TL;DR
In Sharm El Sheikh, choosing a sheltered bay and beach matters more than expecting warmer weather than at nearby resorts. Some hotels can be very windy and may temporarily close the beach, so confirm winter beach conditions before booking for December–January.
A report from early October notes that wind in Sharm El Sheikh can make swimming unpleasant even in hot weather. Check how exposed the hotel beach is rather than relying on the air-temperature forecast alone.
Based on a stay at the Grant hotel, its beach may be affected by wind and can be closed. For a winter trip, especially with children, ask the hotel in advance about beach closures and whether there is a sheltered swimming area.
Observations comparing two resorts suggest there may be no meaningful temperature difference at the same time. It is more practical to choose a hotel in a calm, wind-sheltered part of the coast than to look for a generally warmer resort.
