👳🏾♂️ Salem’s Take: Adrenaline Overload
If you have teenagers, this is the holy grail.
It is attached to Makadi Water World, which is arguably the best aqua park in Egypt. It’s huge, efficient, and chaotic in a fun way. You come here to scream on a slide, not to meditate. The hotel itself is surprisingly chic (very Mediterranean style), but let's be honest: you are here for the loop-the-loop slide.
Why Families Book It
Makadi Water World
Access is included. There are pirate ships for toddlers and terrifying drop-slides for brave dads. It’s world-class.
Family Rooms
The rooms are designed for groups. Smart layouts mean you aren’t tripping over each other's suitcases.
The Courtyard
The main dining area feels like a piazza. There are distinct stations, so you don't feel like you're in a school canteen.
Detailed Assessment
✅ The Good Stuff
- Service: Jaz Group runs a tight ship. The staff are fast, the place is spotless, and everything works.
- Space: The pools at the hotel itself (away from the water park) are massive. You never feel cramped.
- Gym: Surprisingly well-equipped rooftop gym, if you still have energy after the slides.
⚠️ The Trade-off
- The Beach: It is NOT on the beach. It is set back in the desert. There is a very frequent shuttle bus (take 5-10 mins) to the Jaz Makadi beach nearby. It works fine, but it’s not "wake up and see the sea".
From Airport to Water Park
Getting a taxi with 4 kids and 6 suitcases is a nightmare. Don't risk it.
Book a family van. The driver will help with the luggage Tetris.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Is the water park safe?
Yes. German inspection standards (literally, TUV certified). Lifeguards are strict. Follow their rules and you'll be fine.
Is it loud?
During the day? Yes. It's full of happy, screaming kids. At night, the rooms are well soundproofed.
Can I walk to the beach?
You *could*, but it's a long hot walk through the golf course. Just take the shuttle bus. It runs constantly.

The Family Suites (two separate sleeping areas) sell out first.
