The only all-inclusive in the world simultaneously holding Forbes Five Stars, AAA Five Diamonds, and a MICHELIN-starred restaurant — a genuine distinction, not a marketing claim
Cocina de Autor's 8-10 course tasting menu with wine pairing is fully included in the all-inclusive rate — at a standalone restaurant this would cost hundreds per person
Every suite starts at 1,081 sq ft with ocean views, private terrace jacuzzi, and 24-hour butler concierge — the entry suite here exceeds most competitors' top categories
Three-tier infinity pools naturally segregate family, activity, and adult-only zones without restricting access — practical design rather than strict policy
Cons
Beach is not swimmable — Los Cabos Pacific currents make ocean swimming dangerous; the infinity pools are where guests actually swim
Cocina de Autor is restricted to adults and guests 18+ — families with younger children can't access the MICHELIN-starred restaurant during their stay
Rates start around $1,600/night in low season and $1,800+ in peak winter — a significant commitment that requires being genuinely invested in the Five Diamond experience to justify
Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas
Pros
All 410 accommodations are suites or villas—no standard rooms. The entry-level suite still comes with a separate living area, which is a meaningful baseline for this price category.
7 km from Hurghada Airport means 10–20 minute transfers—useful for late flights or early departures.
The 1 km private beach is one of the longer stretches in Hurghada, giving adequate space even in peak season.
La Churrascaria (Brazilian churrascaria) and Lalezar (Turkish cuisine) are genuinely uncommon in Egyptian all-inclusives—the dining variety is a real differentiator.
Cons
The pool count (30 pools) sounds impressive but includes individual villa pools—the shared pool capacity is proportionate to the 410-room occupancy, not extraordinary.
The ultra all-inclusive rate in the suite-and-villa category comes at premium pricing that significantly exceeds comparable Hurghada alternatives.
Summary
Grand Velas Los Cabos has a higher guest rating, while Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas has more restaurants, while Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas is the larger property, while Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas has more dining venues, while Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas offers more activities.
