Amazing Stay at Albatros Makadi – Highly Recommend! We just got back from Albatros Makadi and honestly, it was one of the best trips we’ve had in a long time. The resort is brand new, everything is super clean and well-maintained, and the whole place just has a really fresh, high-end feel. The pools are fantastic, and the aqua park was a hit with everyone—there are slides for all ages, from little kids to adults. The beach is beautiful too, though I’d definitely recommend bringing sea shoes. If you’re into snorkeling, you’ll love it here. They even offer life jackets if you’re not a strong swimmer, which was a nice touch. Food-wise, I was seriously impressed. They have five restaurants, and the variety and quality were way better than what I’ve had at other hotels in Hurghada. The Steakhouse is especially good (just make sure to book it through the front desk in advance). Everything we tried was delicious—top-notch ingredients and great flavors. At night, they have live shows, but there’s more to do if you’re not into that. There’s a VR room you can use for free (which was really fun), plus courts for tennis, paddle, and football. What really made the trip for us was the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, helpful, and always smiling. You can tell they genuinely care about making your stay great. Huge thanks to Abdelrahman and Mohamed at the front desk, Sherry from guest relations (she helped set up a birthday surprise for my husband—thank you!), Rahim from housekeeping, and Mostafa from Alfredo restaurant. Honestly, the whole team was amazing. If you’re thinking of going to Hurghada, I can’t recommend this place enough. We had such a great time, and I’d go back in a heartbeat.

I will never repeat my visit again, its not totally bad bad i had some issues. staff were generally friendly and helpful except reception area, where most of the reception team seemed overwhelmed and not very welcoming. The pools were the best part of the stay. There are many of them, all clean and well maintained, which was great for relaxing during the day. Unfortunately, the animation team was very poor. Activities were always held in the same small, crowded unclean pool, and the night shows were very repetitive. Only three shows, the fire show, a kids’ show, and a basic Latin dance performance. The hotel itself is huge but many of the bikes they provide are broken, and even the working ones are only available during a limited time. Another strange thing is that the aqua park is located outside the hotel which was inconvenient. Food: It was almost the same every day, especially breakfast, which never changed during our stay. The desserts were also very disappointing. same options every day and not tasty at all. We tried the steakhouse restaurant but were also disappointed by the foid variety and the quality Rooms were clean and comfortable. the beach was not suitable for swimming, and to get to the actual swimming/snorkeling area, you had to walk about 10 minutes. One of the most frustrating parts of our stay happened on our last day. we requested a late check-out a day before departure, and a receptionist clearly confirmed that we could check out at 2:00 PM without any extra fees. However, on the day we were leaving, a different receptionist rudely told us there was no availability for late check-out. He didn’t even ask for our room number or booking details, and said the receptionist who confirmed with us “didn’t know what he was talking about.” The attitude was unprofessional and disappointing, especially after a 5 days stay. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs serious improvements in staff coordination, customer service, food variety, dessert quality, and facility maintenance.

Having been back a few weeks to reflect here's my honest review. We stayed from 1st-14th June 2025. Location - It's Makadi Bay, all that's there is the all inclusive hotels. There's nowhere remotely within walking distance. If you want to see life outside the hotel it's a 30 minute taxi. (I'd recommend downloading indrive app as taxis from hotel reception are expensive) Resort - Incredibly beautiful. A massive refit has been carried out from when this hotel was the Royal Pharaohs. Everything is new & spotlessly clean. Water park is located out the front of the hotel so a bit of a trek from seaview rooms. Wifi quite slow and would sometimes disconnect for no reason. Room - We had a Seaview room that was both large and luxurious with plenty of room for clothes, Great air conditioning, fridge topped up daily with water and bottles of coke/sprite, large tv although only uk channels were news. Quality bedding. Two minor issues though, there is no reading light in the rooms, lights are either fully on or off and also the shower does not have a handle so could be very dangerous if you slip as the shower door is glass. Staff - Room cleaner, waiting staff and lifeguards were brilliant and couldn't do enough to help, staff were let down though by grumpy barstaff and reception staff that didn't seem to know what they were doing (different answers from different staff). Communication - This hotel has very much an Polish. Russian and Egyptian clientele (I think we were the only English there) so communication in English can be tough as the staff mainly only speak pigeon English. As we had a overnight flight leaving we paid about £64 at reception for a 6pm checkout. We were woken by reception on the phone at 2pm asking why we hadn't checked out! After explaining we had paid extra and had a receipt we went for lunch as we were now awake. Upon returning to our room we were locked out and had to go find the room cleaner to open our room. Upon speaking to Guest relation we requested a refund for being woken and locked out but they would only offer a free late checkout next time or a free massage next time. A refund of the £64 should have been a minimum. Pools - Many many pools, all very nice with helpful lifeguards. Absolutely no issues what so ever with sunbeds. Although none of the pools are heated in Summer so are a little chilly but bearable. Apparently in winter one of the pools will be heated. Shops onsite - STAY AWAY! Prices are 6/7 times more than what you would pay in the local supermarket, for example Red bull in supermarket 49egp (about 80p), Red Bull in onsite shop 300egp (about £4.80). Food - Two buffet restaurants open for breakfast both serving the same usual all inclusive fare. Pancakes and omlettes cooked to order, plenty of choice just the standard. Same two buffet restaurants for lunch with a good variety including a cooked to order meat and pasta stations. Dinner is where all five buffet restaurants are open all serving different style

The hotel has a great potential to improve but not with this staff either the quality and numbers. The restaurants have a long queue on each food station, the bars’ staff are always sad and disappointed while serving The animation team is almost absent
