Is Queen Sharm Beach in Sharm El Sheikh a good choice for the beach, food and activities?

For a beach-focused stay, book the Queen Sharm Beach first-line section: it is about a 3-minute walk from the rooms to the sea. The beach is clean and uncrowded, with showers, toilets and a beach bar.

Sea access is via a pontoon rather than a full sandy walk-in entrance. The pontoon can move in rough water, but the reef is a strong point for snorkeling.

A daily barbecue lunch is served at the beach, allowing first-line guests to eat by the sea. According to the report, guests staying on the second line do not have access to this option.

Activities run daily and include volleyball, yoga, aqua aerobics, water polo, foam parties and evening shows. The entertainment team shares the day’s schedule with guests.

The food was described as tasty, although travelers expecting a very large buffet selection may find the choice limited. First-line rooms were renovated, housekeeping was daily, and bottled water was replenished roughly every other day.

Before booking, confirm which drinks are included: the hotel has different package options and wristband colors that determine beverage access.
