Malikia Resort Abu Dabbab ★★★★★

Best thing here is beautiful beach with very good snorkeling and diving in Abu Dabbab. Hotel is nice with nice pools.

Water is not free in allinclusive!?

We stayed here for two days. The beach is great for snorkeling, we even saw turtles. Beautiful corals and underwater life. The place where the food was served was noisy, full of tourists and very hectic, people running for food. Also, at eight in the morning, the beds by the beach are occupied by towels and there are no people anywhere. The staff was nice. Rooms with older furniture, but ok. If I were to come back here, it would be because of the beach

Lot of tourist, crowded

اall stuff are mazing and location in AbuDabab

Nothing

The facilities are nice

Buffet timings were inconvenient and no other food is available once we miss the time. Sometimes we miss the time due to diving.

staff is very friendly in all places of the hotel. special thanks to Hassan cleaning our room, the guys at the Mamut ice cream, the people of the Spa. the location is excellent (we came for diving) and so are the facilities for kids (we don’t have them - but I can see the attractiveness due the the swimming pool, gliders, etc). I read the hotel is a bit older - this is true but it doesn’t hurt the quality of the stay, considering the price range you’re in.

the main reason for us to not give a high score is the food. this is written from a European 5 star baseline offcourse. But if I compare to South Asia, Cape Verde, the Caribbean I would still state it should be able to improve on this. All juices are very watery (ratio water vs juice sirop is too high). This ruins all and any included cocktail you would take. We moved to water or soft drinks after the first round of alcohol. Breakfast I would label ok, you have a high amount of options - but the fact you have to pay for a fresh juice - but not for orange fruit itself we didn’t like. It feels like an unlogical upsell to charge for the healthy alternative to sirops. lunch - I think it’s ok if you have kids considering it’s all fast food a like. however I would have preferred a broader set of healthy options (they did offer a chicken wrap, fruit and some vegetables). I would recommend to raise the amount of tomatoes in the penne with tomato saus (again ratio water vs ingredient). on staff I have not a single negative comment dinner - we tried everything, but in general I would recommmend to avoid to bake all meats dry . some dishes I did like : the goelash (meat was juicy), steamed vegetables, the moussaka, rice. in general I miss variance in the dishes over the days - it’s a different theme, but I would state a lot of the dishes keep the same base. I think the quality suffers from the speed / bulk which can be solved with a bit more care not overcook things. Desserts I’m mixed - the limitation to pastery I find disappointing, because most of it is dry. I did taste a chocomouse cake and the mousse was good - so I would recommend to provide mousses, pudding, icecream options. I do have to add they have fruit as an option (but I lack variance with watermelon , a local mango etc) i did appreciate anything with coconut.

Nice resort . Great house reef for diving . Food pretty good ,staff very friendly

Nothing

The water slides, cleanliness, food

Need more food variety and higher luxury

The pools and poolside drinks, etc. The closeness to the Sea and the availability of the reef to snorkle, etc.

Their food was a problem, It was buffet and there was usually one thing good to eat amid the rest of the buffet. There was enough food but the quality was only passable

Everything.The reception staff helpfull,polite, friendly. The restaurant chef and everybody great, thanks for them . Food is more than enough and delicious. Our room cleaner (3027) helpfull and work well and funny. In the beach the life guards all good guy.Our rooms is comfortable with super wiew to the sea. Garden big, nice pools and playfull. From the bridge straight can go to the sea with beautifull coral life. We can use Abu Dabbab beach free and the north and south coral wall amazing. Middle of the beach turtles. So simple great the hotel, I will go back.

One thing...our vacation is finish.

The beach was nice, the staff were kind. It's nice to have sandy beach just next to the corals

The food was just on the border of acceptance, it is not the quality you desire at a hotel. Service was just on the border as well. They don't put tissues, soap, shower gel, unless you ask them to do. If you didn't ask, they will not take the step.
