The upper-middle-range Savoy Sharm El Sheikh offers 412 dated rooms and a beachfront setting within the Savoy Complex, close to the airport. The 49 acres (20 hectares) of landscaped gardens nestle this huge property, and it's bordered by sands on one end, and shopping and entertainment-filled SOHO Square on the other. All-inclusive packages offer a wealth of variety, including five pools, 11 bars and restaurants, a spa, and kid's facilities. However, like rooms, interiors are dated throughout. Nevertheless, rooms come with flat-screen TVs, kettles, robes, and furnished outdoor spaces. For a more modern design, consider the Stella di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa.

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 pools are large and clean, and include one with slides for children and a quieter one with cabanas and drink service. The spa offers a comprehensive treatment menu, as well as a hammam and a hydrotherapy area, and the gym is well-equipped and offers personal training sessions (for a fee) and free group classes.

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.

The 538-room Aqua Blu Sharm is a three-pearl, all-inclusive family resort located inside of Sharm El Sheikh's largest water park, Aqua Park City. Its setting is the main draw for visitors, providing a dizzying array of pools and waterslides. Modern rooms are large and include flat-screen TVs plus small terraces or balconies. As an all-inclusive resort, food and drink is included, but tends to be a let down. The hotel's pool and water park access is hugely popular with kids, though adults might struggle to keep themselves entertained -- especially in the evening. Travelers looking for a beachfront resort should compare rates with the Jaz Belvedere, though it lacks a water park.

This upper-middle-range hotel from the Marriott brand is conveniently situated across the street from Naama Bay beach and is close to plenty of restaurants and shops. It's a fairly standard, chainlike property, and though it could do with some updates to tired interiors, it's a solid choice that offers a good variety of amenities, including an outdoor pool and kids' pool, a spa, fitness center, and several dining options, from sushi to Italian to poolside barbecue. Rooms are clean and air-conditioned, and come outfitted with flat-screen TVs and kettles, but in-room Wi-Fi incurs a fee (it's free in public areas). Interiors at the nearby Hotel Novotel Sharm El-Sheikh are a lot nicer, plus it has five swimming pools, but there's no spa.

This Hyatt Regency hotel overlooking Gardens Bay is an upscale resort popular with both couples and families and located a five-minute drive from Sharm El-Sheikh's tourist hub of Naama Bay. Attractive architecture is matched by lush gardens, with no shortage of water features and colorful flora throughout the property. The pool complex features cascades, hot tubs, and a waterslide, while the sandy beach offers great snorkeling and a coral reef. Dining options are tasty and aplenty, but can be expensive, and free Wi-Fi throughout is a real bonus. The 432 rooms are spacious and offer private balconies with sea views. All in all, this is one of the better upscale resorts in the area for the price, although some rooms are awaiting renovation. Travelers might also want to consider the Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Fayrouz Resort, which is right on Naama Bay.
