Rested at the hotel for two days at the end of August 2019.
Walking along the Zatoka embankment, it is difficult to pass by Moncastro: it stands out among the first-line hotels, both for its architecture and infrastructure on the coast.
We arrived in a big group. Since the rooms were booked in advance, the check-in was quick.
At the check-in desk, a bracelet is put on the hand, which provides the opportunity to use the hotel's infrastructure.
In addition, two cards are issued: one is the key to the room, the second is to turn on the electricity. This is convenient, as leaving the room you can leave electrical appliances on charge.
The video on the main page of the hotel website is completely true: the rooms, pools, and restaurants look like they are shown.
My room is Standard on the third floor with side sea view.
Cozy, clean, comfortable.
Soundproofing is acceptable.
The mattress and pillows are comfortable.
All electrical appliances worked, there were more than three outlets.
There are 4 clothes hangers in the closet.
The air conditioner is located above the front door, so the flow of cooled air goes past the bed, which in my opinion is correct. It works almost silently, turns on only when the door to the balcony is completely closed.
TV with a diagonal of 32 inches with a good set of mainly Ukrainian channels. Despite the presence of instructions, it was difficult to set it up, I even had to use the help of the staff, but then it worked well.
Wi-Fi in the room and on the territory is fast and stable, on the beach - intermittently.
There is an electric kettle (in addition to it, tea, coffee and sugar bags are free of charge), a small safe (did not use) and a refrigerator with a set of soft drinks and a couple of chocolate bars (for a fee).
I was surprised by the lack of bottled water, which is usually offered to guests in hotels of this level as a compliment.
The exit to the balcony is protected by a mosquito net: you can enjoy the sea air and be completely protected from mosquitoes.
On the balcony - a table, two chairs, clothes dryer.
Bathroom with shower. Above the large mirror there is an additional lamp, which is convenient when shaving.
From cosmetic accessories - soap, shampoo, shower gel.
There are bathrobes, disposable slippers, three towels per person and one extra for feet.
Plumbing was good and worked well.
There is a hair dryer.
Of the minuses - a sharp, unpleasant smell when you turn on the water in the shower, and the temperature of this water is well warm, but not hot.
The pool on the seventh floor is wonderful, compact, with a beautiful view of the sea.
The water temperature is 23-24 degrees.
Next to the pool is an area with comfortable sun loungers.
There are umbrellas to hide from direct sunlight and several tables.
The bar next to the pool prepares delicious cocktails, including non-alcoholic ones.
There is a toilet at the exit.
The pool on the second floor is larger. But the water is colder too. According to my feelings, it was no more than 22 degrees.
But there is a jacuzzi area with a comfortable water temperature and pleasant bubbles, but it is almost always busy.
Comfortable sun loungers and tables are placed next to the pool.
There were always empty seats on sun loungers, both on the second and on the seventh floor.
On the second floor, near the restaurant, there is a playroom for children.
Breakfast is included in the room rate.
The two breakfasts I attended were varied but not much different from each other.
Boiled potatoes, rice with vegetables, cauliflower, grilled zucchini, boiled sausages and smoked sausages, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, pancakes, milk porridges: rice and buckwheat, cutting of 5-6 types of sausages and ham and 4-5 types of cheese (including with mold), salted fish, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, green and blue olives, cottage cheese, butter, jams, preserves, honey, 3-4 types of pastries, muesli, raisins, dried apricots, nuts, watermelons , melons, plums, pears, grapes.
From drinks - milk, kefir, fermented baked milk, kefir, juices, coffee, tea.
Everything was fresh and tasty!
We also ordered lunch and dinner from the restaurant and were also satisfied.
At the exit from the hotel to the beach, there is a special area in which sun loungers, beds and tents belonging to the hotel are located.
This infrastructure can be used by anyone for a certain price, and Moncastro guests receive a 25% discount (prices can be seen on the photo).
In our case, sun loungers were already included in the cost of the holiday.
It was comfortable to rest on them, and umbrellas protected well from the sun.
The sand on the beach is coarse and dark. The area between the sun loungers and the sea was dirty: bags, leftover food, cigarette butts.
The entrance to the sea is smooth, gentle.
During the day there were waves on the sea, so the water is with a suspension of sand, but warm, and in the morning it is calm, transparent, but cold (it feels like 18 degrees).
A huge plus of the hotel is the service provided for the issuance and replacement of beach towels. They can be obtained and changed both on the beach and near any of the pools, and do this several times a day. This is very convenient, as there is no need to dry the towel in the room or on the balcony. The towels are big and good quality.
The hotel also offers water equipment rental. The rental point is located near the exit to the beach.
Near the rental point there is a cafe where you can have a snack and drink cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
But be careful: there are no price tags in some refrigerators, and if you do not ask the price before buying, but rely on the decency of the bartender, they can cheat. So one of our company was sold a bottle of PEPSI 0.5 liter for 25 hryvnia, and another the same bottle for 40 hryvnia.
Another feature of the hotel - the price is for two people in a room. And if you decide to relax alone, then all the same, pay for two.
In general, there are much more pluses in this hotel than minuses and, in my opinion, Moncastro is one of the best, and maybe the best hotel in Zatoka
