Chose the hotel after reading the "custom" reviews experienced about the reef, dugong.
I have absolutely no interest in food and the like. , reef comes first, then sleep at night, safe food and that's it!
Pegas Touristik has this 5* hotel, but here it turns out to be 4*!?
Check-in to a good (flat-screen TV) room, but two nights after check-in to a diagonally adjacent (!! ) floor BELOW (! ) room of neighbors who left the fan in the toilet on in HIM LISTENING with amplification through the air box, but the room was changed without problems (with TV capsule with lens and ripples). And there at night, 10 meters from the body, you can hear the howl of a dead bearing from someone in a working air conditioner.
The room has already changed with a scandal at the reception and the connection of the tour operator.
The third number is the quietest, apart from my rise at 4 in the morning along with the songs of the mullah, - at the same time you can NORMALLY use (at this time! ) wi-fi.

The water in the tap is brown with a strong stagnant odor. The shower works if you hold the switch lever up with one hand.
Paths made of rough concrete are either absent and you walk on sand with stones, often wet from watering the greenery.
The greenery in the hotel is the sea and this is 5+ (out of 5) - you can just walk and enjoy the aroma and views, a lot of birds, tame herons.
Meals: Jupi juices, fresh - stands on a tray for distribution for hours not in demand, then it is served to you for 1 euro.
The food is tolerable, sometimes very tasty (Egyptian evening). Make your own porridge in the morning.
The waiters take orders for drinks and fulfill them so FAST that I have NEVER seen (more than 10 times in different hotels)!
Cleaning in the room is also amazing - wet (! ) every day and very quickly + figurines ; -) ! Nicely !
The wooden pier gets dirty, even the swimming trunks get dirty. Stairs with rusty handrails - hands get dirty, and gloves are forbidden to swim.
From the middle staircase, a strong current will carry you away when you return after swimming.
Far stairs : immediately to the right Very cold current !
I swam to the right in Marsa Mubarok Bay (then walked at dawn) - the reef is nothing special.
In Mubarok Bay itself to the concrete pier: 3-4 species of stingrays, turtles, stone fish, flutes, pink moray eel, etc. Marsa Alam standard. I heard the cry of a dugong, but the visibility was poor - I did not find it.
I swim for 2-3-4 hours, so I see that with such 5-10 cm grass, he has nothing to do there!
I swam from the hotel pier to the left to the port of Ghalib, interestingly, the fish are not scared, everything is standard: moray eels, stingrays, turtles, etc.
I also went on foot to the port, until you go around all the backwaters to the highway, you won’t go to the port, although the illusion from the hotel: you can easily go directly.
Everyone usually goes to Marsa Mubarok Bay and snorkels there : -) .

The best thing is at dawn, while you are swimming there alone, after 9-10 hours boats sail up to 5-6 pieces at the same time + they “look for” a dugong on motorboats, which they actually drive from the night in a neighboring bay - there only on a boat and not the fact that it will fall....
If it's 4*, then I put 4-, and if 5*... ; -( then it's better to have hotels for this money. You can sleep cheaper. . .
If necessary, I can post a video photo on the reef, bay, hotel.
