Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews

Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels

Guests seeking world-class service and excellent cleanliness on a private Red Sea beach will find this resort highly rewarding. Guests rate it superbly on Booking.com and Google, and it showcases four year-round outdoor swimming pools and inclusive menus for diverse dietary requirements. Guests must accept a significant distance from Hurghada city centre, a vast resort size, and increased activity during the peak season.

Situated on the shores of Makadi Bay, Xanadu offers a self-contained resort experience centered around beachfront living and architectural scale. The property is particularly well-suited for families and travelers who prioritize on-site amenities and comprehensive dietary accommodations.

Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 9 hotels we list in Hurghada is 9.2.

“02.07.2026-09.07.2026 Our first trip to Egypt was an amazing experience, and Xanadu Makadi Bay exceeded all our expectations. The resort is beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We especially loved the spacious room with a sea view, the delicious and varied food, and the excellent à la carte restaurants. The beach was clean with plenty of sunbeds, and the sea offered great snorkeling with colorful fish, rays, and other marine life. The resort also has great facilities for families, including pools, an aquapark, and a kids' club. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return, but for longer period. I highly recommend Xanadu Makadi Bay to families, couples, and anyone looking for a high-quality Ultra All Inclusive resort in Egypt.”

Our room was always prepared very cleanly and neatly, and the beautiful decorations he arranged made our stay even more special and enjoyable. He is very kind, helpful, and truly attentive to his work. We were also very pleased with our overall stay at the hotel. The cleanliness, atmosphere, and service quality were excellent, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. The quality of the food and drinks was very good, with a wide variety of options suitable for different tastes. It was also a big plus that food and drinks were easily accessible throughout the day. Overall, this is a hotel we can gladly recommend thanks to its service quality, hospitality, and pleasant atmosphere.”

“We are currently enjoying our vacation here, and everything has been wonderful. The staff are attentive and welcoming at all times and in every area. We have made use of almost all your services—especially the massage treatments. I booked a three-day massage package at Saya Spa, and the skilled hands of Asma and Shayma left us feeling incredibly relaxed and satisfied. We will definitely be back; We love you all!

“Today we returned home from our holiday at Xanadu Makadi Bay, and we would like to sincerely thank the entire team for a wonderful experience. Everything was excellent from the moment we arrived. We received two beautiful rooms and greatly appreciated the kindness and professionalism of the reception staff, who made us feel welcome from the very beginning. A special thank you goes to the housekeeping staff who took great care of our rooms every day. The rooms were always perfectly clean, and their attention to detail was truly appreciated. We would also like to thank all the waiters and restaurant staff. They work incredibly hard every day, always with a smile and a positive attitude, despite having so much work to do. Their service was outstanding. The sea was absolutely amazing, clean, warm, and beautiful. We truly enjoyed every moment spent on the beach and in the water. Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Manager Tatiana, who was extremely helpful when we had a problem during our stay. She immediately took care of the situation and resolved everything quickly and professionally. Her support and kindness made a big difference to us. Thank you very much to the entire Xanadu Makadi Bay team for an unforgettable holiday. We had a fantastic time and would be happy to return in the future.”
