Rixos Premium Seagate review — who it's for, best room, local notes | Moments

Curator verdict

A very large Nabq Bay resort that works as a self-contained town: a 23-slide aqua park, more than a dozen restaurants including a Turkish one, nightly shows and a long pier out to the reef. Go for a week of not leaving; don't go for Sharm itself, which is a taxi ride away. Book the main Seagate side, not the rooms tagged (Aqua).

Read the full take

Rixos Premium Seagate is the biggest thing in Nabq Bay, 9 km from the airport and a long way from everything else. It is really two resorts: the main Seagate on the beach, with the lagoon pool, the pier out to the reef and most of the restaurants, and Seagate Aqua across the road, where the 23-slide Aquaventure park sits beside the rooms tagged (Aqua). Guests use both sides; a shuttle links them.

The offer is scale. Seven pools, thirteen restaurants and eight bars by the hotel's own count, nightly shows with acrobats and DJs, a kids' club for 4–12 and a teens club for 10–17. For Turkish travellers the Antalya-born brand shows: Lalezar does Turkish cooking in an Ottoman-styled room, the Anjana Spa has a hammam, and Turkish guests are a visible part of the mix in reviews. The beach is wide and sandy with shallow water; the reef is a long walk down the pier.

The trade-offs are the ones you would guess. It is loud until late, restaurants need booking through a system guests find tedious, and reviews mention tired rooms and pool closures. Meal plan varies by rate. Naama Bay is 18 km and the Old Market 25 km by taxi, so this is a stay-in resort.

Book it if…

Families with kids 4–17 — Aquaventure park, Rixy Club for 4–12, a teens club for 10–17.
Turkish travellers — An Antalya-born brand: Lalezar Turkish restaurant and a hammam in the spa.
Stay-put holidaymakers — Seven pools, nightly shows, a beach with a reef pier; no need to leave.

Skip it if…

Quiet seekers — DJs, shows and pool parties; reviews mention afterparties running to 2am.
Restless explorers — Naama Bay is 18 km, the Old Market 25 km; nothing is walkable.
Small-hotel people — Buggies to cross the grounds and a booking system for restaurants.

Know before you book

Rooms tagged (Aqua) are on the second-line side across the road; reviewers rate it below the main resort and take a shuttle to the beach.
→ Book a room without (Aqua) in the name, or if you want the water park on your doorstep, plan around the shuttle, which reviewers say runs every 15 minutes.
À la carte restaurants need booking through a system reviewers call tedious, and some rarely show availability.
→ Book your must-have dinners on arrival day and keep the Turquoise buffet as the fallback.
It is loud by design: DJs, nightly shows and pool parties, with afterparties reported until 2am.
→ Ask for a room away from the entertainment pool and the show stage, or choose Baron Palms or Meraki for an adults-only stay.

Questions before you book

Is Rixos Premium Seagate adults-only?

No, it is a large family resort: Rixy Kids Club for ages 4–12, a teens club for 10–17 and the Aquaventure water park. Adults get the Anjana Spa with a hammam and a ladies' spa, but there is no adults-only wing here.

What is the beach like, and can you snorkel?

A wide sandy beach with umbrellas and windbreaks, and clear water that stays shallow a long way out. The reef is reached along a long pier; reviewers rate the snorkelling there well. Reef shoes are sensible around the coral.

How far is the airport, and how do transfers work?

9 km, roughly ten minutes by car. Most rates don't include a transfer; the hotel can arrange one and taxis are straightforward. Meal plan varies by rate — check what yours covers before assuming the à la carte restaurants are open to you.

Which room should I book, and what does (Aqua) mean?

Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed on the main side. (Aqua) marks rooms on the Seagate Aqua side, across the road beside the water park; reviewers who stayed there advise the main side. Families of five look at the Family Room, 2 Double Beds; larger groups at the (Aqua) suites.

What's nearby, and is there Turkish food?

Nothing is walkable: Naama Bay is 18 km and the Old Market 25 km, both by taxi. On site, Lalezar serves Turkish cuisine in an Ottoman-styled room and the Anjana Spa has a Turkish hammam, alongside Italian, French, Greek, Brazilian and seafood restaurants.
