TL;DR
Stella and Labranda hotels have the best house reefs in Hurghada. Diamond is best snorkeled in the morning; Sunrise has a modest reef near the buoys.
A newly recommended option is Remal hotel: its house reef is described as very good and more interesting than the reef at Conti. Travelers especially note the prettier coral formations; access is typically via a pier, and the hotel is on the second line.
At Diamond hotel, the reef is worth visiting in the morning only — that's when marine life is most active.
Reef Oasis Beach hotel has a better house reef than Diamond.
Sunrise hotel has a small reef near the buoys in the middle of the swimming area — fine for a first snorkeling experience, including for children around 10 years old, but not impressive for experienced snorkelers.
For serious snorkeling, Stella and Labranda hotels are the top choices in Hurghada — both have beautiful reefs with plenty of fish.
Makadi Bay area is generally better for families and has more extensive and beautiful reefs compared to other parts of Hurghada.
