Normal, average hotel. The food is plentiful, moderately varied. Was never hungry. There are no insects in the rooms, they spray and clean daily. Vacationers, mostly Poles 49%, and the rest of the Arabs - from different countries. Russian speakers, there were 3 people in my "check-in". Location: in the center of all shopping, cultural and entertainment establishments, but relatively far from the sea (walk-2km, supermarket
"Metro", old market - 1.5-2 km). To Naema Bay by fixed-route taxi for 1 pound -6 km, about 15 minutes drive. The hotel staff is characterized by subtle oriental humor (private details), partly understands Russian, most in English and all in Arabic): . Passwords to start a conversation: salam, thanks - shukran, please: athos, min fadlak. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, water is always. There are no problems with a quiet overnight stay.
You need to organize entertainment yourself, there are a lot of different tours nearby. agencies, prices are different, you can negotiate. The main thing is to be friendly and mobile. Beach own, coral, but a lot of people.

My conclusion: For moderate money, you can calmly, decently recuperate in the periods between excursions.
But, as “nadin65” writes, and the sea? Beaches? Sea yes... ! Turquoise-blue, with violet transitions to depth. Salty, dense (you won’t drown). Any living creature, not frightened. Sea urchins stick out of all the holes with needles, stepping is not recommended. Corals also sting, but they are beautiful and majestic, like stones in the renal pelvis (who saw : )), fish of all sizes, shapes, colors and shades. From the big fish I saw 2 moray eels, 2 stingrays, and at a depth - (the wall going down - 1 km? ) 2 big fish frolic. Visibility is excellent, 40 meters. (I was scuba diving at 20 meters, so you can clearly see up and down). Purple blue and depth down: scary - breathtaking, and up - people are splashing, fish are hiding on the coral wall in the pits, swimming around the reef. Colorful corals are growing. The water is warm, an hour of swimming did not freeze. Well, it's probably good for your health. Salinity is still high. Gargled his throat.
On the beach of the hotel (the reef is awesome), (6 hotels are fixed, a bit crowded), and the truth is that the cliff is about to fall down, but no one cares. But I found 2 wild beaches, one at the end of Naema Bay - deserted, the second in Nadaba near the Old Market - 15 Russian tourists swam and 2 policemen guarded them. You just have to go down the mountain. Beauty, but no shade - for whites - take a sheet.
To summarize: I will go again, but I will take all my diving equipment. And I will dive, photos, videos and mood...
PS: Thank you "nadine65", "i. sharm", your help and information helped a lot.
Good luck Yuri.
