Our full take on JAZ Aquaviva

JAZ Aquaviva is a family all-inclusive at Makadi Bay, for families whose week is a water park rather than a beach. It is about 30 minutes from Hurghada's airport, with 487 rooms, eight pools that are partly heated in winter, and included access to Makadi Water World next door. The private sandy beach is three kilometres away at a sister hotel and reached by a free shuttle, so this is not a resort you walk from the room to the sea.

Guests praise Makadi Water World and the slides, the kids' club and the family entertainment, and the staff and the animation team. The complaints are that shuttle to the beach, and a la carte dining limited to one complimentary dinner in a whole stay. The thing worth knowing is that the single dinner needs booking 48 hours ahead, so the buffet and the dine-around carry the rest of the week.

The plan covers the Amaraya main restaurant and the Madinat Makadi dine-around, with that one a la carte dinner per stay by reservation, local beer, Egyptian wine and local spirits by the glass, limited-speed Wi-Fi, daily bottled water with a tea and coffee set, and the Jazy Kids Club for ages four to twelve alongside the water park; imported alcohol and special cocktails, the spa, the water sports and the airport transfer are extra. Book that dinner on arrival day. The Family Room and the Family Suite are the categories built for the audience. Anyone who wants the sea outside the door should book the sister hotel on the beach instead.
