TL;DR
Xanadu in Makadi Bay is great for young kids: sandy gradual entry, baby food and high chairs, sheltered windless bay. Alternatives for a family New Year trip: Rixos is windy and crowded, Swissotel is far from the sea, Sunrise Rucana lacks evening entertainment.
Rixos is often criticized for being windy and very crowded — not ideal for a relaxed family stay.
Swissotel is located far from the sea, inconvenient for families with small kids.
Sunrise Rucana may disappoint some travelers — guests note there's no evening animation, making nights boring.
Xanadu in Makadi Bay has a sandy beach entry with gradually increasing depth — safe and easy for small kids.
Xanadu offers jarred baby food on the kids' menu, plus high chairs and cribs are provided.
Makadi Bay is a closed bay and the calmest, most sheltered spot in Hurghada, though wind can pick up by late October.
