Which hotel in Hurghada is best for a family vacation with kids (beach, kids' menu, nightlife)?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 75 days ago

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.
