Large room with balcony and lovely views over the 18th green towards the mountains. Staff are very attentive and the room is always clean. Nothing is too much trouble and they regularly bring fresh water, small gifts and refreshments.

The hospitality is horrible, they gave me hard time to enter with my car every time you go in or out
Checkin took long time, room was clean, food is ok, I asked for drinks multiple time I couldn't get any, servers don't speak English at all.
The major problem is when you check out they hold you for around 30 minutes to send someone to check the room to make sure everything is ok, customer service in general is horrible. The hotel only have 1 pool with no service or food at the pool , they have a golf course in the hotel but i didn't get a chance to play. Not recommended at because you can get much better hotel at the same area with more convenient check-in and out.

Although this hotel is set some way from the beach it just adds to its appeal. Makadi has and continues to be developed by large (600 room plus) all inclusive hotels. Steigenberger has just 80 rooms and is in a different t class altogether. Surrounded by its own golf course it is an oasis of calm and sophistication. The rooms are large and well appointed with a larger than average bathroom. Separate bath and shower and plenty of storage space. Bathrobes, slippers and tea making facilities along with a large balcony ensure a very comfy stay. The bed is on the softer side and very comfy. The food was good, especially the lunch by the pool. The pool is large and heated. The staff are excellent, always smiling and as helpful as can be. In short, an excellent location for some winter sun, away from the crowds.

Steigenberger Makadi Hotel

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderfully relaxing week at this hotel. We are thrilled to have discovered this place on Expedia.co.uk and will return in the future.

The Steigenberger Makadi is a medium sized (under 100 rooms) hotel servicing a very good, championship golf course. We don’t play golf but we were attracted to this place because it is surrounded by the links and was therefore away from other hotels and shops making it a quiet and relaxed environment. Added to that there are no children as it is “adult only” and we were very happy.

A great adults only hotel.
Small, classy and civilised, perfect for a relaxing, quiet break.
Close enough to town and beach if you want more to do, but far enough away to be quietly exclusive.

Nice hotel and friendly staff

We had a good stay, the place is well taken off and the pool is great. The only downside may be was the desserts and they didn't know whether we need to pay for a lunchbox or not.
They offer a complementary romantic dinner by the pool on Sundays and Wednesdays which is lovely.
The room was generally clean and seemed just renewed, the remote control batteries were dead and the housekeeping forgot to clean the bathroom on one day.
I highly recommend the aqua park close buy, there's free transportation and a nice discount if you ask at the reception.

A truly magnificant 5 star golf resort hotel - an Egyptian oasis in the desert!

We knew from the photos and hotel description that this would be a good high standard 5 star hotel but in reality, the quality surpassed our wildest dreams. We turned out to be one of only a very few visitors to the hotel at this time of year. As a result, we experienced virtually personal service at every turn. The rooms were luxurious, with walk-in shower as well as all the modern comforts expected of a modern 5 star hotel. Makadi Bay and the beach were a short 'free' golf buggy ride away - snorkelling, swimming and various other activities could be enjoyed locally without the hustle and bustle of Hurghada town itself, 30 kilometres away. There was a good variety of high quality restaurants which were never full - most of the other hotels having been booked on all-inclusive packages - so no need to book. Indian, asian, italian and a grill were most enjoyable. Breakfast was a feast - freshly prepared fruit platters and omelettes being a regular feature. As for the golf, again we were spoilt by being in off-season. Golf was pricey - US $80 per round - but the course was in excellent condition, well and highly challenging. An 'executive' par 3 course and 3 practice holes were also available to us. Quite simply this was a luxury holiday at a bargain price. Mel B had chosen this well as the perfect venue at which to renew her wedding vows in November 2008!

5 stars in every category

Absolutely outstanding hotel experience! We stayed here with our two daughters, ages 18 and 16, and every aspect was exceptional—from the delicious food and stylish ambiance to the fantastic location, top-notch fitness offerings, and delightful entertainment. But what truly makes this hotel stand out is the incredible staff. They were exceptionally attentive, genuinely kind, wonderfully funny, and very personable. Special thanks to Mr. Masry, Ahmed at reception, and the fantastic Kadou, the zen fitness instructor and world champion in Boccia. Highly recommend this gem!

Thank you all for making our first visit to Egypt unbelievably memorable and for making us feel as if we were visiting our second home. Truly 5 stars in every category!

Das Hotel ist ideal für Golfer, liegt direkt an einem sehr schönen, hügeligen Golfplatz in der Wüste. Das Personal is sehr aufmerksam und reagiert sofort, wenn man einen Wunsch hat ( auch wenn man als Frau diesen äußert, was in Ägypten nicht selbstverständlich ist). Das Essen ist vorzüglich und abwechslungsreich und uns ist in 19 Tagen kein Fall von Durchfall bekannt geworden ( sie haben eine Hygienebeauftragte und sind dafür auch ausgezeichnet worden). Den Strand ( gutes Shuttle) teilt man sich mit einem anderen Hotel und die Liegen mit Schirmen stehen etwas eng - wie aber auch an den anderen Hotelstränden in Makadi. Der im Winter beheizte Pool ist einfach aber schön. Die Ruhe am Pool ist sehr angenehm.

Only fun for couples

Visited Steigenberger Makadi because I had previously stayed in the Luxor Steigenberger and loved it. I however found out they are two completely different chains and have nothing in common. The biggest plus is that there are no children so you can rest and enjoy without children running around. It was however extremely boring being here alone since the hotel was filled with couples or friends traveling together. The facilities are beautiful and my room was gorgeous, I especially enjoyed the walk-in closet/big bathroom. Staff was very friendly and did their very best to keep me happy and satisfied. I was going through a tough time so I was kinda sad most of the time but everyone did their best to keep me happy. The food was very good and I liked the variety, room service worked well. If I would ever return I would do so with my husband but never again alone, too boring and nothing to do. My favourite thing was visiting the Beauty Salon and going out for shisha one night. Mostly I just hung out in my beautiful room reading my books and enjoying wine.

Conclusion... don't come here alone and this place is best suited for couples

Die Lage am Golfplatz ist sehr speziell, schön abgelegen und ruhig - ein grosser Pluspunkt. Leider ist das Hotel aber etwas heruntergekommen und während unserem Aufenthalt grassierte der Durchfall unter den Gästen, leider auch bei uns. Ob dieser vom Essen kam oder andere Ursachen hatte (Sauberkeit, Wasser, Sandsturm...!?) liess sich nicht eruieren. Wir hatten eine Suite gebucht, sehr schön gelegen und auch geräumig, aber leider ziemlich abgewohnt (Vorhänge, die fast herunterfielen, verstopfte Dusche, wo das Wasser nicht ablaufen konnte, unangenehme Gerüche aus den Rohren etc.). Das Personal war sehr freundlich und bemüht, einem alle Wünsche zu erfüllen, insbesondere im Restaurant und beim Zimmerservice. Wir haben einige Golfstunden gebucht und können den Golflehrer, Gamal, wärmstens empfehlen.

Medinet Makadi is wery quite, and there is not much happening in the hotel. If you want a relaxing holiday reading by the pool, this is a good place. If you want loud kids and animation, go somewhere else...

Wunderschönes Hotel mit herausragendem Service

Wir waren zum ersten Mal im Steigenberger Makadi und hatten das Ziel, einen sorgenfreien erholsamen Urlaub zu verbringen, in dem wir uns um nichts kümmern müssen. Und genau so war es. Viele kleine Gesten wie kalte Tücher zur Begrüssung, ein Brillenputzservice am Pool und vieles mehr machten unseren Urlaub zu einem besonderen Erlebnis. Die Anlage ist hervorragend gepflegt und die Staff ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Wir fühlten uns rundum betreut und verwöhnt, ohne uns 'belagert' vorzukommen. Ein besonderes Lob gilt unserem Waiter beim Dinner und Frühstück, dessen Art nochmal besonders positiv aufgefallen ist. Auch mit unserem Golflehrer Gamal mit seiner charmanten und fröhlichen Art hatten viel Spass auf dem Green. Sehr lieb war auch der Empfang/ die Rezeption und unser Zimmerservice. Da weiss man gar nicht, wo man anfangen und aufhören soll, wir sind einfach begeistert und können das Steigenberger Makadi uneingeschränkt empfehlen! Eine besondere Erwähnung soll noch die Küche finden: Das Büffet zum Frühstück und Dinner war von hervorragender Qualität und immer sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Auch die Küche an Pool und Strand war wirklich wunderbar!
