Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was quite excited to stay at Makai as I enjoyed their Dhara’s hotel in Aswan. However, Makai is a complete disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend it. There were bugs in the room, my friend got sick from the breakfast, AC remote / Kettle not working, slow service and very poor value for money as room prices fluctuate massively for them to fill the rooms.

Our stay in Makai was nothing short of beautiful. It’s newly opened but the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The beach is a walking distance from the room, and the rooms have a very nice terrace and a roof lounge.
