This was one of vacations to remember and I really plan to go back. Starting with the hotel decor and style to the professional staff, amazing beach and spacious rooms. The hotel is painted in pastel colors giving this feeling of serenity. The rooms are super big with nice chandeliers and big beds and a nice sitting area. We were in a triple room and I didn’t need an extra bed as the beds were bigger than expected. I booked an economy room and I was told that it doesn’t overlook anything special neither the sea nor the pool but actually it was great because it was midway between the pool and the beach so I would say that it was located perfectly where I needed. Speaking about the beach, there are corals in the sea part of the hotel so bring your snorkels on and don’t miss the opportunity. You don’t need to take a boat to enjoy the experience it is few footsteps away in the sea. There are two bars by the beach : one of which serves light lunch options so you can spend the day by the sea easily. Don’t miss their ice cream and ice coffee.
The food in general is very nice specially the dinner in the main restaurant. There were 3 a la carte restaurants but we haven’t tried any as the main was great. Don’t miss the baladí bread that get baked right in front of you!
I haven’t been to the pool as I am a sea person but there are two pools; a big and a smaller one and there is a water slides part that opens at specific hours.
The staff are friendly and professional , we had among our group my niece who has food allergies and when we asked the reception about possible food option. Mr Ashraf at the reception called in Cheif Samy who came to us to understand the case and was following us daily, meal by meal to ensure that there are reasonable options for her to eat. Both staff member went the extra mile to ensure that the guests are satisfied. The housekeeping are doing their best and when I checked in my room the tea and coffee electric kettle was not clean from the bottom and after calling the housekeeping a brand new one was brought with its box to my room. The housekeeping despite the very many requests I have were v responsive, we had Taha in our floor who was really a star. The rooms get cleaned day after day but when it’s your day give the house keeping a buzz to remind them to clean the room.

This was a trip with our extended family, we were 16 in total with wide range of ages and expectations and I have to say that we were all satisfied and we enjoyed the visit so much. A huge thanks for the staff and hotel management for making our family trip one to remember

Prima Life is a very good solution if you want to enjoy Makadi Bay sea and spend a fair amount.
Pros:
Great beach and sea; It's really enjoyable having small coral reefs for snorkeling, but still sandy beach with no needs of wearing sea shoes.
Nice animation team who is trying their best to keep guests involved. For singles/group of friends they often arrange for extra charge party nights in main discos in Sahl Hasheesh area. Good way to socialize with other young people.
Staff in general is very nice.
Good massages at Spa; I had some back problems and they fixed it super fast.
Commons areas very nice with a lot of green and a huge pool (never tried it though...with such a sea!)
Cons:
Rooms are a bit old, they definitely need some renovation (shower tap was falling apart, water regulation was pretty tricky...sometimes there was no cold water at all).
Food could be more variable, very poor choice of fish and seafood. Meat selection pretty the same every day.
In the main restaurant A/C was not working. Still ok in April, but a couple of days was too hot. I hope during summer it is working properly.

In conclusion good price-quality ratio. Recommended if your main goal is to enjoy the sea, relax and eventually take part to animation activities.

Overall the hotel is alright. The rooms are clean and the beds are okay (maybe invest in new bed sheets since they felt a little bit old).

The beach is alright, but the people trying to sell stuff are annoying. Also the animation team does not take a no. They were doing the same thing every single day twice a day and wouldn't leave us alone, even if we said no. We actually just wanted to relax on the beach without being bothered every hour. They should just accept a no, because they acted very unprofessional.

The taste of the food was alright, but it was the same thing every day and not a lot of choice. I understand the Corona situation but at least change it up a little bit (for example just changing the pasta sauce would do a lot). Some people at the bar were really creepy and we did not feel comfortable. We could feel them starring at us all the time.

Wifi is only free in the lobby but you can buy wifi for the room. That would not be a problem if it would work. We had to go to the reception at least one say everyday because it wasn't working. That is simply not acceptable for me if I have to pay for it.

Oh and be careful if you see a price online. We booked a rate where it said all taxes and everything is included. When we checked-in we had to pay over 100 euros (!!!!!) extra for some kind of taxes. They should mention that online because this is not fair for the customer.

Overall, its alright, but I will never book again. I rather spend a little more money but stay at a place where I feel completely comfortable and where I can relax without being bothered.

Prima Life Makadi bay Resort spa was just fabulous, the pool, sea, animation team, all staff especially, Romany hotel reception manager staff was exceptional, great asset aswell as, Abu alkheir, Ahmed in reception, Ashraf, Khaled night hotel manager went out of way to make it rememberable. Mohamed night time cleaning staff was amazing went on his fours 2am to to scrub my big room clean for more than hour it took as they are amazing large size rooms connected the one I had, bar attendant was exceptional too always did extra to help, Mahmoud was amazing, Ahmed limo hire services driver was excellent, good driver, very trust worthy as he went and got our PCR results we have him our passports copies to be able to obtain certificates. Gamal our room cleaner day time when he was exceptional too very hard working most of all very trustworthy May God bless him we had laptops, tablets, few times left money and phones in room along with other personal items were always felt secure with his honesty. Most favourite of all due to whom I felt excellent pain free due to her medical massage as the best, I have always booked massage every day when I go on any holiday as I suffer with adhesions pain so I need special massage and on explaining to her
once my problem and how my massage has to be Hasnaa in SPA she was beyond exceptional very very very hard working she gave her full heart to make me better and when I left on last day I was relaxed from Adhesions pains. Hasnaa made my holiday worth the while definitely and will definitely be going back again. This hotel staff were like seeing and spending time with family made it rememarable. Amazing memories, views, excellent food was brilliant and restaurant staff so efficient, organised, supportive, very friendly customer services just amazing. Perfect location of hotel.

The stay in Prima Life was a complete disappointment, starting with the way the hotel actually looks: the lobby and the rooms. The New Years Eve Party was like a village-weeding organized back in the 90s. We didn't know whether to laugh or to cry! Also, wifi is available free of charge only in the lobby. For wifi in the rooms you need to pay 15 dollars :)))) This is unacceptable for a 5 star hotel, as they claim they are. The worst, however, was the very bad and poor quality of the food and drinks. We couldn't drink any alcohol, as it was really really really bad, i guess they had the cheapest options. The beer and wine also, deplorably. We drank just water. After the NYE party, we were served the remained sweets for 4 days in a raw. We just couldn't believe we paid a lot of money for such poor overall quality. Never coming back!

Very nice hotel. The sea was perfect. We really enjoyed diving. The beach was clean and they have trash baskets everywhere which helps to keep guests' trash in the baskets:) The food is very tasty. Everyone can find something for themselves for the dinner. Thanks for the animation team for making our vacation so fun. We had a lot of activities, dancing and so on. Music in the hotel is very nice. It is good that DJ mixed the popular music with the local one. Thanks to Ibrahim, Kiro, Moody and Bnzema! You are our team of fun.

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, the staff was amazing, and the food was delicious. The beach has so few rocks that you can easily manage going in and out without any trouble. The animation team were super friendly and filled our day with entertaining activities. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable, all while maintaining the covid-19 precautions to ensure our safety within our stay. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone going to Hurghada.

I stayed at this hotel for just 1 night in December. My first impression upon entering the lobby of the hotel was that it was quite unattractive and tired looking. There was also a subtle, yet pungent, odour that wafted throughout the lobby, making it feel as if I had just walked into a fast-food restaurant and not a resort. Despite this I was greeted by very friendly, warm and welcoming staff which put me at ease instantly. My room was actually quite nice, very clean and big. The hotel's private beach, though, was disappointing, it was a lot of rocky bits of sand. However, you are able to walk along other parts of the beautiful Makadi bay beach and pass by other resorts. So if you like to run or just enjoy an early morning walk you will be able to walk for at least 1 km uninterrupted. If you are looking for a romantic resort then I suggest you look at other hotels in the area. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay and for the money I think it is great value.

I'm writing this to thank every single person in the hotel.
Starting with Mr.Assem who was exceptionally helpful, he told us all the needed information and guided us through the rooms so we can choose the room the fit us the best. Not only, but also he kept checking on us every now and then to make sure we don't need anything. He also upgraded our room when he figured out I live views 🥰

Thank you Mr.Amr for changing the room immediately when we needed to do so 😍

The house keeping guys are amazing, they never passed any request we asked.

MR.Samy the chef manager, he is a very nice person, he keeps on moving between the tables to make sure everyone is satisfied and that the food is good. All the catering guys are amazing.

The pool is always clean, the room is spacious and clean too.

They brought us a cake and fruits in the room and this was so nice of them♥️

I love the idea that the bars are open 24/7

The beach is amazing, it's a sandy beach, yet, you can still do some snorkeling in it.

Thank you Prima life staff ♥️
It was an exceptional stay.
I will definitely repeat it again 😍😍
