What turned out to be in practice. . . I won’t tell about the organization itself, because it certainly won’t work briefly, it’s just that my indignation alone is not enough to convey in a nutshell about the “quality” of the work of managers !! ! Just clarify all the details at once, additional payment to waiters, fines for alcohol, the permissibility of your alcohol and everything, everything, everything, since we had nowhere to retreat and we had to give simply incredible amounts !! ! The waiters... someone wrote correctly, recruited young people from the nearest settlements, poured champagne into dirty glasses from under the fruit drink to our guests !!! , not deigning to change them !!! , and instead of salmon steaks, they served miserable halves from them, although the payment was exactly for a portion of steak for each guest!!! , but about the amount of alcohol that ended in the midst of the holiday, although it was purchased in boxes!!!!! , the pigs were insolent!! ! My only request was to bring flowers from the banquet to our room, so the receptionist literally dumped them in a corner without vases, and pointed me to a bucket! And don't fall for these brashurki, in which the Imperial promises the newlyweds chocolate-covered strawberries and specials. bridal suite, and hope they don't ruin it at least, because on our wedding night, they decided to arrange a planned fire evacuation without warning anyone about it !! ! and instead of giving in to love, my husband soldered me with valerian!
Booking went through without problems over the phone. We arrived, settled in - the studio room is quite spacious, the furniture is not bad, the lamps are not cheap, everything is smart. The bathroom, of course, is worse - broken tiles on the floor, plumbing is very modest. By the way, we lived in the Akvarel mini-hotel.
Well, having settled in, we decided to take a walk around the territory and at the same time visit the pool and spa. We came to the main building, wandered along the corridors and finally went to the Aquamarine Spa. Having received the numbers in the undressing room, we went inside - mdaaa....The locker room is a frank scoop, just horror, dirt, wet floors, smelly toilets, and you should have seen showers with plastic curtains... Somehow, having changed into bathing suits, we went to the pool. All the pathos flies from the photographs in a moment - tasteless, already peeling off in places gilding on the railings of the stairs, and teak deck chairs. That's all beauty. Yes, the pool, of course, is not chlorinated, but, as it should be, it is ozonized (everything is according to Gazprom standards). The children's pool was, however, not bad, with a slide and fungus. BUT: there are puddles on the floor everywhere, it smells like sewerage, or musty water, it is clear that the ventilation is ill-conceived. The pools are tiled with the cheapest tiles available. Then we go down to the basement floor to the "hotel baths". We pass again through some corridors and doors and we are in an even more terrible room with even more brutal smells. There is a sauna (they haven't been), a hamamm (you can't call it that here) and 3 small pools. In the hamamma, sauna and shower there are not special doors, as is usually done, but improvised ordinary double-glazed windows. The showers here are even worse than upstairs.
After such a negative experience, they began to look with suspicion at everything else in the hotel. Restaurant "Pivnaya Assembly" - feel yourself in the resort of the Krasnodar Territory, plunge into the 90s. Unpretentious wooden tables with umbrellas, on one of the chairs there is a music center, from which a mixture of chanson and radio of the 80s plays. A waiter comes up with a fumes and takes an order - the prices are not the lowest for such a cafe. The food is so-so. Restaurant "Dvoryansky" - tolerably, not cheap. The playground is good. Alley in the park - not bad, but not ah. Summary: in general, the hotel does not pull on the declared 5 stars. It seems that they wanted to make it beautiful, but according to the ideas of people from the 90s. Well, what is exquisite in red brick buildings with green metal roofs and wood-tinted plastic windows. There are a lot of jambs - oversights are everywhere, then the wallpaper has peeled off in the corridor, then the thresholds of the doors have moved away. The spa had to be done with the involvement of a specialized organization that manages and maintains spa centers. If you haven't been anywhere, you may not notice all the joints. But if you have been to the spa centers of Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, then the contrast is striking. Yes, I remembered, they were once in the Ritz on Tverskaya in a spa - and there are jambs there, but compared to the Imperial - just SUPER.
