Jaz Makadi Saraya Palms

This hotel is a great value hotel with superb staff & service. We booked an 11 day holiday to Hurgarda very last minute and were so pleased we chose this hotel - we could not recommend it enough.

We arrived at 3am and were swiftly checked in and provided with option for a snack bags. We were taken to our room which was massive - 2 bed, 3 bathroom with a small kitchenette - it was huge. Perfect for our family of 5. Some may argue that some of the decor is a little dated/worn in places but for us the space was much more important. We loved our room - it was quiet (never heard a soul). It was well cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels and new bottles of water provided in the fridge. The hotel vibe is really chilled - we had such a relaxing holiday. It is not a huge hotel but I think that is part of its charm. The restaurant is spacious - no trouble in getting seated and the food is a good variety. It is actually a surprisingly relaxing atmosphere. The highlight for me was finding out what was the charcoal grilled food of the day. All of the children would find something that they would like and if not then the staff were so accomodating for our daughter who can be fussy. In the evening the rooftop bar is a lovely place to chill out - be sure to pop up there for sunset before dinner - some lovely views and again a real chilled vibe. The animation team were fun with various activities around the pool etc. They werent too in your face and if you politely declined they were happy to accept it. The kids club is a nice feature that runs couple hours in the morning and couple of hours in the afternoon - great for the kids to cool off and have some downtime. Location - the hotel location is about a 15 minute walk/2 min hotel shuttle bus to the beach. Beach is nice with plenty of umbrellas/sunbeds with plenty of good snorkelling (take water shoes and the rocks in the shallows can be sharp). The hotel all inclusive deal is valid at the beach cafe which does a good selection of basic lunch / drinks. Also included in the hotel stay is a shuttle bus to the Makadi Waterpark - again included as part of hotel package - a great water park with plenty of slides / entertainment - with lunch / snacks / drinks all included.

Finally I felt that the jewel in the crown for the hotel is the staff and the service. A friendly, hard working collective who do the best to ensure you have the best time. A huge shout out to the following names that I can remember:

• Restaurant - Mohammed - great chef!
• Rooftop bar - Mahmood / Ali
• Pool Bar - Ab del
• Animation - Amir / Abbie

We loved this hotel and the staff and hope to return.

P.S. Recommended expeditions - Sunrise horse ride down to the beach (even my 5yr old was riding her own horse) / Snorkelling

The resort is stunning, beautifully maintained, and The rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the overall amenities and pools exceeded my expectations. ​A special and heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for their warmth and top-notch hospitality. I want to give a particular shoutout to Mr. Mahmoud Abdel Aziz at the reception Manager. His professionalism, welcoming smile, and efficiency made our check-in and stay completely seamless. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. ​Thank you, Jaz Makadi Saraya Palms team, for making this vacation unforgettable. We will definitely be back!
