Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas

The house reef is wonderful and the access is well monitored by the beach guards. Sun beds were comfortable as were the actual beds in our room (albeit a bit on the hard side in the room). The food at the buffet was always tasty and there were plenty of options, only as vegetarians we lacked a bit of options or variety. Hotel reception/management was also very friendly and correct in reimbursing us for a cancelled service where they weren't at fault themselves and had no direct obligation to do so. Overall the hotel felt very secure and all staff were friendly.

The resort is huge, with a large green area, several pools and bars, animation, and a nice beach. The side gate takes you directly to Makadi city center. The sea is unbelievable, with lots of corals and plenty of fish close to the shore, no need to take snorkeling trips in my opinion. There is also a scuba diving center inside the resort you can book trips with and a small shopping center. The room and bathroom were quite spacious and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. Food quality was excellent for the price. They have different restaurants in the resort you can choose from with the basic rate. I recommend the restaurant by the beach (grilled fish or chicken a la carte) with live music almost every night - reservation needed for this one. You can also pay for an upgrade (I think around $40-50 per day) to get food a la carte. It's worth trying for 1 day at least. Overall the quality is superb and very cheap for what you get. We can't wait to go back there!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff who were very attentive. Food was fabulous, catered for all tastes and in unlimited quantities. The Asian corner restaurant was lovely with fresh food cooked to order. Nice bar area with table service, again staff that memorised regular orders. Rooms were big, kept spotlessly clean with a stocked minibar and friendly and polite housekeepers. Loved the hammocks in the beautifully maintained gardens overlooking the beach. Plenty of activities and the kids looked to enjoy themselves at kids club, as we saw pirates go past!!😁 We made use of the attached dive centre IDive Makadi Bay and that was excellent.

I would whole heartedly recommend this all inclusive retreat to anyone going to Hugrada. The place was clean, vast, the food was delicious, staff were always welcoming and we never felt there was anything missing from our trip. Never thought that we could have done with more. Special shout out to the Indian chef in West Bay. He's excellent at his craft and very considerate towards his guests, definitely such an asset to the place. That said, I think I just wanted to thank all the staff for taking such good care of us. Finally the beach linked to the hotel is excellent with some great snorkeling spots

An amazing resort with fantastic staff - starting from the check-in process at the reception (Mr. Victor, Mr. Abdel Rahman and Mr. Hatem) to the room cleanliness and size to the swimming pools, the greenery everywhere, the very long extended sandy beach with fantastic inhouse reefs to the beach bar (Abdel Rahman offered a smiley and attentive service), the pizza bar and the main restaurant - everything was very good. The food quality and freshness was very good that my sensitive tummy didn't suffer at all during my stay :) the animation lady that did morning stretching was very good.
