Prima Life Makadi Hotel - All Inclusive

The accommodation environment was pretty good, and the room was spacious and quiet. The hotel has a main buffet restaurant, but it felt like the same food was offered every day. There are also a few smaller restaurants that can be booked for free (dinner only). I recommend the Asian-themed restaurant (Soho) – it's quite suitable for Chinese palates. The hotel's private beach is a bit short, but it's enough. Now for the downsides: they really don't seem to respect Chinese people. Before checking out, it was hot and dry, and I wanted a glass of water. However, the front desk didn't give us wristbands on the day we checked in. So, the person said they needed to verify our identity, and if it wasn't correct, they would call the police. Haha, I was speechless with anger for a moment. But you have to stand up for your rights. I could skip the water, but disrespect is unacceptable! Also, the hotel is quite far from the city center, so I recommend buying all your travel essentials in advance.

We stayed as a family. It's a very clean and tidy hotel, I recommend it to everyone.

The hotel is located in Makadi Bay, about 30 kilometers from Hurghada city center. Prima Life in Makadi Bay seems to be one of the hotels with the highest occupancy, almost always fully booked. During our two-day stay, we were the only four Chinese guests; everyone else was European or American. The hotel is quite large and has its own beach where you can swim and snorkel. The room was very clean, and the bed sheets weren't pilling, but the facilities are a bit old. The bathroom drain was very slow and would get clogged during peak water usage in the evening, but showering outside of peak hours was fine. The hotel has four restaurants, but only the main restaurant was open every day. The food selection was rich and tasty; the roasted camel meat was particularly delicious. The beach bar also served freshly baked pizza from a wood-fired oven every afternoon and offered daily specialty cocktails. The service at the front desk, restaurant, and bar was good, with one exception: a waiter named Mohammed at the Oriental restaurant completely ignored us. When ordering, all the foreigners who arrived after us were served, but he didn't acknowledge the four of us. I tried to catch his eye several times, but he looked right through me. Eventually, I had to wave him down and directly ask him why he couldn't see me, and only then did he quickly serve our food. The Oriental restaurant was our only somewhat negative experience; everything else felt great. For an all-inclusive hotel costing just over 1,000, it offers excellent value for money. Overall, I highly recommend it.

The views are unbeatable, the room has no strange smells and is very clean. Great value for money.
