My husband and I have just returned from a week at the Fort Arabesque This hotel is in a lovely setting, has the nicest bit of beach in Makadi Bay, the sunbeds arent all squashed in like other hotels in the Bay Admittedly the hotel could do with a lick of paint and some finishing touches here and there In...

I don't know where the bad reviews are coming from for this hotel, as I can't think of any negatives at all. We are a young couple in our early 20s and we loved it here; it felt like home to us. The hotel itself is just the right size, not too big like some resorts we have stayed at.... More

When I first arrived here it looked really nice. It's gorgeous inside and very clean. The rooms were very spacious, very clean and the pool was quite good how it winds round. The actual hotel itself was fine. The food wasn't great at all, I've been to all inclusive places before and I know it can be a bit repetitive... More

Well, this will be our third trip to Fort Arabesque. First time round was with another family back in July 2009 then just the four of us Christmas 2010. We are not going until Christmas but really looking forward. My two daughters absolutely love it. Warm, friendly, relaxing. What more could you want? More

Just arrived back after our first visit to this hotel & were very pleased with the accommodation. Our room had 2 large kingsize beds plus a settee & pouffe. The large TV showed a number of English speaking channels, although you can overdose on BBC World News & CNN. The rooms were well serviced & cleaned by very attentive &... More

Booked this place because we wanted to try the diving in the area. We also got a good deal over the Easter hols 2011. At the time there was still heavy discounting coz of the troubles. The hotel is big but takes full advantage of having the best position in the bay. I went jogging regularly along the promenade (out... More

Recently back – we had a lovely 2 weeks at the Fort. Did not go with Saga (although we are of that age) but we were located in their ‘wing’ in one of the Suites which is very large and comfortable. My only niggle was that the balcony faced the other building and hence lost any sun from about 1100... More

Unfortunately we could only stay for a week, unlike many of the guests in the Saga block who stay for four weeks at this time of the year, year after year which I think speaks for itself. Rooms & facilities were very clean. Staff generally good but we felt at times in the restaurant that we had become invisible when... More

Having traveled to the Maldives for the snorkeling, we found the coral and fish at this hotel's beach just as good. Half the distance to travel and no where near as expensive. Rooms were very comfortable, staff friendly and helpful and the food selection was excellent. We went on the star gazing and Arabian nights trips and had a brilliant... More
