For the 4th year we have been resting with a family with two children in Berdyansk. The first three years we stayed in the same hotel on the middle spit, everything was more or less satisfactory. They say they don’t look for good from good, but this year they decided to change the hotel for a change of impressions and, oddly enough, they did not lose. Nika is located on the middle spit, a 20-minute drive from the railway station, between the Levant and Ukraine hotels, a 10-minute walk from the hotel market, shops, about 10 different cafes, 2 cinema halls (in Agarsky Mys ” and “Arctic”), post office, pharmacy, ATM (in the cafe “Sarmatia”). The highlight of the seemingly small Nika Hotel: ALL 19 rooms are DIFFERENT in terms of area, layout, interior design and, accordingly, price. That is, it is possible to choose the most suitable option. We were placed in building "A", in a room with a fireplace for 1100 UAH, deliberately climbing to the last, 4th floor, so that the neighbors would not interfere (as often happens). 50 sq. m. , a lot of air and light, no balcony, but the windows overlook 3 sides. We never risk using the air conditioner in the presence of children, but in the room for 2.5 weeks it was hot only a couple of times (while outside in the sun it reached 38 degrees). Room equipment, hot water, cleaning, change of linen, towels - everything is as promised on the site. As for the territory, it is small but cozy: parking (inside and outside), 10 m to the restaurant, 15 m to the pool, 20 m to the beach. Playground, paved paths, flower beds, few trees, but still there are (birches, cypresses, pines), an oriental-style fountain, rocking benches, a shower, a toilet, several foot sinks, a tennis table. The pool is small, clean, with a convenient entrance for children, with wicker sunbeds and two large umbrellas around the perimeter, there was never a problem with places in the pool or near it. The youngest daughter finally learned to swim without an inflatable ring! There was only one force majeure situation: there was a mass kill of gobies on the sea, no one went to the beach, and the pool could not accommodate all the hotel guests at the same time. About the beach: sandy, with a small strip of shell rock, plastic sun loungers, fabric sun loungers, large and small umbrellas, the security guard on duty helps to accommodate, even when the hotel is fully loaded on weekends, there was enough inventory and space for everyone. About the restaurant: a small hall with a bar, air conditioning and TV, and a spacious open veranda. I was pleasantly surprised by the so-called continental breakfast, which unexpectedly turned out to be hearty, even with a not very large selection of dishes, their combinations did not have time to bother us in 18 days. The children visited the restaurant with pleasure, thanks also to the hospitable waitresses, the head of the family was full and satisfied in the morning, and this, believe me, is worth a lot! Special thanks to the kitchen for the Napoleon cake for the birthday of our eldest daughter, as well as for organizing the congratulations! A look from the side: our children have already grown up, but we watched how actively two animator girls were engaged from morning to evening with other young children. About the administration of the hotel: the staff promptly answered all questions before arrival (during the booking process), was attentive and responsive throughout the stay. Weather: we arrived in a storm and a strong wind, the next day a two-week calm settled, one evening a thunderstorm touched the edge, surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes this year. Summary: the children (and we) did not want to leave! Many thanks to all the employees of the Nika Hotel for a calm and comfortable stay, quite worthy of Ukraine and the Sea of ​ ​ Azov!
