TL;DR
Sunrise Makadi stands out for family entertainment (pool parties, fire shows, themed evenings). Rixos Sharm el-Sheikh offers spacious grounds and a gentle sea entry but has less vibrant kids' animation.
Sunrise Makadi Bay offers a packed daily entertainment schedule: evening pool parties, beach fire shows, flamingo parties, and themed nights — a strong choice for families with kids aged 10+ who want active programming.
Rixos Sharm el-Sheikh is a well-maintained resort with large grounds, many pools, and a gentle beach entry. Evenings feature shows followed by a DJ and disco, but the vibe is family-oriented rather than party-focused. Entertainment and drinks are less impressive than at the adults-only Rixos.
A dissenting view: the reef quality in Sharm el-Sheikh is rated below average by some visitors, and the resort overall is considered overpriced. If you're not interested in animation, pools, or drinks, and the reef doesn't impress, the value proposition is questionable.
