JAZ Palmariva Beach

What a fabulous hotel. Went on hols with my daughter for 6 days to celebrate her birthday whilst there. Arrived just after midnight to a warm and quick welcome so that we could get to our room. Loved the new refurbished room, had everything we needed and very comfortable. Shout out to housekeeping for a sterling job, very clean rooms and smiles every day. Every member of staff we met were lovely, I'll review the animation team separately but a special mention to the bar team members Ghad, Hossam & Mohamed who looked after us so well and were very attentive and polite. A special mention for Ossama, Restaurant Manager, who went the extra step to make my daughter's birthday breakfast and restaurant visits that little bit extra special. The restaurant serving team and chef's need a big thank you also. Service is delivered across the team so difficult to mention any one person, but again all so friendly, polite and a very efficient service. We only had a couple of drinks in the hotel main bar but Ibraheim was wonderful and everyone mentioned took the time, as work allowed, to speak to us regularly. We felt very welcome, always. Lifeguard Mohamed made the sunshade a special Birthday one. I asked for help trying to ut up some surprise banners for my daughter but couldn't reach the shade, so he said "give me 20 mins and come back". We had breakfast first at a table covered in flowers, see pic and were amazed at the shade transformation when we got there, not just banners but a big sign, extra banners and tinsel. Just lovely! They also have a red tie for the sunshade to advise excursion and other sellers that you here for Relax and Rest, so they don't come to you, this was brilliant. I do have to say though that if you don't want to accept any trips or treatments, a polite no is accepted straight away. The location is great to, we only went off the resort just twice for diving, Piano Diving is about a 15 minute walk along the beach, and for Safari Quad biking, about an 8 minute walk down the beach. We did go snorkelling as the beach is in a bay and the water is so clear. You can get sunbed towels and cold water bottles from hydration stations on the beach, this is brilliant as I'd never seen it before The pool layout needs a mention to. It's large for swimmers but has several shallow, outer island areas for younger pool visitors, it's very well thought out. This also allows lots of sunbed options for those prefering full sun to more shady areas. We had no problem with noise at any time and joined in the animation team activities. The evening had entertainment for about 30 mins at 9pm, then the lovely spacious terrace provided space to relax and chill in the evening. At 10.30pm, the animation team would gather us to go to the Coc Loco Club on the beach, about a 6 min walk but very safe, and here we danced and sang and had great fun until around 12.30/1am. This is not part of the all inclusive drinks package but that didn't mat

It’s a very beautiful hotel,the people that work here are very nice . The food also it’s so good,the rooms are always clean ,very nice job!

Well the hotel is nice but it has to be renovated cuz it's an old hotel otherwise we had a such a good time in it and we wish next time to be better

It’s been great time in this hotel we had a lot of fun and enjoyed our time the animation team was funny and active and the service was helpful and the rooms was so clean

Just want to say thank you so much to all the staff at Makadi Bay, they honestly are so kind and attentive it’s unreal, I want to put out a massive shoutout to mohammed our cleaner, everyday he had a smile and welcomed us aswell as doing an outstanding job of cleaning our room daily My only issue is stay away from the perfume shop down by the ampitheatre as you wont get left alone as soon as you enter the shop, i had to drag my other half out as the guy just would not take no for an answer but apart from that it was an incredible holiday One more thing please make sure you book your excursions before you arrive as otherwise you will most certainly be overcharged massively

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, nice food. Definitely come here again. The strip at the beach is lovely in the evening and the restaurants are amazing. The weather here in Oct is 31 degrees hot, so definitely recommend some winter sun. BEBO is very friendly and helpful and smiley. He helped with any information we needed.
