Yesterday, after the children's disco, we gathered about 20 people. We waited 40 minutes, many went through the mud and puddles to the hotel on foot. The administrators said that the driver is alone in the evening and he mainly drives to the parking lot, and should not deliver vacationers from hotel to hotel. Therefore, our choice next time will, of course, not be De La Vita. In fact, we spend the night and eat at this hotel, and activities, during the day, at the hotel of the Valetta group line. The beach is not prepared to receive tourists. The beach is not cleaned, deck chairs are wooden with rusty screws. There is no canopy, umbrellas are shabby and stretched, there is no changing cabin, there are no paths to the sea. A piece of tile lies so as not to break a leg and go down to the sand. The algae are not removed. Two days very green coast.
And, of course, about the pros. The staff at De La Vita is very polite and diligent. Clean and comfortable rooms. Excellent aqua aerobics instructor. The food is excellent. Drivers are very patient and polite.
The hotel is new, modern and well maintained. Special thanks to the girls, they cleaned the room, it was just perfect, and they always responded very quickly to any requests. The reception staff is also very helpful and helpful when needed. The food is very tasty and varied, even for my baby there was always something to eat. There are chairs for feeding, a very big plus.
2 large pools, 2 children's pools and a jacuzzi were enough for everyone. In the main water was always warm, but in the nursery as fresh milk)))) Cool DJ and music at the pool, water aerobics, bar. The beach is clean, the sea is pretty good, expected much worse. True, there is not much space on the beach for covering, the children and I went out a little later and there was no more space. And despite the instructions, the guests still occupied the sun loungers both on the beach and in the pools. I recommend the hotel owners to make another canopy on the beach, then everything will be super!
In general, the hotel is great! We were very satisfied! No cons found!
Settlement
We arrived by car at 13.45. The car was immediately parked for free. At the reception, there is a queue for check-in. Wishes for the location were all taken into account - a view of the sea / stage and higher, for which special thanks (we wrote a letter with wishes to the hotel in advance). First they put on bracelets and sent for lunch. At 15.00 they gave room key cards (2 pieces) and 3 cards for beach towels and sent them to the room.
Number
The room was a standard room with a sea view. The room is really amazing! Very comfortable bathroom. I was worried that there would be little furniture, but in fact it turned out just right. All my dresses fit on hangers, and the rest of the things on the shelves were placed. Everything in the room is in good condition, the equipment is working. The sofa is about 190 cm long, the son, 1.75 m tall, fit quietly, they didn’t even lay it out. Decent size room, not cramped. The mattresses, by the way, were very comfortable. Plenty of outlets and good lighting. Very large balcony with a full dryer, table and 2 chairs. The room has a kettle, 2 cups, 2 saucers, 2 spoons, 2 glasses, 2 x 0.5 liters of water (only on arrival), TV, quiet air conditioner. The Internet worked more or less, when at the same time a large download - disappeared, and late in the evening you could watch online movies. The view from the room is bombing (we had a view of the sea and the stage, 5th floor)! You wake up in the morning, turn your head, and there is the sea. . . ))) Unforgettable sunsets in the evening. I sympathize with people who had a view of the opposite side, a new large building of Vallen Park is being built there. And although the construction site is mothballed in the summer, the view is bad.
Staff
Maids are smart! Upon arrival, they asked for an additional duvet cover (one blanket for two on the bed), another chair, bedding and towels for the 3rd person - everything was brought within 15 minutes. They came to clean every day, but we didn't need to do that often, so we only asked to take out the trash and add toilet paper when needed. Fully cleaned every 3 days, when they changed the bed, normal.
Nutrition
The food is excellent! There was always plenty to choose from. Desserts and fruits were also always in short supply. There were queues, but always at different times, so you can’t guess when it’s better to come. Breakfast 8.00-10.00, lunch 13.00-15.00, dinner 18.00-20.00. The waiters constantly walked around the hall and cleaned the dishes. Coffee and tea only in the morning, at lunchtime and for dinner, only compote and uzvar from drinks. The coffee is, frankly, disgusting. (You can buy at a bar in a restaurant or on the beach: Americano 30 UAH, Cappuccino 40 UAH, milkshake 75 UAH, beer 0.5 l 45 UAH, kvass 0.5 l 25 UAH, Pepsi 0.5 l 30 UAH. Coffee there better, but also not great. In the nearest cafes, Lavazza coffee is cheaper and tastier. There is also a restaurant "Sky" on the roof, where we planned to celebrate our wedding anniversary, but it did not work out - there is only seafood on the menu (we are not fans) and prices, especially for alcoholic drinks, which are a little high even by Kiev standards. I can recommend the Picnic pub (just across the road), there are bombing kebabs and Pizza & Steak, 100m to the right of the exit from the hotel, there is also a Marka supermarket nearby.
Territory
The area is sooo small for so many people! We arrived on Saturday, and the people were dark, a natural anthill. After lunch, we could hardly find sunbeds on the beach (there were no free pools) in the sun, everything is busy in the shade. Naturally, no social distance, people on top of each other. From the next day I had to borrow (I hate this! ) In the morning sunbeds in the shade, near the sports pool (this is a new pool, opened in June), there are fewer people. In general, some from the evening "reserved" sunbeds in circles, toys. ))) Since Monday, the number of people has become a little less, but the hotel needs to decide something about the awnings!
Sea
The sea is a nightmare! Small, green from algae, with jellyfish, and for some reason cold (this is in July! ). A couple of times it was only more or less clean.
Entertainment
Entertainment is only for small children, for them here is paradise! Animation during the day, every evening for them a mini-disco, though the music is so loud that it just takes out the brain. For adults only water aerobics in the pool. Also on Saturdays there are concerts of invited artists. We didn’t like it, it’s too loud, the repertoire and performance is so-so, and the music in the neighboring hotel rumbles in parallel, as if they are competing who is louder. At 22.30 there is silence in the hotel, in neighboring hotels it is quiet after 23.00.
Summary
A high-quality new Ukrainian hotel, probably one of the best on the coast. I can safely recommend it for families with children.
We are unlikely to come back here. We lacked a normal sea, awnings on the beach, umbrellas by the pools, more territory and normal, less loud music. We have never seen so many children on the beach, screaming and splashing in pools, running around in a restaurant! All the time they were afraid to step on one of them. ) But everyone has their own requirements for rest.
The general impression is positive. A small, well-thought-out territory, a large swimming pool, outdoor hydromassage for 8 seats and sea views, two children's pools. The pools are cleaned every day. There was enough space for everyone.
Everything on the territory is in flowers and fountains, people are constantly photographed. The territory is guarded, security and staff constantly monitor the bracelets on the hands of the guests.
The hotel positions itself as an elite establishment. Prices and pretentious entrance with expensive sofas constantly remind everyone of this. Two high-speed elevators, clean water (and not giving off hydrogen sulfide, as in most Koblevo bases) and the unusual design of the hotel on the first line from the sea - this is comfortable.
The rooms are spacious, bright, Mediterranean style. The bathroom is designed in an original way: the shower wall is frosted glass that opens onto the loggia. Fine furniture. Lots of outlets and light switches. Central air conditioning, controlled from the remote control, it is almost inaudible. The code safe is included in the room rate. There is also a hairdryer, wardrobe, refrigerator, kettle, cups and glasses. But there are no slippers and shelves for toothbrushes in the bathroom.
Our room overlooked the sea. There are no nightclubs in this part of the resort, and the administration took into account last year's comments about loud music from guests. On Saturday, from the balcony at sunset, they listened to a two-hour concert of the opera and variety studio: the stage is perfectly visible from the rooms overlooking the sea. The reverse side of the building overlooks a children's playground with animators, it is quite noisy there during the day.
Super-wide terraces on the 2nd floor offer guests relaxation on sun loungers without leaving the room. The idea is good, but half of the hotel admires the guests from above. It would be possible to have parties, but the yazhemati will be thrown with something from the balconies.
6th floor - pretentious (for prices) open-air restaurant with a panoramic view of the resort. We did not like it very much: the exit from the elevator on the restaurant floor is just terrible, plus the hotel does not fight mosquitoes.
Animation for children is, the kids were constantly busy with something. For adults, twice a day, half an hour of water aerobics.
The beach is spacious, with a rescue tower, umbrellas and a shady canopy. Sun loungers and beach towels are included in the price. Sun loungers are collected in the evening and put out after 8 am, lovers of swimming at dawn are not very happy. Nearby there is a bar, close to the toilets. Everything is as it should be.
The air-conditioned restaurant is huge, plus a large covered terrace. It's cool to drink decent coffee in the morning with a view of the pine trees and the sea. Meals on the "buffet" system, everything is delicious, the girls constantly brought something. Ice cream, pizza, good coffee, beer and alcohol - for a separate cost in bars (in a restaurant and by the beach). The food is sooo decent, the choice is not bad, there is both meat and fish. I liked the "craft" honey kvass, which is brewed by ourselves.
Prices for Koblevo are prohibitive. In comparison with Turkey, they are approximately equal to 4 *. In the minus - Limanskaya water: either muddy, or transparent and icy due to the bottom.
A hotel for the public who value local safety and comfort, and for some reason cannot rest abroad.
