How to get a sea-view room or better building at an Egyptian resort when booking doesn't guarantee room location

TL;DR
Email the hotel in advance requesting a specific building or sea view — they often accommodate this and may switch your room even after check-in if availability allows.

Booking building 6 listed a sea view in the description, but it's worth confirming on-site — not all buildings are equally close to the sea.

After emailing the hotel before arrival to request a better location, guests were first placed in a far building, but the next day the hotel accommodated them and moved them to room 3000 — the first building on the right from the sea (facing away from it).

It's worth scouting several hotels in the same bay in advance in case the first choice doesn't work out — this gives a backup plan for location and view.
