Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 16 October 2026 · How we review hotels
JAZ Makadi Star & Spa is an adults-only hotel in Makadi Bay, built for travellers who want a calm resort with a spa rather than a town base. The hotel's private beach is a short walk away inside the Makadi compound, there are two pools, a diving centre and the Mividaspa, and Souk Makadi is close enough to stroll to in the evening. Guests praise the staff above all, often by name, and come back again and again to the variety and quality of the food and the spotless, modern rooms. The weak points are practical. The wifi lags well behind the rest of the hotel, and Makadi Bay is far enough from Hurghada that trips into town or to the airport add up. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance in the evening. Couples and friends who plan to spend their days between the beach, the pools and the spa will find an attentive, peaceful base.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.

What Guests Loved
- Service is what guests praise above all. Reception, restaurant and animation staff are described as warm, smiling and quick to help, and many reviews thank individual team members by name for looking after them from arrival to departure.
- Guests keep coming back to the food: a wide choice that changes from day to day, consistent quality and a breakfast that stands out. Several reviewers say the food alone makes the stay worthwhile.
Things to Consider
- The wifi is the one area guests rate clearly lower than everything else. If you need to work or stream during your stay, plan for a patchy connection.
- Makadi Bay lies well south of Hurghada, with the airport 30 km away. Guests point out that hotel transport to the marina, Sheraton Street or the airport adds noticeably to the cost of a trip into town.
Should you book it?
JAZ Makadi Star & Spa is worth booking for couples and friends who want an adults-only resort with a spa by the Red Sea — but pick somewhere else if you are travelling with children – this is an adults-only hotel.
