Is Rixos in the UAE a good choice for a family holiday with children?

TL;DR

Rixos appears to be a stronger family option, with all-day Rixy Club activities, a shaded playground and facilities for teens. When considering other family-focused hotels, confirm the size of the kids’ club and whether the buffet has child-friendly food.

What the community said

At Rixos, the Rixy Club has activities from morning until evening, including games, drawing, crafts, face painting and character entertainment. Older children can use the teen club for video games, board games and chess, and there is a good shaded playground.

Rixos is considered more engaging for children than a hotel with a very small kids’ club, roughly the size of one guest room. That smaller club still runs craft activities, but offers far fewer options.

When booking a family hotel in the UAE, check the children’s buffet in advance: at one hotel marketed for families, the choice for children was limited and nuggets were the main option mentioned.
