Is Family Mirage hotel in Egypt good for families with kids?

In December the hotel had plenty of children, with organised kids' activities running regularly (e.g. pizza-making at the main pool bar). Families with children were happy with the stay. Highlights include the waterpark and very warm pools. December weather is comfortable with no oppressive heat; wind is only noticeable on the upper level near the pool by the restaurants.

Stayed in January with two teenage kids and were happy with the choice. Slides and pools were a hit, and the sea is excellent — there's a sandy lagoon as well as open water. Animators in January were energetic and kept the mood up. A big plus: guests can use three neighboring hotels — Palacio (livelier), Palma and Family Mirage (more relaxed). Food and bars were plentiful. The family returned for a second stay.

The hotel does have a kids club and playground. However, in December the guest mix was mostly adult couples with almost no children. Other guests were surprised to see families and suggested the nearby Ali Baba hotel as a better fit for families with young kids.
