Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 16 October 2026 · How we review hotels
The Makadi Spa Hotel is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 18 and over, and it is made for couples who want calm above all. It stands on the beach at Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada, with an infinity pool facing the Red Sea, a spa and a reef right off the beach that keeps snorkellers happy. Guests talk most about the peaceful, romantic mood and the staff, who are described as warm and attentive in every part of the hotel, and many come back year after year. The weak points are in the fabric of the building. Guests say the pool floors need retiling and some rooms feel dated, and non-smokers find there is a lot of smoking outdoors around the pools. Couples on a honeymoon, an anniversary or simply a quiet week by the sea will find a friendly, restful base; travellers who want everything brand new should look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 20 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Guests describe the hotel as peaceful, tranquil and romantic, and several came for a honeymoon or an anniversary. A notable share of reviewers are on their second, third or even seventh stay.
- The staff are the most praised part of a stay. Reception, bar, cleaning and restaurant teams are all described as friendly, kind and quick to help, and many guests say they felt at home.
Things to Consider
- Several guests who loved the pools still point out that the pool floors and tiles need renovating.
- Some guests found the rooms old-fashioned in style and in need of maintenance, and one reviewer rated the buffet as average at best, preferring the à la carte options.
Should you book it?
The Makadi Spa Hotel is worth booking for couples on a honeymoon or anniversary who want peace and quiet — but pick somewhere else if you are travelling with children or anyone under 18.
