The second part of my review about Georgia. This hotel, again, like the first one, was not chosen by me personally. no complaints about the hotel. everything is on the level. perhaps somewhere in Egypt they scold Reddison, but I can’t say anything bad about Batumi. location, rooms, service, etc. all at the highest level.

The second part of my review about Georgia.
This hotel, again, like the first one, was not chosen by me personally. no complaints about the hotel. everything is on the level. perhaps somewhere in Egypt they scold Reddison, but I can’t say anything bad about Batumi.
location, rooms, service, etc. all at the highest level. the hotel is new.
does not have its own territory. he is urban. beach too.
its only minus at the time of my stay (I think it has already been eliminated) - another hotel was being built nearby and the area in front of the hotel - before the observation wheel was not very aesthetic. but I think the order has already been put in place.
from what I remember from the hotel - Iveria lounge on the first floor. good music and the quality of both drinks and food, twice even Saakashvili was there with us. trifle, but nice. the bar in the lobby is also without question. By the way, you can smoke everywhere. and of course the Cloud bar on the 19th floor. the view is just magical.
Batumi at night from a bird's eye view is especially memorable. as well as a toilet, where instead of walls there is glass. you can sober up very quickly
about Batumi as a whole - this is the dream of any architect. everything is built and rebuilt. very old houses are demolished and new ones are erected in their place. more or less normal houses were painted in different colors by presidential decree. there is no dullness in the city. clean and beautiful.
singing fountains, a registry office on the water, an embankment, a Ferris wheel, thousands of cafes and restaurants. I don't know who Batumi can leave indifferent. prices in restaurants do not bite (of course there are exceptions, but basically everything is democratic). very tasty fish in the restaurant Up&Down. along the embankment lined up a lot of restaurants in different architectural styles and with different cuisines, respectively. for every taste and color. It doesn't make sense to describe it - I'll post a photo. they will tell about Batumi without words
about people.
I was amazed by this story, since our Veronica did not even remember exactly where she forgot it. bandits all sit in prisons, in this regard Saakashvili respect and respect. in a year there were only two murders in the country, and then there were many dissatisfied, since in the previous one there was only one.
when visiting the bazaar, we ate 2 days in advance. not only did we not plan to go there and were not dressed appropriately (in the photo), everyone paid attention to us. They gave everything to try and wrapped it up with them. I highly recommend dried persimmon. I had never eaten such a miracle before and did not even know that it existed. also churchchela, honey, nuts. well, not to bring cheese and Georgian wine is like a crime.
on excursions.
You can't take a review. You can see everything yourself, and sympathetic passers-by can tell you much more about Batumi than guides (feel free to ask questions). building min. Yusta was very memorable.
friendly employees invited inside and showed how they work, by the way the building itself is made of glass, which surprised me.
be sure to rent bikes and ride along the promenade. costs 4 u. e. per hour. payment by card through the terminal there. conveniently. If you don't have a card, you can pay with cash. on the waterfront you can find such a rental. the bikes are really different there (according to the map, they are all the same, green). We tried to find a cash rental but couldn't find it. we went to the not quite completed Soho establishment on the embankment to clarify where to look for these very bicycles - the kind uncle waved his hand at 3 bicycles standing against the wall and said "take it", he refused to take money for a ride. the feeling when you ride a bike along the embankment is simply indescribable. there are no words to describe the delight
We went to the botanical garden ourselves. it is between Batumi and Kobuleti. were traveling by bus. I don't remember the entrance exactly, but it's cheap.
I have a good imagination, so when I was told that it was located like the Gardens of Babylon, the sketches in my head were different. a garden is like a garden.
There was also an excursion to Kutaisi. I didn't go. There were friends who said they liked it.
they didn’t get to the Dolphinarium, either because it didn’t work that day, or because the dolphins were in a bad mood. I still didn’t understand what the guide meant (everyone drinks wine in Georgia ... )
my favorite excursion is just a must have for everyone. This is an excursion to the waterfall.
Route: Petra Fortress (located between Batumi and Kobuleti) - Gonio Fortress (near the airport) - Queen Tamar Bridge (namely Tamar - only the masculine gender in Georgian) - the waterfall itself - a picnic and a winery.
I liked Petra. not to be confused with Jordan - there is no similarity). once upon a time it performed the function of protecting the city from raiders by water (I vaguely remember the guide's story, since Georgian wine is my favorite, think of the rest yourself).
Gonio fortress - to be honest, there is little left of the fortress there. but it's interesting to wander around. there is a small museum there. and a well from which tourists drink water (and they drink actively because it is dry ... ). Like you can still make wishes.
Bridge of Queen Tamar - a stone bridge thrown over a mountain river. it's very beautiful there. but scary. some of us crawled over it, there are no handrails and, again, everyone drinks.
The waterfall itself is not very big, but very beautiful. everything around is of an interesting green color, I have never seen such a color before, unusual. near the Waterfall there is an old village, the locals have long since left and now refugees from Abkhazia live there, whom the authorities help in every possible way. clothes, food, water are brought to them. also children are taken to school "everything for people" is the motto of modern Georgia. By the way, people are very nice. they are used to tourists, but it's still nice to watch them wave after the bus.
after the waterfall they are brought to a restaurant nearby for lunch. delicious. from drinks naturally wine and lemonade. all in unlimited quantities. everyone returned to the buses on very drunken legs.
By the way, when we were brought to the winery, we didn’t want anything. showed how they make wine, invited to taste. there were few brave ones left, but still there were. I was not one of them. after buying wine for a good half an hour, they sat right on the steps next to the entrance, where they actually met the football player Andriy Shevchenko, and the good tourists who came with him also passed that he lives in the Sheraton. smiled, although after the Georgian wine everyone (except for journalists, they are more hardened) didn’t care so much that even if Madonna or the resurrected Michael Jackson had been instead of him, the reaction would have been the same.
since in May it was still not the season - I did not see the stalls with souvenirs.
the locals advised one shop with souvenirs, I was too lazy to go. who still went - they said expensive.
I understand that most of the review was occupied by my delight in Georgia. 4 months have already passed, but Batumi does not let go. and not just me. in the Facebook friend feed, until now, every week someone will post a photo from Batumi. nostalgia.
to the question I will return there again - 100% yes. and advise everyone
