We stayed at Grand Waterworld Makadi as a family of four, two adults and two children aged 4 and 5, and the hotel honestly exceeded our expectations.
We arrived around 12:00 PM and had a very smooth check-in. The reception was calm and organized, and a special thanks to Mr. Mohamed Sabry, who was extremely welcoming, professional, and helpful. We received welcome drinks and were in our room within about 10 to 15 minutes.
Without even asking, Mr. Mohamed Sabry arranged a very convenient room for us, close to the kids' aqua park, restaurants, and elevator. Since the resort is very large and we had two young children, this made a huge difference.
The room was very spacious, more like a suite than a standard room, with a living area and two sofas that could be used as beds for the children. The furniture is a little old, especially the wood, but it was not a problem for us. The room was comfortable and practical. We also found a welcome plate of desserts, fruit, and soft drinks in the room, which was a very nice touch.
The food was very good. The main Sun and Sand restaurants had a good variety, and everything felt clean and fresh. The staff were always smiling, helpful, and attentive, especially with the children.
The à la carte restaurants were one of the highlights of our stay. There are Mexican, Italian, Kebab, Vino, and German options. Mr. Mohamed Sabry helped us arrange our dinner reservations during our four-night stay. The Kebab restaurant had very good grilled food, and our favorite was definitely the Italian restaurant. The steak was excellent, and the table service made it feel like dining in a proper restaurant.
The snack options were also excellent. Places like the African and Tropical restaurants work more like proper restaurants, where you sit down, order from a menu, and the food is served to your table. There were also plenty of options for children throughout the day, including ice cream, waffles, pancakes, popcorn, juices, and snacks. Bottled water and drinks were always easy to find.
The kids' aqua park was fantastic and one of the best we have experienced in a resort. There are many slides and pools, and our children loved it. Safety was taken seriously, with lifeguards present throughout the area. At one point I mentioned to a supervisor that one slide area was getting crowded, and he immediately added another lifeguard. I really appreciated the quick response.
The resort also has many different pools, including a wave pool and a sandy beach-style pool area. The landscaping is beautiful, with plenty of greenery, palm trees, shaded areas, and attractive Islamic-inspired architecture.
The beach was another major highlight. It is sandy, clean, beautiful, and directly accessible from the resort. There were plenty of sunbeds, so it never felt overcrowded. Snorkeling was also surprisingly good because you can see fish and marine life even in relatively shallow water without having to swim far out.
But the number one thing that made this hotel special was definitely the staff. From reception to the restaurants, beach, aqua park, lifeguards, and pool teams, everyone was friendly, smiling, and genuinely trying to make guests happy.
I have stayed at several very good resorts before, including Albatros hotels, so my expectations were already high. Grand Waterworld Makadi exceeded them, and personally I enjoyed this stay even more than Albatros Portofino.
For families with young children, I highly recommend this hotel. Great staff, excellent aqua park, beautiful beach, very good food, plenty of snacks and drinks, spacious rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere.
We had a wonderful four-night stay and would definitely consider coming back again. Special thanks again to Mr. Mohamed Sabry and all the staff who made our holiday so enjoyable.

The Solymar beach resort is not the most expensive resort in the Hurghada/Safaga area, but it’s also not the cheapest. Because of this, we were expecting it to be quite middle-of-the-range in terms of quality. At every turn, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted.
The staff were friendly and courteous - whether at the reception, in the restaurant, or walking past someone watering the grass, you are guaranteed a friendly greeting. Everyone is quick to know their customers - after just a day in our usual spot on the beach, Ahmed knew our usual order. The hyper-energetic Magic Entertainment team members were also quick to build rapport and make us feel included in the resort vibes.
We plunged immediately into extreme relaxation with a “honeymoon massage” at the spa, which included time in the dry and steam saunas, a special hammam exfoliation ritual on a heated marble slab, a full-body Dead Sea mud wrap, and an oil massage. The masseuses were talkative and playful - possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this seems to be the Egyptian way and certainly got me smiling and giggling along.
There is not a moment of the day when you might be at risk of going hungry. From the early breakfast in the main restaurant, to the late breakfast at the beach, to the drinks and snacks on offer throughout the day at the pool bar and restaurant, there is always a wide array of quality F&B choices. There is some variation from day -to-day options, and it’s always worth checking out the “fresh-from-the-grill” area to see what the day’s speciality may be. Part of the stay includes one complementary meal at one of the two a la carte restaurants (Italian/Egyptian) where the food is a level or two up from what’s served in the buffets. Go hungry - the Egyptian meal included a starter of hot and cold mezze, a soup, a main course and a dessert (with alternative plant-based and kiddies’ menus).
The resort has done a lot to ensure that it is eco friendly. Apart from the usual request to hang up towels to save water on unnecessary cleaning, they also purify their own water, which is left in your room in chilled glass bottles (it tastes a little weird, but it’s good for the planet).
Overall, highly recommend the Solymar resort.

Guest UserWe usually visit several hotels during our trips, and generally, they're all pretty similar. But THIS hotel is something else entirely – it's Rixos-level luxury! It seems the hotel is still new and hasn't built up enough of a reputation for sky-high prices yet, so you get Rixos quality at Albatros rates. The food is amazing; salmon and shrimp are commonplace here. The staff are friendly and attentive. I particularly want to commend Mohamed at the front desk. He's a young man who's incredibly dedicated to his job. We got an early check-in from him just for a smile. When we lost an AirPod, he helped us resolve the issue. It was my wife's birthday, and he made sure we were congratulated, and he helped with many other things. Not once did I see a bored look or any hint of expecting a tip... We really regret that our trip is already planned out and we have to move on to the next hotel. If we had known how great it would be here, we would have spent our entire vacation right here.

Anonymous UserNice new inclusive hotel. The staff is friendly. However, as a 5 stars hotel, I think that it should be normal to provide amenities such as toothbrush, etc.
For the food, very good (the buffet). The “fine dining” experience is actually just eating à la carte style and they should not market it as fine dining.
Very nice swimming pool and beach.
For the spa, the organisation is not good at all. We bought a combo, and they only gave us the massage. We had to tell the spa reception that we have not experience everything we bought. After the spa, we were all wet, no towels were given. My girlfriend and I had to go out, wearing just swimsuit to the reception to demand towels while we were drenched in water. But fyi, the spa is 3rd party provider, not Amarina it self, they just rent the whole floor to a spa. Anyways, they should have verified the spa and its service well before opening to the public. This is not acceptable.

I really liked the soft bedding at this hotel, and the room was quite clean, though it's a bit out of the way. You can't really see the sea view. The partition between the bathroom and the bed is a nice touch. However, the downside is that the entire hotel is incredibly massive, with thousands of rooms. Just getting to and from my room takes 6-7 minutes, and there's constant uphill and downhill walking. When I first arrived and wasn't familiar with the surroundings, I couldn't even find my room. It really cut into my plans for sightseeing.

ZeynepiHisham was incredibly helpful and really made our stay feel like a 5-star experience. The rooms, pools, and beaches are lovely, but the people are what truly make this hotel special. Everything was clean and well maintained. The only small downside for me was that some of the food, especially the desserts, tasted a bit bland, but there are plenty of options to choose from. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Stay at The Grand Hotel Hurghada (24/7 – 30/7)
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at **The Grand Hotel Hurghada** from **July 24th to July 30th**, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team for making our vacation truly memorable.
The **food** was simply outstanding. The quality, taste, and unbelievable variety exceeded all expectations. Every meal offered something new and delicious, making dining one of the highlights of our stay.
The **staff** deserve special recognition. Every single member of the team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. They were always smiling and genuinely happy to help, serving guests with dedication and pleasure. Their positive attitude made us feel at home from the very first day.
A special thank you goes to **Mr. Nader** at the Reception. He is, without a doubt, one of the best hotel reception managers I have ever met. He is highly professional, courteous, and an excellent problem-solver. Any issue was handled quickly and efficiently, always with a smile.
I would also like to thank **Mr. Mohamed Moawad** from the Food & Beverage Department. He is one of the finest professionals at the hotel—extremely humble, welcoming, respectful, and genuinely caring about the guests' comfort.
Another person who deserves special praise is **Chef Mahmoud**. He is simply one of the best. His passion and dedication are reflected in the outstanding quality of the food served throughout the resort.
The team at the **Eastern Restaurant** was exceptional. They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. **Mostafa** and **Ashraf** and **Mohamed**deserve special recognition for their excellent service and kindness. Dining there was always a wonderful experience.
The **Room Service** was also excellent. **Majed** is a kind-hearted gentleman who serves guests with genuine dedication, professionalism, and a cheerful attitude. His hard work did not go unnoticed.
The **beach** is beautiful, sandy, clean, and perfect for families. There were always plenty of available sunbeds and enough space for everyone to relax comfortably without feeling crowded.
The hotel offers a great selection of restaurants:
* The International Restaurant next to the Reception.
* The Pasta Restaurant on the second floor.
* The Eastern Restaurant with its outdoor grill near the Reception.
* The large white beach restaurant serving Shawarma, Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Pizza.
* Another beach restaurant serving snacks and French fries.
Every one of these restaurants offered excellent food and service.
The only point I would suggest improving is the **swimming pool area**. The hotel has only one main pool, which is not enough considering the large number of guests staying at the resort.
Overall, my family and I had an outstanding holiday. The excellent hospitality, delicious food, beautiful beach, and the genuine kindness of the staff made this one of our best vacations. I highly recommend **The Grand Hotel Hurghada** and look forward to returning again.

泄湖景完全是來搞笑的,所謂泄湖就是個小水泡,陽臺中間還隔着一段距離和樹擋着,跟其他評論一樣,存在一定的歧視,但是大部份工作人員還是挺友善的,雖然這本來就是他們應該做的。中間想加錢升級海景,帶我們去看的也還是一個稍微大一點的水泡而已,工作人員告訴我這已經是最好的海景房了,最後並沒有升級,泳池開放時間特別晚關閉時間卻很早,如果要出海這家酒店完全沒必要,吃的甚至不如國內100塊錢人民幣的自助餐,基本都靠吃麪包吃飽的,我們拿行李小費給了一美金態度還可以,同行的另一對沒有零錢了給了10埃磅態度就很差,對於一家五星級酒店這種事不應該發生,還是建議加錢選擇更好的全包酒店,或者普通的全包,想省錢或者出海沒有時間在酒店那就市區選擇一家便宜的就好了,這邊出行也並不方便,最後,我們check out的時候工作人員態度非常好,忘記問他的名字了,當看到我們自己拿行李過來了一直在向我道歉,告訴我他們應該安排擺渡車過來接我們的,海邊和泳池邊工作人員也很好,太陽下山後我們想去游泳,海邊的工作人員告訴我太陽下山後海里很危險,並且開玩笑説會有鯊魚,泳池邊的工作人員很耐心的告訴我泳池關閉了,要消毒,會傷眼睛,總的來説,真的不值這個價

AlixosLet’s start with that the team went above and beyond so that we have the best experience. We got a very clean and modern room but was on the ground floor. We asked for a room on a higher floor so they showed us different options but clarified that they weren’t renovated yet. The next day they moved us to a renovated room on a higher floor (the photos attached). The team’s response is quick. We had breadkfast and dinner included. The breakfast is a variety of cheese, turkey and chicked slices, baked goods, pancakes eggs, sausages, vegetables, fruits and drinks, etc. The dinner we had was mainly salads, rice, kufta (minced beef with spices, cooked potatoes, duck, baked goods, and deserts.
Finally, the resort has access to the beach/sea, it is across the street though and a 10 min walk away.
Thanks for the team for making our experience and vacation as chill and relaxing as possible.
