We stayed here for 3 nights before we started our tour of Luxor/Cairo, this was our first time in Egypt and we had heard very mixed things about what to expect from the country. The Star and Spar is located on Makadi bay, and is in a gated area along with other hotels which are part of the same chain. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was a little outdated and could do with a refresh however it was pleasant enough for our short stay. There is a great selection of food and drinks available and we found it all to be of a high standard and very tasty. There is also a bar at the beach and the staff will bring food and drinks over to you which is a nice touch. The staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough for you. It was my partners birthday while we were there, and they arranged for a cake to be brought out after our meal at Makai Tukai, which is in the Saraya hotel across the road. Special mention to Marco the barman who was especially attentive. As others have mentioned you do have to walk to the beach, but we didn’t find this troublesome as it’s not too far and the path meanders through a few of the other hotels owned by the same chain. The beach is divided into sections so each hotel has its own area of the beach with sun loungers available. There was also snorkel equipment that was free to use if you haven’t brought your own. It’s definitely worth snorkelling as the sea is very clear and there are quite a few different fish species to see. Overall we really enjoyed our time at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Hurghada.
