We took a standard superior room (+ in what is closer to the sea, and you don’t need to stomp uphill in the heat, right opposite it is the entrance to the gym and the entrance to the dining room a little to the side, so to speak, all the strategically important objects are nearby)). The cost of living included: use of the swimming pool, buffet breakfast and dinner, use of the gym.
1. As for the rooms - the rooms are new, clean, bright and spacious. The furniture is new, a large number of shelves and cabinets, lamps, a flat-screen TV with a large selection of channels, air conditioning, a dryer. The room has a set of dishes (cups, saucers, glasses, spoons - everything is clean and new), the electric kettle is new, clean, without scale, etc. Shower towels are snow-white - they are changed every 3 days, for the beach they are also present, terry, large, bed linen every 5 days. Every day, 2 bottles of water of 1.5 liters each (with and without gas) are brought to the room.
2. as for the pool - we visited there 1 time to get acquainted (my husband and I are fans of the sea), the pool is good - large, clean, the view from it is amazing, there are not very many people, there is a special flooring by the pool (rubber crumb), a lot of sun loungers, bar, toilet. There is a small pool for children. in general, there are a lot of vacationers with children and it’s clear why - everything is done for the convenience of families with kids, a special area next to the pool with a games department (pool with balls, slides), carousels. In the dining room there is a huge selection of dishes for little ones "I will or won't" and "eat, it's healthy", more about this in the paragraph about the dining room.

3. About the dining room - it's just a belly feast. I have never seen such delicious food in any 5 * all inclusive. Breakfast: everything. what can only come into your head - cereals with milk, thin pancakes (separately sour cream, condensed milk, honey, jam, nuts, dried fruits). Cottage cheese: with sugar, with raisins, just cottage cheese. Omelet, scrambled eggs with ham, steamed chicken cutlets, sausages, several types of sausage, ham and cheese (actually meat sausage, and not as soy surrogates happen), puff pastry, custard, shortbread. For lunch, there is always a choice of 2 soups - always very meaty, be it chicken noodles or kharcho. I won’t even talk about the 2nd - if there is such an abundance for breakfast. Unlimited pies with cabbage, potatoes and meat, aspic with tongue, Caesar salad, etc. We never took dinner there, since you need to pay extra for it, and this is 800 rubles. from the nose - I'm sure that it was worth the money, but I wanted to spend this meal on coastal cafes. Just a few words about them. At the end of the embankment there is a restaurant at the Hellas Hotel - also a buffet, where dinner cost 450 rubles. We did not eat there, friends shared their impressions - hearty, but the choice is meager. A little closer, directly above the sea shore, there is another cafe-bar where all kinds of barbecues are prepared. Not very expensive and quite tasty. And closest to the Marine pizzeria (as I understand it, and it refers to the hotel, maybe in the evening there are waiters from our dining room). Everything in the pizzeria is delicious - pizza is beyond praise, Caesar salad is very satisfying. The only eternal problem with seafood is how many times they wanted to order a sea burger - there were never ingredients.
4. In short, about the shops on the waterfront and nearby - everything is very expensive. There is an open tray by the pool - they sell fruit there. 2 times more expensive than in Alushta. On the 1st day we went to Alushta (there is a bus schedule at the reception, although it can be difficult to get into it) While we were standing in line for the bus, we met tourists from Hellas - they have a very convenient service at the hotel, call the reception, call the number and come to you arrives at a fixed rate of 300r. to Alushta, as three hundred explained, this is the initiative of their owner, because Semidvorye is still a village slightly out of the way from city life (which, in general, is fine in my opinion), the owner decided to make an inexpensive fixed fee for trips to the city so that the guests would not get bored )). Perhaps this service is also in Morskoy, because I heard the owner of the hotels is the same, but we did not specify. If you ask the taxi drivers that they are standing at the embankment there, the dachshund will immediately be 500 rubles. in general, we drove on a comfortable new Volkswagen minivan to the market square (a bus drops off tourists there). There is a supermarket near the square, below they sell alcohol, and on top of the food - the choice is not very large, but you can buy fruit, beer at the same price as in a cafe on the waterfront. Imported juice is very expensive, they took Kuban nectars - they are cheap. We walked along the Alushta embankment and once again realized what an indisputable plus is that we do not live in the city. The beach is an anthill, everywhere hectic and dirty. Souvenirs are better to buy here in the market. as the hotel or on excursions will be more expensive.
5. Semidvorie itself is 2 or 3 hotels along the landscaped embankment. The embankment is new and clear, with a lot of benches overlooking the sea, there are not very many lanterns, so when the moon is small, it's a bit dark. My husband and I are not fans of nightlife. since we get up at 7 in the morning, so we didn’t need more, although we saw in the afternoon somewhere at the end of the Hellas hotel a sign for a disco.
6. Gym. Located in the same building as the dining room. New, there are several simulators, a lot of dumbbells of different weights, if you want and skill, charging goes with a bang) The windows offer a view of the sea, the windows can be opened, just opposite there is an exercise bike, it feels like you are rushing into the blue distance. One minus is no air conditioning. 2 open windows don't help.

7. And now the main thing is the sea. Sea for an amateur. In terms of space and sun loungers - everything is wonderful. The beach is rocky pebbles - from 3 days you also get used to it. There are huge boulders at the entrance to the sea - this is a huge minus for families with children and elderly vacationers. While there were - almost all week there were waves - so the people were splashing near the shore: it’s a joy for us young to ride, splash, but it’s hard for the elderly and children - the wave will blow them onto a stone. My husband bruised my legs, I'm on my arms. I see no problem in simply removing these stones from there. But for some reason no one cared about it.
The rest of the rest delighted.
