SHARM EL SHEIKH

Before Booking Hotel

To ensure a perfect stay in Sharm El Sheikh Hotels, consider these essential tips regarding location, beaches,
and amenities before finalizing your reservation

Don’t get stranded

Always check the exact distance from the hotel to main attractions. Some remote resorts may seem cheaper but will require expensive taxi rides to reach the city center or beaches.

Beach Variety

Beaches vary significantly. Some offer rich coral reefs for snorkeling, while others have shallow sandy shores. Ensure the hotel’s beach entry fits your swimming preferences.

Jetty Length

Some hotels in areas like Nabq have very long jetties (up to 800m) to reach deep water. If you don’t like walking, check the jetty length to avoid a long walk every time you want to dip in.

Check the view

A “Sea View” room might sometimes be a “Partial Sea View” or very far. Always look at guest photos in our reviews to ensure you are getting the exact scenery you’re paying for.

Understand
Sharm El Sheikh
Regions

All-Inclusive Hotels Guide

Choosing an All-Inclusive resort in Sharm is more than just unlimited food; it’s about the quality of the beach, the specialty restaurants, and the level of luxury. In areas like Nabq, you get massive waterparks, while in Sharks Bay, you get boutique luxury closer to the action.

💡Pro Tip: Don’t be fooled by the “All-Inclusive” label. Standard usually covers local spirits and buffet meals, while Ultra or Premium includes imported brands, late-night snacks, and a la carte dining. Always check if your favorite restaurant requires an extra fee!

Family Resorts Guide

For family holidays, the beach type is everything. Many Sharm hotels have steep coral drop-offs, so look specifically for resorts with shallow, sandy beaches for toddlers. Choosing a hotel with an on-site Aqua Park also saves money on daily excursions.

⚠️ Good to Know: If traveling between November and March, always verify if the resort has heated winter pools. Unheated water in Sharm can be surprisingly chilly for little ones during the winter months.

Adults-Only Hotels Guide

Beware the ‘hotel-within-a-hotel’ trap. Some 18+ options in Sharm are just adult-only wings inside massive family complexes. For absolute peace, verify if it’s a standalone adults-only property so you won’t share main restaurants or beaches with children.

🎯 Good Advice: Not all adults-only hotels are the same. Some are “Lifestyle & Party” resorts with loud music and DJs, while others are “Romantic & Quiet” retreats for couples. Always check the hotel’s daily program to ensure the vibe matches your expectations.

The Brutal Truth
Many hotels in Sharm advertise as
“Adults-Only,” but they actually just offer a restricted wing or an adults-only pool. Once you visit the main beach or the buffet, you are sharing the resort with families. For a genuinely child-free environment, we only list properties that strictly enforce an 18+ policy across the entire resort. Currently, only the two hotels above meet that standard.

Value For Money
Hotels Guide

We handpicked these properties because they offer an excellent balance of cost and comfort. Unlike isolated mega-resorts, these hotels are situated in prime locations with easy access to public transport, local cafes, and restaurants. You get a clean, comfortable room and highly acceptable service without breaking the bank.

🎯 Good Advice: If you are not a fan of being tied down to standard “All-Inclusive” hotel buffets, these options are your absolute best bet. Booking a Room-Only or Bed & Breakfast rate here frees up your budget, allowing you to explore Sharm’s authentic dining scene and vibrant nightlife just steps from your door.
