Before that, they had not been to Alupka, they bought a picture on the Internet and a few more or less positive reviews from other sites.
So, in order.
Location.
The hotel is located very far from the sea, with children it is a 15-20 minute walk to the public beach (there are several of them, packed to capacity, full of cars near the beaches). At the same time, the hotel is located on a mountain, the height difference is about 100 meters, a very steep staircase (a slope of about 80 degrees), it is dangerous for older people, especially those with heart problems, to walk up such stairs.
The view from the hotel - let's be fair, gorgeous. The sea, Ai-Petri, the panorama of Alupka, the Mikhailovsky Temple, the Vorontsov Palace, everything is in full view.
The area in front of the hotel is nothing, but most of it is crowded with cars of vacationers, the capacity is 5-6 cars, those who travel by car, keep in mind that in Alupka, tanned guys are trying to organize paid parking everywhere (an old Ukrainian fun, sent a valet - received scratched car).
Cafe and food.
Breakfast included in the price - to peck a bird. A portion of cheesecakes, or an omelet, or pancakes - from this series. If you want more, pay. A complex lunch costs 300 rubles, the quality of food is a matter of taste, for example, we didn’t like that they served chicken leg in soup with skin. Several children were poisoned by food, a doctor was called, a check came from the sanitary and epidemiological supervision. In general, from the conversations of the staff, we realized that the hotel had some problems with the chef, then he would work, then not, in the end everything was reflected in the customers.
Separately, the issue of tips. Maintenance cost - 10 percent automatically included in the bill. Although there is no service as such - the fact that they brought food to my table, for this I pay at restaurant prices. Plus, on the first day they tried to cheat by 100 rubles when we decided to order not a complex, but from the menu.
From the drinks in the cafe, tea and coffee (by the way, not bad), beer. There is no wine or spirits, although the hotel positions that you can buy wine from them.
Rooms.
The junior suite that was sold to us corresponds to the standard or economy standard in central Russia in terms of area and comfort. Yes, the room seems to have everything that is promised, but apparently we have different criteria for a junior suite with the owners of the hotel (by the way, the photos of the rooms on the site professionally mislead guests about the size of the room, in general, the hotel’s Internet promotion is cool, it would be nice to improve the service) .
The main complaint about the room is the periodic lack of water, interruptions in hot water, sometimes it’s normal, sometimes it’s a small trickle, it was turned off several times.
On the day of departure, I didn’t even manage to take a shower, the receptionist sang to us that the accident in Alupka was not their fault, I went down to Alupka, went into a cafe - there is water. That is, they try to mislead guests about their jambs, which also does not add honor to the hotel.
Cost and payment.
About 3500 per room, they prefer to pay in cash, there is a card terminal, but according to the employees, it does not work and the bank cannot properly make it work. By the way, this is a general comment on the South Coast - they don’t accept cards anywhere. Most likely, the hotels-shops themselves do not want to, because. work in the black, cashier's checks are not issued anywhere. I paid by bank transfer - they grimaced, but accepted.
Transfer to the airport - 2200, in general, this is the average price for Alupka, I managed to find for 2000.
Animation and entertainment - there was nothing like that on the territory of the hotel, although there were a lot of children resting. Wi-Fi was only at the reception, there was no room, every evening a crowd of vacationers gathered at the reception, sat with tablets, by the way, Wi-Fi constantly flew out. Were in Partenit, there is even Wi-Fi on the beach.
The general conclusion is that in terms of price-quality ratio, the hotel loses a lot to apartments of the first and second lines. Its only advantage is a beautiful view, which unfortunately does not cover the overall negative impression of the hotel.

We booked the hotel via the Internet - I liked the appearance of the hotel, photos of the rooms and the sea view.
Previously, we corresponded with the administrator Larisa Grigoryevna - she answered all the questions (and I had enough of them).
They also offered a transfer service from the airport, which we used, because. the price was very reasonable.
Upon arrival, the hotel did not disappoint: comfortable, clean rooms, pleasant staff and a wonderful view.
Of the minuses - not very comfortable shower (small and poorly regulated water pressure and temperature) and almost no wi-fi in the rooms
Garbage was cleaned every day, all requests were responded to quickly.
The hotel also offers a laundry service (for an additional fee).
The hotel area is quite small, but well decorated - a lot of greenery, a small fountain.
The hotel has a cafe - they cook well, but not everything from the menu is available. Waiting for an order is smoothed out by a wonderful view - the tables are also on the street, under a "canopy" of grapes.
The road to the beach is quite long (15-20 minutes), and back also up a rather steep mountain, but not deadly))
In general, I liked the hotel, if we are going to Alupka again, we will stop again.

You have to walk to the sea. 15-20 walking steps, you also need to walk, it's good for health and breathe clean air We really liked it, next year we will definitely return to this hotel!! ! I recommend you have a nice holiday!

On the recommendation of friends, we decided to spend the May holidays in the Forest. . the first impression when we booked - we were puzzled why Alexandra Leonidovna, who is also a vacation booking and manager, very persistently offered us for some reason not her hotel, but a hotel in Semeiz. . . upon arrival, we realized that she just wanted to offer us a more comfortable stay because Forest was not ready to receive guests for the May holidays. … More ▾ On the recommendation of friends, we decided to spend the May holidays in the Forest. . the first impression when we booked - we were puzzled why Alexandra Leonidovna, who is also a vacation booking and manager, very persistently offered us for some reason not her hotel, but a hotel in Semeiz. . . upon arrival, we realized that she just wanted to offer us a more comfortable stay because Forest was not ready to receive guests for the May holidays. . It began with the fact that it was very difficult to park - a very small parking lot, there were more cars than the hotel could accommodate, water was intermittent, there was not enough hot water. . if the neighbors bathed in the room, then the other neighbors swam the next day. . comfort. . The food in the cafe is not very tasty and they always brought cold food and waited a very long time. . but we adapted and went to dinner at the Karamba cafe in the center. . in the rooms for 5 days of rest - they didn’t take out the garbage and the toilet was initially washed with poor quality - there was a smell; at the reception they couldn’t tell us anything - they answered that they had recently been working and didn’t know anything yet, there were simply no excursions in the hotel. Advice to the owner - you need to appreciate yourself, your ideas and your work and select an active, knowledgeable, smiling staff. . . because the idea of ​ ​ ​ ​ building the hotel is good, and the view is simply gorgeous. . Would you like a pool!! !

Dear tourists, before booking a vacation through Booking. Com, carefully study the rules for booking hotels and the procedure for paying in case of cancellation of a reservation. It’s bad that tourists allow themselves to write false reviews - the hotel administrator is stress-resistant and polite with tourists. … More ▾ Dear tourists, before booking a vacation through Booking.

Faced with a similar situation, as Yulia described. My husband and I arrived at the hotel, having previously booked it on the Internet and leaving a credit card number. The rooms that we booked were not available and we were offered 2 rooms, others, but given the fact that we stayed for 2 days, we would have to move from one room to another 2 times. … More ▾ Faced with a similar situation, as Yulia described.

The rooms that we booked were not available and we were offered 2 rooms, others, but given the fact that we stayed for 2 days, we would have to move from one room to another 2 times. we refused. We asked the administrator about the refusal of the room and we were told that the money would not be withdrawn. We spent half a day trying to find another hotel. After 3 days from that moment, we received an SMS on our phone that the Forest Hotel wanted to withdraw 1380 UAH from our card, but because the full amount was not on the account, they withdrew the entire amount that was on the card at that time. We began to call the hotel to sort out the situation, what was the matter with us, the administrator began to yell obscenities and hang up. We could not get the phone number of the director from her, nor any actions to return money to the card. Now we are going to contact the police, the department for combating economic crimes, because the administrator at the workplace simply stole money from us! And ruined our vacation!

Booked the hotel through booking. com. Just in case, sent an e-mail, requested parking. They immediately told me that everything was OK. Road 1000 km by car. I arrived. The administrator made blue eyes and said that there were no empty seats. While I was sorting it out, several residents indignantly asked when there would be water. … More ▾ Booked the hotel through booking. com. Just in case, sent an e-mail, requested parking.

The hotel has a cozy cafe, delicious homemade food. The ascent to the hotel is certainly steep, but everything is smoothed out by a panoramic view of the sea and Mount Ai-Petri. In the mornings from the balcony you can admire the beautiful sunrise and dolphins. It is a pity that the vacation ended quickly, but we hope to come again and again to the Forest. thank you for a wonderful holiday. Kseniya
