Are hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh overcrowded — can you find sun loungers and restaurant seats?

Some Sharm hotels (such as Serenity) can be overcrowded, with issues at reception, food quality, and rooms. In such cases it is worth paying more for a higher-tier hotel.

Hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh are rarely fully booked — there are almost always a few rooms available. You can book at most hotels without worrying about availability.

Even when a hotel is at high occupancy, there are no issues finding sun loungers or restaurant seats. A family of 4 can always find spots by the pool and at meals.

For families with children, it's better to choose dedicated family-friendly hotels such as Sunwing Waterworld or Sunrise Royal Makadi, located near Fort Arabesque. Standard Sharm hotels are less child-oriented.
