TripAdvisor Review
Xanadu, the hotel that pampers you and lifts your spirits

The hotel was beautiful and features spacious areas, extending from the reception to the lobby. Naturally, the very large swimming pool was a fantastic plus. We stayed in the Dune area with a garden view; our group of eight was split across four rooms. A shuttle bus provided quick transport to the beach throughout the day—even late at night—with the ride taking no more than five minutes. The beach was spacious, though it got quite lively after 9:00 AM. The seawater was clean; between 7:00 and 9:00 AM, when there were few other guests around, we could spot schools of fish, and even a stingray, a pufferfish, and a stargazer on the seabed. The food was excellent and varied. If you wish to book a table at the à la carte restaurants, you need to do so in advance or, at the latest, on the day of your arrival. We had a truly wonderful experience at the French restaurant, though the Oriental restaurant serving Lebanese cuisine (Agora—actually an open-air terrace) and the seafood restaurant (Ariel) were also great. The staff were helpful and very attentive. A standout staff member was the person in charge of the children's pool and the surrounding area near the main pool bar (where snacks were served from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM). We had excellent interactions with the Guest Relations team and also indulged in some lovely spa treatments—such as facial and body refreshers, pedicures, and manicures—at negotiated prices. We experienced no noise issues in any of the rooms; everything was always well-prepared, and we even had a TV channel in our native language.

Amazing stay

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained throughout our stay. The food was excellent, with a great variety of delicious options every day. The pools, beach, and all hotel facilities were spotless and beautifully maintained.

The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for a family vacation. We truly enjoyed every moment and felt well taken care of. Thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so special.

We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely love to come back!

XANADU MAkADI BAY

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stayed at Xanadu Makadi Bay for a few days and honestly had a great time.

The resort is very clean, well maintained, and the staff were always friendly. Everyone we dealt with had a smile and was happy to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

The best part for me was the food. I had dinner at La Cascade French Restaurant and ordered the Beef Tenderloin after Ahmed Abdallah recommended it. It was honestly one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time. Thanks to Chef Ali Hegazy for such a great meal. I also tried the Indian restaurant on another night, and it was really good too.

The only thing I think needs some improvement is the shuttle bus. The resort is huge, so everyone depends on it. Around dinner time and in the evening, we sometimes waited quite a while, and a couple of times the bus arrived full, so we had to wait for the next one.

I also had a problem with my luggage during check-out because of a misunderstanding with one of the luggage staff. I spoke to the Guest Relations team, and they handled the situation professionally and solved it, which I appreciated.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks to everyone who made our holiday special. We’d definitely come back again.
