Steigenberger Makadi

Our first adults only holiday and not let down. Went in May and will be returning in January and March 2025. Our room was spacious and a view over the golf course. The room was kept spotless by our housekeeper. Breakfast had so many choices and we sat outside every morning. Abdullah made sure our coffee cups were always full. Lunch was down by the pool and plenty to choose from, they will modify any dish to suit your requirements. Evening meals was buffet style but also has a la carte choices and always something cooking outside on the bbq. Mahmood who ran the restaurants ensured the service was top notch. The pool area was clean and plenty of sunbeds and shade if needed. The two pool boys made sure everything was kept clean and tidy, they also offered to clean your sunglasses every morning if they were dirty. This was a great time to have a talk with them. Whalid who brought the drinks to you around the the pool worked exceptionally hard, always with a smile and plenty of humour. Adel in the main bar looked after us well. Sameh who worked in the restaurants and bar would send me back to sit down so that our drinks could be brought to us. We cannot wait to return in January to see all the staff again and have a relaxing holiday. Ian and Nicky

Well what can I say ....an absolutely fantastic holiday again to the Steigenberger Makadi. This hotel is by far the best we have been to in Hurghada....it's that good we have booked again for March 2025. You will not be disappointed from the quality of the food to the tentativeness of the staff, nothing is a problem if you only ask. The welcome we received as returning guests ( we had only been once before and the staff remembered our names) was incredible , from the front desk to the waiters, cleaners, pool staff and many more. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday then this is it. They also have a 9 and 18 hole golf course if that's your thing...I cannot pick out one person to say that they made our holiday the best because from the jolly gardeners right through to the top man himself they all helped in doing this . Thank you Steigenberger Makadi see you in 9 weeks

We have just returned from a week’s stay here and we had a fantastic time. As other reviewers have said, the staff were all amazing - so attentive, friendly and polite. They keep the hotel immaculately clean - communal areas and rooms included. Excellent selection of food at each mealtime. We returned late one evening from Cairo and missed dinner, but the team were kind enough to deliver some food to the room for us. Loved the evening entertainment - the saxophonist and singing duet really stand out in my memory. Always plenty of space to relax by the pool in both shady and sunny areas. Pool is slightly heated too which was a nice change to some ice-cold ones I’ve experienced in the past! One thing to note - the majority of hotel guests were older than us (we are mid-30’s, they were 50/60+). One guest even commented (in jest) that we were “too young to be here!” Although that didn’t matter to us, I did want to bring it to others’ attention in case it did - it’s certainly not a “party” spot... Back to the fantastic team. Special thanks go to - - Khaled in the kitchen for making me a custom heart-shaped pancake most mornings! - Hassan for taking us wherever we needed to go…in a golf buggy! - Reda for greeting us with a smile at every mealtime - Vivien in guest relations for being so kind and polite - Ivy for the best massages at the spa! Although everyone was brilliant, those are just some that stood out to us and made our holiday extra special. We had an amazing time and I’m sure we’ll be back soon :) Best wishes from Rachel and Mike (Room 6112)

Just returned from our second visit here this year. First of all I would like to give a big shout out to the gardeners and cleaners who keep the place immaculate. Don’t think they get the praise they deserve. Team work makes the dream work, they say. In this case it’s right, from booking in we were made so welcome, some staff remembered us from our previous visit. From the managers to Ahmed who tended to our room, everyone was so attentive. The food was exceptional as testified by the weight we put on, some of which was due to Hossam who attended to everyone around the pool. He kept us fully refreshed , really did work so hard. Big thank you also to Moustaffa, Abd El Wahed and Sameh who attended to us in the restaurants, they were so friendly attentive and funny they helped make this visit so memorable and enjoyable. Big thank you to everyone at Steigenberger Makadi and we will see you again in the future.

From arrival to our departure the team at the hotel could not do enough for us. Rooms were large and immaculate and attention to detail was given. Ever day a small arrangement or gift was left on our bed. Food was really good and cooked in front of you with BBQ each night outside. Whalid by he pool was just amazing.
