“Cool down”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

just came back from 1 week of vacation in mid October.

Positive:

- friendly staff (if you hear a lot of stories on that you need to tip just to get any service in Egypt, we were presently surprised)
- very clean rooms
- animation team which is animating but not annoying

Negative:

- food variety: stay with the local selection at the buffett which was mostly good but 6 nights of the same pasta, pizza and salads were a bit bland

- Pool temperature: the temperature of the pool was far too cold. even the local animation team had their challenges getting in the water. The highlight was the Hotel's General Manager who seriously said, that the pool wasn't being heated yet because only from the 1st of November it would be cold and then they would start turning on the heater (Thanks for being so energy efficient).

All in all an OK but not spectacular vacation...

“Perfect stay.”

This is one of the smaller hotels in the Madinat Makadi. The standard is the same as with the other Jaz hotels in the same category but more relaxed and easy going. Immaculate grounds and friendly staff , the food was varied and tasty, fish is served quite often . You get cake and cookies at tea time ! It's a fair walk to the beach and they have a bar there with a nice setting and serving snacks at lunch time. Although the hotel is on an AI scheme you need to pay extra for bottled water from the mini-bar.
Normally the receptionists at hotels have their own way special lofty way to deal with guests, not so here these are true gentleman. We had a good laugh when I answered the wake-up call with a "thank you for calling room 343". Tatiana, the russian guest relations is a doll. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Had a wonderful stay at the Makadi Sun, weather was very hot, rooms were lovely, service was fantastic, food was really good, bit weird some evenings but you could always find something you liked, but hey you are in Egypt and the food is always going to be catered for all different nationalities, the breakfast however was amazing as was the food at the beach bar. Went on snorkeling trip with tiger tours, they were fantastic.
