TL;DR
According to hotel guests in Sharm El Sheikh in summer 2026, the sea and pool usually close at 6 pm, and staff start asking people to leave the pool a little earlier. In September 2026 a guest wrote that people are already swimming by 7 am, when towel service starts; the beach, per another guest, opens at 8 or 9 am. At one hotel, a guest said in July 2026 that the pool is available around the clock except during cleaning.
According to a guest report, the pool is already usable at around 7am: people are swimming then and towel service starts at 7am. It closes at 6pm.
As for the poolside schedule: in late August 2026 a guest wrote that at her hotel aqua aerobics takes place in the pool every day at 11:45, led in turn by different animators.
According to a guest posting in August 2026, as a rule nobody swims in the pools after 6 pm because dinner starts. She noted that she was judging by winter trips but assumed summer is about the same.
Poolside loungers, according to guests in late August and early September 2026, are taken early: you can find a spot around 6 am, 7 am at the latest, or after 4 pm. Towels are handed out from 7 am, and after 10 am it is hard to find space by the pool. In mid-August, however, another guest wrote that there were plenty of free loungers at the main pool at 10 am.
In late July 2026 a guest replied that both the sea and the pool close at 6 pm. Staff start clearing the pool a bit earlier because some people keep sitting in the water after all the whistles and warnings. In the morning, as she remembered, the sea is open from 8 or 9 am; she did not recall the pool's opening time because she always went to the sea.
Another guest, planning to return to her hotel in July 2026, recalled being sent out of the sea as early as 5:30 pm. The exact closing time may depend on the hotel and season.
In July 2026, asked whether anyone stops you swimming at night, a guest answered about their hotel's pool: you can use it 24/7. A staff member comes periodically to clean it — don't swim then; the rest of the time, staff said, enjoy it.
