Help me choose between Concord El Salam Front and Island View hotels in Sharm El Sheikh
Hello. Help me choose between Concord El Salam Front and Island View hotels in Sharm El Sheikh. A convenient descent to the sea and a shallow entrance to the sea for a baby are very important.

By the way, how old is your child?
So as far as I know, the entrance to the Island View Resort 5 * is convenient only from the pontoon (40m). Concorde El Salam Front Area 5* has a slightly shorter pontoon of 14m. Both hotels are located in Sharks Bay, close to Soho Square. Both beaches are rather big at 400m.
If a convenient beach and an excellent entrance to the sea for relaxing with a child are so important, and this is a priority, maybe you should consider not Sharm, but, for example, Makadi or Hurghada?

In Island View, I won’t say that the descent to the sea is inconvenient, it’s just there! And not so much the descent is terrible as the ascent. Look at how small the child is. Then dragging him on your hands up the hill is not ice. There are hotels in the flat part of Sharm. And swimming in Island View is quite possible near the shore. There are a couple of meters of sand there. A friend who can't swim always used to hang out there.

Both hotels are in the same bay, but Concord is bigger and cooler, let's say, but when I was there, it was loaded 90% of them 98% Arabs, draw your conclusions ... The sea is the same, that there, that the reef is almost everywhere dead, For snorkelers, I don't recommend it.

Okay, the reef is dead! A year and a half ago I was quite alive! We swam from Island View in both directions, to Concord and beyond.

The descent to the sea in Concord is quite comfortable, not steep. As for entering the sea for a baby, it depends on the tides. When the tide is in, the shore looks like this

Thanks everyone for the advice. But already in the Island there are no places for our dates, we are going to Concord. Our child is 3 years old. Do I need to purchase "equipment" for him for swimming in advance, or can I rent it locally?

Novi162014, Do you mean the mask? Akavashuz can be taken from home, or you can buy it on the spot.

The child is 3 years old, it is unlikely that he will dive with a mask. There are aquashoes. It is not clear to me in Concord that there is no rental?? Do you need to have your own life ring and life jacket?

P.S.
Inflatable sleeves / vests / circles are sold at every corner, isn't it in Kazakhstan? Are you in that Kazakhstan that China lives behind the fence ... or in some other?

Author, take the circle with you, but you can buy it in Sharm. Some prefer swimtrainer circles - a circle that allows a child to learn to swim. Look on the Internet. Vests are not always a good option for too young children. The child may roll over face down. You always have to be careful.

Outside the hotel, almost everything you need for swimming is sold and cheaper than at home. Do not bother with this. Do not feel sorry for the Island, the Concorde hotel is better. And only from there towards Melia a normal reef begins. Well, another piece from the Sierra to 4 seasons. The hotel had excellent animation, the best I saw in Sharm. Maybe everything has changed. If you are not a fish hunter, then you should like the hotel.

Animation in Concorde was great and is. Singer Ahmed Sami super We are in Concord now. There were a lot of Arabs at Easter, plus the famous Lebanese singer Assi came. Now the Arabs are much smaller, calmer. The water in the Sports pool is overheated terribly, +38. Water in the sea +25. The rest is super!
