The Makadi Palace all-inclusive resort for couples seeking romance and for families with older children who want space, beauty, and a reef worth snorkelling.
The Makadi Palace sits at the heart of Makadi Bay, where striking Moorish palace architecture frames lush gardens famed for their beauty, an oasis-style pool area lined with tall palms, and a private beach with one of the finest house reefs on the Red Sea coast.
The reef is a genuine highlight. Step off the beach and into crystal clear water teeming with sea life.
Your room or suite comes with a private balcony and a choice of garden, pool, or sea view. Junior Suites add a separate seating area for those who want more room to settle in. Suites go further with a fully separate living area and furnished terrace.
Dining encompasses both buffets and à la carte restaurants — Thai Garden, Botanical Garden and Discovery restaurant stand out, with a piano bar and several poolside bars keeping the evenings easy.
The Makadi Mall next door adds even more options when you feel like exploring.
"The hotel was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for relaxation. It offers several pools and restaurants, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The nighttime pool view from the balcony was stunning, and dining with a view of the pool created a very calm and enjoyable atmosphere.
The only downsides were the following: although the hotel has a beach, swimming in the sea is not possible because of the coral coral reefs and the area is not designed for swimming.
Another issue was the the quality of some food items. While there was a good variety of restaurants and dishes, not all of the food items were well prepared. For example, the burgers, chicken tenders, and kofta at the Sunset restaurant, and the lamb kofta at Melange restaurant were not very good, i mean they were cooked good but not tasty. However, there were still some other dishes that tasted verygood."
