We visited with children in July 2016.
For the first time we went to the Sea of ​ ​ Azov, because near Odessa, where we used to go, prices were simply unthinkable. On the Azov (except Berdyansk Spit) while cheaper. Although we are already thinking about Bulgaria, if our pseudo-businessmen do not calm down and stop inflating prices. . .
So. In order.
1. What immediately surprised me. The car was not allowed to park in the parking lot inside the base, only in another parking lot behind the fence. Although many parking spaces inside were empty. I still don't understand these mans. Maybe there are places inside for some of their clients, and the rest is so, spit and grind.

2. I do not agree with those who are outraged on other sites that the electric stove is paid. We were told about it right away. But again, another thing angered me. We were forbidden to use our electric stove, they said, they say, we don’t know what kind you have. Okay, they swallowed it, they didn’t take their stove. But when we arrived at the base and they gave us their prehistoric terrible broken electric stove - it just looked like redneck and complete disrespect for customers. I went to change the stove TWO times, because the first one did not have half of the legs, it leaned over and it was impossible to cook on such a stove, the pancake did not warm up on the second one - and only from the third time they gave me a normal stove.
By the way, no frying pan or pot to the stove (as someone wrote) was not even offered to us - no one mentioned them.
3. Linen on the bed was given immediately, and on the sofa only in the evening of that day. That is, to come, check into a room and lie down - do not even hope, because the administration may not have fresh linen.
4. The beach is the WORST THING that ruined the experience. There is a beach, but it is very narrow, it was washed away by the sea (you know how in the Crimea on the South Coast there are often beaches that are washed out by the sea and there are small pieces left in the corners where a couple of people fit - this is about the same beach here). To be honest, everything could be endured, but the beach and the sea are what we came here for. And walking for 20 minutes to the beach, like on an excursion, is too much... When in other places people walk for a minute. If you don’t urgently wash the sand and expand the beach, in a couple of years no one will come to you at all. We were saved only by the fact that there was a car, and when it was too lazy to crawl in the heat, we got into the car and drove to other beaches. "Great service!

5. Spiders. At first I laughed, saying that everyone clung to these spiders and scolded them in reviews on other sites. But then I realized what? Yes, they are not available in the rooms. But it is enough to open the door to the street and... the spider dance begins. Especially in the evening. . . To be so teeming with spiders - I have never seen anything like it. You open the door, step outside the room and immediately bury your face in the web (spiders, naturally, are healthy, black, gray, with thick legs - God knows, normal or poisonous). Moreover, these are some kind of spiders, because during the day they managed to spin huge cobwebs, even despite the fact that every morning the cleaners drove them with brooms. I repeat - it was DRIVED. They didn’t catch, as someone wrote, they didn’t clean it up, but simply brushed away the cobwebs and spiders. Naturally, within an hour the same spiders returned to their habitat. That is, to think of destroying spiders by some means - alas, there is not enough mind for this... People live inside the houses, and spiders inhabited all the roofs and side parts of the log cabins.
6. It was terribly stuffy in the room in mid-July. It's just very hot. The air conditioner was turned on and turned on to the point that they began to get sick. Therefore, he did not save, it was dangerous all day under the air conditioner, and if you turn it off, the room instantly warmed up. Only one thing saved me - when they opened the front door and kept it open (well, the spiders, stunned by a broom, did not have time to crawl to the door and enter the room even at lunchtime).
7. Pool. In principle, it was because of him that this base was chosen, because the small one really wanted a pool. We were satisfied with the pool, it is large, more or less clean. However, one pool will not be full. What will you be? (answer in point 8)
8. There should have been an answer, what will you be full of....However, the answer will disappoint you: on this base - "nothing". Breakfasts are forcibly included in the price of the room, as already mentioned above, and even two breakfasts. BUT: I, a healthy man, ate both breakfasts - and didn’t get enough. Meals were available until 9 am. But you come at 8.45 - they serve everything cold. The next day you come at 8.55 - they give hot. It is useless to look for logic here, just take it for granted - there is no logic in that cafe, they will feed you as you are lucky.

9. Well, about the ridiculous children's animation in this hotel in 2016, it has already been said and retold, as well as about the screaming music from the cafe until 23 and even until 24 hours. This is all true. Only one thing people forgot to tell: that the most interesting thing happens in the evening, when the animators turn on their music on the tape recorder, and in the cafe their genius begins to sing. And here begins an exciting sparkling competition - WHO SHOUTS WHOM! Why "sparkling", I think you have already understood - because sparks fly from the ears! For me, the most important happiness was not even at 24 at night, when the mouth of the local cafe genius finally closed, but at 8-9 pm, when the animators rolled up their hurdy-gurdy and turned off the tape recorder. And instead of a terrible musical cacophony, there was only one, albeit terrible, sound. At least thanks for that.
10. I read on one of the sites the response of the administration regarding the furniture, they say, there are different guests, and therefore the furniture breaks (there was such a hint). Sorry, they didn’t break anything at all, didn’t jump, didn’t knock, but at the same time, the lock on the bathroom door stopped closing and in order to go to the toilet, you had to ask someone from the room to block the door with something. Well, the shower door is one big misunderstanding, we didn’t even try to close it, because it hung on the snot and the snot was so thin that it was even scary to touch it. In a word, the door to the shower did not close and flew off its hinges.
11. Roads. Oh, this is a separate topic, a hymn to Ukrainian service and complete indifference to tourists. So, starting from the turn to the spit, when you pass the water park and go to the hotel, the whole road is full of potholes and potholes (it happened in July 2016, I don’t know how it is now). It's just a blessing that the flow of cars there is not super large, otherwise it would be impossible to pass - the road is not wide and it is full of hefty pits, some 30-40 cm deep. Moreover, literally every 50-100 meters there is a hotel along the road, and a section of 50-100 meters actually serves 3-4 hotels (since there are 3-4 hotels from the sea to the road - that is, 3-4 lines of hotels). Fir-trees-sticks, well, is it really impossible for the 3rd hotels to chip in and pave each of their sites for 50-100 meters ?!
For me, this was a characteristic indicator that there is no point in coming here in the future, because if 50-100 meters cannot be asphalted, then what kind of sanding and beach expansion can we talk about. Yes, they would rather close the hotel than invest in the general infrastructure! Completely unaware of what they actually invest in their...
12. The staff of the base is very good, polite - there are no questions. There was not a single rude remark. Did you even smile?

13. As for tap water, the people who were in Kirillovka immediately warned us that the water was smelly and salty. Because we were even surprised that somehow it does not stink very much? Of course, forewarned, we took about 5 healthy 6-liter bottles of clean water - and it was enough for us to warm up tea and boil potatoes. It’s another matter if there wasn’t a car, I don’t understand how we would have been with water - probably, we would have bought at exorbitant prices in local stores and carried on our hump on a minibus...
14. I really liked the Sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ Azov. For the week that we were, the sea was stormy for three days, for two days it was generally perfectly calm, for two days it was normal. BUT: compared to black - beauty: in general, not a single large jellyfish, and even small white ones once or twice - and miscalculated. The sea is warm, gentle, I liked it very much.
15. Vaunted Wi-Fi. You can forget about the Internet - a teaspoon per hour. Having read about Wi-Fi, we took a tablet to watch movies, play games for children. Yeah, right now... We bought their Wi-Fi card, to celebrate, even two at once (each is valid for three days), but two days later I ran to hand over the second card back, breaking my legs. For the Internet is nowhere worse - it catches only on the balcony barely. The room is generally useless. In a word, I suffered and switched to the good old mobile Internet.
CONCLUSION: in the next five years, neither to Anna-spa-hotel, nor to Fedotov Spit with a foot! Maybe later, somehow, when we get bored and hear only good reviews, and see changes for the better, then we'll look. Although, most likely, we will go a little further. Because we were nearby in the village of Stepok - I really liked it there, because there is a hefty wide beach, there is already something to breathe...
