Which Sharm El Sheikh hotel is best for families with children, with a sandy beach and easy sea access?

Asteria is noted for its spacious, uncrowded beach. Xanadu may feel busier and its beach can become crowded, so Asteria is worth considering if having plenty of space by the sea matters most.

At Sultan Gardens and Rotana, adults should not expect proper shore entry for swimming: even at high tide, the water is generally only waist-deep. Rotana does have a small shallow sea area suitable for young children.

At Sunrise, low tide can make the sea very shallow, so swimming is usually done from the pier. At high tide, young children can play in the shallow water, but there is not enough depth near shore for proper swimming.

Sultan Gardens is described as more family-oriented than Xperience Sea Breeze, with a long, wide sandy beach and many children around. Xperience Sea Breeze appears to have fewer families with children.
