Help choosing a hotel in Egypt
At the end of May, beginning of June, to Egypt 1 adult + 2 children. Budget but decent hotel. The main thing is to have it often, fresh food, at least a couple of slides and the opportunity to swim in the sea without fear, but also to have a reef (I want to show the kids the fish). The travel agency offered Sea Life, but they are confused by the reviews about the strong current. Is it there all the time or during the winter months? You don't want to look at the red flag. And Island View, in general, the pontoon does not scare, the children swim and the masks have already been bought, but the reviews that there are a lot of poisonous fish are alarming. This is true? Can you recommend anything else?

You tell us your budget and the departure from where it will be easier for us to advise.
In the Sea Club, the current is strongest in winter, in summer the sea is much calmer.
Island View has the same marine life as most hotels in Sharm. The main thing is to follow simple safety rules and everything will be fine.

60.000 would like. Departure from Moscow. And another question - now to book or closer to departure? Now for these hotels 65.000 we were told (10 nights). Maybe it's cheaper after the May holidays? And in Sea Life, swim only along the reef? I like to swim long and far, but it’s not clear there, it’s like they whistle right away ... But besides these nuances (but very significant), I really like it, according to reviews, that you can use the infrastructure of all 3 hotels. And Island View is also attracted by its proximity to Soho, it would be interesting to take a walk there. So I don’t know ... that is. Doesn't the red flag happen in Nabq in summer? Thanks for the clarification and advice!

Nabq area - the sea is not for small children. Sea life (club, garden) are very good. But the pontoon is long, built over a dead reef. In winter, the current is very strong. Haven't been there in the summer so I don't know. You can only swim along the reef. True, if the child is small, then he can calmly flounder in the water on the reef itself. There, an adult is somewhere knee-deep, sometimes deeper. Fish over the dead reef also swim and not a little. But their number and variety cannot be compared with the fish along a live reef.

Thank you, I already understood about the sea in those places, the funniest thing for girls on tour. I tell the agency about it, they don’t believe it, they say there can’t be a current there ... you can rely on their competence ... Or can you advise a hotel for our requests? What can you say about Island View? Can I swim there?

ladysveta18 about the sea in the Nabq area.
Early October Sea Life. From 14 days one day green flag. Mostly yellow. A day later, from morning to afternoon, red.
Beginning of November Rehana. Since 14 days of green never. 2-3 days from morning to evening red flag. The rest of the days constantly alternated red and yellow.
About the sea in Sharks Bay and Ras Nasrani.
Early December for 7 days mostly green, sometimes yellow.
But the Nabq area is good because there are newer, modern, large hotels.

Look at the Hilton Sharks Bay Hotel, Hilton Waterfalls, Dreams Vacation, Shores Golden (the hotel is after a complete renovation and there is still a sister hotel Shores Amforas, more budgetary), Sun Rise Diamond.

Oh, Amforas 5* is already cheaper than 3* Golden? Is it because Amforas doesn't have a renovation yet?
There are no slides at Hilton Sharks Bay. Close to Island. Other than that, it suits you very well.
Island View has slides. But there is now a little repair - one pool and some of the rooms are being repaired. Usually this doesn't bother me much. It suits you just fine. And the reef there is normal and you will not be afraid to swim there.
Walking with children in Soho in the evening is very interesting. Get it if your budget fits.

Thanks for the advice! Island View has risen in price, Sea Club has fallen in price ... But can you tell me if there is any pattern in price fluctuations? can book closer to the flight, we can hope that the prices will be lower?
The agency again told me that this is nonsense, that the sea is not so calm in Nabq ... I just rested in Hurghada, I was not in Sharm. Is it likely that we will not be able to swim in the sea every day in early June?

Now there will be children's holidays, prices for these dates rise by 30-60 dollars every few days. for a tour with someone. It is difficult to say that something has become much cheaper by the time of departure. The plane can quickly fill up and that's it. Burning is unlikely to be. Sea in Nabq with currents. But the agent needs to sell more tours.
About swimming every day. In Nabq, there is often a red flag before lunch. After dinner it's quieter. There are calm days. Don't guess with the weather. No one will give you a 100% guarantee. If the sea is more important to you than the slides, take hotels with a calm sea. After all, you can go to the water park for the whole day separately, albeit for a fee.
I’m not guided by Russian prices, but look at Aqua Blue Sharm, there both slides and the sea will do. Perhaps you will get to Naama Bay for the price.

I watched AnexTour from Moscow. There is a normal hotel with slides, but 2 lines in the center. Xspiriens kyroseise parkland. There are 2 beaches - sand and coral. Read the reviews, you'll like it. For me personally, the only thing that bothered me was going to the beach. But this is me. The price is excellent according to your budget - 48 thousand for departure on May 23. I'm going to keep looking.

They have 52 thousand Sea Life. There is a lagoon here waist-deep in case of rough seas. If the children will swim from the pontoon, be always there, watch. (if you choose). Sea club 54 thousand. Island view - 55 thousand. You fit perfectly into the budget, there are plenty to choose from.

Or maybe tell me without slides, I take them to the water park once and that's enough, let them swim in the sea. Parkland is already very far away and they write that they carry it irregularly. Is there anything in our budget near Soho? If not, I will consider other options, otherwise the agency is not moving.

Wouldn't Island View at a discount suit you? Take 9 nights? Or more budgetary Aidend Gardens. Soho close to your budget is problematic. At the very end of this bay there is Siwa charm, look. Anex does not have it, and I don’t know which other of your eg sells. Do you only want to walk to Soho? Near Parkland there is a Hollywood park with a fountain, though the entrance is 5 dollars. in the evening. Right next to the hotel.
