TL;DR
Pharmacies are usually available both inside large hotel complexes and within walking distance outside, but hours and pricing vary — map navigation often doesn't match the actual location, so it's best to ask hotel staff directly.
One traveler noted that the pharmacy on the Red Sea promenade near the 'Madeira Spa' hotel offers slightly lower prices than other nearby pharmacies — a difference of about $4.
One traveler asked whether the pharmacy inside the hotel grounds is currently open — it reportedly existed as of a couple months earlier, but hours can change, so it's worth checking with hotel reception directly.
Map directions to the pharmacy sometimes fail to open or lead to the wrong spot — some travelers checked several pharmacies near their hotel but couldn't find the one with fixed/regulated prices. It's better to confirm the exact address with hotel staff rather than relying solely on map apps.
Distance from the hotel to the nearest pharmacy varies by property — some resorts have one on-site, while others require a short walk (a few minutes) outside the complex; ask your specific hotel's reception for the exact distance.
