Overall a very nice hotel. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. We love Egypt and its people because they are the best hosts out there. You can tell the hotel is not the newest in the area, but they are doing their best to keep it nice and clean. Our room was sort of nice, but we do have reservations about the bathroom, especially the bathtub combined with wall mounted shower - it's very incovenient to use. A classic removable shower head or maybe just a bit more of water pressure would be better. The food in the restaurant was tasty, but could definitely use more variety. A big big plus of this hotel is its beautiful beach and coral reefs there. Once again we must pin out the friendliness of all the staff at this hotel. A special thanks and greetings to Mr. Mahmoud at the beach ice cream stand. He's a sunshine and our son will surely never forget him (he still talks about how he's missing him). The icecream he sells is very good and he has many flavours to choose from.

Just back from 2 weeks at Malikia resort, after 20 years of visiting Egypt this has to be the best. The snorkelling is amazing with an abundance of turtles and even saw a dugong. There are too many people to name as they were all amazing from Ali (rm 5021) who made amazing things with towels every day in our room, Youseff the lifeguard on the beach, Nour and all of the animation team who were wonderful to all of the waiters Especially Mahmoud who once he saw us coming to lunch would have our drinks ready on the table. Shariff who was always there if you had a query and so helpful. Place is spotless and food was lovely and plenty of choice if you are vegetarian. I hope the owners realise what good staff they have working for them. Only downside was no free WiFi you have to pay by day or €26 a week, but apparently this will change soon according to Shariff. Work going on on a new beach restaurant but didn’t interfere with holiday at all, will definitely be going back.

We were booked into the Malikia Resort for 7 days while my partner recovered from an operation (we had previously stayed 14 nights at Elphistone Resort, but had to take my partner to hospital on the day we were due to go home, and after 4 days in the hospital, we were moved to Malikia while we waited for new flights home). The Malikia is a fantastic hotel, with the best snorkelling - even better than Makadi Bay and Elphistone. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel is very clean, and the food is amazing - lots of choice, always hot, and a special mention to the pastry chef Shazly who makes the most wonderful desserts. We will definitely be going back to the Malikia later in the year.
