Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas

We had a lovely stay here as a family. Big shoutout to Maher from housekeeping who kept our room (Block 54) clean he always done a fantastic job and was so friendly!

Teppanyaki experience was made extra special by the chef. Great fun and well worth the money. A big thanks to Ahmed

We had a 10 night stay as a family of 4 (3 year old and 7 month okd). The resort is HUGE with lots of choice for pools and we loved the beach areas. Our room was okay, in the older section and was big but a bit dated and we only had 1 bedside table. Most of the staff were fantastic and our housekeeper Ahmed was excellent. However some staff members rude and very pushy in writing 5 star Tripadvisor reviews on the spot, they even clicked ‘5 star’ on my phone themselves! We had a bad experience trying to book a boat trip, a price was agreed with a staff member and then when my husband went with him to pay and reserve the price we had agreed couldn’t be honoured. Complete waste of our time. The food was not good. Very under par for a 5 star resort and worst of all we all got terrible food poisoning. We were very careful to avoid tap water, salads etc but we all ate calamari from the Italian restaurant and the next morning it started. My 3 year old ended up getting an injection to stop her from vomiting from the hotel doctor. Not a pleasant experience! I was also overcharged by €80 by the spa, the final bill was very confusing as all in different currencies. I didn’t get chance to work out properly as there was a wait to check out and our transfer was waiting. When I got home I went through it all and emailed the hotel to state the mistake, they got back to me and said I’d been charged for 3 treatments and in fact I’d had 2 completely different ones. I’m still waiting on a response and a refund 2 months later… We do not recommend this hotel.

We travelled with Tui from the UK choosing a Rixos hotel in Hurghada having stayed three times at Rixos Premium Seagate in Sharm, and we like a cosmopolitan mix of guests. My husband and I travelling with daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons 8 and 9. Rebooked sea view rooms, requested a quiet location, but central as some walking issues. Block 44 for us way too far away from facilities and had to rely on buggies all the time. Please note that going from 44 to eg.People’s restaurant you go via Bay View their new massive addition to the hotel. On this site and Tui also, the photos need updating to show Bay View and the new pool, Breeze sea front lounge and whatever else they are working on to improve facilities. We were not expecting such a VAST hotel (incl Bay View) as those guests all use the facilities of the original hotel. It’s like a small town! We did expect a better mix of nationalities Our room 44208 was a nice size with views over bungalow rooftops towards the sea. Balcony ok, would have been better with more relaxing chairs. The wooden tiles in the room were very wobbly but moving the rug made it better and safer for walking on. We did feel for the price we paid this was not the special 5 star hotel we expected, no ‘special’ touches. In room fridge had soft drinks, Heinakin and a small bottle of red and white wine, and crisps replenished when needed. We had to pick up milk cartons from the fridges around the estate, and one evening asked for 2 glasses of Rose champagne, but got just the glasses. We had a late check in, unfortunately no map or information given to us which would have been useful. Lost a day or so checking out the resort. The hotel appeared to be full for our week in may and SO busy. Managed to try out the restaurants, but you have to be fast sorting out the reservations on the app. Tourquise our least favourite- all buffet, not nearly as impressive as Premium Seagate Sharm Being able to swim off the beach was excellent, as were all the lifeguards and towel attendants, and Mohamed at the bar on the beach (opposite People’s), the were so kind to us and looked after us so well, loved speaking English to us. We enjoyed eating at Peoples and Mostapha was just perfect. Had a lovely meal at Salt - super venue with the newly opened Breeze Lounge next door for pre and post dinner drinks. Rixos is a great brand, and their staff really are excellent. Could do better bringing rooms up to the standard of Bay View. Asking staff not to keep requesting guests to leave reviews. Not quite the five star experience we had paid for and expected as UK guests.

Review from our stay May 2026. I feel I needed to give an honest review of this resort after seeing so many seemingly 5 star reviews! The wide cross section of people we spoke with from Russia, France, Scotland, Australia and England all have had a very similar experience and criticisms. This resort is NOT a premium 5 star experience! The resort is expanding too rapidly, without the necessary staff to seamlessly do this, resulting in the workforce being spread to thinly for paying customers to truly experience good food and service. The resort is very young family focused, with booming music all day around the Central pool. We eventually found what we thought would be a quiet area, only for the bar in this area to have a large speaker balanced on the bar top with the usual booming music. The infinity pool area, which is a supposedly quiet area was closed throughout our stay. Service in the a la carte restaurants is generally good although rushed at times, with food coming to you when the table is unprepared or not cleared. Our room attendant was very good.. In my opinion, this resort is : over priced, under resourced and lacks the finesse to be called a premium 5 day experience, which it is not.
