There are many entries into the sea in the Citadel. Completely different. Before we were in Sharm, in a hotel with a pontoon 800m long - Tropicana Grand Azure Resort 5 *. The people were indignant: "How terrible it is! So much to go to swim ..." We went, but only a couple of times, and spent the rest of the time in the pools. There is no pontoon in the Citadel, so people are outraged again. You can't please everyone! But in that hotel, in Sharm, it was necessary to walk so far along the pontoon because of the bottom topography. Very long - shallow and corals. And in the Citadel there are only 3-5 meters of corals, which you need to carefully walk through, and that's it! And this is the most "inconvenient" option! Yes, caution is needed. We ourselves saw those who scratched their arms or legs, but we were perfectly able to overcome this “obstacle course”.
You can also go down the steps to the lagoon near the lighthouse (next to the catamaran rental), swim past the lighthouse, swim along the coast and return along the steps. Although, this is only necessary if you want to admire the fish in a mask with a snorkel. And so, swim in the lagoons as much as you want, the bottom is lined with plates and there are no waves even in the strongest wind!

Well, about the "Royal Lagoon" do not forget. This is a piece of the beach near the 5th building, where there is a sandy smooth entrance to the sea. Moreover, after 5 meters the depth is already 2 meters, and further - more. There are also fish there, but the corals are not as colorful and rich as from the open sea. In the "Royal Lagoon" you generally forget that you are in Egypt! A rare hotel has such a sandy beach and seabed!
There were always enough free sunbeds. At any time at any pool or beach area.
Here is a link to a video of the Citadel's coral reef. Filmed by husband:

Zitael made an indelible impression on us)))
If the photo of the hotel is initially "catchy", then you can and should go boldly!
It's just that there are lovers of small hotels, from the same building with a botanical garden ... They are unlikely to like it here. To each his own!
My husband and I love the Citadel is also not blind ))
2 times for 2 and 3 weeks is enough for now. We want to go to another hotel soon. Just because the eyes are used to the beauties of the Citadel, a change of impressions is needed. But once was not enough! It was very pulling!!!
Moreover, if anyone is interested in the hotel, I wholeheartedly recommend to go at least once! It's much prettier than in the photo! And the atmosphere is amazing...
In essence, in order to see where the corals are, where the Royal Lagoon is ... once again I give a link to the satellite view, in which all parts of the hotel are signed (you just need to zoom in on the image and hover over different places):

the entrance to the sea is the main minus of the hotel, there is only one sandy entry, but not into the sea, but into a small lagoon. Basically, all the people gather there. I was there at the end of April, there were few people, so there was enough space for everyone. To get into the sea, you still have to manage to swim between the reefs, which is quite problematic in windy weather. My wife once scratched herself and preferred not to swim there, only in calm. In other places, you need to carefully spank 30-50 meters along the corals (see the color on the map), trying not to fall in the waves. There are also artificial lagoons with a concrete bottom, but the water in them is stagnant, shallow, the bottom is covered with deposits and no one really swims there. Sunbeds 100% enough, the beach is large, sandy. Along the edge of the reef along the entire hotel with a mask there is something to see. And it's a quality hotel.
