Jaz Makadi Saraya Palms

Jaz Makadi Saraya Palms Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Jaz Makadi Saraya Palms, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into something special — but not in an intimidating way. This four-star resort in Hurghada has this relaxed elegance that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The lobby opens up beautifully, and honestly, the whole place just breathes easy coastal living without trying too hard.

The Makadi Bay Setting

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re tucked away in Makadi Bay, which means you get that pristine Red Sea coastline without the chaos of central Hurghada. The beach here is actually stunning, with soft sand that doesn’t burn your feet and water so clear you can see straight to the bottom. There’s a golf course just down the road if that’s your thing, and the whole Madinat Makadi area feels like this perfectly planned resort community where everything just works.

Accommodations That Work

The room I stayed in was spacious and thoughtfully designed — you know, the kind of place where someone actually considered how real people live and move around. The balcony views are fantastic, whether you’re facing the gardens or the sea, and there’s plenty of storage space (which travelers always appreciate but hotels often forget about). The air conditioning works brilliantly, which in Egypt’s heat is absolutely essential.

Dining and Daily Rhythms

Breakfast here deserves special mention — they’ve got this incredible buffet setup that caters to pretty much every dietary need you can imagine. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free options are all there and actually taste good, not like afterthoughts. The main restaurant serves solid international cuisine, though I’d recommend venturing out to try some local Egyptian places too. What I really appreciated was the spa — it’s not huge, but the treatments are genuine and the staff knows what they’re doing.

Why Guests Love It

Couples seem to particularly fall for this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about those sunset views over the Red Sea, plus the resort has enough quiet corners where you can actually have a conversation. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free (they handle it all for you), and families with children will find plenty to keep everyone entertained throughout the day. What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both relaxing and engaging — you can spend days just lounging by the pool, or dive into snorkeling, golf, and exploring the area around Makadi Bay.

To book hotel in Hurghada for Red Sea reef dives, travelers lock in stays early to pair dawn boat trips with sunset beach barbecues.
