Chose in the spring. I read a bunch of reviews and settled on Mirabell Beach in Sharm. Whoever likes what, but I will describe my approaches and preferences.
1. The hotel must be new and not scruffy - answers.
2. Although I am not a slave to the stomach, but the food should be varied, tasty and not get bored in 12 days - I got it again, moreover, without queues at any time and at least eat ice cream.
3. Take only a superior room (a little more expensive), then they will put windows on the pools. All Russians take the standard and get to the playground and auction. quarter-noise and din.
4. Free sauna, fitness equipment every day.
5. Relations with the staff - you don’t touch them and they don’t get you, but they do everything.
6. Here is the sea - a small puncture for lovers of depth. But if you don’t be pretentious, that is, there is a 100x50m recessed place to swim at high tide. But walk to the left along the sea up to 1 km and a beautiful reef next to the hotel under construction. Moreover, the reef starts almost from the water’s edge. Fish are class.
7.
It is better to buy a snorkel, fins, a mask, slippers not in a hotel or at home, but in a supermarket (200-300m from the hotel across the road towards Sharm) Cop, almost does not make a fool.
In general, the hotel and rest-class. Inexpensive!

Quote: "In the evening, walk around the city on foot"
In my opinion, this is far from the most important criterion for a good rest ...
Holidays in Egypt are different from holidays, for example, in Europe. Or in Thailand, you must definitely live the nightlife of the city ... And in Egypt, rest is built mainly on spending time within the boundaries of the hotel, sea excursions or "distant" excursions on buses.
Che there to walk around the resort Egyptian cities? :))) What is there to see? :)) Even if the hotel is far from the city, you can always go to the city by minibus. One such trip (as a rule, excursion-purchasing) is more than enough for the whole vacation!!! It is better to devote more time to the beach, leisurely sipping "all-inclusive" wine and excursions.
And about the sea ... Be sure to take a ticket to the FIRST line hotels! They are all near the sea (no need to stomp under the scorching sun from afar).
In Hurghada, in terms of price-quality ratio, I can recommend hotels of the network "Aladdin"-"Ali Baba"-"Jasmine". There is even a sandy beach. And there are corals. :) But to the city - by minibus.

I would advise Arabi Azur, Arabella Azur or Bel Air Azur - 3 nearby, minibus to Hurghada - 1-2 pounds - 5-10 rubles for our money. the hotels are not new, but very good - they were a year ago - they fed just fine. After this hotel, we have already been to Egypt 2 times - there is nothing better than Azurov.

Two remarks.
Both Hurghada and Sharm are not cities. Resort villages. I was once amazed that in Sharm, in the old city, 50% of the territory of the "city" is occupied by the bazaar. And Naama Bay, if you remove the hotels, is a one-kilometer long street. The same is true in Hurghada.
Hotels located in areas where you can walk , built long ago and more expensive than similar ones in more remote areas. For obvious reasons.

I fully support Arabia and Bel Air in Hurghada! Meets all your requirements and the audience will be in the appropriate age category. Near the huge shopping center Ali Baba. If you are interested in the details, a review on my nickname)))

Yes, you really suit Arabia and Bel Air. Well, if you are in Egypt for the first time, in my opinion, the criteria for recreation should be reviewed. I've been there many times, if you're interested, write to the blog, or you can leave questions on the forum with the author of my nickname. Have a nice holiday!

Good day! I have rested in Egypt more than once and I wholeheartedly advise the 5-star hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh Ybor Hotel Grand Sharm ... corresponds to its level, everything is worthy, not noisy, next to the hotel there is a mini town 1000 and 1 night within a 10-minute walk ...
