The overall impression is very good. Rested well. There are two things for me that overshadowed the rest a little. This is unbearable heat, August and the absence of beautiful fish, which they go to the Red Sea to admire. And now I'll start in order. We arrived at 6 am.

And now I'll start in order. We arrived at 6 am. The hotel is located in Noami Bay and overlooks the center of nightlife and entertainment. The hotel is small, cozy, but it would be a little updated, but it's not scary. Bracelets were put on at 10 and settled at 10-30. They gave me room 204. The room is big and clean. With a very comfortable mattress. Sleep comfortably. True, the room does not have a balcony, but in this heat it is not needed. In the evenings, night life was audible, but we, accustomed to falling asleep under a working TV, did not interfere. The air conditioner worked great. Did not buzz, although some complained that it was noisy. There are no Prussians and mosquitoes. They also can not stand such heat : ). Huge bathroom with shower. There has always been water. The room was cleaned every day. They left a chocolate bar once, since they didn’t take 10 pounds. The husband was chasing the janitor to give back. Everything is not new, but whole. True, we did not crawl along the baseboards with a magnifying glass and did not look for garbage. Everything worked, no noise and no leaks. We don't need more.
We only slept in the room. Two days before departure, we were moved to room 126, the room is even bigger, the bathroom is smaller. The room overlooked the pool. It was quiet, but the bed wasn't as comfortable as the first one, which was a bit of an inconvenience. From the hotel to the beach 50 meters. Trestle beds are metal, Mattresses may not be immediately from the factory, but whole and clean. They were washed every morning. There was enough space. It is worth noting that August is the time of rest for local residents. There are 70 percent of them on the coast. Almost all of them are kind, cheerful and adequate. They don't seem to know how to swim. Therefore, in the pool, saddles in the children's area and in the sea in shallow water. They sit for hours, they are also hot : ). The water temperature in the sea is + 37, in the pool +40. There is no place to cool off. You go into the sea, it seems that you are taking a bath. missing washcloth. Cool off with a shower on the beach.
Now about nutrition. There was enough food. Yes, there were no lobsters and caviar. But they were not hungry. For breakfast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, yoghurts with dry food : ), all sorts of sweet dressings, vegetables. In seven days for lunch, chicken and fish were not cooked the same way more than once. The blue ones (eggplants) were very cool, no matter how they cooked them. steamed and stewed vegetables. Potatoes have never been raw. Dinner is the same. there were also different salads, we did not take them. They're from what's left of dinner. The locals raked them up. Side dishes: two types of pasta, two types of rice, potatoes, vegetables. We must not forget that this is a troika and a pandemic. A couple of times the chef came out and was interested in whether everything was tasty and of high quality. The chefs who serve are cheerful and have a sense of humor. ALMOST everyone didn't make any difference between the locals and us. Locals for pancakes stood in a small queue like everyone else. Maximum 5-7 people. For the price of a ticket, it's just wonderful. There is no wine, beer in kegs is very tasty, my husband said that it is better than bottled. Strong drinks as everywhere in Egypt. Problems with water. They gave it immediately at the entrance, and then either buy it or quietly collect it in the cooler. The bars were open until 18 on the beach and 23 near the show area. The bartender Mustafa is very sociable and cheerful. The question of one glass in one hand has never arisen. We were not rude and smiled and received a friendly behavior and attitude in return.
Now about entertainment. Hasim, the pool lifeguard, is a kind and cheerful boy. Tries to learn our language. Knows the alphabet. Helps children, tries to amuse everyone. Animators: Mimo and Sasha (Faraoni) turned people on, DJ Peter (if he said the name correctly), just a handsome man. not just at the remote control, but also takes an active part in all competitions. Conducted mini discos for children, competitions and karaoke for adults
On Monday, I had a birthday for dinner, they brought out a cake and sang "happy birthday", in the evening there was a fire show, then they danced around me and a lot of wishes. Local vacationers also took part in the round dance. everyone was having fun and dancing. I got tremendous pleasure. Thank you guys. My husband participated in the Mr. Hotel contest, so in the morning all the local vacationers smiled at him and tried to hug Mr. Misha. They had a dance around the pool.
There is a fish restaurant 100 meters from the hotel. The colorful Captain Seryozha works in it. For 20 dollars. boiled two trays of shrimp. fresh and delicious. The perfect addition to champagne on your birthday.

I was brought to the hotel at 4 am. But settled, unfortunately, already at 10-00. In a single small room (had to pay a little extra) to be moved to a more spacious one.

The room is spacious, clean, although it needs a bit of renovation and a very terrible curtain, hair dryer, toiletries...During the stay it was not always cleaned.

The hotel is small, cozy, well-groomed area, swimming pool, private beach across the promenade. But everything is a little old. Ideal location for relaxation - the center of Naama Bay ...not noisy and not quiet, just what you need.

The staff is very friendly and kind.

There is no Wi-Fi anywhere, so it's better to buy a SIM card at the airport for $ 10 ...everything will be installed there in 2 minutes ...I took Orange 16 mb enough for a whole vacation.

The food is normal, as for 3k very even nothing. Vegetables, fruits, sweets, side dishes, soup was always for lunch and dinner, fish and meat every day.

Alcohol - vodka, beer, gin, whiskey, rum, brandy.
Alcohol is not bad, weak and soft ...it is drunk easily and it does not happen badly after it!

The sea is gorgeous, clean, sandy beach. The sun loungers are comfortable with soft mattresses, but already old. There are garbage cans all over the beach. Beach towels are issued at the reception once for the entire stay.

Animators are just beautiful! all the time they will take something: gymnastics, aqua aerobics, darts, volleyball, etc. In the evening there are always dances, competitions, shows ...they will offer to go to the club.

The hotel does not reach 4, but 3 is not enough for him ...I would give somewhere 3.7 !! ! I liked everything!!!

Thanks for a great vacation!

Everything is fine, this is not the first time I have rested in this body. We check into almost the same rooms, with cleaning, service, everything is fine with us. As such, there is no territory, but very close to the sea, for me this is the most important thing, but I don’t need the territory. If you want to ride roller coasters, this is not the place. … More ▾ Everything is fine, this is not the first time I have rested in this body.

This is for those who need the sea, and the nightlife is good outside the hotel. Some of the shops that are nearby are closed, but you can find it. The hotel does not pour liters of beer, this is a budget hotel, normal for your money.

The pool was not heated, the beach was a little small, the hotel itself was small and was full, quite crowded.

It is very close to the sea about 50 meters. As for the troika, the food is delicious. I can advise you to take a ticket not to Layalina, but to the Resort, it’s quieter there, the building is newer, it was recently renovated and the ticket will be 20% cheaper, the distance to the sea is not significant and you can use the infrastructure of both hotels, I mean go to eat in Lailina’s restaurant.

The hotel positions itself as a three-star hotel, and somewhere it is. There are many construction small jambs, but quite tolerable, given the attitude of the Egyptians to construction in general). Flimsy doors - this is the only thing that confused me... They clean perfectly. The hotel is located in the heart of Naama Bay, on the first coastline. … More ▾ The hotel positions itself as a three-star hotel, and somewhere it is.

The hotel is located in the heart of Naama Bay, on the first coastline. When you leave the hotel, you immediately find yourself in the center of the bustling life of the city, which is very cool. There is practically no noise in the rooms from discos.

The territory of the hotel is compact, which is not so bad, everywhere is clean. In the center of the territory there is a swimming pool, the water is not heated.

The hotel has its own sandy beach, which is one minute walk from the room, a good sandy bottom, a couple of stones where colorful fish swim, you can take excursions on the beach, there are parachutes, bananas, and skis. Constantly near the shore there is a school of fish that take you into the ring at the entrance to the water. Everyone was delighted with such a chip).
By the way, many write about the smell of gasoline on the beach of this hotel - specially sniffed, not a hint. But knowing what a refined audience sometimes rests in Sharm, I am not surprised by anything. The smell of manure from the native farm probably sharpens the sense of smell like a service spaniel...

Food - I was surprised, but it's a fact, well done chefs. And after the previous 5 stars, this is amazing. Fish on skewers, chicken barbecue, beef lule, donuts, fresh croissants - that's what we ate in the first three days and I have never seen this in other hotels of a higher class. 10 points out of 10, just awesome. Sometimes there is a queue immediately after opening, but in a couple of minutes you can take what you like.

Wi-fi, like everywhere else, only at the reception, but my phone never smelled it. But people caught something... an 8 GB Orange SIM card for ten dollars removes this issue
Alcohol - everything is like everywhere else, but bottled beer and for this is another plus for this place. The bartenders are all nice, unless you're a drunken bastard or an alcoholic female mummy. Unfortunately, this hotel suffered the same trouble in the form of our compatriots. It's very shameful when 4 fat women drink 2 bottles of vodka at dinner, polish it with beer and wine and yell at the bartender for not taking a bottle of alcohol with him to the room... No racism, there are such individuals both with RB and from Ukraine, and from other post-Soviet countries.
For me personally, a huge plus is that there are no Arab vacationers in this hotel. Who faced - will understand why...
In general, if construction jambs do not hurt your eyes, I can safely recommend this hotel. And the location, and food, and prices for rest - everything is super. Just great guys!

Everything was fine in the hotel, although it is small, but on the first line. They check in, as usual, in a terrible room, then a good room appears for an additional fee. We bought the tour separately, tickets separately, so everything was very cheap for us. Food, sea, bar - everything is mega cool. We were satisfied with everything in this hotel, the staff is also good. … More ▾ Everything was fine in the hotel, although it is small, but on the first line.

There is another Cataract hotel nearby, it is bigger, newer; the territory, the restaurant of this second hotel, we could also use. The two hotels have a common beach, common sunbeds, so if there was not enough space on the territory or in the restaurant of the Layalina hotel, then you could have lunch or dinner at the restaurant of another hotel without any problems.

All the best. . . We went on the principle of "cheaper Schaub", however, we knew the Hotel from last year and saw how cataract guests are loved, groomed and cherished: evening program, gratar for dinner. . . (We were tested for strength in Le Mirage New Tyrant, but this is another story, it’s already creepy to remember, but it is located behind the wall of the layalina of cataracts). … More ▾ All the best. . .

So, we, the guys who are not spoiled by the service of Turkey (we have not been there yet), really liked the cataract! It is a fact! We ate variously and in any volumes, tried desserts, daily cleaning of the room. NO ADDITIONAL FEES AND HINTS OF THIS!!!! ! If you find fault, then yes, the stench from the pier, that is, from motorboats and ships, was nowhere without it. . . But! We knew about it beforehand! Had a rest there (nearby) a year earlier. We saw fish that we met earlier. The fauna in Egypt is simply beyond praise! We always went to the left of the beach, there is a "fish house" (they swam there a year earlier). Who goes to cataracts and doesn’t swim a little to the left, I feel sorry for you, excuse me))) okay, I confess, the repairman is a little tired, but higher, in cataracts, the charm is a little fresher, more spacious. (it so happened that at first we were settled there from 5-11, until they demanded our room in layalin according to the voucher! ))) But basically we liked it, but you don’t eat! Prices will increase))) we want to return! )))

Cons: Upon arrival at the hotel, they asked for a normal room for $ 10 a day, until they had a fight, they gave a room without a balcony and a window to the street. In bars and restaurants they give almost portioned food, you have to go several times. water 1 bottle upon check-in, then you want water in the room - pay. … More ▾ Cons: Upon arrival at the hotel, they asked for a normal room for $ 10 a day, until they had a fight, they gave a room without a balcony and a window to the street.

On the beach there is a parking of boats, boats, the smell of fuel, when you swim, watch for yourself so that they don’t run over your head. If you come to the beach after 9 am, you can not find a sun lounger.
If you took beach towels in the morning, then if you want to change them in the afternoon, then you can’t.
From the pros. The rooms themselves are good, the pool is good, the food is not bad, the sea is good, there are a lot of fish.

We planned a budget option. And what would be the sea with a sandy shore. This hotel is located on the first line. walk to the sea 1-2 minutes. We arrived at the hotel at 11.20. At the reception they gave us passports, put $ 10 in the passport so that we were given a good room and did not have to wait until 14. … More ▾ We planned a budget option.
