TL;DR
Crowds vary significantly by season: July school holidays bring large numbers of visitors, while November and April are much quieter.
In November the resort was very crowded — guests were rushing to claim sunbeds as early as 6am, and part of the Sunrise beach was taken over by a neighboring hotel.
Early June sees noticeably more crowds, likely due to the start of school holidays, with a significant increase in local tourists compared to other periods.
In July at a club beach in Sharm el-Sheikh, there were no more than 10 guests at a time over a 14-day stay — very quiet. Note that flight availability to Sharm el-Sheikh can be limited depending on your departure city.
A stay at Jaz Palmariva Beach in Makadi Bay in late March to early April cost around $210 for 7 nights. Beaches tend to be relatively calm during this period.
