Prompt with the choice of hotel!
Good afternoon! For the first time we are going to Egypt, I looked through all the hotels with trepidation, but the reviews naturally differ. I chose between Siva sharm resort and Barcelo tiran sharm. Who was where, tell me, where is it better in terms of the sea / beach, in which hotels there are no pontoons (as in Barcelo, for example)? I only care about the beach and the volleyball court) For the guy - food))
Thanks!
Thanks!

Both hotels are very good in my opinion.
Both have a sandy beach and corals. I can't understand why the lack of pontoons is so important, but nevertheless: Siva Sharm has 2 pontoons.
I want to draw your attention to 2 points:
1) Siva Sharm is a hotel that has existed for a long time, while Barselo is quite recent (by hotel standards). That is, the first "tested by time." On the other hand, Barselo is still just beginning to "unwind", therefore, it should be cheaper than a hotel of the same level, but existing longer.
2) Barselo is REALLY far from everything in Sharm. It is located at the VERY exit from the city - on the edge of Nabq. If you are not going to leave the hotel, then everything is in order. But if you think at least once to go somewhere on your own, then it will not be so easy to do it.
Good luck!

There is a sea in Nabq, but there are practically no corals, and to reach the depth there is a long pontoon, but the hotel is new. If you plan to go in the near future, then the strong winds of Nabq (although there are fences in the hotel) will not bring you much pleasure.
Siwa has an amazing sea, short pontoons, you almost dive immediately into the depths, but the hotel is a bit old.

There is a minibus from Nabq right up to the old town, but it is a long road. On the same bus you can get to Naama. The price for a one-way busik is approximately $1 per person.
In Nabq, there really is nowhere to go except the promenade shopping street, but from your hotel it takes about 20 minutes to walk there)))) There is a hard rock cafe and, in fact, everything))))
Oh yes, there is a dolphinarium not far from your hotel, you can go there on foot and buy tickets on your own to watch a show or swim with dolphins. Save money on tours.

Thanks for your comments! I think, even in mind Jaz Belvedere, what can you say about this hotel?

Between Jaz Belvedere and Siva sharm, I would choose Siva. There are many more opportunities for active recreation and sports. You may also like this (you wrote about the volleyball court, after all).
In addition, my tourists have said more than once that Jaz Belvedere is still a hotel "not for five, but for five with a minus", while I don’t remember any particular complaints about Siva in my practice.

They also offer me to consider Beach Albatross Sharm, there is 4 *, but nevertheless, judging by the reviews, the hotel is pretty good

Beach Albatross Sharm is a very old hotel - one of the first built in Sharm. I heard that it was built as a barracks for the military, although I can’t say for sure.
Sand beach? ?and a pontoon with a reef.
Small windows, old furniture and ancient air conditioners.
Of the benefits - a very picturesque reef, nearby - a large water park, the show 1001 nights is also within walking distance. Again, very close is a funky cafe on a cliff - "Farsha". The old town is also nearby.

In general, the location is good, but the hotel itself is not so good.

From the very beginning, I settled on Siwa. Then I began to compare, communicate with people. Judging by the photo, it is very beautiful in Siwa, I just really want to be able to sunbathe, and then immediately plunge into the sea

Barcelo is very good, although it is not quite new, as it is positioned, but simply resold and reconstructed after 2 years of conservation. But still, the current management of the famous Spanish chain is now felt in everything. But the hotel is not winter. Although its beach is located in 2 bays, it still blows quite strongly there. This hotel is a great option for a period somewhere from the month of April.
Siwa Sharm is quite a good option for a holiday now. The advantage of this hotel's location is walking distance to the Soho boardwalk.
Jaz Belvedere - I do not recommend. The hotel itself is quite good, in terms of service, food. But he did not work out with the sea - there is a plate and shallow water near the coast. Stomping to a depth of 300 meters is a dubious pleasure.

The beach at Siwa - kakadnye balconies. But I warn you, the sunbeds are very old, wooden, a lot of rickety. The area is small but beautiful. Especially the top view of the pool, large cactus bed, heated indoor pool. Central is not heated. For all the fatigue of the room stock, this hotel is excellent in terms of sunbathing and swimming (why, I wrote in your other question). The reef is decent, beautiful, there is enough living creatures. The pontoons are short, there is no wind.
Barceló is a resold and refurbished hotel, not new. The opening date is often written as the day the name was changed: (There is no pontoon there. In the sea, the entry is in shallow water and far away. There is nothing to see in the sea, the current, the wind.
Beach albatross was cool before, now "grandma is not the same."
Dreams Beach is a good hotel. But it is high on a cliff, and the beach is far below, rocky. It's also a long walk to get there. If that's not a problem, it's normal. Comparing with Siwa: Siwa is located vertically along the rock, the main building, in front of it stretches the territory and the beach at the level of the entire territory, sheltered from the wind by the rock and the hotel. And Dreams on the rock are completely blown and go down to the beach at the level of the height of the rock.

kakadnye, sorry, cascading.
I do not particularly favor the Royal network in terms of quality and do not recommend it to others.
