Dear vacationers, drive past Arcadia Gold! Read reviews! As some wrote from "Gold" only the price, but not the quality! The hotel was chosen spontaneously, I liked the "picture" and the colorful description, plus we missed the rooms from Motor Sich. We arrived at 9 in the morning, talked to a nice administrator "perhydrol blonde", paid for the accommodation and we were told that it was possible to go to the dining room, and then take a walk, because the settlement is only at 14:00 or a little earlier if the room is suddenly free. The area is clean, but not particularly well-groomed. Entering the dining room and looking around, disturbing thoughts began to visit me. The dining room is stuffy, there are no air conditioners, untidy appearance of the attendants, chairs of various sizes with broken backs or seats, dirty and disheveled mats for plates on the tables, tattered sets with spices, chipped plates and cups without handles. In the bathrooms, the sinks for washing hands are simply terrible, cheap plumbing is shabby and rusty, the button for liquid soap is dirty, I wanted to open and close the tap with my feet. As it turned out later, a blown-up red-haired aunt who "looks" in the hall does not know how to behave in conflict situations. Grub (it’s hard to call it food) is “crisis” like in a hospital or a nursing home, especially “pleased” for breakfast sticky pasta with cartilage, if someone orders baby food, the difference is that there will be milk porridge for breakfast, and lunch and dinner half a portion of the usualfood, if you have a normal healthy man with you, get ready to run around the shops for food. Now back to the settlement; there is no soap in the suite, no shampoo, one roll of gray toilet paper was issued for two weeks for four, the taps are shabby, as in the canteen, fungus thrives in the shower. The room was declared a double bed, but it turned out to be just two beds made up together with a wooden beam in the center, there was also a sofa bed. Of the pluses, it was in the room that there was air conditioning, a kettle and a perforated refrigerator. The soundproofing is very poor, or rather, it doesn’t exist at all, you could hear the neighbor downstairs snoring at night, and given that we had two kids, our neighbors could only sympathize, although they tried to be indignant, but I quickly pointed them out the exact direction towards the administration. During the two weeks of our stay, the room was never cleaned by the staff, I would be glad to clean it myself, but there was only a broom without a scoop and there was not a single rag or mop for cleaning, the bed was not changed and the towels were changed only after a request from the administration. If you want to order an extra bed, then believe me it’s better to sleep on the floor, they will bring you a crippled folding bed with a thin foam mattress, on which even a child is not comfortable sleeping. By the way, the declared Internet also did not turn out to be in practice, sometimes if you were lucky it was possible to catch it near the administration or the pool. The pool is the only normal place at the base, clean and transparent with umbrellas and sun loungers, a normal sane bartender, although sometimes our insane citizens managed to take places in the morning with towels, and come to the pool after lunch or in the evening (I know several hotels where if a sun lounger withtowel is not used for 30-40 minutes, the towel is removed). And now the most important thing is why we came - the sea. It seems not far from the beach, but you need to go down from the slope if you have a stroller, then you can safely leave it at home, go down the stepped concrete, then you come to the smelly dirty swamp teeming with snakes, which for some reason is called "estuary" pass along the skewed woodenbridge with protruding nails and finally go to the coveted beach. The beach is stupidly tryndets: there are no umbrellas, but there are, like, two coverings of about 10 by 5 meters with a mesh roof and the places under them are occupied from dawn, plus 20 pieces of wooden sunbeds that were always busy, there’s even nowhere to change clothes, there is one cabin near the swamp and thatwith only three walls, of course there is no shower, water and toilet on the beach! A third of the beach is overgrown with grass with thorns, a lot of cigarette butts in the sand, rusty traffic jams, i. e. especially with cleaning and cleaning the beach, do not bother. There are also no medical staff at the base. There is some children's entertainment in the evening, animators Yaroslav and Irina entertained as best they could. To be honest, I did not understand what the money was paid for. What surprised me the most was the eviction. After a call to the reception, an aunt ran in, as it initially seemed to me to be a cleaning lady (as it turned out later, this was the second administrator of the "blonde" shift) and, with a displeased face, began to tell that we had moved the beds apart and that we would put everything in place, I suggested that we could wash the room andto stretch the bed, but the aunt did not stop telling how poor and unfortunate everyone here is, there is no one to even move the bed, in short, the clinic. Who is going to go after all, take beach umbrellas, bedding with you, and also do not forget to take with you or buy toilet paper, soap, shampoo, clothespins, a couple of cleaning rags, a basin for washing, drinking water, more food, cupswith handles. I don’t know what to go to Arcadia for, in fact, there’s nothing there for the amount you paid off, the beach sucks, Galim food, there is no entertainment (except for the TV with seven channels) and if you come for a week, then you will have to go to the poolto pay. If you did not have time to book a verified base, then there is no point in going to this place. The service is boorish and disregard, below the level of a low-profile Soviet sanatorium. Judging by some situations that I observed, the director and staff are from the same field of berries and there is no point in arguing with them or proving something. I wish this database a speedy desolation and decay, perhaps the next owner and a good manager will be able to put everything in order!
