The hype
Guests are obsessed with the service and food variety, often calling it the best all-inclusive in Egypt.
Rixos Sharm El Sheikh - All Inclusive
$250-350/ night
Book this if You want a high-energy, adults-only playground where the pool parties are loud, the food is endless, and you don't mind a jetty walk to swim.
Why People Love It
- "Stay at One, Enjoy at Two" policy grants full access to the massive waterpark at Rixos Premium Seagate next door
- The 147m jetty is significantly shorter than the neighbor's 850m marathon, making reef access much easier
- Seven pools means you can choose between a pounding DJ set at the Lagoon or relative peace at the Oasis
Quick Take: It’s a glitzy, all-inclusive factory of fun that nails the 'more is more' vibe but struggles with intimacy and quiet.
Reviewed by @vikulyahappiness1562613: I stayed in this spacious twin room at Rixos Sharm El Sheikh and the evening vibe was unmatched. The room itself is huge with a great bathroom, but my favorite part was definitely chilling on the balcony watching the pool lights turn on at sunset.

- You love a good foam party and don't mind loud music by the pool
- You want to snorkel on a world-class reef without a boat trip
- You are a foodie who gets bored of the same buffet every night

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the alcohol actually premium?
It's 'Ultra All-Inclusive', which includes some imported brands, but top-shelf labels often incur an extra charge. Beer is typically local (Stella/Sakara).
Can I really use the waterpark next door?
Yes, you have full free access to the Rixos Aquaventure Park at the Seagate property, including food and drinks there.
Is the wifi good enough for work?
Surprisingly yes. Reviews consistently cite strong wifi (8.8/10) throughout the resort, even at the beach.
How far is the walk to the reef?
The jetty is 147 meters long. It's a short walk compared to the 850m jetty at the sister hotel.
Is it truly adults-only?
Yes, strictly 18+. You won't find kids at the pools or restaurants here, though you will see them if you visit the Seagate property.
Do I need to tip?
Tipping is not mandatory but highly expected in Egypt. A few dollars/euros to the bar staff or housekeeping goes a very long way.
Insider Tips
- ✨
The 'Salt' seafood restaurant is widely considered the best dining spot on site—book it first.
- ✨
Cafe de Nuit is a hidden gem for late-night snacks and coffee, open until midnight.
- ✨
Ask for a 'shuttle' to the end of the jetty if you have mobility issues, though it's a short walk.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Outdoor Gym' on the beach is a wooden 'Jungle Gym' style setup—great for Instagram, harder for a serious workout.
💡The wind in Nabq Bay can be relentless; check the flag color before heading to the jetty (Red flag = no swimming).
💡You can order a golf cart to pick you up from your room via the phone, but walking is often faster during peak times.
💡The 'Silent Party' is a surreal experience where hundreds of people dance in silence with headphones—don't miss it.
💡The main buffet 'The Palm' is huge but can feel like a cafeteria at peak times; go early or late to avoid the stampede.
