This was our first visit to Egypt. The Jaz Makadi Oasis Resort is set amid the most beautifully landscaped gardens, the gardens which are exquisite, are tendered to, by a group of hard working gardeners who take so much pride in their work. As a family group we had 3 rooms between us, they were clean, comfortable and spacious with had adequate storage, the friendly house keeping staff attended daily, there was always fresh towels for the beach as well as the bathroom. Fresh water was always supplied daily. We all enjoyed the buffet-style meals in restaurant, there was always a large variety of hot and cold dishes. It is fair to mention that it was difficult each day, at breakfast and dinner to find a table to accommodate our family to sit together, guests on arrival at the restaurant are left to sit anywhere and there were many couples who took tables meant for 6 people, we did raise this each day with restaurant staff. Most of the staff were extremely helpful to move tables for us, some seemed reluctant, because this happened at each meal time, this just took away a little from our full enjoyment. The poolside snack bar provides refreshments throughout the day, which is very good, in our opinion though the best snack bar was down at the beach, this served fabulous pizza, panini , burgers , fries etc. The staff down at the beach were fabulous always on hand to find you sun beds and wind breaks and move them to where you choose. A special mention of Tariq, he had the responsibility of cleaning the beach toilet facilities everyday, he was extremely hardworking and friendly. We spent much of our week at the beach, there are Coral Reefs near to the shore and we spent many hours snorkelling and looking at the hundreds of awesome fish species. We did experience a problem making a reservation for our a la carte dinner at our chosen restaurant. We made several attempts to book without success, in the end we were very unhappy and we had to involve the hotel manager, he did help us but we had to compromise to an early dinner at 6pm. You are only able to book your a la carte dinner, 48 hours prior and the restaurant’s, of which I think there are 7, are shared with 10 other hotels, hence at busy times you may be disappointed. The animation team were fabulous, in particular Tiger who worked very hard to ensure that we had opportunities to be included in activities. The evening entertainment was actually really good. Each evening it was great to sit and relax and we had the great pleasure in being looked after by the wonderful bar team , in particular Ali, what a great person, always friendly, professional and hardworking, credit to the Jaz group. We visited the Makadi Water Park which was such great fun, we had fabulous family time here, it’s about 10 minutes on the shuttle bus. Apart from the few little things I mentioned on the whole this is a fantastic hotel resort, we had such a brilliant holiday.
