How to pick a sea-view room at hillside/terraced hotels in Egypt?

TL;DR
At tiered hillside hotels, sea-view rooms are usually the odd-numbered ones on the 2nd-3rd floor; the closer the building is to the sea, the better the view, and side sea views are also decent.

The grounds are often hilly with two-story buildings sharing a common terrace, so you'll still need to walk along the building to reach the sea.

Even if you book a standard garden-view room, you might get placed in a sea-view one instead — on the 2nd-3rd floor these are typically the odd-numbered rooms.

Buildings step down in tiers from the reception toward the sea; the best view was from the 2nd floor, though it can be more of a side view depending on the building's position — if you have a choice, pick the building closest to the sea.
