While emotions are alive, I am writing a review. We returned from the hotel today, rested with my husband for 7 days. We came from Moscow to visit our mother-in-law and we are not far from Berdyansk, so we decided to relax for a week on the Sea of ​ ​ Azov. Before that, we rested in Primorsk and on the Belosarayskaya Spit, and in Croatia and in Turkey and in Gelendzhik : )) there is something to compare with, although the experience is small, of course. I chose this hotel from the photo of the hotel room, I like it to be beautiful , on the tour only breakfasts suited me, since I'm on a diet.
So, the first day, we arrived at the hotel by bus 15-17 (walks from the bus station in Berdyansk, passage 3 grv). We were met by a security guard and for some reason decided that we were in Slavutych and began to show us the way. Then we realized that everyone came to this hotel not on foot, but on cool cars (we left ours to rest in Moscow). met there, thank God.
We arrived early, around 8 am, but we were immediately settled on the second floor, overlooking the parking lot (by the way, it is open and the cars stand in the sun all day). all week and it looks like it won’t work : ) Housekeeping suited us, we didn’t change beach towels, but if you wish, you can replace everything, the maids left from 3-10 UAH on the bed.

Restaurant: they cook delicious, but very expensive, beer in the store is much cheaper. But, if you have a lot of extra money, then you can easily afford to "dine" in this restaurant. We did not like the waiters, we left a tip of 5-10% of the order amount, apparently the rest give more. Therefore, the waiters serve faster than the noisiest, coolest, especially the administrator or the head of the restaurant, he tried very hard to please a certain category of guests, it didn’t look very pleasant from the outside when they frankly lick one place... I wanted to know why... for the sake of tips or hotel advertising?
Beach: there are always sun loungers, the most sold-out Saturday-Sunday, umbrellas may not be enough, there are only 12 of them, we had enough, since we were on the beach from 7-8 in the morning, we occupied places and an umbrella. Cleaning of the beach - no, after (I will not tire of repeating) pretentious people who came for the weekend - the beach and the territory were polluted (the remains of shrimp, cans of beer, the contents of someone's dinner, vomit in one word) and all this was removed after 9 o'clock the next days! horror! So walk carefully on the sand, meet a corn stick or a beer bottle cap.
I recommend: to go to the market for fish and food, we walked three stops or by bus to the Post office. Water, beer, etc. can be taken in the store, on the other side of the hotel, as you exit, walk a little to the right. We highly recommend the YUZHPIVMASH beer bar with my husband - it is located between the bus stop "Azov" and "Post": there is delicious beer, we tried a plate of smoked meats, cheese sticks, salty sticks and croutons of black bread. I really liked it, unusual sauces, friendly staff, prices, well, we ate about 300 UAH, but we ate too much and left. The second time we ate pork kebab, ram, sausages, in general, you will lick your fingers! And the next day it was closed, the beer ran out, by the way, it was 20-22 UAH, but it was worth it!
Complex lunches in the Diadon restaurant cost 110 UAH, and opposite YUZHPIVMASH there is a cafe-bar "Shatry" there are 4 dishes for 35 UAH, we are very sorry that we ate there only at the end of the holiday. The portions are small, but satisfying, come in and ask for a complex lunch. We also dined there 1 time and tried alcoholic shots.

Not far from the hotel (all the time to the right of the exit) there is a Piratskaya cafe, I didn’t remember the name, there is a pirate flag at the entrance, there are complex lunches from 12-13, dinners from 17-18, we didn’t have time to go there in time, cost, - I think 40-45 grv. But we had lunch and dinner there 1 time, also very tasty and soups and shish kebab and cocktails! And most importantly, cute and pleasant staff!
Summing up: Everything seems to be fine, but if you have sooooo much money, then they will be polite and friendly with you The hotel, of course, does not pull on 4 * - everything should be perfect, and not a blunder in places and not quite.
And attention, we did not use the minibar, and when leaving we were charged 10 hryvnia for Morshynska water, not very pleasant. We always bought water ourselves 1.5l or 5l, once we bought 0.5l exactly the same as in the mini-bar and the cleaning lady threw out the empty bottle and apparently did not look that she was left in the minibar. A trifle, but an unpleasant aftertaste remained. Be careful! If you have questions, write!
