Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 16 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Steigenberger Makadi is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, and it works best for couples and golfers who want peace rather than a big resort. It sits within the 18-hole Makadi Golf Course at Makadi Bay, with rooms in earthy tones that open onto terraces overlooking the course, a spa with sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, and an outdoor pool. Guests talk above all about the staff, often by name, and about clean, spacious rooms and a breakfast they look forward to. The main trade-off is the beach. It is about 1 km away and reached by shuttle bus, which several guests found less convenient than expected, and there is only one pool on site. Some rooms are due a refresh, and Wi-Fi is the weakest point. Golfers and couples who value calm and service will feel well looked after; children under 16 cannot stay.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.

What Guests Loved
- Steigenberger Makadi is an adults-only hotel where guests must be 16 or over. Guests describe it as calm, clean and uncrowded, a place to unwind rather than a busy resort.
- The staff are named in review after review, from the front desk and housekeeping to the bar and pool teams and the management. Guests mention birthdays remembered, problems solved straight away and a welcome that brings them back.
Things to Consider
- The beach is about 1 km away and reached by the hotel's shuttle bus. Several guests found this less convenient than they expected, and the hotel has a single outdoor pool, so beach lovers should plan around the shuttle.
- Some guests feel the rooms have not been updated for many years. They remain clean and comfortable, but the decor and some details show their age.

Steigenberger Makadi is worth booking for golfers who want to stay right on the course — but pick somewhere else if you are travelling with children under 16 – this is an adults-only hotel.
