Are premium all-inclusive resorts in Hurghada worth the extra cost for families, and which hotels offer better value?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers often choose Hurghada resorts based on the current price-to-quality ratio rather than brand alone: Rixos, Steigenberger, and Magawish can cost 20–30% more, and many don’t find the upgrade worth it. Reported family prices included Magawish at about 330000 ₽ for 11 days, Pickalbatros White Beach at about 590000 ₽ with similar parameters, and Radamis at about 270000 ₽ for 9 nights in February for 2 adults + 2 children.
What the community said
Some travelers say Hurghada can now be much cheaper if you book flights and the hotel separately instead of buying a package. However, they also note that package insurance can be very useful and may justify paying more.

Value depends heavily on booking dates: one family found Magawish for about 330000 ₽ for 11 days, while Pickalbatros White Beach with similar conditions was about 590000 ₽. With that kind of gap, travelers felt the pricier option was not worth it, and even Rixos looked more reasonable by comparison.

Travelers report that Steigenberger, Rixos, and Magawish in Hurghada often cost about 20–30% more than mid-range resorts, but many don’t see enough extra value to justify that surcharge. Better-value options mentioned were Pyramisa, Aladdin, and Ali Baba, while Radamis was noted as an interesting off-season option: in February, 9 nights for a family of 2 adults + 2 children over 10 years old was about 270000 ₽, only around 10000–20000 ₽ more than some alternatives.
