Is a Rixos all-inclusive resort in the UAE worth it for a family holiday with children?

The standout feature is the beach: soft sand, an easy sea entry, good sun loungers and a clean setting. Poolside drink service, coffee and tea receive especially positive feedback.

The all-inclusive food and dessert selection may feel limited: People’s is mentioned as the only lunch à la carte option, while the pastry shop operates only during the day. Guests did not find a 24/7 restaurant, so confirm late-night dining before booking.

Families should not rely on a full evening kids’ club: it is described as small, with few activities, and evening sessions may require parents to stay. That can be inconvenient for adults hoping to have dinner alone at an à la carte restaurant.

Large families should check the room layout carefully: a two-bedroom suite may have only one shower and wardrobe space in just one bedroom. This can be impractical for two children, particularly teens of different genders.

The alcohol selection is considered good, but cocktails are seen as a weak point; Hardys The Riddle sparkling wine is singled out as a pleasant option. Some drinks are served in plastic cups, which may not suit everyone.
