Stayed in the Camelot building. In general, there were ambiguous impressions about the hotel: on the one hand, a really good comfortable hotel, with attentive staff, in general, it is quite consistent with the Mediterranean four stars. A good pool, a good menu in the restaurant, the staff listen to requests and try to meet halfway.
On the other hand, there are nuances. The feeling that the hotel manager used to run some kind of Soviet sanatorium, or a shack in the private sector. For the staff, although attentive, sometimes simply does not understand the specifics of service in hotels, and does not understand that it is simply impossible to do some things.
They may well knock on the door and say "let's quickly clean it up here, you won't bother us. " I won't bother them!
In a restaurant, they might say "well, why do you put a dirty cup here, don't you see, this is a clean table? ".

In general, remarks to customers are practically the norm at the hotel. "Don't sit at this table, " "don't jump into the pool with splashes, " the style of communication between staff and customers is not exactly familiar, but somewhat soviet-sanatorium. Hortatory. And it is clear that people do not do this on purpose, but simply no one taught them a different, normal style of work. Because of this, sometimes you get the feeling that you are either in a pioneer camp, or you owe something to someone, having arrived here.
Towels in the room, the very ones that deigned to leave "from
for one "for the four days of my stay there they never changed. Bed linen - too. In the bathroom there are no shampoos, soap, napkins, usual for four-star hotels, in stock - those same unfortunate towels (three pieces per person: for the face, for the body, and lay on the floor when leaving the shower, which is not bad), hair dryer, toilet paper (thank God).
In general, the economy should be economical, all that...
In the rest, everything is not bad. The rooms are clean, there are air conditioners (even quiet ones), cable TV, Wi-Fi - intermittent, but free. For some reason, there are no chairs, armchairs, anything in the rooms on which one could sit and write, work at a computer - apparently, it is believed that the bed is enough. The pool is beautiful, and in general the hotel is beautiful, the water in the pool is clean. There is no lift. Five minutes walk to the sea, however, back - uphill. Prices in the hotel restaurant are two to four times higher than in restaurants in the village, but this is kind of normal.
In general, mixed impressions: the hotel can be recommended to those who rarely stay in four-star hotels in Europe and are not particularly demanding of their own privacy and inconspicuousness of the staff, and who are ready to endure a little pioneer camp for the sake of quite acceptable comfort. I rated "7" (a good hotel, but there are some comments), although for me personally these comments are quite critical, and if I'm going to the Southern coast of Crimea, I'm unlikely to consider it as a place where I would like to stay.
