To say that this is a hotel that also has stars is to deceive all vacationers! So the beginning. When you find this hotel with great difficulty, the address and name of which no one knows even from the locals, this will only be the beginning of your "wonderful vacation". The gate will be opened for you by an elderly man with a naked torso and in shorts - this is the uniform that the service personnel in the hotel should have with **** stars.

To say that this is a hotel that also has stars is to deceive all vacationers!
So the beginning. When you find this hotel with great difficulty, the address and name of which no one knows even from the locals, this will only be the beginning of your "wonderful vacation". The gate will be opened for you by an elderly man with a naked torso and in shorts - this is the uniform that the service personnel in the hotel should have with **** stars. Do not expect that they will help you carry your bags - here the "service" is rather complete self-service. Then there will be an incomprehensible dialogue with the owners, who will convincingly tell how you got to heaven on earth and the best that is currently offered in the Crimea is this particular place. All this would be fine if you were a blind person.
The rooms that are offered on the site and have intricate names and are made of natural materials are nothing more than a publicity stunt and a well-chosen photo angle. Probably the most environmentally friendly were plastic doors in the room and rusty air vents in the bathroom. But we remember what we pay for - this is a "paradise" : (
Food deserves special attention. It's something. There is a menu, but you can only order what is available. It is not clear at all why the owners spent paper on the MENU? It is necessary to order lunch and dinner at breakfast, but this is not a guarantee that when you come in the evening for dinner, they will simply not forget you. After all, the chefs change every day, and in general, it is not clear who needed us there, probably to ourselves. And you won’t be able to order anything after 6-7 pm either - after all, the chef will already leave and there is no one to serve and cook at all. How do you get around. Especially this service is very "like" when you are relaxing with a child. A separate conversation is the prices - 4 stars, so the prices are about 5 ***** why not underestimate yourself ???
There is a swimming pool - beautiful - that's all! Considering that it is hot outside and the children bathe in it, during the 10 days of our rest at the bottom of the pool, it was possible to study the flora and fauna with a mask. Yes, and why with a mask if the bottom of the pool has turned into a black garbage puddle - with fallen centipedes, etc. No one cleans it - just the fact that it is there is enough!
As we read on the site - 100 meters from the sea. Yes, if on the map of course 100 will be. But on such a beach you can hardly find a place for yourself - firstly, these are solid boulders, both the beach itself and the entry into the sea, and secondly, there is no toilet - NOTHING! The hosts will offer you many more options on how to take a taxi and find a good beach on the Crimean coast. True, a worthy output - everything is as "wonderful" as we read on the site.
As for personal communication with the owners - this is generally a separate conversation. Since you came to them, you will not be able to avoid this, regardless of whether you want to communicate with them or just want to take a break from everyone. Smiling sweetly and repeating like some kind of mantra that here is a piece of paradise and better you will not find anything, the topic of God will be touched upon in passing - a piece of paradise! I have nothing against faith and religion, but if you stop at least a little on this topic, your entire vacation will turn into hell. You will be offered an infinite number of times at a meeting to pray, read some literature and, preferably, come together with the owners to some truth known only to them. And all this truth boils down to what needs to be sacrificed - naturally this is expressed in banknotes. Welcome to the sect!
BE CAREFUL !!!
I wish you all a good rest - outside the walls of this hotel.

We have not been in Crimea for more than twenty years, life just threw us two and a half thousand kilometers away. closer to Greenwich. We decided to celebrate a birthday. We were looking for a quiet, not crowded place with a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable conditions of stay, counting on the most unpretentious relaxation.

We have not been in Crimea for more than twenty years, life just threw us two and a half thousand kilometers away. closer to Greenwich. We decided to celebrate a birthday. We were looking for a quiet, not crowded place with a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable conditions of stay, counting on the most unpretentious relaxation.
The choice fell on Alupka, because there were all the last memories of her - I wonder what has changed. And on Nikitin's Dacha, just by viewing his website. .
We went by car. Yes, indeed, no signs and signs were found, but they were found quickly by mobile communication. Upon check-in, a five-minute acquaintance with the owners took place, lunch and dinner options were offered on order (breakfast included) and the beach in Dyulber was recommended (according to mine). When they understood our priorities, they took their leave with pleasure. The second meeting took place traditionally at parting and departure.
At the first acquaintance with the place of rest, all our expectations were justified. Quietness, cleanliness, well-groomed, even respectable. The view is beautiful. (Look at our photos and draw your own conclusions, they are without photoshop)
Only we and two more couples rested in the whole villa, one left immediately, the second two days later A festive dinner with candles on the terrace, overlooking the entire coast to the lights of the evening Yalta. We are alone, silence and only the breath of the sea. We did not expect such luck .
Now to the point.
The room is spacious, clean, with balcony and terrace.
Cleaning - regularly, and moreover the entire territory.
Meals (breakfasts) are always varied and very tasty. Like in a decent restaurant. Lunches and dinners to order in the same spirit.
The pool is clean, although no one has swum in it.
Cultural and entertainment programs were "highly conspiratorial. " Even the background music that constantly sounds in Afro-Asian hotels was absent. We admit that this is a minus for some.
We found only one minus. There are two entrances and exits in the villa - a central one and an alternate one towards an almost wild beach with an abundance of stones and boulders. So they are always closed. To exit, you must find someone from the staff who will let you out. Now the question : And how back? Answer: You should always have a mobile phone with you. Call the same staff, they will come and open it. Keys and door tablets are not provided. Funny? Once we forgot our phones. . . We weren't laughing. Agree, idiot.
We tried to clarify this issue. We received an answer - we have a closed territory. And there is some truth in this.
The fact is that "Nikitin's Dacha" is, of course, not a 4-star hotel in its traditional view. It is rather a chic private sector with a high level of comfort and its own philosophy of relaxation, which is not afraid to call itself a "Closed Territory", although in theory they are closer and on their way to the VIP Club.
We are confident that natural selection and self-screening will occur among the guests of the Nikitins. They will earn exactly their "spectator".
Dear Nikitins, do not take negative and insufficiently substantiated criticism to heart. We really liked you! Good luck!
