Malikia is the place to be if you wish to enjoy the sea and the beautiful creatures living there. I am a marine biologist travelling with my huaband and three kids and I loved staying at Malikia. The hotel is welcoming since the very beginning with a big lounge with comfy couches and flavoured water always available for the guests in real glasses, no plastic!! The hotel is following a green policy with recycling jars, very appealing in their look, placed all ever the hotel, even on the beach. It is easy to move around because it is not huge and this make a big difference when wanting to enjoy every corner even in the hottest of days. Swimming pools are very nice and never too crowded. Slides are a plus and the water slides for kids are very funny and entertaining. Gardens are kept perfectly and the bushes trimmed in lovely shapes and also smile at you. Snorkelling from the beach is super easy nevertheless the reef is very nice and extremely rich in fish. I could swim with turtles, being careful not to stress or disturb them, every day. For family not interested in snorkelling and with young kids, the beach is sandy and perfect for leisuring time on the sand. The staff is lovely, nice and polite and always ready to help. Food is even too abundant and the variety for me and my family was great. Special thanks to Mister Amr and mister Sherif for their kindness, and to the new Italian director for coming to talk to us on our last day and inquiring about our stay wishing to work for any needed improvement.

Will not let the boat from the diving center starting from the beach or reaching the beach.

The hotel left an exceptionally positive impression, as did the reef. Our trip began with us forgetting our phone in the taxi, and we want to point out that the hotel manager Sherif noticed that something was wrong just by looking at us—even before we said anything. He asked what had happened and quickly helped to solve this issue. In our experience, such attentiveness is rare. The reef near the hotel is excellent, starting with a convenient pier and continuing with a rich variety of live corals and marine life. There are plenty of turtles, which are very easy to meet. The hotel itself also left a pleasant impression. As a welcome gesture, we received a free room upgrade upon arrival. The restaurants offered excellent food, the room was clean, the internet was good (especially by Egyptian standards), and the bed was comfortable. We honestly can’t think of anything that would have spoiled the experience.

It wasn't the first time I visited Malikia, but it wasn't the last either. I love this hotel. Great and kind staff, delicious, varied food. The garden is beautiful and has a free beach for the unforgettable and impressive Abu Dabbab beach. Here, the coral world is magnificent, you can always meet a turtle in the middle of the bay. I recommend this hotel to everyone. Flexible check-in, 14 hour is not mandatory and you can still enjoy the beach freely even after check-out, they don't send you away, and we were even able to use the beach sheets until the evening without any restrictions, giving the guest complete confidence. A wonderful place with absolutely kind and helpful staff. 5 stars on every level.

Only one thing....we can't spend more time here.

This hotel exceeded my expectations. We received a very warm welcome at check in, and the gave a fantastic and very clean room. The entire hotel is spotless, everyone is working hard to keep it clean and great. Food is ok, many option for everyone, you can always find something I’ll like. I would personally improve bread and sweet pastries but everything else is really good. Location is simply great, you can swim with turtles (we saw them 3 times) and, if you’re lucky, with dugong. Beach boys are not too pushy as in other places (big plus!). But what makes Malikia really great is his staff! From reception to bar, from restaurants to pool and beach attendants, everyone is very professional, helpful and always providing a great service. Really, I can’t stress enough how much Malikia professional staff made our vacation perfect. And last but not least, thank you Sandokan for your great pictures :) Me and my daughter felt really in love for this place and hope to see you again soon! Thank you Malikia Martina and Gaia

Firstly, the food was fabulous - freshly cooked, very tasty and excellent variety from one day to the next. Everything else - the room; the staff etc were fantastic as well. I tipped as I wanted to and never felt like I had to like some places make you feel. Reception (Mohamed, Rahim, Sherif) were very helpful and friendly for general information and booking taxis; storing luggage etc. It was December/January so the pool was cold but who wants a pool when the beach is so nice? Three extremely nice reefs to snorkel for free with very easy access from the beach. Also very easy for beginners. I honestly loved it!! Top tip - if you snorkel between 7am and 8am you might have the entire reef to yourself....and the turtles of course...pure magic :-)

Be aware they are currently refurbishing their rooms so if you want their one of their better rooms go for the Superior. But if you want to save a few pounds the Standard rooms are perfectly fine for most people I would say.

Everything was beautiful. The entire team was cooperative and friendly. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere at the resort was pleasant overall. The most special thing about the place was the sea. You can go snorkelling right near the first point in the water and see various types of fish, which is a wonderful experience. A tip for anyone visiting is to bring their own snorkelling gear. Thanks to everyone in the staff, especially Mr.Nagy, and thanks for the birthday cake and the small party and everything.

The end of the vacation and leaving this beautiful place.

Simply love Malikia! It’s my second time in less than a year! I travel a lot (from Brazil to Mexico, Arctic to South Africa and Mauritius, Europe to South-Eastern Asia) and it NEVER happened to me before to choose the same resort for the beach leisure 🙈 But being a freediver I find it perfectly balanced - the home reef, ability to find Dugong with a high quality Diving.DE centre, good food and well located rooms. Hi to the whole Malikia Resort team and especially general manager Nagy and hospitality manager Sheriff 🙏 It’s actually has been kind of Freediving Mecca for Russian freedivers, we stay here on our way to and from Satahya reef.

Everything was perfect , not just perfect but the best location as well, staff we're kind helpful and they were always smiling (true smile)!!! Food variant was amazing! And the beach was just a big waooooooo 😍😍

Security guard..he was racist since I'm from Hungary but my mom has Sudanese blood so that means I'll do have it in myself as well. I was with my father who is European and my girlfriend who as well, he stopped JUST me when coming in with my father and my girlfriend and not asked for.my room number he asked me where I'm from, it's like not your business which country I'm from.. That was the only bad thing happened here.

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 most rewarding aspect was the great kindness and collaboration I received from the hotel staff. Yomna was simply great and also the guys of towel handling, as well as the beach guys and the waiters were absolutely collaborative; great help by the receptionist. It is a pity I could not see dugongo ( :) ), but turtles, rays, sea eagle and guitar sharks were commonly spotted.
