I must say right away that my review-story is quite detailed.
I have not been in our south for 11 years, it so happened that our choice fell on Anapa.
We booked tickets in advance in April. It turned out 73 thousand rubles for three.
Superior room 2500 rubles per day.
We flew to Anapa with Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo-D, the journey took 1 hour 50 minutes.
We flew in, immediately took the suitcase on the street and caught a taxi for 350 rubles to Vityazevo.
At the reception it turned out that there were no available rooms of this category, so we were settled in a free room, which turned out to be a two-room one (later we found out that it was 3900 rubles per day).
About the room:
The room was located in the 6th medical building, on the 3rd floor, number "4".
The room is beautiful, one room-bedroom with TV, air conditioning, balcony,
the other is the living room, also with a TV, by the way, there is a children's channel "Telenyanya", with air conditioning and a sofa, I immediately found a hairdryer.
In the corridor in the closet, an electronic safe was found, I must say that the entrance to the room is by card. There was also a small dining room, where there was a refrigerator, kettle, dishes. The room was regularly replenished with bottled mineral water, sugar, tea and coffee bags, there were even cookies.
Two white terry bathrobes and slippers, a brush and a sponge for shoes were found in the closet.
I must say that there were two toilets. One with a full bath and sink, and the other just with a sink. There were 12 towels for three, so white and well absorbent.
Towels were changed every day.
The bathroom also had bathing caps, soap, shampoo, disposable toothbrushes, a sewing kit, and a disposable razor.
The room was cleaned every day, linen was changed every three days. We are very pleased with the work of the staff, cleaning was carried out quickly and cleanly, and most importantly when we were not in the room.
There was a plastic table with three chairs on the balcony, the light was on.
In the evening, when my daughter was already asleep, my husband and I drank Muscat white wine on the balcony, local spill - very tasty, once we took silver carp, mmm relish.
The ironing board was in the corridor, you could always use it, you can take the iron at the reception.
Treatment:
In our building, only the 3rd floor was residential, on the second there were different rooms, a pediatrician, an inhalation room, an ENT, a monitorin. bowel cleansing, therapist, consultations for the "guests" of the hotel are free.
We did not use anything, but I know that you could have a massage, lie in the bathroom.
Sauna and gym were on the first floor.
Territory:
The area is very beautiful and well maintained. Paths are carefully laid out, lanterns, gazebos, swings on chains are everywhere, the main place is occupied by a pond with fish, a bridge and a slide with a waterfall. A great place for photos. ) The main advantage of the territory is that everything is located very conveniently, successfully and there is a lot of shade around.
And what roses, petunias, many more different flowers are planted around, I also saw a cactus, trees - pines, arborvitae, birches. There are a lot of southern trees unknown to me, as well as fruit trees.
I list: pear, apple, plum, cherry plum, mulberry, cherry, quince.
In the evenings and during the day, vacationers sit in the shade of pavilions entwined with grapes with a book in their hands.
There are volleyball and playgrounds. The playground is quite large, with a sandbox, there are a lot of toys in it, there are all sorts of climbing frames, swings, slides.
Pools:
The pools were very nice. The water is very clean. A children's pool with a slide 0.6 meters deep, a large pool divided by a bridge: shallow on one side and 1.7 m deep on the other. There is also a separate pool with three slides 1.5 meters deep, where you can safely stand up. In this pool, we taught our daughter to swim and dive. My husband and daughter loved the water slides.
There is a technical break in the pool from 13:00 to 15:00, at which time it is being processed.
I must say that we did not get out of the pools. There are plenty of free sunbeds and umbrellas around the pools. Unfortunately, towels and mattresses are not provided…
Pool bar:
The pool has a bar where you can buy drinks and ice cream.
One scoop of ice cream costs 50 rubles, non-alcoholic mojito 150 rubles.
During the day in the pool animation holds a game of water polo, and in the evening in the bar - a show.
The shows are the games "Guess the melody", "One hundred to one", etc.
Animation:
Before lunch, animators hold various games-competitions on the beach, and in the afternoon by the pool.
Immediately after dinner, a young animation team entertains the children on the playground.
It arranges various competitions, but, unfortunately, there is no children's disco. My daughter was very upset by this fact.
At 20 o'clock in the pink dining room there are performances, "Thumbelina", "Pinocchio", entrance fee is 200-250 rubles. Near the pool there are a couple of tables for playing table tennis and billiards.
In my opinion, the animation is still very far from foreign, but the guys are trying.
Beach:
The boarding house has its own beach area, for this you need to go outside the boarding house, walk along the street with stalls for about 5 minutes, then cross the beach and find your pen with the inscription "Brigantine", showing the guest card, we go through and look for free sunbeds, we found here the water cooler is free. To get to the sea, you need to get out of the gate-corral and bypassing the lying bodies enter the sea.
When we arrived, the sea was very stormy, in the evening it was really black and smelled of mud. After waiting a couple of days, swimming enough in the pools, we again came to the sea, which was no longer black, but still unrest, you could only jump on the waves, and go so far to plunge, the water was muddy and algae were floating.
We, spoiled by the Mediterranean, Aegean and Red Seas, did not go to the sea anymore.
We swam in the cleanest pools.
Big Utrish:
My daughter asked to go to the dolphinarium, we bought an excursion, 200 rubles per person costs a bus back and forth to the dolphinarium, where the guide redeems the booked tickets.
A ticket to the dolphinarium costs 500 rubles, children under 5 years old are free.
Since we were 5.5 years old, we cheated and didn’t take a ticket for our daughter, she sat in my arms.
The most interesting thing is that there is no clear place on the ticket, 45 minutes before the start of the show, the gates of the dolphinarium territory open and people take their seats in the stands.
The show is held in the open air, in the sea, on top of the sheds, it's very beautiful, you look at the stage, and from all sides the sea. The performance lasted about an hour, I really liked it, there was a fur seal and a lot of dolphins.
Separately, I want to say that if there is a desire and opportunity, you need to come to Utrish beach. The sea here is very clean, calm, around the bay - beauty. The beach has large round pebbles. If there were hotel-boarding houses here, I would not hesitate to buy a ticket here. But no, because there is a landslide here.
We were very lucky with the weather, for 10 days there was only one day when it was cloudy and it was raining.
Nutrition:
I don’t want to talk about food, this is the only weak point of the boarding house.
If it were possible to take a package with breakfast only, we would do so.
I’ll make a reservation right away, our family is meat-eaters, we love everything fried very much.
So, breakfast starts from 8 to 10 o'clock, for breakfast you can drink tea, cocoa, milk, green tea, coffee from a can. Everything would be fine, but the staff is not very efficient, then the teaspoons will run out, then the mugs, then the tea bags.
Three types of porridge: semolina put 4 points, rice too -4, oatmeal - 2 I did not like. You can find pastries, muesli, cottage cheese, yogurt, dumplings, cutlets with pasta, cheese, sausage. And also a leisurely boy cooks scrambled eggs.
Lunch from 12 to 14 o'clock, 2 types of soup and broth, the broth is very fatty, a lot of oil is put in soups.
“Second” - everything boiled-boiled: cutlet, goulash, ventricles, azu, stew, rolls, marinated fish. The husband stubbornly tried to find meat, there were only fried wings, at the end of the holiday it seemed that the wings were all that the chicken had. )
Fruits: bananas, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples.
Drinks: mineral water, tea, milk, kefir, compote.
About compote separately - hot compote in the heat! from dried fruits.
In the interval between 16 and 17 hours, pancakes with jam and chocolate are baked next to the dining room.
Dinner from 18:00 to 20:00 is the weakest place in the dining room, once I came and didn’t know what to eat, boiled beets, fried zucchini, yellowish cucumbers with seeds, tomatoes, which are quite tasty, but they are quickly eaten, rice collapsed, and stuffed vegetables.
In general, we often skipped dinner and went to eat in "canteens", cafes.
By the way, now in the south there are many such canteens where self-service, you take a tray and choose what you like - the price was 350 rubles for three.
Several times we were in the cafe "Felicia" opposite Brigantina, I really liked it.
Live music, calm atmosphere, everything is very tasty. Ordered pizza, barbecue - very tasty. It went out for three with alcohol 1500 rubles.
I forgot to write, before dinner we bought corn - 25 rubles. We are lovers of this product.
Outside the territory:
Nearby is the park "Paralia", where there are many different attractions, we rode a Ferris wheel - 100 rubles, a very beautiful view opens up on the Vityazevsky estuary. I advise you to take a camera with you. The husband rode an ATV - along the obstacle course, too, -100r. There are different electric cars, shooting galleries, trains, trampolines, in general, a child can be entertained.
You can make a tattoo, American and French braids are also weaved.
Not reaching the park, there is a tent with a circus tent.
Mosquitoes:
