The hype
Families love the endless food and activities, but couples often find it too noisy and crowded.
Rixos Bab Al Bahr - All Inclusive
$200-450/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a chaotic, high-energy family vacation where the kids disappear into the club and you disappear into a bottomless mojito.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Genuine 'Ultra All-Inclusive' that actually includes minibar beer and branded spirits
- Rixy Kids Club is a legitimate fortress of entertainment that parents swear by
- Adults-only infinity pool offers a necessary sanctuary from the splash zones
Kurzfassung: It’s a loud, massive, fun factory that feels more like a cruise ship on sand than a tranquil desert escape.
Bewertet von @raktimes: I took the family here for a weekend escape and it was exactly what we needed. The kids went wild for the water slides, and I loved that our suite had separate rooms so we didn't have to whisper after bedtime. The all-inclusive food was endless!
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The rooms are showing their age (chipped paint, dated furniture) unless you book the specific renovated categories.
- You have energetic kids aged 4-12 who need constant entertainment
- You drink enough alcohol to make the all-inclusive rate a mathematical victory
- You prefer a lively resort atmosphere over silence and seclusion
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally efficient, though they sometimes miss sand on the balcony.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated; grout lines show age in older rooms, but no major mold horrors reported.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point—expect scuffed furniture, peeling paint on exteriors, and occasional AC drips.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; beach towels can be a bit worn/thin from heavy rotation.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers; rooms can smell slightly musty/humid due to the sea air.

Is there an adults-only area?

Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'Toast 'n Burger' joint is open 24/7 and is the best spot for a late-night post-party snack.
- ✨
Skip the main buffet for breakfast and try the Turkish restaurant 'Lalezar' if it's open for morning service (often quieter).
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes down the beach to 'Super Breeze Bar' for a change of scenery and a licensed pub vibe outside the hotel.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'sea view' might just be a view of the man-made lagoon channel, not the open horizon.
💡The air conditioning in the hallways can be freezing while the rooms struggle with humidity.
💡You might smell a faint industrial odor outdoors depending on the wind direction (nearby plants).
💡The 'Ultra' all-inclusive wristband is cut off exactly at check-out time (12 PM), unlike some resorts that let you linger.
💡Flies can be an annoyance at the outdoor dining areas during certain seasons—sit inside if it bugs you.
