Hello.
I'm going to Egypt in mid-December with my wife for the first time.
Here are some questions:
1) I read from the reviews, some blue, red flags are put in winter. Basically where the pontoons. So it's better to take a hotel with a sandy entrance?
2) I chose several hotels in Nayama Bay, but the reviews are bad and old already. The older the hotel, the less attractive it is?
3) If you sit for several hours in a tour operator, choose a room with a sea view, etc., and when you arrive, you still give "ga * but" or pay extra. Why then sit at the operator and suffer from choosing a room, or can you still book?
4) Is it possible to book a room through online booking on the website, and come from the tour operator and say that I booked separately without paying anything extra?
Many thanks to everyone who answers.

1. It all depends on the weather, perhaps there will be no such heavy winds. But it is better not to consider hotels in Nabq.
2. What hotels did you choose in Naama?
3. In most cases, agencies can only convey to the hotel your wish to live in a Sea View room, but this is not a reservation, i.e. when you check into a hotel, surprises are possible ...
4. No.

3) If you buy a Sea View room in advance at a travel agency
(it is much more expensive than a room "without a certain type"), then upon check-in they CANNOT give a room without a SEA VIEW, but administrators in many hotels try specifically to first give the WORST ROOM of all possible in your price category (even if the hotel is half empty ), so that you would come back and want a better room for a surcharge. This is not the case in all hotels, but it happens often. The cheaper the hotel, the "brighter" is expressed.
Although sometimes the opposite happens. At the Savita Hotel, we were given the best hotel room with 2 large balconies overlooking the sea without any additional payment (it was bought "without a certain type") (although we humbly waited half a day until we were accommodated - the rooms were still not ready) . I want to go to this hotel again, but I'm afraid that the second time I won't be so lucky with the room, and it's impossible to book this particular room.

A sandy entrance is optional, the main thing is that the hotel is in a bay and the hotel has a heated pool.

1. A hotel in a bay is usually less prone to waves and turbulence at sea than hotels that are just on the shore (it is in such hotels that the flags are set there, as a rule, the pontoon and immediately the depth) Consider the Sonesta Hotel and Stella di Mare in Naama.
2. the problem is not in the old age of the hotel, but in the system
renovations and maintenance, this is what is criticized for. for example, not so long ago a new building was built in Helnan Marina, although the hotel itself is a bit old.
3. if you have chosen a simple standard, a lottery awaits you upon check-in. if you have chosen a certain type, then you are waiting for a lottery with this specific type. I usually advise you to see what they give, and then decide whether to pay for the best room or not.
4. you book a room through an operator. through the website of the hotel you will never sell a certain room if you do not book it on the website.

So I meant that I will book on the hotel website.
I will arrive at the hotel from the tour operator, and in order not to f*ck with the number, I will say that I booked it, but in order not to pay for the room.

Of all the listed hotels, the Hilton is the best.
Gafi should not be considered by anyone at all, a terrible hotel.

The tour operator will already pay for you a specific room, in which you will be accommodated.
If you yourself want to book another room on the hotel website, then you will personally pay for it.

you want to say that you will buy plane tickets from the tour operator, and the hotel room? You can do that. but the tour will end up being more expensive for you than upon arrival you would give in the paw for a good room

What is the best way to proceed when moving in?
-Come and not wait 14.00 immediately give $ 15-20 for a good room.
-Or wait until 14.00 and see what number they will give and only after that go and pay extra for another room???

This is your choice. If you arrive very early, then it may be worth giving money so that you can check in and relax normally. if you arrive around 14 then maybe look at the room and then make a decision

It has already been said a hundred times that it is not necessary to give money in advance, because anyway they will first settle in the room that the tour operator will book for you. And then you go again to the reception again to pay extra a few more dollars for a nice room.

They never agreed with the tour operator with a view of the sea, it's useless, they still settle as they want .... therefore, upon arrival at the hotel, they immediately agreed at the reception, this time it cost $ 10, so don't waste time resettling ...P.S. In Egypt were 8 times everywhere the same
