Serenity Makadi Beach

Nothing IsReal

Great hotel for scuba diving, snorkeling and bathing. Everything is in great condition (new). Delightful park. Nice pools with bars. Very good food with a variety of freshly grilled meat, very tasty fish and an outstanding variety of desert specialties. Personal very polite and helpful. Perfect organization. Direct access to the coral reef across a walkable bridge, in good condition. Outstanding snorkeling possibilities. Surrounded by fish swarms. Scuba diving base directly on premises, with possibility to achieve a license in a couple of days or simply enjoy two 30 minute dives with a dive instructor on a day trip - even for children! Gains entertainment program - but mostly for adults or elderly. Within kids I would recommend the directly neighboring hotel, which sports many slides and kids entertainment options. Tasteful night shows every night. We loved it! Tip: the upgrade to the rooms with ocean view is well worth the extra cost!

We have just spent a week here. We would definitely come again and hugely recommend this hotel. Positives Brilliant staff. Very accommodating, helpful and polite. Brilliant food and choices. Brilliant immaculate quiet clean rooms. Brilliant house reef for diving/snorkelling. Brilliant lunch boxes Brilliant Grand Spa and staff Hardly any children so quiet. Negatives.. Parrots looked in good healthy condition and well looked (for birds in captivity) they can stretch their wings and fly side to side but I feel they would like more enrichment toys etc whilst in a cage, / bigger cage considering all of the spare room around them-it would make their life so much better.. The steps in entertainment area need better lighting at night. Within half an hour we were there, we watched three people slip on the bottom step one seriously injuring her foot. We didn’t receive an important message from our tour guide (passed to reception around 2pm) which we should’ve received the day before our trip, which was a little disappointing by reception even though it was sent within lots of time to be passed on correctly. (Even though every other time they were amazing) Being hassled constantly by vendors on the beach got very annoying and I could see how people would find this irritating It would’ve been nice to look round the shops and actually have prices on products rather than having to haggle for everything. We ended up paying £17.50 for much needed after sun which I think is extortionate. It put us off going into the souvenir shops. Very sad to see that tour operators within the hotel are selling trips to go and visit dolphins in captivity, dolphins should be in the wild this is why many tour agents have already stop selling tickets to SeaWorld etc as animals should not be have to perform for human entertainment 😢

A real oasis in the desert 😍 An amazing and beautiful place to stay, highly recommend. The staff went out of their way to make our stay an unforgettable experience. Great food, beautiful beach, fantastic pools, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!

American family of four (mom dad 18 & 8) stayed for four nights in April. After a mild hiccup during the initial check in process, this stay was nothing short of excellent for my whole family. Grounds are beautiful, you can sit at the beach and see a beautiful sunrise over the Red Sea, water park next door was such a nice perk of staying at Serenity. As fun as the water park is, I’m very pleased that we stayed at Serenity instead, as the layout and overall vibe at serenity were more relaxing. This is a property that wants to earn top marks from all its guests, and the various management teams do very well in taking care of their clients‘ reasonable requests. Guests seemed majority German, with the next most represented country being the UK. In general a very well behaved crowd there during our stay.

So this hotel was in the new Makadi area so a fair amount of desert around. But didn't take long to go to Hurghada city etc. Even used the hotel to catch a taxi to Luxor. The hotel is quite beautiful and the food is very nice. Special thank you to the amazing manager Ahmed and chef Ashraf at restaurant Bioche (Baywatch) who felt more like family (and even made dishes we requested!), as well as our room boy Mahmoud who was sweet and kind. Finally JazakAllah to Sherif who made our whole stay wonderful. In fact all of the staff were generally kind, warm, helpful and friendly.
