"Pros: I spent ten days here with my fiancée, after having traveled solo across Egypt for a while. At first glance, the resort appears impressive: spacious, well-maintained, with thoughtfully designed architecture and pleasant pathways connecting the various areas. Our suite was generous in size, offered a sea view, and was tastefully decorated – though noticeable wear on fabrics and bathroom fixtures revealed signs of age.
The staff were polite, but operationally inconsistent. Check-in at RPS was slow, and our luggage arrived over an hour late. Room service brought the wrong order twice; the third time, the cutlery was missing. No one was unfriendly – but no one seemed truly in command.
The buffet restaurant was well-stocked in quantity but inconsistent in quality. Pastries were often dry, fish overcooked, vegetables bland. The bar had a better selection, though nothing stood out. Classic cocktails felt improvised. The spa had atmosphere, but the Spa area was out of service on multiple days, and the steam room smelled heavily of cleaning agents.
Worth noting was the Eid dinner, which my fiancée attended alone. She described it as surprisingly underwhelming: instead of the promised lobster, only tiger prawns were served, and the buffet looked hastily assembled. Other guests seemed to notice too, albeit silently.
Overall: a stay with highlights and flaws. The resort functions – but it doesn’t shine. The service tries hard, but rarely lands. The property feels like it’s living off the reputation of former years.
And sometimes, if I’m honest, I found myself thinking back to a small B&B in Dahab where I had stayed just days earlier. No comfort, no service, no ambition – but the coffee was hot, the view was clean, and no one pretended it was more than it was.
Perhaps that’s where the difference lies: between what something is – and what the Rixos Premium Seagate would still like to be." ~Timo
"Pros: It is really close to the center and it felt really safe to be around. The workers are also welcoming and really nice. I really enjoyed my time here. Definitely will come back again!!" ~Nursena
