“Don't compare us with Turkey! This is Crimea, and here you have to pay for every step! ” With this phrase, uttered by the girl from the reception, our vacation in Hellas, in Semidvore, began.
The hotel has 6 floors, dining room, cafe, reception and beach are on the 1st floor. There is no elevator (!!! ), saved to see. Bags from the parking lot, since it is located at the exit of the 4th floor, were carried on the shoulders. The hotel does not have a luggage service staff.
The room is clean, spacious, bright, has air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, kettle.

Beach. The long coastline - pebbles with crushed stone mixed with clay resembles a construction site. Sun loungers and awnings (not many) for free. Umbrellas and beach towels - for rent, for a fee. Sun loungers placed under awnings are occupied by people from 5 in the morning, and some from the evening. The occupation of a deck chair occurs by laying out a slipper, a ball, a handkerchief on them. Some sun loungers are even tied together with towels (! ), apparently, so as not to be dragged away. As a result, places on sun loungers under a canopy are occupied around the clock. Even though people don't use them.
But beach workers do not “get over” this situation. Their task is to check the guest card so that “strangers” do not go to THEIR beach, despite the fact that you can get to the hotel only through security 2 km from the hotel itself.
The beach is not cleaned, bottles left after negligent vacationers, heads of corn, can be seen daily in the same place.
Eatery. Kiev prices, Crimean quality. For example, in Ukrainian borscht, a thick ball of twisted bacon floats, exfoliated from (I hope) minced meat, with which borscht was seasoned. Cutlery was once wrapped in toilet paper (!!! ).
When the cafe administrator remarked about this disgrace, they answered us that it was a special cooking technology and... such special napkins.
The hotel staff and waiters inadequately respond to comments.
That is, in my opinion, no one is determined to improve the quality of service and living conditions.
In general, if it were not for the food situation and the obscene attitude of the hotel staff towards vacationers, you can go for a couple of days.
