Hotel ratings by criteria:
I chose this hotel according to three mandatory criteria: 1) location in Naama Bay (near the center of Naama Bay), 2) the beach in Hadaba with a coral reef, and 3) a good price! Chose and satisfied!
The hotel is located near the center of Naama Bay, where nightlife is in full swing, there are many shops and cafes, and there is a state supermarket Carrefour with fixed prices, where you can buy a lot cheaper than in private shops. It was not the first time in Egypt, I had a rest in some hotels of Naama Bay: Gafi, Novotel Beach, Sharm Dreams Resort. I did not find a big difference in service, rooms, food in the dining room, everywhere there are pluses and minuses. I arrived at the hotel in the evening and immediately offered to go to dinner, then at the reception I was given an envelope with a key, a card for a towel, a bus schedule to the beach and a restaurant and bar schedule. I was given a single room on the first floor and without a balcony, although I asked for a second one with a balcony, but they didn’t change it for me even for money, because the hotel was full. The room was small single, but cozy, with the same small bathroom. There were questions about bedding and room cleaning, I asked that the bed be changed and the floor washed. Everything was done for me. The bedding was clean but a bit tired. In the future, cleaned every day and changed towels. I left $1 as a thank you. The window, tulle and curtains were far from the first freshness, but I didn’t bother with this, because in most hotels the situation is the same. The furniture is pretty decent, the seat of the chair is clean. The hair dryer in the room is quite powerful, so I didn’t use mine.
The hotel area is small (which is convenient for me, because everything is nearby) and neat.

Water was not brought to the room, but you could collect it in your bottles from the cooler in the restaurant and at the bar near the pool.
In the dining room they fed deliciously, maybe the assortment is not very large, but you can always find something to eat, I have not met hungry and dissatisfied. The hotel was completely full, so if you arrive at the beginning of lunch or dinner, you will have to stand in line for a bit. Yes, sometimes chipped plates came across, if for someone this is critical. Coffee (instant, but not bad) and tea for lunch and dinner should be taken at the pool bar, for breakfast they are in the restaurant. There was no wine at all. From fruits there were melons, guava, dates, oranges (very juicy and sweet), not all at once, but there were two assortments.
The hotel has 2 beaches, one sandy in Naama Bay (I didn’t like it: at low tide it was very shallow and there was a dark gray sediment from yachts and boats on the sand, I didn’t dare to swim there, although many swam), but the second coral in Hadabe! , where children could swim near the shore and see a large coral reef. Closer to the left pantone, the reef seemed more interesting to me, there you could see large coral wreaths, but there was also something to see on the right. True, the beds with mattresses are old and it is better to arrive early to take a seat under the umbrella. Buses to the two beaches run clearly on schedule, they only take them while sitting, if someone does not have enough space, the next one arrives in 3-4 minutes, the buses are pretty decent.
Going on vacation, I carefully read the reviews and was prepared for the worst, but everything turned out to be fine, moreover, I met several people at the hotel who are not the first time to rest in it!
Bottom line: If you are an adequate person, you want to relax on a budget and will not look for flaws everywhere, then you will really like this hotel, but if you want everything to be PERFECT, then probably you are not in Egypt! ))
