How do you make sure you get a true seafront room in a Sharm El Sheikh resort, and which building is best?

TL;DR
If you want an actual seafront room, travelers recommend having Sea Front View clearly written on the voucher; this usually means buildings 1 and 2. The most convenient location is said to be the beginning of building 2, closer to the center, because paying for “first line” alone may still result in a second-line room.

If you booked a standard room, it may be possible to switch to a better category at check-in. One traveler described getting a room that seemed closer to a deluxe category: two separate entrances but still just one room.

The safest way to stay closer to the sea is to have Sea Front View explicitly written on your voucher. According to traveler feedback, this usually covers buildings 1 and 2, with the best-positioned rooms at the start of building 2, closer to the resort center.

Paying for a “first-line” room does not always guarantee you will actually be placed in the front row by the sea. Some travelers reported paying for first line but being assigned a second-line room instead, so it is best to confirm the exact category and location in the voucher before arrival.
