The 304-room Xperience Sea Breeze Resort is an upscale, adults-only complex located in Shark's Bay, a 10-minute drive from Sharm El Sheikh's Naama Bay tourist hub. It ticks all of the boxes as far as facilities, with plenty of pools, bars, and better food than most all-inclusive resorts. However, it lacks the spacious grounds of many similar properties in the area and its sloping, hillside setting also means there's a lot of steps to navigate. Rooms are spacious and some have balconies with sea views. The snorkeling just offshore is excellent and the rooftop shisha cafe stands out, though those seeking a proper beach might want to consider the nearby Baron Palms instead.

Iberotel Il Mercato is an upscale, 318-room resort located in the center of Sharm El Sheikh's Il Mercato retail and entertainment promenade. While the location means there's no beach on-site (instead there is a free shuttle to one), there is an abundance of bars, shops, and eateries in the immediate surrounds. Bright and spacious rooms have air-conditioning, satellite TV, and most have private balconies. Three outdoor pools, a decent spa, and a choice of restaurants are on offer, though the hotel can't compete with the facilities of some of the larger resorts in the area, like the Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort nearby (which is only slightly pricier and has a private beach).

The Island View Resort is an upper-middle-range, all-inclusive complex overlooking Shark's Bay and a 10-minute drive to Sharm El Sheikh's main tourist center. While both the reception and gardens are attractive and well-maintained, many parts of the resort look dated and in need of a revamp. Rooms feel a little old-fashioned as well, though they are clean and some offer sea views. There are four swimming pools that include a waterslide and kids' pool as well as a private beach with a coral reef. Dining options consist of three restaurants as well as a range of bars, including poolside and beach. Overall, this is a good value option (if nowhere near advertised five-star standards), though for a little more polish, travelers might want to consider the Jaz Mirabel Park or Jaz Mirable Beach.

Xperience Kiroseiz Parkland is a 700-room, upper-middle-range resort set on the west side of Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh's main tourist hub. While less polished than some comparable properties -- parts of the resort could use a makeover -- it still features ample facilities including 18 bars and restaurants, three pools, and a small water park. The hotel lacks direct access to the sea, which might be a deal-breaker for some, and spacious rooms have a simple, spartan quality to them. Overall, it's a relatively cheap and cheerful option close to most of the action, though travelers seeking something with a beach should consider the nearby Moevenpick Resort.

The Sultan Gardens Resort is an upscale, 520-room property set on extensive grounds in the Shark’s Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh. Popular with families and couples, it has ample kids' facilities as well as an adult-only dining room and pool. It's one of a few hotels in the area with in-room Wi-Fi (for a fee) and though rooms look a little dated, they include flat-screen TVs. While younger couples might prefer the Xperience Sea Breeze Resort next door, there's still plenty for all ages -- and with a three-tier all-inclusive plan -- for various budgets.
