Yes, it's not close to the airport, but the driver met us, helped with things, children and my bad mood! We also booked a car, as well as air tickets, in Laspi. Excellent service - the whole tour is fully thought out, and I just choose.
Argo is not one hotel, but three, you can choose a room in a cottage or in a building. There is a swimming pool, which is just a salvation for children. The beach is a village one, but it is for those who stay in Argo that they have their own area with sun loungers and awnings.
The rooms are modern, stylishly selected textiles and overall design.
Children are entertained by animators, there is a playground, and the restaurant even had a high chair for my youngest. The room is cleaned every day, towels and linen are changed regularly. If requested, they brought it outside the schedule.
Be sure to go to the spa. While I was with the children, I found out what procedures there are, and as soon as my husband arrived, I immediately went to do everything. I took pearl baths, chocolate wrap and went with my husband to the hammam. The baths were not impressive, but everything else was very pleasant.
It is 20 kilometers from the hotel to Alushta, we went to the aquarium and then on excursions to the water park and the dolphinarium.
Swedish-style meals, I ordered a special diet table for the youngest, everything was done clearly. In general, the staff is very responsive, which was important to me. Everyone willingly helped with the children, explained and told. I hope that next year we will go with friends and rent a cottage!
+:
1. Gorgeous administrators, this level is not always in the top five in Europe, the girls are all friendly, responsive, the highest level of service!
2. Cleaning is daily and very high quality, not annoying cleaners, linen and towels were changed every two days, including beach ones.
3. Spa center right in the hotel, a little expensive massage, and everything else at an adequate price.
4. I liked the live music, if you eat with children there will be great animation every day and a pool right on the territory.
5. Good rooms, everything is there.
6. Great dinner
-:
1. Poor breakfast, since the temperature is high, sausage and cheese are already ventilated by 10 o'clock and have a brilliant appearance.
2. Obviously, something needs to be done with the beach, the beach from the hotel, since it opened recently, is not yet equipped at all, you can’t enter the water, everything is in stones, there is a very unpleasant smell throughout the beach (I don’t know where exactly, but it’s a fact) We didn’t have enough sunbeds, although the hotels were not 100% full. The beach at Courage is more equipped, there are no stones and there are more sunbeds (paid). restaurants, or from houses, a seemingly oily liquid flows with pieces of garbage. And all this flows into the sea, of course, right where people swim, it is not surprising that only 5 people were poisoned in Argo in turn.
3. An expensive transfer from the airport is 2000 rubles, as far as I know there is a car in the property for good, it should be half the price to attract visitors.
4. If there are problems with the vestibular apparatus, the location of the hotel is not suitable, children cannot stand 25 km along the serpentine, they vomit the entire minibus.
The hotel has parking, a swimming pool, sun loungers, an indoor and outdoor restaurant. Very nice decor of the hotel! We rented a room for 1000 hryvnia / day. The room is not very big, but nice, cozy, average bathroom, large bed, baby crib, wardrobe, TV, refrigerator, split, balcony overlooking the fountain in the courtyard of the hotel. In general, there are no complaints about the hotel and the staff. Although there is one minus - it's the sea! I didn’t like the beach, some kind of crushed pebbles, it stains my feet, the water is all the time stirred up because of it. But we did not look for another beach, maybe there is better!
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.
