Hey, Rob Holiday Expert here 👋 I’ve stayed in, reviewed or properly snooped around 200+ hotels over the years… so when I say these three are worth your attention, I mean it.
📍 Rixos Radamis Sharm El Sheikh
As if Rixos needed to go any bigger… they’ve only gone and dropped Aquamania Jungle Park. And I don’t say this lightly - it’s outrageous. We’re talking the size of five football pitches, packed with everything from proper high-speed, scream-on-the-way-down slides to calmer splash zones for the little legends. It’s one of those places where you think you’re booking a hotel… but really, you’re booking a full-blown theme park holiday with sunbeds.
📍 Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View
This one’s effortless. The Mykonos restaurant alone is worth the trip - beachfront, Mediterranean plates, fresh seafood, and that golden-hour glow that makes you forget what day it is. I’d time dinner purely for sunset here… it’s one of those “this is why I booked this holiday” moments. And a little insider tip: staying here quietly unlocks access to Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas too… which feels like you’ve just upgraded your holiday without lifting a finger 🤫
📍 Swissotel Sharm El Sheikh
Now this is the hidden gem. It’s got that slick, modern Swissotel finish (so everything just feels done properly), but still delivers on the bits that matter on holiday - big pools, easy beach access, and food that doesn’t feel like an afterthought by day three. What I rate most? It’s calm. Like, properly switch-off calm. The kind of place where you wake up, wander down for breakfast, and suddenly it’s 4pm and you’ve done absolutely nothing… in the best possible way.
If you’re the type who wants options - slides one day, seafood and sunsets the next, and a bit of peace when you need it - this trio covers all bases.
