1. We chose a hotel at a ridiculous price, with a gorgeous beach, the center of Naama Bay.
We arrived at the hotel at 4.45, put on the bracelets and locked things in the storage room, settled after 13.00. They offered money for the opportunity to immediately get a room, but they did not take it. A Russian-speaking employee came up and explained that there were no free rooms at all, asked the reception to issue cards for towels, showed a changing room (I don’t know the name, but thank you very much for your attention).
2. I liked the opportunity to use the infrastructure of the Gazala Gardens hotel, except for bars and a restaurant, beautiful areas, a gorgeous clean beach with a gentle entry into the sea (I don’t swim well), there are a few fish, corals, daily provision of 1.5 liters of water in the room, free weak wai -fi at the hotel reception.

3. Room standard 335, large, normal view from the window, without repair, dead plumbing, but the water was constant. Towels were changed, cleaning was normal, there was paper. Soap and shampoo provided once. The refrigerator did not work, the workers came 2 times, but they could not fix it. There were no mosquitoes. Asked the cleaner to get rid of the mosquitoes. As he gave smoke from the chimney, they almost suffocated themselves.
4. The food is tolerable, you will not be hungry, but... Queues, they do not immediately put out all the vegetables and fruits. Tomatoes are added after a while, and not immediately. There are tangerines, oranges, but grapes, melons, guava must be kept track of when they are put and have time to "capture". The full load of the hotel, there is not enough space for everyone, the dishes are dirty, broken. You have to ask for paper napkins, there are none on the tables; tea, coffee in teapots, not stickers. Few steamed vegetables. Mackerel dry bitter. In the morning, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, pancakes, breakfast cereals with milk, puffs, yogurt, fruits, vegetables, sometimes chicken, fish. Dinner: fish, beef, chicken, cream biscuits, evening the same, only meat or fish is fried on the stove. There is a queue everywhere. From 15.00 they give out ice cream one in hand, as well as alcohol in the bar. We must go with the whole crowd.
5. I did not like the queues, the lack of paper napkins on the tables, only one salad bowl with fruits, cucumbers, tomatoes. Not all food is displayed at the same time in sufficient quantities. An Italian restaurant where you need to sign up for dinner once is rudeness, a mockery of the staff: they brought wine for free (shmurdyak from a nearby bar) and an incomprehensible pizza, on which sauce and cheese were on the edge, but they ordered with meat. The waiter runs after him, laughs and asks: "Delicious pizza? " We did not go to the second restaurant, so as not to spoil the mood. For 7-8 thousand UAH, you can close your eyes to everything and enjoy the sea perfectly, for more - absolutely not.
