Which hotel area in Sharm El Sheikh has a good sandy beach entry (not a pontoon)?

TL;DR

Naama Bay is a popular pick for calmer water and less wind; some hotels there (like the East/Beach property) have a sandy, gradually deepening entry instead of a pontoon, which suits travelers who prefer to wade in slowly.

What the community said

One traveler chose the East/Beach hotel in Naama Bay and asked whether the sea entry is good — specifically wanting a sandy entrance rather than a pontoon, so they could comfortably stand waist-deep in the water.

For a late-November trip, another traveler was looking for a hotel with nice views, good food, a beach not too far away, coral reefs for snorkeling, and ideally a first-line (beachfront) location.

Planning a December trip, one traveler worried about wind and waves in most areas and considered Naama Bay a calmer option; she also asked how far it would be to walk to the sea if booking a second-line room with garden views.
