Jaz Makadi Oasis Resort & Club

I initially booked to go to Lanzarote with Thomas Cook - after their demise, I thought, with some trepidation, I’d give Egypt a try, as I found the weather unpredictable at this time of year in Lanzarote on a previous occasion. I’m so glad I did. I’d originally booked for another hotel, but TUI changed our hotel at the last minute - again, some trepidation from me, but the hotel and resort were perfect. The hotel is spotless & the staff so attentive & friendly - especially in the restaurant - the head waiter remembered our names from the first day. The room was lovely - our 10 year old son had a great little annexe. We had great towel art, too. The food selection was immense & drinks brought frequently. First day there we went to walk to the beach - got sold a facial, a boat trip & a camel ride - all well worth it, though. The shops managed to sell us several things we didn’t know we wanted or needed, too 😂 We went on a jeep safari - excellent value for money. We also went on a glass bottom boat trip - the coral has to be seen to be believed. The water park was a quick bus ride away and our son loved it. He and his dad also loved the games room - & I could keep topped up with G&T from the disco next door. I don’t like to return to the same place too frequently as the world’s a big place, but I’d definitely come back here - either to the same resort, or another Jaz Egyptian hotel - two of my son’s missed out this time - one was skiing in Austria with school, one at uni - I know they’d have loved it as much as we did.

We have just returned from the jaz makadi oasis resort, after spending 2 weeks there. There are not enough words to explain just how special this place is. From reception to housekeeping, the pool team to the animation team, the bar staff to the waiters,,,, everyone who works at this hotel goes above and beyond what we expect when take our holidays. The food is varied and we never once had anything to complain about. The food was simpl brilliant. We had such an amazing holiday,,, and enjoyed some wonderful excursions.. all of which we really enjoyed with all guides making us feel special... Even the local shops outside the hotel are excellent.. there is 1 shopkeeper called Mark who has a shop outside the hotel,,, if you go to the oasis he will give you honest and good service Whilst all the hotel staff are brilliant, special thanks and praise must go to both restaurant managers Eid, and Mohammed. I've never in my life met such kind, warm, and genuinely friendly people. But as I say everyone who works at this hotel deserves alot of praise and credit... Our main barmen, Moaz and Ashraf Our pool and bar waiters Houssam, and Ahmed And the wonderful emad, and sallah Thank You all so so so Very very much for Making our holiday, one we will never forget See you all next year. Lots of love,,, Rob, Bridie, Brooke, and Lily
