I rested with my family (wife and boys 13 and 3 years old) in August 2018, duration 14 days. Park-hotel "Romanova" chose purposefully. Firstly, in some way I had heard a lot about this hotel and wanted to see it with my own eyes. Secondly, a hotel in the Crimea was considered for recreation (never been there), so that in Evpatoria (sandy beaches), with its own beach with sun loungers (you can within walking distance), with full board (do not think about cooking on vacation), with a menu for children and children's entertainment (child 3 years old). Friends mentioned this hotel and decided to try it.
We must start with the fact that the name of the hotel is in honor of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova, who in 1916 came to the opening of a military hospital. Then the hotel building was a hospital during the Great Patriotic War.
Currently, this is the territory of the old sanatorium "Helios". The business is put up for sale on CIAN for 5 million USD. e. or 412 million rubles.
, but while the sanatorium works. In October 2017, there was a change in the founders, now there are some founders A. Garkavy (1%) and the rest of the shares directly from Sanatorium Helios LLC (99%). The previous owners from Ukraine withdrew from the founders. The director of the sanatorium is a certain Nadzhafov R. R. since December 2017 (he has a Kaliningrad TIN). That is, the sanatorium is still under sale. Tourists are accommodated by the Reservation Service of Happy Seasons Evpatoria LLC, which began operating in February 2016. Director and founder since July 2018 Matveeva L. D. (TIN from the Smolensk region). And finally, Goodfoot Company LLC from Sevastopol, registered in September 2015, is engaged in catering for tourists in the restaurant. Director and founder Litvinskaya A. A. (TIN Sevastopol).
In general, they work according to the usual scheme to optimize taxation and avoid risks associated with clients and their food.
Happy Seasons and Goodfoot come to the outdated but repaired base of Helios, work in the summer, skim off the money, and then rent the object back to Helios. They do not have any particular risks of bankruptcy; you can come to them for a holiday.
We drove from Simferopol to Evpatoria for more than 2 hours, although the distance there is only about 75 km. But the roads are overcrowded, in some places there were repairs and construction of new roads, everyone drives slowly, traffic jams are created. Transfer from the airport was ordered at the hotel, they sent a neat sedan, the price of delivery to the hotel was 2000 rubles. By the way, they ordered a taxi back in the city, according to the announcement, the cost to Simferopol was 1300 rubles.
We arrived at the hotel at about 12 noon, quickly processed the documents and were given a room, although the official check-in time is only at 2 pm. During the registration of the room, we were "ringed" with bracelets with the name of the hotel.
They asked the guy (either a bellboy or a receptionist) to bring a suitcase with a bag, in the room he gave him 100 rubles, he politely thanked.
In the room they washed from the road, changed clothes, and then it was time for dinner. A little about the room in which we lived. Two-room junior suite, we had no balcony, but there are also balconies. It was not possible to order with a balcony in advance when booking, by phone from the reservation service they said that a specific room was not booked in February-March, only the category of the room. Well, okay, we didn’t really need a balcony. The room consists of two small rooms, an entrance hall and a toilet room. In the hallway there is a folding clothes dryer, in the closet there is a coded mini-safe. In one room there is a double bed with bedside tables, in the second room there is a folding sofa (extra bed), minibar (fridge) hidden in the table, TV on the wall, air conditioning.
It should be noted that in our room in the room with a large bed there was no air conditioner and TV, they were in the second room, where there was a folding sofa on which our eldest son slept. Therefore, so that it would not be hot in the room with my wife and a small child, we had to turn on the air conditioner harder in the room of our eldest son, that is, freeze it a little. But he persevered through hardships. It makes no sense to describe the room in more detail, on the hotel website you can see photos of all room categories. I will focus on the nuances and impressions.
The hotel has a small but comfortable swimming pool with different depths. There are sun loungers around the pool, but literally a dozen, who are missing, can sit on special pedestal-cabins a little away from the pool. So there are no special problems with places, everyone goes to the sea.
Near the pool there is a snack bar where from 15:30 to 17:30 free light and dark beer, compote, a couple of varieties of any pastries, sometimes fruits are provided. This is for a snack between lunch and dinner.
A little about nutrition: breakfast from 08 to 10 am; lunch from 13:00 to 15:00; dinner from 18 to 20 hours. Everything is 2 hours long. Of course, such short terms are a bit unusual for those who often use the foreign All inclusive system. But all the guests have time to eat, and the fact that you have to adapt to a tough regime, you get used to in a couple of days.
There is a library above the restaurant on the second floor, which has a kids club, a small primitive play area for kids (children under 3 years old only with their parents), as well as needlework classes for those who are older. In the evening, animation is organized for children by the pool. For children there is a small playground with playgrounds and a sandbox.
Next to the playground there is a sports ground, it consists of a volleyball field and issued equipment (ball and badminton). The restaurant has a small billiard table, but it is in poor condition, stands unevenly, the cues are bad. In general, they put it purely for show.
Right next to the restaurant at lunchtime, a tourist point opens where you can choose and buy any excursion around the Crimea. You can recommend a survey to Yalta and be sure to visit Sevastopol.
Bicycles can be rented at the reception. The hotel has wi-fi, but the reception is not always sure. The best place is in the courtyard in a commercial bar and restaurant. The reception in our room was unreliable. The hotel has a parking space for vehicles of those who arrived on their own.
The whole territory of the hotel is clean, lots of greenery.
"Strangers" often insolently occupy hotel sunbeds, the staff makes a remark to them, but not everyone leaves. In addition, the staff also sells places on sunbeds: from early morning, they occupy sunbeds in the shade with their towels, and then rent these places for money. These beaches are also officially used by vacationers from the Family resort hotel. This 5-storey hotel also belongs to the Helios sanatorium. Therefore, there are problems with sunbeds, especially standing in the shade.
There is a retail outlet on the far beach: beer, nuts, fish, juices, kvass, ice cream, etc. There is also a corner with attractions for children nearby. For example, to catch a plastic fish floating in the water with a magnetic fishing rod costs 150 rubles, and if without a prize, then 100 rubles. like half an hour. But my son stood and caught for almost an hour, they did not stop him. There is also a small children's labyrinth with a slide, in 20 minutes. -100 rub. or a subscriber for 150 rubles. all day.
On the way to the far beach, you need to go along the street.
Franco, on the way there will be a good shop where you can buy beer, soft drinks, and something for tea, the assortment there is large and the prices are good compared to other shops. As you leave the hotel gate, turn left and walk along the fence along the street. Kievskaya 200 meters to the intersection with the street. Ivan Franko, then turn right towards the sea. Here on the right at the crossroads and there will be this shop. And the section of I. Franko Street itself to the next intersection is pedestrian, there are tents with various beach goods and souvenirs on it. You will pass these 400 meters to the sea unnoticed and the Independence Embankment will go to the left, you will walk 300 meters along it and you will see the entrance to the second beach. The Independence Embankment itself is also pedestrian, on it in two places the rental of children's electric cars is organized, the price is 100-150 rubles. in 5 min.
By the way, opposite the exit from the Romanov hotel there is an abandoned park named after Ivan Franko, we went to the beach through it, slightly reducing the distance obliquely, slowly walking along the shady paths.
And if at the exit from the hotel turn right and go along the street. Kievskaya 600-700 meters, go to the shore of the salt lake Moinaki. They say that there is salty therapeutic mud there, people even smear themselves with this mud. Those who wish can try the healing properties.
In my free time, I recommend taking a walk in the city center to an amusement park and a water park. And also visit the dinosaur park, very interesting.
If you want to buy fresh fruits, they are sold at some crossroads, and they are also brought to the beach. By the way, on the beach they also offered boiled corn, churchkhela, nuts, berries, “homemade” wine. If you want more fruits, then you can go to the market, where there is more choice and lower prices.
To do this, you need to take a bus right outside the gates of the hotel and go to the city center, go about 10 stops to the stop "Universam", ask the locals on the bus, they will tell you where to get off.
If you need cash, then the nearest ATM is in the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Burevestnik", this is after leaving the hotel gate, turn right, go to the crossroads and again right along the street. Pavlik Morozov, and there 100 meters away and on the left is that sanatorium, an ATM on the street in the yard.
We liked the city of Evpatoria itself. On the one hand, there are many abandoned territories, buildings, the construction of some buildings was frozen 10 years ago, many buildings of sanatoriums, roads and sidewalks require good repair. But, on the other hand, everything is clean, people are friendly, business is slowly developing.
But the Russian laws have not quite reached the Crimea: the minimum wage is not observed by employers, there are a lot of “gray” salaries, they “agree” with supervisory and regulatory authorities in the old fashioned way. It's like going back 15 years in the past. They even have a monument to Lenin in an abandoned park.
In general, in the Crimea, they are also slowly learning to offer All inclusive. The hotel is a solid 3 * and even with claims to 4 *, but it's too early. For the Crimea is very good. Thanks to the hotel staff, I liked everything, the children are happy, you can relax.
