Rested in the "Paradise" with his family in July. What we liked: location - on the embankment; the presence of two, albeit small, pools; interesting interior of the cafe (and the whole territory), a lot of greenery, flowers; excellent cooking; sea ​ ​ view from the room, free Wi-Fi.

What we liked: location - on the embankment; the presence of two, albeit small, pools; interesting interior of the cafe (and the whole territory), a lot of greenery, flowers; excellent cooking; sea ​ ​ view from the room, free Wi-Fi.
What I didn't like: 1. Parking a car in a garage (by the way, booked in advance) does not necessarily imply the possibility of using your car whenever you want - the cars are one after another and the valet is forced to look for another car owner. The administration considers that these are "valet parking problems" (this is a quote), forgetting that it is she who reserves the parking spaces.
2. Intrusive service of cleaners - upon check-in, we were notified that the room was cleaned only if you put the appropriate sign on the door, in reality, several times around 9.00 in the morning we were woken up (sleeping according to the schedule? ) with a proposal to clean the room.
3. Water for washing and shower - the temperature "jumps" all the time.
4. The wonderful smell of the sea (building No. 4) sometimes interfered with the not always wonderful smell from the kitchen, because the air extract of the kitchen is located almost opposite the windows.
5. In the descriptions on the website of 2-room suites, it is "modestly" silent that one of the rooms has no windows.
6. When you check in, the Administration requires you to leave a deposit (document or money! ) Is this a manifestation of distrust towards customers? Apparently, yes. This fact is not very consistent with European standards.
In general, of course, the holiday was a success. I hope that the listed shortcomings will disappear. Sincerely, Alex.

We are only from "Paradise"! Emotions are overwhelming, so I decided to share my impressions, maybe it will help someone else make their choice in favor of a good vacation! I'll start with what I liked the most - it's silence and comfort. The hotel is located on the embankment of the Professor's Corner, where there are not a large number of entertainment facilities with screaming music from everywhere, which allows you to fully enjoy what I personally go to the sea for - the relaxing sound of the sea! Also, it is not as crowded there as on the central embankment, which also makes it possible to protect yourself from the worldly fuss that bothers in cities. … More ▾ We are only from "Paradise"!

I'll start with what I liked the most - it's silence and comfort. The hotel is located on the embankment of the Professor's Corner, where there are not a large number of entertainment facilities with screaming music from everywhere, which allows you to fully enjoy what I personally go to the sea for - the relaxing sound of the sea! Also, it is not as crowded there as on the central embankment, which also makes it possible to protect yourself from the worldly fuss that bothers in cities. But along with all this - this place is not cut off from civilization, the center is within easy reach, and there you will find a market and shops and all kinds of entertainment and entertainment venues.
The hotel itself is very cozy and unusual! It does not have standard corridors and floors, the rooms are "scattered" around the territory and looking at the boarding house from the embankment you can't immediately say that it accommodates so many rooms, a very cozy cafe and two swimming pools. The hotel area is like an oasis, just as green and blooming with an artificial stream. The view from the balconies is just amazing! What bliss to look at the sea, sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Another, not significant, but pleasant moment (for me personally), a squirrel came to visit us on the balcony.
As for the service, of course there is room to grow, but against the background of all the other advantages, it seemed to me not significant and, by and large, there was nothing that would spoil the mood. Simply, the impression was that the staff had not yet "swinged", while we were not denied a single request.
I want to say a lot more, but I can’t convey everything, you need to check it yourself! In general, I advise everyone to stay in "Paradise")))).

The location of the hotel is chic, all the same, a professorial corner. Quiet cozy place. Who was on the central - always screaming embankment, he will understand. The hotel was not the first time. (but in past trips were much more positive) The advantages of the hotel are all known, the location is right on the waterfront, from the balconies there is a gorgeous view of the sun and the sea. … More ▾ The location of the hotel is chic, all the same, a professorial corner.

The hotel was not the first time. (but in past trips were much more positive)
The advantages of the hotel are all known, the location is right on the waterfront, from the balconies there is a gorgeous view of the sun and the sea. Also, the presence of two pools (one does not count - it is very small and is located near the bar). It also has its own restaurant.
Now about the cons of our last trip.
When booking a room, they promised a warm pool (since we were traveling with a child, and the sea was +17 in early May), which became a fundamental factor when choosing a hotel (there were other options)
As a result, the pool was cold all week. The administration responded to complaints that they always measure the temperature in the pool and it is 20 degrees. But 20 degrees is very cold water for the pool!! ! They replied that they constantly pour hot water into it. In general, everyone knows that the water in the pool should be 25-27 degrees. (for example, Olympic pools are 22 degrees, but this is for athletes and records). As a result, the pool warmed up to our county. (and child
swam in it once)
The next minus is the kitchen. (it seems that they have changed the chef since our last visit to them)
It’s easy to check - they ordered CAESAR (the cost is like that of Caesar, but the execution is disgusting, it seems that the chef ate this salad only on Alushta embankment in an eatery, the sauce doesn’t match, the chicken is smoked, a pinch of iceberg, and a couple of leaves of the usual lettuce) Everything else is typical for Crimean cafes. But there is a plus - they know how to cook buckwheat and rice, also good chicken cutlets, and of course a standard vegetable salad (it is impossible to spoil), i. e. The kids always have something to eat there.
Also striking was the strange work of the waiters. Sometimes they just don't exist. Or, if they are, they are not always in a hurry to approach you. For example, we arrived in the evening, went to a restaurant after a long trip (this was on the day of arrival). Sat down - no waiters. I approached the administrator - I asked if the kitchen was working, they answered yes. We sat for a while, no one was there. He went down to the kitchen, asked the chef if they were working, he replied that yes, of course, all the waiters were in place. In general, we sat for another 20 minutes, then the child got nervous and we went to the room. (It's good that we had food with us on the road).
The same situations were in the morning, the waiters need to drink coffee : ). (but we did not wait more than 10 minutes)
In general, the result, although there are disadvantages, but in comparison with other Crimean places, this is still normal and you can go there. Just simply set yourself up in advance that this is all the same Crimea. And there can be no question of any miracle service. Then no one will spoil your holiday mood.
By the way, parking was free! : )

The hotel is located on Alushta embankment, by the way, it has changed quite a lot in recent years for the better. We took a room for 635 UAH. per day. The room is clean, new furniture, appliances work properly. The room was overlooking the sea... it's just unique to meet sunrises and sunsets from the balcony of this room. … More ▾ The hotel is located on Alushta embankment, by the way, it has changed quite a lot in recent years for the better.
We took a room for 635 UAH. per day. The room is clean, new furniture, appliances work properly. The room was overlooking the sea... it's just unique to meet sunrises and sunsets from the balcony of this room. The hotel area itself is small, but all in wonderful plants, flowers, cozy in a word. There is a cafe, they cook well. We took breakfast. For two, we got 60 UAH.
The hotel has its own beach, located opposite 20 m. Sunbeds for a fee - 1 hour - 5 UAH, for the whole day - 30 UAH. The sea has pebbles, the water is azure, clean and warm. In terms of beauty, the Black Sea in this place is only a little inferior Red Sea!
Walking along the embankment, we went to lunch in cafes that cannot be counted. At prices, on average, lunch for two people is 150-200 UAH.
I left the hotel "Rai" in a very positive mood, I think you will like it here too! Have a good rest!

Very nice hotel. An ideal place to relax. Alushta is a noisy city, many tourists and just hellish karaoke on the embankment, but in the Professor's Corner (where the hotel is located) it is quiet and calm. We had a room with an amazing sea view. The room is very comfortable, cleaning was every day, everything worked properly. … More ▾ Very nice hotel. An ideal place to relax.

There are two pools with sun loungers nearby. Beach "Seagull" is not far, just a 2-minute walk. In general, I liked everything very much, the weather was wonderful and the sea is calm! True, I can’t leave reviews about the hotel’s cafe, because. we usually went for a walk after the beach and ate where the menu is more like it.

For three years they rested in "Paradise". I really liked it, but this year I didn’t dare to book a room there, prices rose exorbitantly, while there was no private beach, which is included in the price of the tour, but a visit to the communal beach was offered for 5-10gr. , It is clear that on a similar beach the rest is completely different level. … More ▾ For three years they rested in "Paradise".

In addition, from the webcam you can watch how construction work is underway under the balconies of the boarding house, i. e. in the summer there will be cafes, loud music, smells, etc. , and we loved "Paradise" for its silence, cleanliness and wonderful rest. I'm afraid it won't happen this year. If anyone has more information, please share. Lyudmila.

I was very surprised that there is not a single review of "Paradise", although this is a well-known vacation spot in Alushta. The boarding house is located on the embankment between the center of Alushta and the Professor's corner, next to the water park. From our room on the third floor, such an amazing view of the sea opened up, really HEAVEN! The territory is small, on which only 5 buildings fit, a small cafe with delicious food, two small pools, one with sea water, the other with fresh water. … More ▾ I was very surprised that there is not a single review of "Paradise", although this is a well-known vacation spot in Alushta.

The territory is small, on which only 5 buildings fit, a small cafe with delicious food, two small pools, one with sea water, the other with fresh water. As such, you don’t feel the buildings inside this courtyard, there are stairs and entrances to the rooms all around, but everything is so interestingly decorated. Very polite, good staff, the girls at the reception are just wonderful. The room was cleaned every day, the room is chic, a lot of lockers, air conditioning, TV, refrigerator. Very large balcony with sun loungers where you can sunbathe or just relax. There is no private beach, but according to the cards of the boarding house, the entrance to the beach opposite the boarding house (in my opinion belongs to Chaika) is free. In general, a very cozy place, we all really, really liked it !!! ! Of the minuses: the children are bored there, although many were with children, and from our balcony the view was slightly spoiled by the roofs of other buildings.
