Надо быть оптимистом Gotta be an optimist

We rested in "Hotei" with friends in October 2011 in a standard room. The room, although small, but pleasant. The husband was embarrassed by the decorative plaster on the walls, it looks rather rude. Our room did not have a wardrobe, instead of it there were wooden shelves, it was not very convenient to place outerwear and dresses on them. However, this is the best option, because. friends in the room had a closet, but so scanty that they kept half of the things in bags. We all liked the balcony with comfortable upholstered furniture. Our rooms were on the 2nd floor, so the view of the sea was a little spoiled by the trees of Pushkin's park. Indeed, the linen was changed every 3 days, towels were changed every day, they were also cleaned every day, not bad enough.
But the bathroom spoiled the overall impression. There was a terrible fungus-mold in the shower cabin, the door did not close well - all the water was on the floor, there was no ventilation, so the door to the bathroom had to be kept open, and this, you see, is not very convenient.
The pool had not yet been drained in October, it was possible to swim, but there was already a little silt and dirt at the bottom, it seemed that the cleaning system was not working. And 3 days before leaving, a large frog settled and swam in it.

The restaurant is good and the prices are right. There was no buffet, just the waitresses offered us several dishes to choose from: mainly milk porridge or sausage with a side dish + baked or fruit cuts. Often they didn’t have coffee and we had to buy a cup of about 30g for money. By the end of the holiday, everyone was already sick of sausages and rice. There was no sushi, the sushi bar was closed. The restaurant is open until 23.00, which of course we didn’t like, on vacation with friends you always want to sit longer.
The waitresses are well-trained, well done girls, very polite, friendly.
Internet catches only near the pool, there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, so when there was a football match of the Russian team, I don’t remember with whom, our husbands ran around the pool, trying to catch the net, because. This match was not broadcast on TV.
Were in the sauna. I was left with a double impression: it seems to be not bad, but it’s very big, not cozy, there are no brooms, the font was not filled, but I didn’t want to run out of the sauna, then climb the stairs, open the door, run to the large pool and jump into it, something didn’t want to.
But be that as it may, the impression was positive, because the beauty of the Crimea and Gurzuf brightened up all the roughness of the hotel. Almost all 10 days we went on excursions, we came to the rooms late. We ate mainly in the cafe "At Lydia" - very tasty and everything is fresh, prices are reasonable. T. Lida - special greetings to you from Krasnodar! A very good restaurant "Meraba" is Tatar cuisine, but, in my opinion, it is the most expensive in Gurzuf. But yantyk-grilled chebureks are prepared only there and SUPER COOKING, I recommend it to everyone.
In September we go again to "Hotei", but this time with a child and a "Family" room. I hope that over the year there have been changes in "Hotei" to improve the service. We'll see, and we will definitely write.
