Rested with my wife and another couple in early February 2018. Bought an all-inclusive tour for $405. for two for six nights with early arrival and late departure. Upon arrival, we managed to go to lunch, but we didn’t have time to go to the sea that day because we were tired. The room was given the usual - a large room with a shower and toilet and a balcony, and as we asked, on the second floor and without any money. Despite the fact that it is clear that the renovation was relatively long ago, the room itself is super. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is available. The room is clean, there is a small refrigerator, tea and coffee, a kettle, drinking water, a TV with cable. Large bed (+ folding extra). The bed is changed every day, despite the fact that, I think, we were not so dirty as to do this daily. Quite a large water park, which we never got into, since the main goal for us was the sea. But for kids, it's the best. We even saw a married couple who come to this hotel not for the first time, well, this is understandable, since they are with children. (Although we were very comfortable in this hotel without children). We are in Egypt for the second time. The first time we were in Nuweiba also in a five-star hotel, but we liked the sea in Sharm much more. Convenient beach, animators and the sea, which looks more like a huge aquarium, even near the shore. A lot of sun, and although they were afraid of the winds, which are much talked about in Nabq Bay at this time, four days out of seven it was practically calm.
We were also a little worried about the food, as we read in the reviews that it could be bad (in principle, there are hacks on this point who were not pleased in any hotel). But in fact, everything was excellent in this matter. I won’t say that something super exotic or exquisite was cooked there, but everything that was offered every day was varied and, I think, for every taste. To be honest, we could not try all the salads, or second courses, or everything sweet. At the same time, at the end of the rest on the Red Sea, everyone found that they had recovered.
The hotel does not have its own beach, and therefore every hour a free minibus travels to another hotel of this chain, located on the first line. Drive about 5-7 minutes. But we often walked on foot, because after a plentiful meal we wanted to walk to the beach for about 15 minutes.

I must say that the occupancy of the hotel offhand is somewhere around 15-20 percent. It's amazing how they manage to maintain an excellent level of service with so many vacationers. However, this situation seems to be now in all hotels in Egypt.
The only negative I can note is the presence of mosquitoes, which, in my opinion, in Egypt they do not know how to effectively deal with, despite all their efforts. We forgot to take the raptor, but in a couple of days we learned how to remove mosquitoes with the help of an air conditioner. But, I think, nevertheless, raptors in Egypt are a thing that is simply necessary.
In a word, if we add very friendly staff to this, then we can say that it was the seven days of communism.
