Jaz Makadina resort in Hurghada review — food, beach, crowds?

One guest notes the sea allows swimming fairly far out — he swam about 500 meters daily, towing his wife who is a weak swimmer.

A guest says food quantity isn't a big concern for them, but highlights the grill station as the key food highlight.

The beach pontoon has been widened and soft sunbeds with umbrellas added right by the sea — a notable upgrade from previous seasons. Water can be clear but marine life is sparse.

Buildings 6 and 7 are considered less desirable locations. The lobby bar is open 24/7, and there's a snack bar serving burgers, hot dogs, and pastries. Food options are generally sufficient.

In early June the resort is nearly fully booked. During the day the crowd disperses across excursions, the beach, pool, and waterpark, so it doesn't feel overly congested.

Jaz Makadina falls short of some nearby resorts for snorkeling and marine life, but stands out for service quality, location, and food. May visits can feel cool for swimming.
