TL;DR
The best house reef is at Zahabia Hotel. Good reefs also at Arabella, Arabia, Belle Air, Citadel, Pyramisa, V Luxury, Flow Spectrum (Sahl Hasheesh), Xanadu, Fort Arabesque (Makadi).
Travelers also mention the Sultan hotel as an option with a decent house reef, though adults usually find sea access easier from the pier or pontoon; beach entry is said to be more comfortable mainly for small children and at high tide.
In Makadi, two Sunrise hotels are additionally mentioned among the properties that have both shore entry and a reef for snorkeling.
In Sahl Hasheesh, hotels with house reefs include Pyramisa, V Luxury, and Flow Spectrum — good options for snorkeling directly from the beach in that area.
In the Makadi area, a stretch of hotels at the start of the zone have house reefs: Xanadu, Xanadu Club, and Fort Arabesque — a solid cluster for reef snorkeling.
The top house reef is at Zahabia Hotel. Nearby hotels with partial reefs include three Sunny Days properties, Arabella, Arabia, Belle Air (adults only), and Citadel.
Equinox Hotel is a great pick for older travelers: excellent service, 5-star-level food, and a mature crowd. The beach has a sandy entry into the sea with corals nearby.
