I CAN NOT SWIM :(
My husband and I are going to this hotel in October, I have already read about all the hotels in Taba. my whole stay at the sea comes down to the fact that I flounder in the water, lying on my tummy or back, thereby taking solar-water baths :))) ... can I “swim” like this in Salah" ??? or hedgehogs and corals will "bite" me?can someone tell me where in this hotel is a good entry into the water for my case.

Here, in order to swim, you need to walk 200 meters in shallow water (depth up to 1m20cm.),
and coral slippers are of course obligatory (buy on the spot not expensive, bargain up to 5 dollars).

The Red Sea is very salty and keeps well on the surface, I advise you to even learn to swim, believe me, you can swim quite well, you are just psychologically afraid. Be sure to buy slippers.

I would buy a life jacket and swim calmly in it. Also, buy a mask and a snorkel for the vest and a wonderful vacation is guaranteed!

Elenako, you can even take it at the hotel (in any case, you should have it). It’s even easier to take armlets ...
But do not forget about the mask and snorkel - they are a must!

Buy inflatable armlets (children often bathe in them) and you will be happy. You can read more about swimming lessons in my review (taught my wife)

The sleeves are not the same, but the vest is what the doctor ordered.
Regarding the rental - Yes, you can rent it, the cost of the rental will not be cheap, it is better to buy right away, but this is my opinion, I like that such things worn on the body (mine) are only mine.
We bought a vest for a child for 15 dollars with a whistle, without a whistle it would cost less, but you understand the importance of a whistle in a child's life ...

Have you personally tried to swim in armlets? Why are they worse than a vest? In the Black Sea in 2009, the following were tested: a vest, a device worn around the neck (I don’t know how it is called correctly) and these armlets. The non-swimmer preferred armlets. I note that in the Red Sea this is a different case, with a different person, and the result is similar to the Black Sea. I think it’s worth spending about 50 rubles and deciding on the spot which is better ...

The vest covers a large area of the body, and therefore holds better even on the Red Sea.
Why are you against Helga31 feeling comfortable in the water? After all, a person cannot swim! And on any excursion on a yacht, no one will give you armlets (this is ridiculous), but they will give you a reliable life jacket.

I'm not against a vest, it's just that the sleeves are as comfortable as possible and even if a person practically can't swim, they keep him afloat. You will agree that when swimming, a psychological attitude plays an important role, that is, if a person is not afraid, then he simply relaxes and can comfortably keep his body afloat even without movement. A poorly or completely unable to swim makes chaotic and thoughtless movements that lead to rapid fatigue and fear. The vest, of course, keeps the body afloat more reliably, but it also greatly enslaves movement. I just suggest that the questioner try everything in practice and decide for herself. In any case, there should be a person nearby whom she trusts and can count on him. As for funny, I absolutely agree with you, but this must be overcome and then it will be funny that I used to be afraid of the depth and did not swim. On the Black Sea for two days he persuaded me to wear this miracle.
Well, after practical application, no complexes.

I got the impression that this hotel has a good entry into the sea everywhere, i.e. Slippers are needed, of course, but there is no depth. You can take fins and a mask (rent/buy) and try to lie on the water in a mask - it relaxes and the water holds well enough and there is something to watch. If you stand with your back to the dining room, then go 100 meters to the left and there move / swim away from the coast for 200-300 meters and there will be very nice corals at a depth of 1.5 meters, even if you don’t swim along them, you can walk around and look at them :)
just look carefully, there, near the corals, as a rule, hedgehogs are very cute, they don’t bite anyone and look very cute :)))
