Today I returned from vacation and will try to objectively share my impressions : )
In general, Demerdzhi is a fairly good resort hotel. It was evident how much was done to make him one of the best in his category, at least in Alushta.
Those disadvantages that my family saw are related to the fact that we rested in the most expensive boarding house room - a three-room suite in a cottage (room 413). In theory, a suite, it should be a suite in Africa, but our room did not fit into this category in any way. For example, there were no bathrobes in the room, as in any normal 3 star hotels. It is clear that in such a heat they were not much needed, but it is precisely such trifles that form the general impression and the decision to come or not next time. I'll go on with these little things. A three-room apartment with a kitchen, in which, in principle, 6 adults can be accommodated - and only 1 bathroom. This, to put it mildly, is not very convenient, although it also seems to be a trifle. In the bathroom itself, weak general lighting, it was problematic for me to shave or conjure with cosmetics for my wife - it was dim. We can say - there is nothing to do on vacation with such things : ) In general, a lot was done carelessly in the bathroom, tyap-blunder, and it did not close from the inside.

Move on. Two bedrooms, living room and kitchenette. It is logical to assume that each of the bedrooms and living room will have air conditioning. But here again a trifle - there is only one air conditioner in the living room. Very uncomfortable. There is also a small LCD TV in the living room. It was not clear to me why not to hang a TV in each of the bedrooms, because there was an antenna socket in the bedrooms. Yes, and in the living room it hung at such a height that it was comfortable to watch it only while standing - VVK TV with a small viewing angle. Also in the bedroom there were jacks for the phone, but one could only dream about it.
It is also unclear why there was no Internet in the most expensive hotel room. Or rather, he was, but... Either you need to go sit down at the computer at the reception (for the suite, work at the computer is free), or the net is within a radius of several meters from it. It's elementary - to bring the grid to two cottages or simply expand it, covering the entire territory of the hotel with a wireless grid. Another rumbling disco until 23 in the park sometimes prevented the child from falling asleep normally (the bedroom had to open the window, because there was no air conditioning, and the window overlooked the city park).
From other observations, which slightly blurred the good impression of the hotel. Wonderful hotel beach, about next to the public, back to back. And you watch a picture of how some comrades there are spitting and blowing their noses on pebbles. How do I know what they are sick with? Although Demerdzhi accepts different people on trade union vouchers, once I saw a similar picture on our beach. It's a shame that almost always the sea was either muddy or dirty - the pool saved. In one bar for all of the soft drinks there was only drinking water and hibiscus, in the other, for the suites - juice from bags and mineral water. So a wide selection of soft drinks, fruits in bars - somehow it did not work out. But with one sort of beer, two wines and something strong liquor - no problem.
But I will blame the hotel, but all four of us got sick, some kind of fast-flowing sore throat - a day or two and everything is in order. We talked with other vacationers - almost everyone is like that. Most likely, we picked up something in the sea.
In addition, everything else in the hotel is wonderful - territory, food, its own beach, staff attitude, animators, swimming pool, paid : ) medical procedures.
The child (5 years old) was most satisfied due to the proximity of the park with numerous attractions - the problem of organizing his leisure time was successfully solved.

Will we go to this hotel next year? Hardly, too many inconvenient little things. You want to get the most for your money. Probably, like last year, we will go to Utes (Santa Barbara, the Vila al Mari hotel, or we will go to Bulgaria or Croatia, as the year before).
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer, there are also a lot of photos - I will send them to anyone who needs them.
