange a few words and joke with vacationers.
In my opinion, the food was excellent. We had vegetables and fruits as favorites, as well as local cuisine. There were days of national cuisine (unusually cooked vegetables, very healthy celery molochei soup), delicious desserts.
The hotel has a spa, gym, kids club, scuba equipment rental station, camel on the beach, pharmacy, cafe-library and disco.
A wonderful hotel, food, rooms, animation, everything is at a good level, the beach, the entrance to the sea is excellent. Of the disadvantages, there is a desert behind the fence, but there is a promenade along the sea. I will be happy to return to this hotel.
A great hotel, not new, but I liked that there are few people, no queues and almost always free sun beds
The cleaning is good
The staff is friendly, answered all questions and requests and helped
The food is good, coffee machines
Animation is everywhere on the beach and by the pool, children's club
We are currently staying at the hotel. We arrived yesterday afternoon. I'm so tired of this lottery with hotels in Egypt. You choose 5 *, good reviews, every other time you come to the hole, which ones to look for!! The hotel does not even match 4*. Upon check-in, I drew the guy's attention to the reception that my husband's birthday is today. What do you think he did?? Nothing!! I didn't even congratulate you with a word! They asked us to give us a second card from the room (there are three of us) - they said there were no cards! The rooms are old, the furniture is old, the rooms on the ground floor are cold and damp, the air conditioning system does not work for heating. This is very important in March! The child was covered with towels to keep warm. The room has a tiled floor, but there are no slippers. I'm not even talking about dressing gowns. God, I don't even know what to do. I want to go home from the first day!! Alcohol is a chemical that causes heartburn from one sip. It's okay, you don't have to drink. Food sadness - hard meat like rubber, vegetables overcooked in oil, soup -water with raw vegetables! The barbecue area where the meat is burned smokes directly at the guests in the dining room! Everyone is sitting in a thick fog of soot. The promised pool heating is missing, the pool is icy! I believe that instead of buying Key cards, barbecue hoods, pool heating and air conditioning repairs, the money went to the guy who writes good reviews about this hotel, it's much more profitable, and it works! When will there be a normal stardom in Egypt???!!!Not Dear hoteliers of Egypt, when evaluating a hotel, be more honest!! It's a 3-*!!
The large pool is not heated in winter, the rooms are heated, the air conditioning worked every other time. The territory is not beautiful, any neighboring hotel in the bay is much more comfortable at the same prices. Food for 3, tea and coffee for 1
Greetings. I stayed at this hotel in November of this year. Maybe I'm overeager, of course, because I've been flying to Cyprus and Montenegro for the past five years, but that's not the point... As for me, only the rooms are good. The territory of the hotel is very small, WI-FI is only at the reception (how so???), the food in the restaurant is absolutely mediocre, there were only various dinners. Nutrition: ugly dairy products (especially cheese), the same sausages, meat for four, vile, soft, white fish (a la pangasius) every day, sweets - ordinary, lousy alcohol (no beer, wine - as in the early 2000s it was in cardboard boxes) I didn't even dare to take a strong one, pizza at the beach bar for three. DON'T EXPECT ANY GOURMET DISHES. Shrimps don't count. A huge number of vacationers, sunbeds on the beach should be occupied before breakfast, after they stay in the heat, and some vacationers occupy them, and just leave for three or four hours... The restaurant has the same situation, I was a little late for dinner, the tables are almost all occupied. There are also tables outside, near the restaurant, but there are a huge number of birds (you can't leave the plate, they fly in from all sides), sound repellents do not help. When I was vacationing in Pattaya, the restaurant staff (nice Thai girls with towels), seeing that you wanted to take a place in a restaurant on the street, followed you and drove away the annoying birds while the vacationers left the plates and went to take other dishes. At the hotel, the staff had some kind of obsession with saving electricity, they never turned on the lights brightly, there was always some kind of semi-darkness (both in the restaurant and at the reception). The room also has very dim lights, it was difficult to read the book. There was live music in the evenings, the girl tried to sing, but it sounded so-so. It is not realistic to lie down (take a nap, read) on the beach, terribly persistent staff on the beach (guides, traders and massage therapists) offering their services. I tried to take a nap on a sunbed in the shade a couple of times, passing by they purposely touch you or say something loudly so that the vacationer would pay attention to them. They don't recognize refusals the first time, they squat down next to you, and start sniffing their booklets with excursions, massages and other bullshit. So day in and day out (rested for 10 nights). There are always queues at the beach bar, you need to stand for at least 3-4 minutes to get a drink. Before this year's trip, I was in Egypt for the last time in 2013 (I won't fly anymore), so that's what I want to tell you: "As the service was 9-10 years ago, it remains so." And, by the way, the room was cleaned pretty well (but after I left 10 dollars to the "cleaner"), even in ten days the bed linen was changed twice.))) At a meeting with the guide, no useful information was received from him, I sold excursions for about an hour, offered to buy from him local SIM cards, and accepted payment in dollars, euros, and rubles (just a circus). As for me, it's better not to skimp, pay extra and fly to Sri Lanka or Thailand. Or to Turkey to ultra-inclusive hotels.
An average hotel, with average service and not very fresh rooms. I took it only because of the proximity to my favorite dive center "I Dave", located in the neighboring Arabesque hotel. The price tag has become simply cosmic for Egi(((
A good hotel, the rooms are clean, cozy, spacious. The food is good, varied. The animation is light, not intrusive, there is a nightclub. The beach is big, there is a reef. The entrance to the sea is different, the sand goes to the left, there is a crust to the right, it is not convenient to enter.
