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.

The 317-room Jaz Belvedere is an upscale vacation complex set in a secluded spot on Montaza Beach, about a 20-minute drive to Sharm El Sheikh's Naama Bay. The resort's interiors are decked out in elegant Arabian styling and the lush grounds are well tended and full of tropical plants, with two large swimming pools as well as a private sandy beach. Though there are only two restaurants, food is above average compared to similar resorts in the area. While rooms are clean and pleasant, decor and amenities are a bit lackluster, with no Wi-Fi and old tube-style TVs in some units. Despite this, it's one of the finer all-inclusive options in the area, though travelers might also want to consider the similar Novotel resort, which is not as isolated and closer to the action of the touristy areas.

The 401-room Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort is an upper-middle-range vacation complex set on a hillside overlooking the Red Sea, about a 15-minute drive from Sharm el Sheikh's main tourist hub. While the rooms are fairly plain and simply furnished, they offer the comforts of minibars, tea/coffee facilities, and high-quality toiletries; some have outstanding sea views. The waterfall gardens are particularly attractive with funicular carriages that transport guests back uphill (though these are not always in service). Pools are numerous and the beach, though small, is pleasant and has an excellent off-shore reef. There are a kids' club and kids' playground, but families looking for abundant kids' facilities may want compare rates with Coral Sea Waterworld or Concorde El Salam Hotel.

The 394-room Hilton Sharm Dreams Resort is a large, family-friendly complex located in Sharm El Sheikh's main tourist center of Naama Bay and a short walk from its restaurants, shops, and nightlife. While the upper-middle-range resort has plenty to offer in way of facilities, including nine pools, it falls short of the brand's usual standards of presentation and upkeep. Lack of a private beach (guests can use the sister property's beach across the road) and dated rooms also detract from its appeal, though children are well catered for and there are several decent dining options. For a better upscale chain experience, the nearby Hyatt Regency Sharm El Sheikh Resort has a lot more polish, albeit at slightly higher rates.

As expected of this luxury brand, the 136-room Four Seasons Resort has all the hallmarks of a five-pearl hotel -- plentiful quality dining, lovely swimming pools, and beautiful sea views. Spacious, elegant rooms all have private outdoor balconies or terraces, most with lovely sea views, and lots of tech amenities can be rented for a fee, such as iPads and game consoles. The private beach, though a bit small, offers excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities as well as two yachts available for guests' use. There are also a spa, tennis center, and a kids' club. This is easily one of the top luxury resorts in Sharm El Sheikh; only the nearby Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh can compare. Just note that unlike many luxury resorts in the area, this is not an all-inclusive property, and extras can add up.

At 526 rooms, the Grand Rotana Resort & Spa is one of the larger upscale Sharm El Sheikh complexes in the area. It also features one of the biggest swimming pools set in over 30 acres of tropical gardens. While rooms are clean and well-maintained, some feel a little dated (and even have old-style TVs). There are several varied dining options and bars, as well as plenty to keep the little ones entertained. If lack of a real beach is a deal-breaker, however, travelers should consider the Coral Sea Holiday Village in the more beach-friendly Nabq district instead.

The Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh is the exclusive wing of the five-pearl Savoy Sharm El Sheikh complex and offers a luxurious experience in a prime location right next to the Soho Square center, which is full of restaurants, nightlife, and a host of activities.

The 36 spacious, high-end rooms and suites are bedecked in plenty of deluxe touches, including fresh flowers and large, furnished balconies that overlook the pools or gardens, and luxurious villas with private pools and gardens are also available. The hotel's adults-only policy means that the atmosphere is peaceful; families traveling with kids and still hankering after the high-end experience should consider the nearby Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh instead.

The 484-room Coral Sea Holiday Village is an upscale, all-inclusive resort located in the newly developed Nabq Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh. Its numerous bars, restaurants, and pools are set in extensive tropical gardens that lead to a wide (although coarse-sand) beach. Guest rooms are spacious and outfitted with air-conditioning, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and furnished outdoor spaces. There are a dizzying array of facilities and activities, and the hotel's all-inclusive plan is one of the better. Despite occasional overcrowding, its a solid choice for families with kids while also providing plenty of opportunities for more adult-oriented fun, though there are several similar resorts in the area, and travelers could compare rates with the four-pearl Coral Sea Aqua Club Resort and other neighboring properties.
