Travel time: 08/27/11 - 09/03/11
Came in the most pleasant season - the price tag fell down, and the weather became gorgeous. Water is +26 in the morning, +28 in the afternoon. All day a light breeze and +30, at night the temperature drops very much - sometimes +12. So during the evening gatherings, do not forget warm clothes. The air conditioner is not needed at night.
Sending party: "Odyssey" N. Novgorod
Everything is as transparent as possible, the staff is polite, tickets and insurance were issued at the office.
Charter: SkyExpress there and KavMinVody back.
The difference between these carriers is enormous, as well as between their aircraft. Far from being a new Boeing-737, it seemed like a miracle of the aviation industry when we were presented with a dead TU-154M from the KMV on the return flight. But the feeding was miserable in both directions, they did not give hot food.
Tour operator: Erzog. I can't say anything bad. There was a change of return flight, but in advance.
Host: IBCI
This is an ass. Maybe only I was so lucky - I don’t know, but there was no help from the guide. Let's start with the fact that Lilyana (in the local language - "water") was looking for at the airport, since IBCI does not even have a collapsible counter. Then they stupidly stuffed us into a minibus and waved a pen after us - like, we'll see you at the hotel the day after tomorrow. In short, there was no introductory training, the organization of excursions was terrible, the return transfer was late, I had to take my money for unused excursions personally in a rented car.
Hotel: FKK Koversada Villas (aka Koversada Blesicka, Naturist Koversada, etc. )
The territory is simply huge - at least 4 sq. km. There is an island, round, with a diameter of 250-300 meters. Thus, the length of the coastline at the hotel reaches several kilometers!! ! And even with the maximum occupancy of the hotel, no one fights for a place on the beach. The territory is very green, you can walk on the lawns, you can sunbathe, sleep and even park on them. The contingent is as follows: 50% Fritz (Germans and Austrians), 25% Italians, 20% Slovaks, Czechs and other Slavs, 5% Americans, British, Spaniards and French. There were 6 Russians - and this is also pleasing.
The beach has a "blue flag" - and that says it all: the sea is clean, transparent, salty and warm. Waves are almost completely extinguished by the island and the bridge to it.
I will not sing praises, I go straight to the minuses.
1. I was unpleasantly surprised that in the half-board format, drinks are only in the morning. And at dinner, a glass of water costs 78 rubles, coffee - 150 rubles, and wine - like vintage cognac. I ate dry food, then walked 50 meters to the store. Saved : )
2. The beach bar is closed. I took 10 cans of beer in the store and by the evening this minus disappeared : )
3. You have to wear something on your ass to the store, and to the restaurant - and from above, too, so after the beach you have to cut to the room, and this is not very pleasant at Koversadov's distances.
4. Of the entire staff, only the girl Ani at the reception speaks fluent Croatian and understands Russian quite well. The rest are like our collective farmers from the outback: it seems that both the letters and the words are the same, but you can’t make out half of the phrase. Saved English and Spanish combined.
And that's all downsides. The rest is within the acceptable range for 2* and HB.
In general, I give the hotel a solid 4 for the price / quality ratio. It would be foolish of me to expect in 2011 for 600 euros (25.025 rubles per week) new Boeing 777s, a jacuzzi in the room and crabs for dinner.
Helpful Hints:
I recommend staying in rooms with maximum no. The more - the closer to the restaurant and the store. From 170 to 200 - the most it.
Tours are outrageously expensive. It is better, more convenient and cheaper to take a new Korsa for 50 euros a day and see for yourself the islands of Brioni and Krk, and the Plitvice Lakes, and Zagreb, and a lot more. Parking in all cities is expensive - min. 30 rubles per hour, but the fines are simply brutal - 600 rubles for late parking and 4200 rubles for a tow truck if you got up in the wrong place or decided not to pay at all. Also do not forget that Croats are very similar to Russians: they are lazy, corrupted by free money, optional and love to get drunk. The attitude towards the Russians is peculiar: they call us "brothers-Slavs", but they consider us dense, orphans and miserable - like we are Chukchi.
