TL;DR
Nabq Bay often has strong lateral currents and red-flag warnings — swimming from the pier may be banned since the depth right underneath exceeds 30 meters; otherwise these budget hotels are reportedly clean with decent food based on recent reviews.

Near the reef by one hotel (around the Club area) swimmers complain about crowded boats and people in the water — advice is to snorkel between Piramisa and the Conti area instead, where there's less crowding for now.
