We had a lovely time at Prima life, and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about going to Makadi bay.
The snorkelling from the beach is fantastic with corals and fish of all shapes, sizes and colours. I swam with a turtle and saw both a ray and octopus as well as many many tropical fish.
The staff are all friendly and helpful, the cleaning and grounds staff are constantly busy keeping the resort looking in tip top condition.
The rooms are well designed and although fixtures and fittings aren't all fitted to 5* standard, they're all fully functional and clean.
Many of the bar staff were very friendly and chatty, loving the apparent rarity of our being English. It would seem English is the first foreign language they are taught in school, so many who leave young do not have chance to learn any other foreign languages. The hotel doesn't seem to see that many Brits, with a wide variety of European visiting, so they were happy to have English speaking guests to talk to. We actually met more Americans than Brits there!
The only slight gripe was the constant upselling ie. We're all inclusive but an extra few euro if you want this or that, and touts for trips, spa trea**ent etc were circulating the resort most of the day selling all manner of trips and experiences for greatly inflated prices (all so much less direct through 'get you guide'). Though they were very friendly and happy to back off when they'd established you weren't interested, it was tiresome at times.
