Which Red Sea resort has a good house reef without major low-tide problems?
The reef at Rixos Radamis Beach Side is comparable to Alkazar and it has a new water park, but low tide is still an issue there too. For better shore snorkeling try Ras Umm El Sid bay, and for diving the Thistlegorm wreck is worth it if you have an Open Water certification.
