thanks ilika15, agent_borabora!
I looked at the prices on Booking.com from September 10 to 21 (convenient flights for these dates, but the dates themselves and the duration are flexible for me):
Monte Carlo Sharm Resort & Spa - Superior Double Room with Sea View $1162, all inclusive. Few reviews, rating 8.7, low ratings from guests from Saudi Arabia (and they know a lot about relaxation).
Royal Monte Carlo Sharm Villas & Suites (Adults Only) - Royal double room with 1 bed or 2 separate beds $2302, all inclusive. According to the photo, the room is similar to the rooms in the previous hotel, but, apparently, closer to the sea, although the price is twice as high! Few reviews, rating 8.6, low ratings from guests from Saudi Arabia.
Baron Resort Sharm El Sheikh - Superior room with sea view $1148, all inclusive. Score 8.3.
Sunrise Arabian Beach Resort - Deluxe Partial Sea View $1758 All Inclusive. Score 9.1.
There is a very wide range of prices.

It is also important that the room is close to the sea. Ideally, the sound of the waves could be heard from the window. Also good service if possible. But, I think, in principle, this can be solved with a tip. Animation and alcohol are not important. Maximum - SPA, but it seems that all spas in Egypt are now closed. Only the sea and good cuisine, so that there is a cool relaxation.

According to Monte Carlo, the reviews are really ambiguous, they sometimes confuse Monte Carlo and Royal Monte Carlo and the reviews are mixed. This is one territory, but the Royal is isolated from the rest of Monte Carlo guests, only for adults, rooms are closer to the sea, a separate reception desk, a separate beach, separate restaurants.
According to Baron, low marks for simple numbers. And rooms with a sea view are a completely different service.
When a budget is announced by a tourist, it means a budget for a full package tour with air travel.
If you only have 3000 accommodation, then you have only one choice - Four Seasons Sharm.

agent_borabora Thank you!
$3000 is the maximum. If there are worthy options cheaper, then I'd better book them. If not, then you have to fork out.
In Four Seasons $3000 will cost accommodation with breakfast only. If you have lunch and dinner at the hotel (you don't want to spend time at restaurants outside the hotel), then the amount for accommodation will already be $5000. Although, judging by other countries, the level of Four Seasons is really good, but the amount is significantly higher than the budget. Even though it's cheap for Four Seasons.
If the Baron Resort is really good, then you can take the executive suite if it is near the sea. If there are no rooms near the sea, then just save money and just take a superior room with a sea view.
Or, if the Sunrise Arabian is much better in terms of food and service, then take the executive suite or deluxe with sea view, whichever is closer to the sea.

Yes, Fosisons is cool.
The Baron is a building in a semicircle along the beach, so the distance to the sea will be approximately the same in all rooms. Only the Diamond wing is a little closer to the water.
Sunrise Arabian is really less scolded. Also a great option.
Both of these hotels are decent. The Baron is level and compact, the Arabian is huge with ladders. The reefs are beautiful in both options.

In Stella Di Mare room with a panoramic view, I think far from the sea. The superior room next to the beach seems to be much closer and a little cheaper. In general, judging by the reviews, a very worthy option. Although the price is already closer to luxury hotels like Rixos.

Although there are bungalows in Stella, panorama rooms are corner rooms in the main building from the 4th to the 7th floor.
The main building is located as close as possible to the beach, in addition, the sea surrounds Stella along the perimeter.

If Sunrise Arabian is huge and with stairs, then the room will be far from the sea. Although it has good reviews and a reasonable price.
With Monte Carlo, you don't want to take risks because of the reviews. They are few and ambiguous.
It turns out that if you want something cheaper, then this is Baron Resort. Plus it seems to have one of the best reefs in Sharm El Sheikh.
Stella Di Mare will be a little better in terms of service and food, but already twice as expensive.
And the next level is Four Seasons, but almost twice as expensive.
If I understood correctly.

Is Coral Sea itself good? How is the quality of food and service?
Plus, high-quality soundproofing and black-out curtains are important to me.
Do you work in the tourism business or are you a frequent visitor to Sharm El Sheikh?

Soundproofing should be such that the noise from external units of air conditioners, pumps from pools and flying planes does not pester. Of course there are earplugs, but still you want to relax on vacation. Let it happen that earplugs do not save from extraneous noise.

Boris.V, Coral Sea is not your level. First of all, the choice and quality of food.
I work as a travel agent, I visit Sharm in info tours + I get feedback from tourists. I was lucky enough to live in the Baron in the Diamond wing overlooking the sea. The baron not only surprised, he conquered me. Not every hotel has bulk sifted sand when entering the sea; sunbeds at a distance of 2 meters from each other; branded alcohol in the main bar until 24 hours imported: Martini 3 types, Beefeater, Campari, Absolute, Dewars; 5 types of cheese (detox, orange, melon, tomato, banana), imported natural cheeses;
The services included in Premium All Inclusive:
- introductory dive;
- ride on a water bike or kayak;
- washing clothes without restrictions in weight and number of things (how many will fit in a bag);
- tennis in the evening;
- massage 30 minutes;
- a haircut.
The action of the Premium All Inclusive system is until 17:00 on the day of departure. There is a shower room for those who check out late.

Of the minuses, Baron noted the lack of a night disco and very slow service in the a la carte restaurant.
But the service in the main buffet restaurant is excellent.

You yourself are well versed in everything, why do you need advisers?
The budget is sufficient to spend two weeks of September in a great hotel. In my opinion "Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa". You can even vary with the choice of room (the budget is enough).
Decent hotel, beautiful beach (two short piers), Entrance from the piers and depth ... compact area, close to the beach (no need to take a bus. What else?
Ah ... yeah - and the reef? And there is a reef. On one pier the reef is worse, on the other it is better. Everything is there ... both fish in the sea and fried on the beach ...

You can be guaranteed to get a sea view, but the location of the room in the hotel is already at the discretion of the staff.
Please indicate in the note at the time of booking that you would like to stay in the Diamond Wing. And when settling, invest at least $ 40 in your passport.

lazy_person, thanks for the advice!
Stella Di Mare remains a fallback if the wife doesn't like the Baron Resort.
Regarding what I understand, on the one hand, you are right, I have some experience in planning and organizing independent trips, but there are also unsuccessful decisions.
For example, in November 2018, I was in Sharm el-Sheikh. I originally chose the Sentido Reef Oasis because of the good reviews about the reef. As a result, the reef did not impress me, it is almost completely dead. The food was poor, you have to walk a long distance to get to the beach. Smoky cars drove around the territory, the beach itself was tiny. It was noisy at night and many rooms had problems with plumbing. Having changed several numbers in a few days, we fled from there to the nearby Renaissanse. I can’t say that it turned out to be much better there, but the reef was about the same, the food was a little better and the territory was quieter.

Charm in 5 * is for snorkeling on the house reef. Everything else is trifles.
Sleep, sunbathe, snorkel on the reef, eat, animation in the evening. What else can fit in one AllInk day?
Charm is not the place where you can now adequately spend 10,000 rubles a day for two in a hotel.

In Stella di mare, the reef will not impress you either. Baron is better on reefs. You can sail to the lighthouse in the bay and

agent_borabora Thank you!
alexfili, thanks, and I'm planning a vacation - relaxation, with the exception of animation. Only there are minimum requirements for the quality of food, peace and quiet, which are not observed in all hotels. And I want a good reef near the hotel, so as not to waste time on excursions.
Kasja23, thanks for the reef comment!
AllOverTheWorld, $3000 is for two with taxes and no flights. Steigenberger is a good network. Stayed with them in Cairo. Management is responsive to customer requests and gives good compliments if something goes wrong. But Alcazar is over budget - around $5,000 for one and $6,000 for two for 2 weeks with taxes, no flights.
Finally decided to book Baron Resort for 4 nights. If you don't like it, I'll look at other recommended hotels on the spot. If you like it, then just continue. If anyone else has advice on hotels, I would be grateful!

Boris.V, look at prices for selected hotels from tour operators. From my own experience: I live in St. Petersburg, every year I book a hotel in Sharm without a flight from the tour operator Coral Travel (they make a 3% discount from the price on the site). The advantage of the tour operator is inexpensive honey. insurance.

LindaLinda, specially now checked the accommodation without a flight at the Baron Resort on the Coral website - the cost for 14 nights from September 10 is 229,123.38 rubles. (Superior Room Sea View) with a discount of 3% will be - 222,249.68
I do not need medical insurance, I have it free from the bank. And the cost of it in any case is not comparable with the cost of the tour, if you buy it yourself.
I don’t even write about flights now. They are more than twice as expensive.
