Sunrise Royal Makadi Aqua Resort - Select

Absolutely amazing hotel. So clean. The rooms (we had a family suite) was great having the kids in one room and the kids in another. The water park was great but the beach was brilliant. Ellie, Boda and Fadi (the badi) are an absolute credit to the entertainment team. Hamdy is a great magician he has the kids amazed. We can’t wait to come back next year thank you for a wonderful holiday!!

Our stay at Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort was absolutely wonderful. The resort exceeded all my expectations with its high-quality service and warm hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help — from the reception team to the restaurant staff and animation crew. The territory is spacious, beautifully maintained, and full of greenery, with great pools and a lovely beach. The food was delicious and diverse, offering plenty of options for every taste. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout our holidays

We had a truly perfect holiday at this hotel! From the very first moment, we felt completely comfortable and welcome. The rooms were spotless, modern, and very well maintained every day. It really felt like a home away from home. The food was delicious and varied, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there was always something new and tasty to try. The drinks selection was also fantastic: fresh cocktails, cold soft drinks, and great coffee , everything you could wish for! A very special mention goes to Kaja from the animation team! Her positive energy and warm personality made every day unforgettable. She was always full of enthusiasm, made everyone feel included, and ensured there was never a dull moment. Whether it was games, shows, or activities – Kaja put her heart into everything she did and truly made our stay exceptional. We’ll definitely be back and can highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you for an unforgettable holiday! 🌴✨

Wonderful holiday. Amazing hotel with extremely helpful and friendly staff throughout. Animation team are the best, special shout out to Fadi, he’s super helpful friendly and informative. Food and a la carte restaurants are to die for. This was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Thank you to everyone, also Mahmoud beach bar who makes the best Bloody Mary!

We stayed here for about 15 days, and it was my third visit to Sunrise Royal Makadi. I must say that unlike other properties that have gone downhill, Sunrise has improved significantly. Overall everything was excellent, but what impressed me the most (and the biggest improvement I saw) was the staff - service by all staff was luxury-level : probably the best I' ve experienced in Egypt and probably elsewhere. Everyone was very kind, attentive, really cared, very patient, willing to help, nobody was looking to harass me for tips and I never ever saw a bad gesture or an irritated reply . Kudos for the excellent selection and training. - Room quality was great, A/C and internet worked very well (both for video conferencing and streaming). - The snack bar at the reception and bar that were open 24 hours and where someone could freely pick pastries and sweets was a great addition from my previous stays. - Food in the main buffet had a lot of variety and was of high quality - I especially liked the salads, fruits, chicken and kofta options were great. - Huge variety of deserts although quality was a bit of a hit and miss. - Beach was very clean, beach beds were very comfortable, staff was always around to help. Impressed by waiters taking orders for drinks at the beach itself. - Lots of pools very well maintained, with night "crash car"-type boats for kids in one of the pools (this was cool) - Beautiful territory that' s well taken care of. - In general everything is run very efficiently. - Soft sandy beach, with direct access to the water, and good for swimming as well. - Water was fantastic, crystal clean. Althoug snorkeling is great, there are not that many house reefs - the neighbouring Fort Arabesque hotel has way better house reefs. But no problem- you can just walk freely to the next hotel and snorkel there. We did that Now, some things that could benefit from improvement: - Animation team did their best and you could see that they genuinely cared, but many of the artists they hired for the shows were just average. On the other hand, this is not Broadway or Cirque Du Soleil, so it is what it is. I might suggest having a permanent nightly movie cinema session, and having a permanent also disco session for adults (we also want to dance, not only the kids!), probably combining them with some dance lessons, and also more contemporary activities - computer/arcade games, board games, billiard or ping pong tables, etc.might be a good idea. - In general it would be great if all the activities and options were better communicated. For example, there could be a billboard at the restaurant entrance, at the reception, etc. - The first 3 or so days there was a terrible smell coming from the water they used to irrigate the grass, until we complained and they stopped using whatever additive or fertilizer they were using, and the situation was fixed. - I got food poisoning after one of the dinners in the main restaurant (I suspect it was due to the poorly made salmon), which had me in bed for two days. Nothing serious, simply very unpleasant, but the staff did genuinely care, offering to prepare special meals and send them to the room, inviting me to visit the clinic, checking on me repeatedly, etc. - Quality of the dive center is poor (they are an independent company on the territory of the hotel - I wrote a separate review for them). I tried diving and doing an excursion with them, the result was bad, service was abysmal, so I went back to my usual dive center in the area which is iDive. - The breakfast in the main restaurant is generally of poor quality and extremely repetitive - the cold cuts are terrible, and the cheeses and bakery are just average. I suggest adding more fresh fruit, properly sourced quality bakery, and improve the quality of the cold cuts. - Soft Icecream was in general very poor quality and always the same flavors. Getting proper ice cream is very cheap and easy to achieve and can have a huge impact on satisfaction, especially if you add small toppings of various kinds.
