At Park Regency, guests reported no mosquitoes, and the hotel was actively spraying/treating the grounds against them during the stay.

Mosquitoes are more likely in greener hotel areas with flowers, grass, and plants, especially in the evening along paths to the sea near standard rooms. Inside rooms, only occasional strays were reported, and opening the balcony door increases the chance they fly in.

A plug-in electric mosquito repellent kept the room bite-free. Bites seen on other guests' legs outdoors were likely from tiny ants rather than mosquitoes.

Over two nights at a hotel on the Naama Bay promenade, only one mosquito got in — the balcony was kept mostly closed. Repellent wristbands bought online beforehand worked well, no bites. Hotel pest control quality makes a big difference.
