The Rixos (formerly Ghazala Regency) used to cater to European package tours but now focuses on Egyptian families. Rooms are large, but the decor uninspired, the housekeeping and front desk variable and meals bland. The beach, however, is out of this world. If you’re looking to lie on beautiful sands and don't mind the downsides, this might fit the bill.
