 | Hurghada Le Meridien Makadi Bay Resort Reviews | Tips 1 - 7 of 7 |  |
 | |  |  | Le Meridien Makadi Bay Resort: never again....... Not if you Paid me!!!!
|  |  | |  |
We travelled and stayed in The Le Meidien, Makadi Bay in June/ July 2006, staying for 1 week which was more than sufficient. The hotel is NOT a 5 star hotel and is reminiscent a 1950’s Butlins holiday camp, although at least Butlins did what they did well.
Staff at the hotel are generally friendly, however this is spoilt by a few very unprofessional staff asking or just helping themselves to cigarettes from guests, making derogatory remarks about paying guests, being inefficient and generally giving impression that everything was too much trouble. We were not able to access a room safe as they were unable to supply one and could only give one key for our accommodation.
I have stayed in various hotels ranging from 3 star to 5 star in Egypt and this hotel does not come close to a 5 star hotel. The rooms are basic and often a great distance from the main hotel, reception staff are extremely unfriendly, the food is very basic and the restaurant is more like a college canteen where you just want to eat and get out.
The location of the hotel is 25km’s south of Hurghada with a few other hotels also within the bay. Management have fully exploited the fact that the hotel has little competition in the immediate vicinity which is reflected in the more than 5 star prices charged within the shops in the hotel complex eg, £4.50 bottle of coke.
If you want to enjoy a good holiday in the Hurghada area, then please do not book this hotel, there are plenty of 5 star hotels in Hurghada or El Gouna, where you will enjoy your holiday and which offer a true 5 star experience.
Lack of customer care

There is not one thing i can think of that i disliked about this hotel. It was absolutely GREAT! By far the best hotel i have ever stayed in. Hurghada is a beautiful place. Quiet, unspoilt, you will not need to come out of the hotel! The hotel includes an indoor swimming pool and beauty parlor, which was bliss!! The outdoor pool was a little on the chilly side but it was beautiful, the biggest pool ive seen in my whole life of travelling! This is the best holiday i haver ever been on in my life. A 5 star for everything. The service was great. It has a disco for all you party lovers! But if you're not into that you cant hear it going on! It is peaceful! The food, where do i start?? Great for all ages! there was lots of restaurants, You ccan have typical egyptian food, Italien or whatever, And if you have a fussy child, cool! They can just help themselves to chicken and chips! The beach is marvellous, the sea? It took my breath away, you coukld walk out for about 5 minutes, it is crystal clear! And the weather? Ive never been to anywhere hotter.You are guaranteed the best holiday EVER i can't describve how good it was ive tried my best but words cannot explain it.And there is no doubt about it i will be off there again as soon as i can! and again and again!!
