TL;DR
Mosquitoes are present outdoors but rarely get into hotel rooms, depending on how well the hotel is treated. No bed bugs reported. Repellent bracelets and plug-in fumigators help.
At Rixos, a guest reported not seeing any mosquitoes at all during a full week, reinforcing that conditions vary a lot by hotel.
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.
Mosquitoes and midges are present outdoors in Sharm el-Sheikh, but rarely make it into hotel rooms. No bed bugs found. Sensitivity varies — some guests get bitten a lot, others not at all.
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.
