Stella Makadi Resort

I cannot fault this hotel complex at all, the staff cannot do enough for you, the rooms were the cleanest I have ever stayed in to date. There was plenty of well cooked and varied dishes on offer in the resaurant at all meal times. I can't wait to go back again next year!! I have no photo's to add to my comments as yet but intend to add in the future.

The hotel was fabulous, food was exceptional bearing in mind that they are catering for many different nationalities and religions, service i couldn't fault, very attentive and always polite. We stayed for two weeks and by the end we still wanted more. The lunches at the beach bar were perfectecly fine, light and simple snacks, our only reservation was with the water activity team, the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing so if you need to book a trip with them make sure you get all the relevant information first. WELL DONE... more

Good hotel with a child friendly beach with a jetty so that you can walk out to the coral reef - Brilliant. Pools are close by to the rooms and have good services. Rooms are spacious and well kitted out with good staff who turn the towels into Works of Art. All the staff are there to help and are pleasent to a fault. Definitely a place to have a good rest. Food looks appealing. We were the advance guard of Thomas Cook's spearhead into this hotel. 98% of the other guests were German. SURVIVAL 1. Food tasted BLAND, as per the... more

This hotel well deserves its 5 stars. The place was clean and very spacious. The staff went out of their way to be efficient, friendly, helpful etc. Rooms were lovely, clean sheets and towels everyday. The entertainment was good, especially the Whirling Dervishes, they were amazing. The food is all buffet style, and is served in all different places over the hotel. The choice is good, but not if you are a fussy veggie. The Animation team were brill too, how they found the energy to work approx 16hrs a day and still be smiling is beyond... more

The resort is very beautiful , very clean rooms , great food is excellent , diversified , swimming pools clean , safe for Children parks and greenery everywhere,the beach is clean and pure water

We didn't book this hotel, we were moved here after booking Serenity Heights which was disgusting. But this hotel saved our holiday from being totally ruined! The hotel is new. Thomas Cook have only just started selling it and it is not yet in the brochures. The rooms are quite small but very nice and cleaned perfectly everyday. The pools and gardens are immaculate. The staff are very friendly but most food and drink is self service. The beach is nice but access to the sea is via a long jetty because of the coral reef.<br... more

This is a large hotel with 600 rooms and 1300 guests when full but at no time does it seem unduly crowded. The majority of guests are from Russia, Germany, France or Italy with only about 70 Brits during our stay. Excellent service and friendliness is provided by all the staff at this hotel from Front Desk, waiters, chefs & catering staff, bar staff and room boys, most of whom speak reasonably good english. The buffet style dining works well in spite of the large number of guests and food platters are continually replenished even for... more

Just got back from a week at the Stella Makadi, its was an enjoyable and relaxing break. This is my 4th trip to Egypt. I will start with the positives as they far out weigh the negatives. . . From the moment you arrive the staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble and this is the same in all areas of the hotel and their is no expectation to be tipped (however a very small tip of even 50p can improve the already exceptional service). There is a large selection of swimming pools all of which are really nice and clean... more

Stayed for a week All Inclusive at the Stella Makadi at the end of September. Absolutely great hotel, have only knocked one blob off for location as it is in an area where there are just hotels, but if you want a week by the pool or diving it's just perfect. Travelled with Thomas Cook who have only started visiting the hotel in the last 6 weeks, this was fairly evident by the relative lack of Brits staying (mostly German, Russian & Italian guests). Personally I didn't have a problem with this as I don't go abroad to spend time with my... more

i booked with thomas crook and met the rep at the hotel who did say that english people had only just started going to this hotel for the past 5 weeks, that is reason for so much russian and german people however this was not a problem. my wife and i stayed here for 7 nights for our anniversary and we were quite suprised at hows good the service was, these people cannot do enough for you, especially when they found out that we were english. we were getting platters of food and drink sent to our room almost daily. the head chefs would come... more
