A big, well-run Sunrise resort stepped down the Um El Sid cliff, with a jetty onto a good reef and a Posh Club tier that buys you a butler, a private lounge and the airport transfer. It stopped being adults-only some time ago, though older listings still carry the name, so expect children, an aqua park and a busy buffet. Book it for the reef and the restaurants; book Posh Club if you want the quieter version.
Sunrise Montemare is on El Fanar Street in Hadaba, stepped down the Um El Sid cliff about 22 km from the airport. Its name still travels with 'Adults Only' attached on older listings, and that is out of date: the hotel now has family rooms, a kids' club for ages 4–12, an aqua park with six slides and, for adults, one pool and one bar reserved for them. Read it as a large family resort with a grown-up upper tier.
That tier is Posh Club: suites (honeymoon, jacuzzi, swim-up, executive, a villa) with a butler, a private lounge that serves breakfast until noon, express check-in and the airport transfer. It is the version to book for a honeymoon; the standard rooms are the version to book with children.
The two things that hold everyone are the reef and the restaurants. The jetty puts you over clear water with a lot of fish in the morning; the beach itself is stony and you swim from the jetty, not the sand. Nine restaurants run from Manzoku (Asian) and Basilico (Italian) to Chimichurri (steakhouse) and Felucca (seafood, extra charge); the Horizon buffet is the one to avoid at peak hours. Meal plan varies by rate. Hills and steps are the price of the views; the shuttle helps, but it queues.

No, not any more. Older listings still say 'Adults Only', but the hotel now has a kids' club (ages 4–12), family rooms and an aqua park, with one adults-only pool and one adults-only bar. For a quieter stay here, look at the Posh Club suites; for fully adults-only, look elsewhere in Sharm.
A private beach on the Um El Sid cliff with a jetty out over the reef. Swimming is from the jetty, not the shore, because the beach has large slippery stones. The reef is good rather than spectacular, with the most fish in the morning.
The hotel puts it at 22 km, around 20–25 minutes. Posh Club rates include the transfer; on other rates it is a taxi or a pre-booked car, and charter groups usually have it arranged by their operator. Meal plan varies by rate.
Deluxe Room with Sea View for most people; Superior Room to save. Honeymoon Suite- Posh Club or Signature Swim Up Suite Posh Club if you want the butler, the lounge and the transfer.
Not much on foot: the El Fanar lighthouse point is about 750 m. The Old Market is a 10–15 minute drive, Naama Bay 15–20 minutes, and Al Fanar's public shore reef 1.6 km.

A 45 m² room facing the water from the cliff, sleeping up to four, in the category most people should actually pay for here. Ask for a block on the sea-facing front: guests report some 'sea view' rooms where the view is a lean over the balcony.
Value pick:Superior Room — 40 m², the entry category; the same pools and restaurants at the lowest rate, no view to speak of.
The lighthouse point at the end of El Fanar street: the closest thing to a stroll from the hotel, with the Tiran Island view and a sunset the resort's terraces only half show you.
A public shore reef a few minutes away for the day you want to snorkel without a jetty queue. Reef shoes, and go in the morning.
The Old Market (Sharm El Maya) is the nearest real town: the mosque at dusk, then spices, seafood restaurants and the kind of walk you can't do inside a resort.
