We rested in Sharm (Naama Bay) together with my sister. If you still decide to choose a hotel, read to the end of the review. You will not regret.
When I write reviews, each time I warn that my trip and, accordingly, my impressions will be described here. I don't have type templates: here only this and only this. I will have: I saw this or that and took it that way.
I am always positive. I do not pay attention to minor inconveniences and misunderstandings. I am looking forward to a pleasant journey and rest. We arrived in Sharm early and were at the hotel at 6 am. Therefore, the check-in, which we had even after $ 10, after 12.30, did not upset me. The bracelets were put on for us immediately upon arrival, sent to the dining room (because this place cannot be called a restaurant), we were given cards for towels. DO NOT GIVE money for the reception! Hotel workers are also people: if it is normal, and there are free rooms, you will be settled earlier anyway.

If there are no available rooms, then even if you give them $ 100, they will not settle earlier!
I was not even upset yet, neither when I saw the reception, nor when I saw the dining room itself. But the sight of the tables with food already alerted me. And here are the numbers! The numbers got me through. I traveled a lot, lived in a lot of places, but such killed numbers. I haven't seen in a very long time...still probably from the Soviet times. For two days I was recovering from the fatigue that I brought from Ukraine and from the sight of the murdered hotel.
But after resting for a couple of days, I came to the conclusion: for this money (and we paid 1.200 UAH or $ 540 for a trip for two for 7 nights or $ 540 ($ 270 for one with air travel, transfer, accommodation and meals) this is a very cool hotel !! ! What money, such quality.
Looking around, I saw:
1. Territory: small, compact, the distance from the reception to the dining room is 200-300 m, to the sea 300-350 m).
At this distance, on the right and left sides, there are 2 two-story buildings with rooms for living, and further - a bungalow.
For those who do not like to walk a lot or have sore legs, it will be convenient. There is a small pool between the reception and the main restaurant. In February, the water in it was cool, like in a small "heated" pool.
2. Check-in and room: as I wrote, they settled us after 12.30. They gave me and my sister a bungalow next to the restaurant and closer to the sea, but with one bed. It didn't suit us. We were upgraded to a larger room on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the neighboring hotel. Cleaned up ...well, the main thing is that they cleaned up. The floors, however, were not washed. Towels (once they were white, now the main thing is that they are washed) were changed every day. The bed... there was once a new snow-white, probably when we had the Orange Revolution. They did not change it for us, but we were clean after swimming in the sea and showering. Therefore, the bed was clean.

First, they left a dollar - they didn’t wash the floor, they didn’t twist the beauty from the towels. They left a chocolate bar - they washed the floor, they didn’t twist the beauty.
On the 3rd and 4th day they left a dollar or a chocolate bar - nothing, we stopped leaving.
3. Hotel guide from join. up. Joyne Up (I don't write his name because it won't say anything) was neither arrogant nor pushy. Do not take a tour, he is sorry, but do not impose. If you shamelessly impudently lie and impose travel on the very first day upon arrival, hold on steadfastly, do not fall for their threats like: if you take an excursion elsewhere, medical insurance will not work. This is an outright lie. Before the trip, call the insurance company, they will explain everything to you. They will explain that the insurance is valid for the tour, not for a specific hotel, but for the trip as a whole. This also applies to SPA procedures - in a hotel they can be twice as expensive as in a city SPA center.
4. Food: food is not varied and food is scarce.
Yes, every day is almost the same. Personally, I flew to swim, travel and enjoy the rest. Yes, oysters, lobsters and Dom Perignon champagne will not be there.
But you won't leave hungry. How ashamed we were for our compatriots who “rowed” + “Dam” + I can write this word “rowed” food many times. I had the impression that these people either escaped from a hungry village or city, or had never seen an orange or pastry. Or is it just bullshit. It was a sad sight. Therefore, food was given out in portions. Small portions. But once again I repeat, you will not stay hungry. Moreover, 100 meters outside the gates of this hotel, a street begins with a mass of cafes with seafood. Soup for 4-5 bucks - beauty + deliciousness + eat only this soup. Well, and all sorts of lobsters, shrimp, fresh juices - just super! + meters through 500-700 McDonald's. So that!
5. Animation - yes. Not intrusive, not pushy, almost never pestered.
Animation is 2 Egyptian guys, of which only one worked. But the girls, and grandmothers, and grandfathers danced beautifully.
6. But the sea ...just super! The beach is great, sunbeds are killed, but enough for everyone.

Towels are issued. But then again, for whom? If you are looking for a place to dive or a large area for seclusion, then this lagoon is not for you. And if you need a sandy beach + clear sea and some fish, then this is the place for you.
Between the hotel and McDonald's there is a Duty Free shop, where you can buy alcohol or some other quality stuff within 48 hours upon arrival.

Once again I want to remind you, before you travel somewhere, read the reviews, a lot of reviews. Consider value for money.
My personal conclusion: a good budget hotel, suitable for families with children.
