Steigenberger Makadi

Buckle in because this is long review! This was our first time in Egypt in Sept 2025, and would whole heartedly return in a heartbeat. Makadi bay is absolutely beautiful, it was around 30-40 mins from the airport. There’s security going in and the little resort felt extremely safe. Steigenberger Makadi was 100% our favourite all inclusive we have been to. Every single member of staff was extremely friendly and professional, nothing was too much trouble. The food was even better than some UK restaurant quality, made me realise how unseasoned our food really is. Amazing selection every night. We even had a meal by the pool with a violinist one night which included a 4 course pre order meal. One trip to an al a carte restaurant within the resort, the staff take you down and pick you up. We chose a Thai restaurant which was incredible and again, staff were extremely welcoming and hospitable. The beach was lovely, as previous reviewers it’s not the softest of beaches but the little corals make up for it. Steigenberger own a portion of the beach and with it been an adults only hotel the beach was child free in our section. Had some visits from the camels which was great to see. All drinks and a meal at the beach bar was included with our all inclusive. The cocktails staff made were lovely, a wide selection with friendly staff making them. I must admit the wine wasn’t great (boyfriend informs me the beer wasn’t great either) but this wasn’t un-drinkable and the cocktails more than made up for it. We took a day trip to Eden beach which I would 100% recommend. We booked through our TUI rep and it was so well organised and felt very safe. It was like a little island paradise and snorkelling in the corals in the Red Sea is something we will never forget. The hotel was immaculately maintained, the staff are always hard at work keeping the standard so high. The golf course which was STUNNING is meticulously maintained and had several groundmen working on it daily. Boyfriend informs me it’s a hard course so probably not great for beginners but stunning all the same. I must add a special mention to Ahmad from the housekeeping staff who was genuinely one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met. It was always a pleasure to see him on an evening. Also Adanob from breakfast who always served us coffee on a morning with the biggest smile and always cheerful. The general manager Moustafa came out to see us before we left to personally say bye which was a lovely little touch and a true reflection on how lovely the staff are there. We swapped rooms from a poolside to a double with a sea view which was drop dead gorgeous. We woke up early to see the sun rise a couple of days which would also recommend, it was like no sunrise I’d seen before. I probably wouldn’t venture out of the complex, it did have everything you need in there, shops, ATMs pharmacy’s etc. (beware it is quite expensive, I paid around £14 for some very budget feminine products!!). I didn’t

I went there on my honey moon the experience was beyond amazing , the staff was super professional and friendly The offered us many things as gifts and complimentary stuff The executive sweet , food , beach and pool were all amazing The sweet had a jacuzzi and private pool and all the experience exceeded my expectations The sweet was very clean and room service was great also The bar also was excellent and drinks were awesome And i would like to thank personally Mr Ayman ElMassry and Mr Ramy Radwan They were very friendly and professional we felt at home

We stayed here for 2 weeks at beginning of September, it's our second visit here, the first in 2019, we loved it the first time and returning didn't disappoint, it was lovely to see some familiar faces and we were surprised they had even remembered us. The hotel is lovely, small, clean and relaxing, the staff and overall service is second to none, food varied and fabulous, as described it has low-key evening entertainment, but with quality perfect for that relaxed getaway, we'll definitely be returning. Stayed in room 6207.

Lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean, good size rooms with very big beds. The staff are fully attentive and very helpful. Special service from Reda in the main restaurant and Milo and Hussan by the pool. Huge variety of food and different choices every night The golf course was well maintained and a great game of golf according to the hubby. If you have missed the little shuttle bus to the beach the reception staff will drive you down on a golf cart and you can phone for pick up. The beach was awful. Stony rocky. Crammed with beds very noisy and not very clean. 45 mins from the airport. Side note to all you Germans and Russians tip the staff your arrogance is astounding.

Where to start.. The wow factor at this hotel is incredible. The staff are the most friendliest, helpful and happiest I’ve ever come across in any resort, the room was spacious, comfortable and cleaned to a really high standard daily. The food was another level, something for everyone and always cooked fresh, the bar staff at both the cocktail bar and pool bar were lovely, the reception staff were really helpful. We went for my 40th birthday and the staff here made me feel like a million dollars, certainly a birthday to remember. Thank you for a truly unforgettable week and we can’t wait to return back.
