TL;DR
In most Sharm el-Sheikh hotels and villas, winter pool heating is not a default feature and must be confirmed separately when booking; usually only one of several pools is heated (typically the one near the restaurant, not the aqua-park area). Summer pool cooling is rare.
If a hotel has several pools, ask specifically which one is heated — usually it's the pool near the restaurant, not the one in the aqua-park area.
Pools with a summer cooling function are uncommon in Sharm el-Sheikh hotels; travelers specifically ask about this feature, suggesting it's an exception rather than the norm.
When booking a villa for New Year's, confirm with the owner or agency in advance whether the pool is heated in winter — it's not included by default in every villa rental.
