My daughter is 14 years old, she rides a bike with us for long distances, but I can’t really get into the water even in Sharm, that’s why I’m asking.
Tanya, what about storms in Wadi Lakhmi at the end of September?
It’s just that Wadi Lakhmi looked like he was standing alone in the desert, there was nothing around.
But the fact that alcohol is paid and there is no meeting with the guide is Kaif!!! But my girls somehow twitch when they see Wadi on the map :-)
And how do you compare the bay of Abu Dabbab and Wadi?
Abu Dabbab is closer and as I understand it, there are corals and beautiful ones right away.

With storms, no one will tell you. I was in the middle of September - perfect weather all the time. But it's the weather!
Driving to the hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned car with a tablet in hand is no problem.
There really is nowhere to go. I didn't need this. The company of Slavs, turned to the sea, was always there - to sit, chat. If this is a problem for your girls, then choose another hotel. On the contrary, I like quiet hotels - to relax after a crazy metropolis.
Please note that the restaurant does not include air conditioning. Everyone eats on the terrace of the restaurant. There are fans that do not help much in the heat. If this bothers you, then just ask to turn on the air conditioning in the restaurant.
If you compare the bay of Abu Dabbab and Wadi. In Wadi, the corals are much more beautiful. In Abu Dabab - more living creatures

Thank you for your reply! We are also turned to the sea, as you said, and apart from the sea, we don’t really need anything, I just didn’t put it that way, they were a little scared by the isolation from the world of the hotel, that the desert is all around, just extreme.
Tell me how they fed in Wadi? It is important for me that at least something was not fried and not spicy.
And everywhere they write that they steal from safes, was there such a thing?
And how is the internet?

The food is very good. Not great when 5 types of meat and 2 types of fish. But just very good, fresh and high quality. 2 types of meat and one fish were always (except for breakfast), not to mention other dishes. Just good quality food
They don't steal. I don’t believe it))) In the room, be sure to ask the accompanying person to open the safe with you, so that you don’t call someone later. In my safe, you had to press a button in a special way. And while the maintainer did not show, nothing worked.
There is no Internet. Take roaming in Ukraine. 300-500 UAH was enough for me to post videos on FB for a week
These are fluffy corals in the hotel lagoon https://www.facebook.com/100001737604338/videos/4165063003614262

The corals in Shams are beautiful. I gave you a piece of the video. From Shams to Gorgonia it is very beautiful. I like the hotel better than Wadi Lakhmi Azur. If you still decide to go to Mars, then try to get to Sataya to see the dolphins.

In addition, you may not see dolphins at all, or there will be such an option:
"We went from the dive center to see the dolphins. We swam for a long time, waited a long time for them to arrive at the place of their lunch (so we were told). As a result, 6 boats with a bunch of tourists gathered in this place and two dolphins sailed (similar to a mother with a child). The fact that it began there is a horror - “beaters” rode around in inflatable motor boats and did not let the unfortunate animals swim away, and the whole crowd of people jumped from the boats and chased this pair of dolphins. People - you are animals! "

....... or like this:
"We left at 6 in the morning, the road in a minibus is 2 hours, then they put you on a ship, and we swim for 2.5 hours, a total of 4 and a half hours on the road. Dolphins! This is a part of the reef where 7-8 dolphins swim, and they try to throw you off on a boat into a flock, it looks very sad when 5 boats with people of 10 people bomb a flock of dolphins, there are not enough harpoons. They run away to the bottom very quickly, smart. As a result, 15 minutes! We observe fins, and that's it. That's all the dolphins. Then 4.5 hours back. Upon arrival at the hotel, the guide said, but you saw them. EVERYTHING. I wanted to charge in his face."

With dolphins on the Sataya reef, how lucky.
They don't always stick to the schedule.
I was lucky - two large flocks of dolphins of two species swam with babies.
And they played. And the presence of people did not particularly burden them. If the dolphins were uncomfortable swimming on this reef, they would simply swim away to the open sea.
The sea was calm, the water was clear. The feeling of swimming among a flock of wild dolphins is indescribable!
The minibus ride time to Hamata Harbour, from where yachts depart for Sataya Reef, depends on the location of the hotel. The farther the hotel is from the airport, the less time it takes to drive to the port of Hamata.

Hotel reviews are a rather subjective opinion.
Examine the map, exclude the most negative hysterical reviews, as well as the most laudatory reviews mentioning the names of the animators.
Perhaps someone was robbed of money from the safe, and someone was not allowed out of the hotel, and someone overcooked the fish or prepared a tasteless cocktail ...
And someone went without a wetsuit and could not even swim away from the pier because of the water temperature no more than 20 degrees.
Some people are unlucky with the weather.

I haven't been to Shams Alam Beach Resort yet.
I am now thinking about either the Hilton or the Equinox.
I can write a little about Wadi Lahmy Azur Resort 4*
If it is not calm, but just windy, then you will be allowed to swim from the last descent from the pontoon at your own peril and risk. And you will admire the corals from afar, swinging on the waves and trying not to be thrown onto these corals.
But there are very beautiful coral gardens for those who like to dive.
Statistics on wind strength in Marsa Alam by months can be found in Google.
There is no bay there, only 2 small lagoons on both sides of the pier.
At the same time, in Wadi Lahmy Azur Resort 4 * there are no more entertainments except the sea. No animation. You can walk through the desert to the south to a nearby bay or a nearby hotel. Visibility in the bay is poor, crossing in the heat is a dubious pleasure. You can do the same way by taxi, but taxis in Mars are not cheap.

Corals in Wadi Lakhmi Azur are more beautiful
It's really hard to get to the dolphins. But swimming with them is sooooo cool! I've been to Sataya 6 times (I can't resist) and all 6 times there were dolphins.
Shams is probably in the foot (no seats) now. A tourist who booked Shams Alam there from 27-08 for 10 days through Expedia.com and a flight from Kyiv to Marsa

Let's go back to where we started: for you, the best option is hotels in Abu Dabab Bay (Hilton, Malikia).
Since you have a small child, then Malikia. There is closer to go to the sea and there are slides.

One of the best hotels in terms of protection from the waves is Steigenberger Coraya Beach Resort and the corals there are worthy, so there is a diving center.
