Positive first.
The fish in the sea are colorful, like in an aquarium. Entrance from the pontoon. Boats with excursionists from other places sailed to our reef to take a look at the fish. The hotel has a diving club, who wants to can try. Scuba training in the hotel pool.
There is a sandy section of the beach with a convenient entrance for children to splash around (for an adult a little above the knee) and so twenty meters to go.
Nice well-groomed landscaped area with pools, waterfalls, bridges. Multicolor. In the evening, everything is illuminated, literally every tree is individual.
One of the pools is heated. Animators work daily in the Gabi pool (water aerobics, darts, volleyball on the beach).
Good varied food, there was always fish, octopuses for a couple of days, crabs. Meat: chicken, lamb, veal. Juices from packages (mango, guava, apple, orange). Lots of pastries, desserts, ice cream. Mixed salads and separate vegetables. Canned beer.

Coca-cola, fanta. Wine from packages, red like even nothing. Cocktails for dinner. Coffee is good in the lobby bar. Cocktails in bars can be ordered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, prepared with juices.
The central building of the hotel is designed in the style of an Arab palace (see photo). There is a reception, a large lobby bar, an a la carte restaurant and several shops. The buildings with numbers are all three-story and, if you look at the Google Map, they are located like the legs of a strange spider (see my numbering scheme).
In the evening, you can walk along the alley-promenade along the sea to the neighboring Melia Sinai (this is if to the right). By the way, Melia Sinai outwardly looks worse than Melia Sharm and there were fewer people in it, the impression that it was not completely filled. If you go left along the beach past the construction site, then the alley-promenade continues through the hotels of the Baron chain. After walking along the alley for five hundred meters, you find yourself in a shopping and souvenir street near the Baron Palms hotel, which is open until late at night.
There you can buy souvenirs, teas, etc. without leaving Naomi Bay.

Now for the negative.
Did not like the attitude towards us at the reception.
We arrived at 19-00 and they gave us a room in 10 minutes. We have paid for the standard. But the number was given from a series of "uncomfortable". Under it was a fan from the sauna, which created a lot of noise and humidity, the door to the balcony could not be opened. When issuing the room, no one warned about the inconvenience, no one apologized when we were forced to return and say that we did not agree to live in such a room. I tried to be calm and not get upset. It was noticeable that with the Italians, for example, they are more kind. They said that everything is full, there are no other rooms today, they promised to change it the next day, as a result they changed it in the morning to Sea view with an additional payment of $ 100 officially, they issued a check.

The hotel is fairly new but...
Even in our first issue, my wife tried to pull out a napkin from a special chrome-plated holder built into the wall.

Together with the napkin, the box itself fell out of the wall : )
In our second room after cleaning : ) the closet door fell out. Yes, this is how we come from the beach, the door hangs skewed on one roller. I was forced, with some effort, to put it in its place myself. Our Arab maid, unfortunately, did not manage to do it himself. But the test case occurred when I went to wash my hands in the toilet near the lobby of the bar and pressed the button on the liquid soap dispenser, mounted on the wall near the washbasin. The lid of the dispenser fell off and fell to the floor, the package of liquid soap itself fell onto the marble washbasin and spread. I barely had time to jump back so as not to be splashed : (

We didn't have much luck with cleaning. Our "maid" first got into the habit of knocking on the door around 16-00 and asking if it was possible to clean. Naturally, we offered him to do this in the morning and afternoon, when we are not in the room. True, on the last day we saw a swan with a heart, strewn with petals.
But alas, it was too late, small bucks ended by that time.

In general, in my opinion, if you do not dwell on the negative, then you can go to this hotel. I myself chose it according to the reviews of tourists, so I post mine.

P. S. I post the numbering scheme among the photos. Rooms for 3000 are all unimportant, as they face a narrow courtyard. Rooms 3003-3004.3103-3104 are also located above the humming sauna fan.

Rooms at 1000.4000, 5000 most of the gardens view are ok. Among the 2000 there is a view of the pool. Sea view only 6000 and some 5000 overlooking the Gabi pool and the sea.
