from 10.10. 14 to 12.10. 14 he rested in the Literary Fund. I must say that this was not my first visit to this boarding house. Last time I liked everything and it was pretty worthy. Therefore, when the conversation again turned on where to go to relax for the weekend with friends, the choice naturally fell on the Literary Fund. On the day of arrival on October 10, having received the keys to my 412 room, I, satisfied and tired, went to put myself in order. Everything was good so far. After dinner, returning to the room, I saw a whole “sea” of water in the bathroom. Indeed, there was a lot of water, only that it did not overflow through the interior threshold. Immediately contacted the front desk to the administrator with a request to eliminate this disgrace. I was promised that they would do everything. And with a calm soul I went for a walk, returning after a walk, to my horror I found that the picture in my room had not changed, the water had not changed as it was and it was. It was already the evening before dinner, I again turned to the administrator with a description of my problem and a request to fix it. To which I again received a promise that a maid would be sent to my 412 room. Hoping for the decency of the staff, I again went to enjoy my vacation. Returned to the room after midnight and do not believe it again in the bathroom, nothing has changed. Here my indignation knew no bounds, but since I am a cultured and patient person. Again I went to the administrator, who was not there. I rang the bell at the front desk, but the receptionist didn't come out. On the contrary, a man came out from a dark corner with an iron rod in his hands and, patting it on his other hand, asked what I wanted. I replied that I wanted to see the administrator. To which he replied that she was sleeping. The man answered the request to wake the administrator with rudeness, but then the administrator woke up to the noise and came to her workplace. She asked me why I was unhappy. It took me to state the essence of my problem again. The answer was received that the maid was sent to my room and allegedly cleaned everything. I was asked to go together to my room so that the receptionist would make sure that my bathroom was full of water and no one cleaned it. The administrator refused me this and began to be frankly rude. A security guard, an elderly man, ran up to this noise and began to provoke me into a fight, pulling on my sleeve and pushing me away from the reception desk. Threats to call the police rained down on me, I did not mind and suggested that the staff of the boarding house do it. Then another employee of the boarding house came running to our cries, as it turned out later, it was a plumber. Which I have so long and in vain asked to be sent to my room. He agreed to come with me to the room together. The breakdown was fixed in 2 minutes. After we went back to the hall, the maid was finally found, who nevertheless was sent to my room and cleaned the bathroom. This incident was almost over. But I was very struck by the complete failure of the staff to fulfill their duties and terrible rudeness. I won't go back to this hostel and I won't recommend it.

Literary Fund - terrible staff, disgusting Sha (u) mahovich! Everyone has already said about the price-quality ratio here (the price is unreasonably high, the food is terrible, miserable, not equipped territory). But most importantly, people, you can ignore the shortcomings if you are greeted with a soul, and Abkhazia is the country of the soul, at least this is the main advertising slogan.

It’s somehow not logical when you come to rest and encounter such outright rudeness and arrogance... The Literary Fund is not only a legacy of communism in buildings, this same communist level of service, rudeness, rudeness, lack of service! Dear Abkhazians, why don't you appreciate the Russian tourists who feed YOU?? ? Russian tourists, because no one else will come to you for a very long time, and with such a "Shamokhov" attitude, less and less of us will come . .

We went to Abkhazia with children. It's hard to call it a comfortable stay. What is left of the Soviet Union is mercilessly exploited. there is nothing new. Much has already been written in previous reviews I will not repeat myself, I will write the most vivid impressions.
1. DISCO is right next to the cellar, i. e. under the windows of all buildings. Until midnight, the music rumbles, you won’t fall asleep. we lived on the 11th floor in a corner junior suite. despite the height it is very loud.
2. EQUIPMENT of the room. one of the balcony doors did not lock. We wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for a hurricane one night. the door opened, clapped in general that night we hardly slept.
3. FOOD. The buffet system is used all over the world to reduce the cost of serving visitors by waiters. At the same time, the load on the kitchen increases, because. need to cook more variety of dishes. In Soviet boarding houses, there were no problems with waiters, so the cook prepared one menu for everyone and the waiters served at the service. The literary fund came up with their own version: the waiters do not wear, the cook does not cook!
BREAKFAST table of salads four bowls of cabbage with peas, simple cabbage, simple peas. corn (on other days, about the same range). a table of hot four food warmers and two with soup and porridge. in food warmers, for example, dumplings (store soy, it is not possible to eat, such as RUSSIAN HIT), pancakes, vegetables stewed in oil and buckwheat. Always drink only cold water, tea, instant coffee. all no juices no fruit drinks nothing.
LUNCH all the same cabbage salads in different variations: cabbage with carrots, cabbage with beets, cabbage with red cabbage, cabbage with dill, etc. from cabbage for lunch 5-6 salads. besides this, on different days there were a type of vinaigrette, olivier without meat. For hot soup again or porridge, buckwheat pasta (I never thought that boiled pasta could be spoiled, but this is not possible), two hot meats, sometimes stewed pork, sometimes chicken scraps called chakhokhbili, sometimes cutlets from solid fat. everything is very oily. drinking ATTENTION: WARM COMPOTE to my question why it is warm, why it is impossible to cook cold in the heat, I received an honest answer as they cooked it and brought it.
DINNER in the same repertoire. for dinner they give a glass of homemade wine. tried it once, didn't risk it again, mumbling of unknown origin. Despite the fact that in a bar a glass of a factory bottle costs 80 rubles, it makes no sense to take risks at all.
4. POOL The pool is directly opposite the dining area. but it is filled with just water there is no chemistry. it seems fine, but in the heat on the third day it blooms so that it is no longer possible to swim in it. management understands this too, so they regularly change the water
As a result, the first day the water is poured, by the evening the pool is half full, in the morning it is full, but the water is very cold. even adults don’t swim (although it looks very beautiful, blue clear water. at this moment the pool is photographed for all booklets) the second day the water warmed up everyone bathes the third day the water is so green that no one dares to swim. the fourth day the pool is drained, the bath is washed, and they begin to pour cold cold water again.
in general, everyone bathes in the sea.
5. ANIMATION for children is not bad, but monotonous. Every evening they take out a tape recorder with speakers and the children jump around popsyatinka.
there is a children's room where children under 3 years old in the presence of their parents, and older than three can play toys on their own.
6. The SEA is something that even Abkhazians cannot spoil. it's wonderful. The entrance to the sea pebbles are quite large and unpleasant. save Egyptian slippers for walking on the reef. or just rubber slippers. Free plastic sunbeds.
7. CAFE catering is very wonderful. There are three cafes on the territory, which belong to the same owner. during the day it is juices, water, wine, beer, in the evening + kebabs. tried to somehow have lunch but no, kebabs only after six in the evening (??? )
another time we dined at the cafe "Komarik" the name is very accurate. mosquitoes are the most there. ATTENTION NEVER EAT ANYTHING AT KOMARIK CAFE. the food was disgusting 300 grams of barbecue (knowing the peculiarities of the Abkhaz scales, I immediately ordered two servings of 150 grams each, it’s not very expensive and I decided for myself that it’s better than proving to the waiter that two pieces of meat cannot weigh 150 grams) they brought me four pieces of fried pork. fried it, apparently yesterday, or the day before yesterday. Under no circumstance can this be called a shish kebab. The kids brought pizza. an empty flatbread with onion, tomato and cheese instead of cheese. At the same time, a 20% tip is automatically added to the bill. It's called "For service" (listen, you didn't like the food, but the waitress brought you everything well - this is an argument). so by the way everywhere.
TO RESULT: YES IT IS CHEAP and probably it costs so much, but I don’t like to relax like that.
I will definitely not go to Abkhazia in the next 10 years

People, do not throw away money, who have absolutely nowhere to go - it's better to sit in your country house than there. three minuses - 1. Abkhazia 2. Pitsunda 3. Literary fund In order - Abkhazia - it is necessary to demand from our government to introduce a mandatory visa regime for entry and exit. For those who stupidly applied for a visa, and oblige consuls to explain within a 40-minute interview what this former Soviet of Deputies is like with devastation, dirt and eternal whining of gloomy Abkhazians that Russia does not give them money (for what to give them if no one wants to work and is not going to work).

People, do not throw away money, who have absolutely nowhere to go - it's better to sit in your country house than there.
three minuses -
1. Abkhazia
2. Pitsunda
3. Literary fund
In order - Abkhazia - it is necessary to demand from our government to introduce a mandatory visa regime for entry and exit. For those who stupidly applied for a visa, and oblige consuls to explain within a 40-minute interview what this former Soviet of Deputies is like with devastation, dirt and eternal whining of gloomy Abkhazians that Russia does not give them money (for what to give them if no one wants to work and is not going to work). The prices for everything are still higher than in Moscow, all products are Sochi-Krasnodar-Ukrainian, everything has been launched....in general, the same village, the only difference is that palm trees are also growing.
Pitsunda is a village, it seems that there are 100-150 people alive, after 1.00 almost everything is closed, the reason is that it’s not the season, no one comes anyway, no one buys anything, why keep the shops open. Locals rub against large boarding houses, trying to get acquainted with visitors in order to drag them to their private sector. Around the cows, horses, which are not driven even at night, and at night these animals can lie right on the road. Of their vegetables - only radishes and parsley with cilantro, tomatoes-cucumbers - only imported from Krasnodar, there seem to be no vegetable gardens there at all, well, how about it - you need to take care of it, but what kind of "normal" Abkhaz will bend over once again, they independent... There is nowhere to go at all - no walks, no clubs, even cafes, almost all are closed - not the season))) (in May).
The Literary Fund - the room is still so-so, they clean it cleanly, they even managed to keep the parquet "a la Khrushchev" in the rooms. Respect to the Donetsk manufactory, the towels are good - they wash them thoroughly, even traces of some kind of powder are visible everywhere. It can be seen that they know how to wash, but they have not yet learned how to rinse clothes. Armavir - make better toilet paper, otherwise the Literary Fund will be dishonored because of you. The food - obviously, is adjusted to our unfortunate blockade grandmothers, who go there due to the fact that this state partially pays them - so that they do not have an extra heart attack from the onset of capitalism, they (well, everyone else) will be treated with barley barley, familiar to the blockade porridge, pearl barley, chicken stomachs and bones with scraps of meat. The main difference is that they give plenty of bread and buns. Thank you for not hanging on grams - probably, this is in their understanding of the "buffet".
Their security was especially "gifted" - I had a case when for THREE HOURS from 2 a. m. to 5 a. m. three Abkhazians, local drunk employees, stood under the windows and yelled such obscenities that their ears were bent, but the administration did not care - the local guard was simply afraid to disperse them, and then in the morning, when they began to walk around and complain about the night noise, local women were on duty near the director's office, took people aside and persuaded them not to go to complain - like the security guard would be fired, but where else would he find a job. Of course, their drunken neighbor in the village is more important to them than guests. In addition, all the personal passport data that you provide at the reception become known to any outsider if you wish - I was personally told about me by everyone to an outsider whom we met in Gagra, he jokingly promised to come to visit us at the Literary Fund, while we told him they didn’t even give their names, we just live in the Literary Fund. What a surprise it was when he really came to the Literary Fund, but he didn’t just stumble upon us, but he came up, already knowing what city we were from, room number and full name..... Horror.
There was devastation on the territory of the hotel, in May they just came to their senses and on the 20th (they had a check from their superiors), they began to burn last year's leaves and branches on the beach, people with children were sunbathing there. Local "horse breeders" walk on the beach on their horses - you yourself understand what remains on the beach after their walks. The maids (6th and 8th floors) rub local wine - they bring it from home, they sell it to our grandmothers. In addition to the usual excursions, the hanging around local Abkhazians also impose a sea cruise on their cars to Ritsa, Gagra, (it is clear that all this money is put in their pocket with a kickback to the leadership of the Literary Fund), and they stick more actively to those who are in Abkhazia for the first time , is also lost and is ready to get to Gagra for 600 rubles.
Hungry dogs walk around, the locals beat them, yell at them, all this in front of the children who are trying to play with them. . .
The guides are banal, a summary of any where you go: the length of the Pitsunda pine needles is 20-25 cm, the mountains are made of karst rock, the population of Abkhazia is 210.000 people, and there is no production, because Russia does not help them in any way and arranges an economic blockade. Everyone whines, the last Abkhaz believes that Russia owes them something, and if we don’t like something, then they cannot give us something, because they themselves lack funding. When you ask how much money they need to remove the terrible withered leaves in the park of the Prince of Oldenburg or tighten 2 nuts on the stairs to the pool so that it does not stagger, they blink their eyes and give out the last argument "and we had a war" (15 years ago, who does not know - 92-93gg)....
There is no animation in May, on the 27th a girl and a guy arrived - instead of animation they arranged a patriotic concert with Abkhaz songs and 1 dance... a la “how I love Abkhazia”, which, against the general background of devastation and hungry stray dogs, would look comical if it wasn't so sad. . .
In general, mostly Sochi residents go there - they have an hour of travel time by car - and swim on a cleaner beach than theirs in the city, and Krasnodar residents - they have 5 hours by train with children - and also the sea and the beach. Who cares - go ahead,
and who is ready to pay 2.000 per day for everything + 6.000 for an air ticket, or spend two days on a train -....don't be the same fools as we are - go to Lazarevskoye, Tuapse, etc. at least you won't chew other people's snot with problems.
And if someone has already been to Turkey-Egypt-Tunisia - don’t go at all, it’s too bitter a striking contrast, then it’s very insulting for your hard-earned money.

Rested in Litfont in the first half of October. In general, the impression is negative. First of all, we were not lucky with the weather, so all the bumps and roughness of the service, which you look through your fingers in the bright sun and calm sea, were felt very sharply.

Rested in Litfont in the first half of October. In general, the impression is negative. First of all, we were not lucky with the weather, so all the bumps and roughness of the service, which you look through your fingers in the bright sun and calm sea, were felt very sharply. I'll try to list the pros and cons in order.
+ the maid Lily kept order in the room (we lived in a new building, third floor). Here, without any complaints, all wishes were immediately fulfilled (cleaning, change of linen and towels). I can't say anything other than thank you.
-+ dining room (we ate in a regular hall, not in a VIP). Here, against the backdrop of a variety of a generally good buffet, the obvious use of yesterday's leftovers was jarring (for example, there was pasta for dinner - the leftovers are mixed with cottage cheese - oops - it turns out a morning casserole, or, for example, half-eaten salted rice in the evening - voila - the same They gave chicken - the vacationers chose all the meaty pieces from it - tomorrow there will be stewed vegetables with these leftovers). For meat and fish cutlets, I recommend that you first sniff carefully - behind the stunning spicy aromas, sometimes light notes of rottenness are hidden. I ate fish cutlets - I felt sick. But evening kefir is very tasty. In general, I read reviews for previous years - they complained about the lack of dairy. This year, every day - milk porridge, for breakfast - hot milk (although not at all fatty, but it went well with tea), sour cream. For dinner - the aforementioned kefir. In general, from what is, you can choose and eat normally.
- - - - I was struck by a huge number of stray cats and dogs, apparently there is no fence. Naturally, vacationers, especially those with children, feed them. Then, apparently, the leadership catches on and tells the servants to "clear the territory of an undesirable element. " We lie on the beach with friends, with children and observe the picture - the caretaker of the beach drags a grown puppy on a noose. By joint efforts they recaptured, they thought, he would not recover, he would die. He survived, but for how long... Another dog was killed, surrounded by a crowd of healthy men on the pier (accidentally looked in, only heard a dying screech - they immediately hid it and did not answer questions). And all this horror and knackering - in front of everyone. The kitten's jaw was broken with a kick and an eye was knocked out (the process itself, thank God, was not seen, but it was painful to look at the poor animal). The son was in shock, cried, still remembers ((((
- as I already wrote, we were not lucky with the weather, we really hoped for animation. BUT. The film was never shown (although the list of services included in the price of the ticket at the reception includes daily film screenings), the evening performances were also somehow blown away.
- very loud music in cafes on the beach. Special went to see - who lights up until one in the morning in October in the cold. It turned out that at best three or four people crumpled on the dance floor. The administration of the boarding house, apparently, does not give a damn about the peace of mind of customers (I remind you that the velvet season is the time of rest for pensioners and families with children, it’s hard not to sleep and listen to raskolbas until one in the morning).
Well, that's all I wanted to write. There is no more desire to go to the Literary Fund. Although I liked Abkhazia madly - the nature is luxurious, the sea and air are the cleanest, the people are friendly, the wine - wow)))
+ the maid Lily kept order in the room (we lived in a new building, third floor). Here, without any complaints, all wishes were immediately fulfilled (cleaning, change of linen and towels). I can't say anything other than thank you.
-+ dining room (we ate in a regular hall, not in a VIP). Here, against the backdrop of a variety of a generally good buffet, the obvious use of yesterday's leftovers was jarring (for example, there was pasta for dinner - the leftovers are mixed with cottage cheese - oops - it turns out a morning casserole, or, for example, half-eaten salted rice in the evening - voila - the same They gave chicken - the vacationers chose all the meaty pieces from it - tomorrow there will be stewed vegetables with these leftovers). For meat and fish cutlets, I recommend that you first sniff carefully - behind the stunning spicy aromas, sometimes light notes of rottenness are hidden. I ate fish cutlets - I felt sick. But evening kefir is very tasty. In general, I read reviews for previous years - they complained about the lack of dairy. This year, every day - milk porridge, for breakfast - hot milk (although not at all fatty, but it went well with tea), sour cream. For dinner - the aforementioned kefir. In general, from what is, you can choose and eat normally.
- - - - I was struck by a huge number of stray cats and dogs, apparently there is no fence. Naturally, vacationers, especially those with children, feed them. Then, apparently, the leadership catches on and tells the servants to "clear the territory of an undesirable element. " We lie on the beach with friends, with children and observe the picture - the caretaker of the beach drags a grown puppy on a noose. By joint efforts they recaptured, they thought, he would not recover, he would die. He survived, but for how long... Another dog was killed, surrounded by a crowd of healthy men on the pier (accidentally looked in, only heard a dying screech - they immediately hid it and did not answer questions). And all this horror and knackering - in front of everyone. The kitten's jaw was broken with a kick and an eye was knocked out (the process itself, thank God, was not seen, but it was painful to look at the poor animal). The son was in shock, cried, still remembers ((((

In October of this year, we again went to the Literary Fund for the third time in a row. Previous years the weather in October was fabulous, alas, this year, out of 12 days, only 3 were sunny, rainy, hail, storm. This of course greatly spoiled the mood, but the rest itself was not a success. Junior suite could not be booked, although they tried to book already in April.

In October of this year, we again went to the Literary Fund for the third time in a row. Previous years the weather in October was fabulous, alas, this year, out of 12 days, only 3 were sunny, rainy, hail, storm. This of course greatly spoiled the mood, but the rest itself was not a success. Junior suite could not be booked, although they tried to book already in April. They took a suite - I really asked for it to be higher. Arrived-overlay. For some reason, we were expected three days later. But temporarily for these three days we were provided with a 3-room suite on the 11th floor. The view from it is fabulous. But the room itself is certainly modest for a suite. But we didn't have any complaints about it. Then we were settled in a 2-room suite on the 12th floor. At first I was shocked by the behavior of the girl at the reception. She said that we should check out before 12 and then move into our suite after 14! That is, two hours to sit on the suitcases? ? I made arrangements with the maid myself. This "statue" at the reception did not even move.
And such an indifferent, disregarding attitude towards us - vacationers - from the side of the administration, I have observed more than once! Someone already wrote here - all these girls must either be taught or kicked out! When I looked around the "suite", I came to a quiet horror. There was absolutely no water pressure in the bidet, the toilet had an unpleasant smell, the shower did not stay in the rack, there was no overhead light in the bathroom! There was no hanger rod in the closet! The lock in the door was with a huge gap and all dangling! TV was not tuned at all! The bed mattress was so worn out that you could feel the springs. I gave the list of claims to the reception. True, we must pay tribute - they worked quickly. An hour later, a whole team was working in our room. And in principle, everything was eliminated (well, except for the mattress). The maid said she'd get it. Of course, I feel sorry for her, but, excuse me, she didn’t see this before during the cleaning? ? ? shower, bidet, light, closet??? ! ! why should I do this?
About the dining room. Here they praise the kitchen . . alas . .
Last year we lived in the standard and paid extra to eat in the vip after I collapsed with indigestion from undercooked pancakes. Everything about vip was great! They gave wine not only homemade, but also bottled - this year this has never happened! ! ! There was caviar, boiled tongue and much more. For breakfast, we were baked the thinnest pancakes. This year, everything has become much worse - the crepe maker was completely removed after our questions! The waitresses are wonderful! These are probably the best employees of the boarding house.
Yes, the beach pleased, more sunbeds. Although it was necessary to sunbathe a little.
Now animation. Alas, 3 years ago it was great! And professional dancers, there is nothing to say about Dalida with her oriental dances! And everything was led by Larisa, who held wonderful competitions - she especially liked karaoke! This year, only the fire show and pleased. Everything else is the level of amateur performance! The disco music was terrible! Argued with the DJ!
Normal music was playing in all the cafes, and we had two stomps, three slams!
For all the time of rest there was not a single movie show ! ! For the first time in 3 years, the ensemble "Ritsa" did not come!
But the worst was later. Seminars and conferences have begun. First alone, then the trade unions, and then the directors themselves. And everything would be fine - the owners came, but, sorry, we paid a lot of money for our vacation! But when during breakfast the waitresses are busy serving these "clients", when they stopped making coffee for us, I was indignant! And then we came to dinner and found out that they were having a banquet, and we were thrown into the common room with a handout in the form of homemade fermented wine and pastries! And what is the difference between VIP food?
And it was very unpleasant to feel like strangers at the celebration of life, when the whole company was entertained by the Gagra ensemble, a saxophonist and a local singer. Does that mean we don't need to be entertained?
Yes, in such weather it was necessary to be more active in dealing with people!
Many people, whom we met there not for the first time, have been coming here for more than 5 years. So after such an attitude to us, everyone said, we will not go here again!
I love Abkhazia very much, but next time I will go anywhere, but not to the Literary Fund!

We rested in the family building of the boarding house "Literary Fund" (bought a last-minute tour in 1956 per person per day). The room justified its cost, there is nothing to complain about: air conditioning, 2 beds, refrigerator, TV, table and 2 chairs. Towels were changed as needed (they put them on the floor in the bathroom), bed linen was changed 2 times.

We rested in the family building of the boarding house "Literary Fund" (bought a last-minute tour in 1956 per person per day). The room justified its cost, there is nothing to complain about: air conditioning, 2 beds, refrigerator, TV, table and 2 chairs. Towels were changed as needed (they put them on the floor in the bathroom), bed linen was changed 2 times. The maid and staff are friendly. As the shower broke - it was repaired after 40 minutes. The territory of the boarding house is well-groomed, well-lit with lanterns, it is pleasant to take a walk in the evening. Children's animation was every evening, the children ran like funny (there are none of their own yet, so it seems : )). The food was frustrating: veal and pork came across rarely and in extremely small pieces and exclusively in stewed vegetables or pilaf. Separately, it was possible to find only chicken and fish (they fried alternately sole and something like mint), 2 times there was a boiled heart. For meat lovers, the only way out is to buy barbecue on the territory of the Literary Fund or a neighboring boarding house. 1 skewer - 200 rub. , small grilled trout - 250 rubles. It is advisable to eat ice cream before a vacation - next to a boarding house, a quality ice cream costs only 40 rubles of an Eskimo USSR, they don’t sell cheaper analogues in cups, only terribly vegetable. It's good that it happened just before departure. When I saw that someone was sliding off my bun and tried to the last to believe that it was an ant... big and bloated, but an ant or a bug... but it was him....Cockroach! Since nothing like this had been noticed before and the waitresses look neat, I decided to quietly report this fact to the administration... this is what came of it: in the administrative building they told me that they did not consider such issues and sent me to the administrator in the dining room. Approaching the administrator, I waited for the vacationers to leave so as not to spoil anyone's vacation and quietly said that they had cockroaches. The answer is a smile. I thought that she had not heard and repeated, to which she looked at me like I was a fool and said: “Who doesn’t have them? ” and that smile again. I was extremely surprised and asked: “So you know that you have cockroaches and do nothing? ”. To which she again received an appropriate look and in an already dissatisfied voice: “Well, we sometimes poison them” and that’s all, only this smile again... Fruits: if you remember the wonderful Abkhazian peaches - forget it! They sell only Turkish and for 120-110 rubles (at the Cossack market in Adler they cost 60-70), Armenian grapes - 90 (Cossack market - 70). In the dining room of the literary fund of fruits - apples cut off on all sides (which are sold at a discount in the markets) and oranges cut into circles (they sometimes came across sweet). 1 massage procedure in a boarding house costs 1500, Charcot's shower - 150 rubles, but the shower is only after 16.00. Naturally, we went for the sake of the clear sea and magnificent nature, which we remember from the previous trip. The beach is almost clean, the water in the sea is also clear when the sea is not worried. There are not many jellyfish, the fish are small and rare. But the attitude of employees to vacationers was very upset: the territory for water entertainment is not fenced off in any way. Employees do not monitor safety... not quite sober and not quite well-mannered men got into the habit of riding a jet ski. As a result, every day they swam close to the shore, and started talking with friends and not really, apparently trying to show their "coolness". When they talked, the engine was not turned off, as a result, the entire coastal strip was covered with yellow oily foam. Naturally, in order to swim closer, they maneuvered between the heads of bathers and children (!!! ). I passed by an employee when 2 Russian women asked not to let such men behind the motorcycle, or at least move the motorcycle parking lot away from the bathing area. To which the employee said that he was not responsible for this and sent them to another person. After about 30 minutes, I was walking back, this employee was talking to the one to whom he sent the Russian women and told him the phrase: "these have already grumbled. " Until we left there, the administration of the boarding house did not take absolutely no measures to prevent violations of safety regulations. On a parachute ride on the seashore costs 1200, for two 1700. How much a banana cost there and did not ask. We took 4 excursions to nature, traveled from Mza to Ritsa, visited Gagra and 2 Stalin's dachas, numerous waterfalls. When we left, we accidentally got from the tasting room, the employees did not kick us out, they did not demand any payment. 2. On a trip to Lake Ritsa, the guide said: let's go with you to Stalin's dacha, you will give me 300 rubles per person, but then you won't tell anyone. 3. As part of an excursion to the Athos caves, we were supposed to be taken to a monastery located on a hill. At the foot of the hill, the guide said: the bus should not go there, according to the plan, you have to go there on foot, BUT we can take you there for an additional 30 rubles per person! I said that the program did not say anything about this, and during the time allotted for the tour, we would be able to walk there ourselves or take a walk in the city, since the monastery does not interest us. …. We climbed the hill along a well-paved road for about 8 minutes, did not pass a single checkpoint, no one stopped and did not take money for the fare. The only one who collected the money was our guide. 4. It does not apply to guides, more to the local population: 3 years ago it was possible to buy wine during excursions, tasty and homemade. And when they sold, they praised their. Now they are not so much praising their own as slandering their neighbors, the rest of the wine sellers. A very unfortunate wine was bought from a very nice woman: aggravation of gastritis occurred from 1 glass. Then I talked with Russian tourists, it turns out that for several years in Abkhazia it is almost impossible to buy high-quality homemade wine. Many experienced tourists in Abkhazia now buy only factory wine. At one of the waterfalls, a local resident offered to hold a horn in his hands, supposedly with wine. When I wanted to give him 10 rubles for a photograph on our camera, he raised a terrible cry demanding 100 rubles. Since the not very friendly faces of his comrades were peeking out from behind him, it was time to give 50…. Honey: honey on excursions was sold for 300 rubles / 0.5 liters for regular honey, 350 rubles / 0.5 liters for chestnut. In the Odenburgsky park, prices are cheaper, but strange honey. We bought from the locals a very tasty chestnut and not burning for 800r / 1.5l. 5. On all excursions, local guides say that they are happy when Russian tourists come and spend their money. 6. One of the excursions was very difficult from 7.30 until late at night and ended with a picnic on the way back. There was nothing on the table except wine, and the tired tourists naturally got drunk for the most part. The guides hardly drank, and when they got back on the bus, they began to entertain drunken tourists and themselves having fun with it. It got to the point that they offered drunken Russian women to dance in the aisles between the chairs at full speed. This sight looked disgusting. How can they respect us and not milk us for money if Russian men are clapping when their drunken wives are dancing in the aisles? Summing up the sad results, I would still like to wish the inhabitants of Abkhazia not to go too far and be more correct in expressions and attitude towards the Russians. Of course, we understand that money is needed for reconstruction after the war, but Russian citizens who really earn money do not go to Abkhazia, and those who go are not particularly pleasant, that they are treated like cash cows and overprice without justification.

I got acquainted with the previous reviews of those who had a rest in the Literary Fund. Yes, there is absolutely nothing to do there in winter (and in general, why go to our south in winter? Go to the equator and you will be satisfied).... Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hostel. Our room was a deluxe 2-room suite.

I got acquainted with the previous reviews of those who had a rest in the Literary Fund. Yes, there is absolutely nothing to do there in winter (and in general, why go to our south in winter? Go to the equator and you will be satisfied).... Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hostel. Our room was a deluxe 2-room suite. Everything is great. There was a little "Soviet" decoration, but everything was clean and tidy. The view from the 12th floor is amazing. Kitchen: guys, just 5 points (respectively, a luxury room). European food, meat, fish, poultry, tongue, a lot of pastries, borscht, cabbage soup. And pancakes!!!!!!!!!! ! Your children will always be full. In conversations with people who ate in the second hall, I did not find much difference. The wine that was not served at dinner, unlike them, was sour and not tasty; and there are a little more people there, but otherwise almost everything is the same. They have a problem with crossing and crossing the border. A nightmare! We stood for 2 hours in the pouring rain (so you should take an umbrella just in case). But that's how lucky. Some according to the stories passed it in 10 minutes, and others in 7 hours. The Litfond also has a problem with the pool. It functions like this: on Sunday and Monday, after draining, the pool is filled. On Tuesday it is full, but it is impossible to swim there, it is cold. On Wednesday, everyone splashes merrily there, and on Thursday it blooms. It is drained and the cycle repeats. In other words, the Litfond saves on the system of filtration, purification and chlorination. But the sea is beautiful and clean. The beach is sand and pebble. True, it’s hard to walk on pebbles, but this is a matter of habit. The cafe on the beach serves delicious food. In general, everything is fine.
