“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!
