The 376-room Coral Sea Waterworld Resort is an upscale, all-inclusive vacation complex located in the Nabq Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh. The impressive water park is the main event, though there are plenty of other facilities, including pools, sports, restaurants, and activities, to keep busy. While rooms are generally clean and modern, some of the resort looks dated and quality of food and entertainment can be inconsistent. Overall, this is one of the best upscale kid-friendly options for the price, but couples may prefer the similarly priced and adult-only Xperience Sea Breeze or Savoy Sharm El Sheikh.

The Concorde El Salam Hotel is an enormous, 725-room, upper-middle-range resort located a 15-minute drive from Sharm El Sheikh's main tourist hub. The hotel features the most extensive sports facilities in the area, including horse tracks, a diving center, and an ice-skating rink,as well as an impressive selection of restaurants, bars, pools, and family-friendly amenities. While the beach isn't the best, the coral reef just off shore is impressive. Rooms in the Front Hotel section are reasonably modern and some feature sea views, although parts of the resort (especially in the Sport Hotel section) could use a refresh. This is a sprawling, bustling property mostly and can feel a bit overwhelming; the smaller, family-friendly Coral Sea Waterworld Resort also has a water park and similar rates, but not as many sports facilities.

The 165-room Le Royale Sharm El Sheikh is an upscale boutique resort set within Sonesta Beach Resort in the bustling tourist hub of Naama Bay. The grounds are particularly attractive, with lush, landscaped gardens and three swimming pools. Rooms are spacious and elegant, with good tech including free Wi-Fi (a rarity in hotels in the area); some offer direct pool access. One downside, however, is all dining options are in the neighboring sister hotel, though guests can also share its ample amenities including a fitness center and lovely beach where there's a designated area only for Le Royale guests. All in all, the property provides a more secluded and exclusive experience than some competitors, but travelers seeking easier access to on-site facilities might want to consider the sister hotel, Sonesta Beach Resort & Casino Sharm El Sheikh.

The 302-room Movenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh is a three-and-a-half-pearl property with private beaches and high-perched positioning overlooking Naama Bay. Leisure travelers come here for the gorgeous views, snorkel-friendly coral shores, and large pool with kiddy section, but expansive grounds can mean a fair bit of walking and steps. Arabian-influenced interiors are found in the comfortable rooms with kettles, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. However, their traditional decor is showing wear and tear. Multiple restaurants and bars offer well-reviewed fare, plus there are a spa, ample sports facilities, and activities and entertainment for both kids and families. With less steps to navigate, the Park Inn by Radisson Sharm El Sheikh Resort is a good alternative.

The 242-room, upper-middle-range SENTIDO Reef Oasis Senses Resort is a large, family-geared property with an enviable reef location. Its coral shores make for some of the best diving in the region, and vast gardens, terrace, pools, and a huge water park are mostly well-maintained. All-inclusive drinking and dining receive positive reviews, and sports and entertainment are good. Comfortable rooms have kettles, furnished outdoor spaces, and minibars, but decor is on the dated side and Wi-Fi is unreliable. Couples may prefer the quieter, adult-only The Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh.

The 262-room Xperience St. George Homestay is a mid-range property in the Um El Sid district of Sharm El Sheikh. Rock-bottom rates here offer decent bang-for-your-buck, with features including all-inclusive drinking and dining (except for a la carte eatery), great outdoor pool areas, and two private beaches (although they're off-site). Rooms are bland and in need of a refresh, but they're large, air-conditioned, and have mini-fridges. An on-site kids' club and animation team keep young ones busy, and a small spa is available for a fee. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi also requires a fee, and food is mediocre. It's worth considering the Movenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh for a beachfront stay, though rates are pricier.
