Gafy Resort positions itself as a 4-star hotel. Windrose flew. Water and coffee were delivered on board, everything else is possible only for money. Belarusians and Russians are now flying through Ukraine. After the transfer, in the lobby of the hotel, security guards checked hand luggage, although the shoes were not forced to take off, as in the resort of Sharm El Sheikh. We are always understanding of security issues. Since we arrived at the hotel in advance, we were offered a rest as well as a drink. We were not going to give money for the settlement, because the number fund is the same. At the reception we were asked if we would be satisfied with living in a one-story house, we refused and asked for a three-story house, to which we received consent and a great room. There was no hint of gratitude. In fact, this is the second floor of a recently built house. Standard room with balcony, safe, bar fee, paid 5 pounds for a bottle of water.
Yes, there is a problem with water, you have to go to the bar for it yourself and ask to be poured into your container.
The hotel area is green, several pools, water is not heated. First line, sea nearby, water temperature up to 26, sometimes cooler. Beach sand, sunbeds at all. Entrance to the sea, it is desirable to have swimming trunks, so as not to injure your feet in the water. There are corals at the bottom and fish there, so snorkeling is possible in different places. There was almost no wind in our stay. The sun set over the mountains around 4.30 pm.

There are a lot of Italians on the beach, apparently they loved this hotel. There were Belarusians, Lithuanians, Russians, Arabs. If the Italians were mostly people of respectable age, the Arabs, young families with children.
They ate in the central building. Salads, fish and fruit were not hungry every day. Meat dishes were served in the corner and in person, whether chicken or something, once caught a quail, size (smaller cam). Fruit was once scarce, banana, pomegranate, dates.
Bought on their own for $ 1-1.5. Beer, white wine, red. You could have a snack on the beach, took out for lunch, a few dishes. There was a bar, though there was no beer, there were various chats, including alcohol, about 23 degrees, which they called depending on the color of vodka, gin, brandy or whiskey. The same was poured by the pool + beer.
Wi-Fi is paid and voraciously expensive. It is possible to catch and free, if you go towards Naama Bay. 15-20 minutes and you're there. Were mostly in the evening. Impressed by the lack of tourists, there were some local vendors on the street.
We were invited to visit Soho, there is a light fountain, dutik and respect in general. Take a minibus to the airport for about 4-5 pounds in 15 minutes. Maybe there was something here once, or there will be. Now it is a completely empty place.
I will not compare how it was in Egypt for 5-10 years to look at an abandoned hotel near Gafi.
We came to this hotel only for the sake of the blue sea with corals and fish, we had a great rest and got a lot of divination, if you have such goals for you here.
