You can evaluate the same things in different ways, depending on the taste, purpose of the trip, travel experiences and other parameters, but I will try to point out only objective things:
hotel pluses:
1. Sea, coast
The shore is gentle, you can swim for children from the shore, you can completely do without bathing shoes
Warm sea.
Bay, no wind.
The coral is quite decent so that even those who cannot swim contemplate the fish.
2. Comfortable spacious rooms with a very comfortable bed, the furniture is well thought out.
3. Enough good water in the taps and on the beach under the shower (no smell of bleach)
4. Proximity of Israel and Jordan.
5. Beach towels can be changed throughout the day.
Minuses:
1. Just a huge number of mosquitoes in the room, in the hotel lobby, on the street. They are poisoned daily, but they are more alive than all the living.

I asked other hotel guests, the alignment turned out to be something like this: 50% said that mosquitoes bite them, 50% said that there were no mosquitoes in the room. My opinion is that mosquitoes are in the ventilation shafts of individual risers.
I had not ten, but a hundred of them in my room. Like a pasture next to a swamp. The raid, bought at the Hilton marketplace, did not help, only 2 raids turned on at the same time somehow let me sleep 2-3 hours a night.
For the same reason, you can’t sit on the balcony, and you won’t take a walk in the evening.
2. There is a mosque nearby, and in the morning at 4-50 a call to prayer is very audible. I had a room with a view of the mountains and a playground, perhaps from the sea the audibility is lower.
3. Ducks. Very funny, but it was funny to watch them quack in a crowd of 10 under the windows from the Sea-side at 7-15 in the morning. Although this is not a minus, it's funny. They do not quack there every day : ))))
4. The service is "not intrusive" : )) Tea spoons in the restaurant are plastic, saucers for tea are often missing, in the bar they often don't give tea saucers either.
There are no greens (dill, parsley), fruits, vegetables, no frills. Ordinary buffet, something to "ah" - was not.
4. A cockroach was spotted near the bread in the restaurant in the morning.
5. One of the bartenders in the restaurant (the older one) sticks his finger into the glass before pouring wine into it.
The napkin with which you wipe the persimmon turns out to be dirty.
I think for these reasons, many had an upset stomach.
6. The territory of the hotel does not have a single shop.
7. Didn't find cabanas on the beach.
8. Toilets on the beach and in the hotel are not very clean.
And one more thing: it is from those living in the Movenpick and Hilton hotels that a fee is charged after visiting Israel in the amount of about 100 pounds (15-17 dollars).
From tourists Hayat, Marriott, Intercontinental, Nuweiba fee is not charged.
The contingent is 95-98% of the former USSR, a little Poles, a little Czechs, you can periodically find Germans.
At a certain period, many Muslims come (most likely from Palestine). Then the alignment is 75/25%.

Can't recommend this hotel. For those who need a gentle entrance to the sea, I would advise you to go to Hilton Nkweiba, and who can enter the sea from the pontoon - hotels nearby (Hayat, Intercontinental, Sofitel, etc. )
And you don’t have to pay a fee, and the service is much higher (I was in the named hotels myself).
Have a great holiday everyone!
