TL;DR

At Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza sea turtles swim right at the shallow shoreline, sometimes several at once. The neighboring Jaz Elite Amara shares this beach but costs more; for dugongs travelers usually head to the Abu Dabbab area.

For a trip with a 4-year-old, travelers look for a Marsa Alam hotel with a gentle, easy water entry where dugongs and turtles can also be spotted nearby — essentially one beach suitable both for toddler swimming and wildlife watching.

The neighboring Jaz Elite Amara, on the same beach stretch, is considered as an alternative but is noticeably pricier, so travelers plan to book it separately for just 3-4 nights, combining it with other hotels instead of a package deal.
