Xanadu Makadi Bay

I stayed at Xanadu Makadi with Fady Travel, and I would like to thank them for the fast and professional check-in process. Special thanks to the reception team for their warm welcome, the restaurants for the delicious food, and all the staff for always being friendly and smiling. It was a very pleasant stay.

Abdulkarim khalaf is the best bartender, go to the dockery club is gonna be very proffesional and best cocktails and ASK for original ice tea!!! Overall hotel is very good, everyone is very friendly, alkochol is goos too.

We are a family (3adults, 1 child and 2 teenagers) from the UK who have never visited Egypt before. I booked Xanadu Makadi bay after looking at many hotels and their reviews. I’m so glad I did. The hotel is incredible and lived up to all our expectations. On arrival we were upgraded to swim up rooms which was just amazing. The rooms were stunning and had everything we needed. I had emailed before we arrived to request our 2 rooms were as close together as possible and we were delighted to have rooms next door to each other. The staff really do go above and beyond for you. The reception staff and guest relations are so helpful and we booked Al Carte restaurants without any issues. We loved the Indian and Turkish Al carters. The main buffet always had lots of choice and was very tasty. The staff in the main buffet restaurant are incredible. Our cleaner Eid was fantastic, so friendly and happy and created us some amazing towel art and kept our rooms spotless and always with a smile on his face. We loved all the pools but tended to use the heated pools and found the staff around them at the Xanadu club to be so friendly and bring us all drinks over. We could always find sunbeds and there are towel stations all over the resort. WiFi was brilliant, we even had WiFi at the beach which kept teenagers happy. We didnt end up buying any data while here as the WiFi was so good. We went diving and snorkelling on the beach and found the diving staff very professional and the entire experience was magical. It was our first time diving so we choose not to go out off a boat. The beach was very clean, plenty of showers and you can always find a sunbed. Another reason we chose Xanadu was for the premium drinks and I’m so glad we did. There is so much choice, from beer, wine, sparkling wine, cocktails, rum and gin. We particularly liked the cocktails at the beach bar. I highly recommend Xanadu makadi bay and really hope to return there one day. The entire experience was fantastic.

This was our 3rd visit to Xanadu & lived up to expectations. The service is 1st class & it’s amazing how many staff recognised us & went the extra mile to make us feel special. We were upgraded to a dune suite & this was in an excellent location. The facilities you can now use in the next door sister hotel mean even more choice of bars & food & pools. There is a huge choice of food, activities & entertainment never short of something to do. Overall we had a fantastic holiday again with superb weather & we are looking forward to booking our next visit on January next year & would highly recommend this excellent hotel to anyone. Thanks again Xanadu!

We came back to Xanadu after a year in which we tried a different hotel, and honestly, we missed it. We were welcomed very warmly, and in less than an hour from arrival we were already in our room. After such a nice welcome, we were attentive as well, and it paid off—we received an upgrade from the room we had originally booked. We stayed in room 5707, in the Dune area—an excellent location, right in the center. You can quickly reach everything: restaurants, pools, and the beach, without necessarily using the resort’s transport. The room is very large, spacious, and comes with its own private pool, which made the experience even better. We found the same attention to detail as last time: impeccable cleanliness, great service, and a constant care for guests. The food is very tasty and diverse, available almost all day—you have breakfast until 11, then lunch, and dinner goes on until midnight. As a couple, we chose the Adults Only beach area again, for more peace and relaxation. We appreciated that this year they added windbreak panels to the umbrellas, offering more privacy. Another big plus: in this area there are no service vendors approaching you, without needing to signal it in any way (as is required in other beach areas). It’s a restricted zone where only the staff serving water and drinks have access. For activities, we went ourselves to the sales centers and arranged everything: parasailing, private boat snorkeling (thank you, Radu), and massage (special thanks to Sara). If you enjoy entertainment, there’s plenty to do: the team is present both during the day and in the evening. Music on the beach is well balanced—it plays between 10:00–12:30 and 15:00–16:30, and the rest of the time you can enjoy the quiet. Every evening there are shows at Xanadu Center (near the beach), and sometimes at Sky Bar as well. For more lively fun, you can go to the Irish Pub – Rosebud (inside the hotel, on the ground floor) for karaoke and billiards, or to The Docker (in Xanadu Club, outside the hotel, a new addition compared to two years ago) for those who enjoy club music. We also happened to be there during Xanadu’s 4-year anniversary, which they celebrated properly—with parties all day, fast-paced energy, and fireworks in the evening. We highly recommend it and will certainly return.
