We fell into this "captivity" with a group of children's athletes, their parents and coaches. There were 55 of us in total. As it turned out, in half of the rooms there are no air conditioners, wires stick out of the walls, and where there are air conditioners, not everyone has remotes. When settling in the room, dust, dirt, sticky floor, garbage in the form of felt-tip pens, hairpins and other things, apparently from previous vacationers, on the balcony is the corpse of a bird.

When settling in the room, dust, dirt, sticky floor, garbage in the form of felt-tip pens, hairpins and other things, apparently from previous vacationers, on the balcony is the corpse of a bird. . . At our request, the body was removed. . . but the blood was left, for dirt, sticky floors and debris, they said that they had only washed it yesterday.... and today they won’t wash, in general, cleaning was beaten out for another week. Our room was a quadruple: 2 single beds and a sofa on which it is not possible to sleep! They took off the mattress and slept on the floor. From the bedding there are only leaky sheets and pillowcases, there are no underclothes, the blankets are dirty. There was mold in the shower, hot water from the water heater, but it was not in all the rooms, and where it was constantly adjusted during pressure surges, only cold water was supplied to the washbasin. No toilet paper or towels. The food was imported in tanks, disgusting, mashed powder, porridge with dried milk, half with chopped sausages, dirty tomatoes.... from cutlery only aluminum spoons.... But the most disgusting thing was the attitude of the hostess, her daughter and supposedly a maid. They hate guests from day one! They constantly scandalized, do not turn on the air conditioners, do not go out on the balcony, do not stand on the aisle, eat faster, spin the children, close the windows.... They themselves drank alcohol every evening in the courtyard, sometimes more guests came to them, yelled under the windows until 2 am. . . the day before our departure, the curtains were removed in the room on the fourth floor and at the same time they crushed the touch-screen phone that was lying on the bed, they climbed on the bed linen with their feet! . . Of course, the breakdown of the phone was not recognized. . . the damage was not reimbursed.... The cost of the phone was added to the cost of the rest. . . Terrible experience, I would not wish anyone to stay there!

They brought friends, at first they doubted, but then they were very pleased. The cleanest air, intoxicating sea breeze, a fairy tale for those who appreciate silence and virgin nature. Service - everything is pleasant at home: cleanliness, comfort and complete peace of mind! The kitchen is simply beyond words, everything is very tasty and aesthetically pleasing, the chef is 5+.

While the memories are still fresh, I decided to write a review about the rest at the Magic Captivity Hotel in Katsiveli. I must make a reservation right away that everything stated below is my own opinion, and as they say - how many people, so many opinions. And in order to make up your own, you need to go yourself and evaluate everything, feel the situation, so to speak, on your own skin.

While the memories are still fresh, I decided to write a review about the rest at the Magic Captivity Hotel in Katsiveli. I must make a reservation right away that everything stated below is my own opinion, and as they say - how many people, so many opinions. And in order to make up your own, you need to go yourself and evaluate everything, feel the situation, so to speak, on your own skin. My husband and I already have something to compare with, since this is far from the first time in Crimea. My impression is that the hotel is average, the room (we lived in a double room) is small, it could be cleaner, all surfaces were slightly dusty during check-in, subsequently the dust was not wiped off by the staff. As for the situation - there are photos of the rooms on the Internet, if you wish, you can view them. For me, the color scheme of the interior was strange: the walls are green, the curtains are pink, the chairs are blue and white, and it’s somehow uncomfortable, the photos don’t convey this... But it’s not at all difficult to hang a picture on the wall, pick up nice sconces so that the light is soft and muted, to think over the color scheme of the room... It would be a desire. The refrigerator is small, but it was enough for us, there is a TV, but it’s not there, because (as the hostess told us) after some hurricane something broke somewhere and still hasn’t been fixed, well, you’re not a telly on the sea you're going to watch, right? Although in neighboring hotels you could hear that the TVs were working... The bathroom more or less found soap and shampoo in wrappers with the hotel logo, there is a boiler, so there is always hot water, but only in the shower, only cold water in the tap at the washbasin, although connecting a hot one there is not a problem at all... It would be the desire of the hotel owners. The shower is small, the curtain is dirty and sticky, you can’t really curtain it, the water was all the time on the floor, no matter how carefully you try to wash yourself. Yes, after checking in, we found that the towels in the room were only for hands, and the towels were some kind of grayish, the stripes tried to hide this dullness) I had to go and ask for bath towels. The bed linen turned out to be also gray (maybe this is such a color scheme? ) With blue and a hole... The bed was not changed for 2 weeks.
The view from the balcony is so-so, right - a couple of new modern hotels, on the side - the roofs of the hotels in front and the sea behind them. You can’t see the Cat Mountains, we had the 4th floor and the windows overlooked her side. To summarize, in principle, you can live, especially since we were few in the room, we came to the sea))
We ate outside the hotel, although when we were driving, we expected to eat at the hotel. But they didn’t want to, because the first and last time we ate there, we got a bunch of negative emotions. Firstly, a creepy place to eat - like a covered tent with the stink of cat marks and sticky tables, like in pubs, brrr. Secondly, the portion sizes, the food is lost on a large plate. . . Thirdly, the menu is quite large, which suggests that food is prepared from semi-finished products or, if necessary, simply warmed up. Fourth, out of the corner of my eye I saw what was going on in the kitchen, what kind of rags were there and in general “cleanliness”. And fifthly, the prices for all this beauty. A complete discrepancy... During the entire stay, the hostess never asked at the meeting how things were going, whether everything was fine. But because there is no desire to make people feel comfortable and pleasant, unfortunately... And this hits the eye and can be seen in many ways. We will definitely not come to the hotel again, but we will most likely return to Katsiveli, a wonderful place, a lot of greenery, "delicious" clean air, good beaches near the health resort of the House of Scientists' Creativity, clean water. Now, if people still appreciated all this and didn’t pollute... In general, “Magic Captivity” - no, Katsiveli - yes !! !

My husband and I are true Spartans and we love to bring all sorts of innovations to our vacation, to discover new places. I came across reviews here and decided to share my impressions. there is nothing to do, continue to choke on saliva at home, and look at "your" curtains with towels and high chairs in addition.

I came across reviews here and decided to share my impressions. there is nothing to do, continue to choke on saliva at home, and look at "your" curtains with towels and high chairs in addition. And Katsiveli is our Magical Paradise! Those who appreciate people who hospitably welcome us like family, from year to year. that they have already become a part of our family, with their smiles and sense of humor. (In the first year of our appearance here, to my great surprise, all the staff congratulated me on my birthday! ) So much for your inattention! As in any place, of course, there are some flaws (which can be easily fixed, just ask), but you decide right away for yourself that you should be worried about the presence of peaceful British (cats) on vacation, or the presence of a pillowcase under your nose. !! ! Every year we hurry to come and not miss the velvet season and rejoice that we are so lucky to find somehow already our "Magic Captivity" !!!
P. S. And more people! Before complaining about dirty beaches, don't shit yourself where you enjoy this sea and all this beauty!! !

We were very satisfied with our vacation. The boarding house was booked through the tour operator "Tanita". It turned out to be very clean, the rooms are exactly as in the picture on the site, refrigerator, air conditioning, new furniture, renovation. Rooms and territory are cleaned daily, hot water around the clock.

Rooms and territory are cleaned daily, hot water around the clock. The administrator and the director live in the boarding house, who monitor everything, and in case of any questions, they solve everything very quickly. WI-FI on the 5th floor was rather weak, but quite enough. I really liked the village - a quiet, intelligent place, the resting public is the same. About 10 beaches, all free and clean. From Katsiveli to Ponizovka, you can have a wonderful walk along the embankment, through Mount Koshka you can go to Simeiz. We didn’t really like the Kurin restaurant, they overcook there, it’s much better than Retro, which is at the bus stop.

I do not argue, any vacation is a matter of taste. We (a company of 5 people) had the "happiness" to stay in this hotel for 2 hours. I will be brief and try to draw an objective picture of what we saw. 1) the rooms are small, the smell of dampness. The furniture is not the first freshness and the cleaning is mediocre to say the least.

I will be brief and try to draw an objective picture of what we saw. 1) the rooms are small, the smell of dampness. The furniture is not the first freshness and the cleaning is mediocre to say the least. 2) the kitchen is on the street - the sovdep is still the same. 3) Arriving, we threw our things and went to the beach. We were told 4-5 minutes. In fact (in the heat) descent along steep paths consisting of grass and small pebbles (not only descending, but also approaching). Then you climb through a hole in the fence (it feels like you are doing something wrong) Beach compartments where you can play 2-3. You can imagine what is being done on them. The beaches are not equipped at all. There are no toilets. Dirt. The entry into the sea is disgusting. We walked longer than we went up. When they said that it didn’t suit us, they wanted 200 UAH from us. per room (this is for 1.5 hours of stay, the bed is not touched). To let us go, we had to pay 100 UAH. Well, that's it, think and decide. We don't urge anyone to do anything.

Hello, my name is Alexander. For the last 4 seasons, I have been working in the Crimea, resting only in Katsiveli, the area is called Sun Valley - “Magic Captivity”.

Hello, my name is Alexander. For the last 4 seasons, I have been working in the Crimea, resting only in Katsiveli, the area is called Sun Valley - “Magic Captivity”. The hotel is located in the picturesque valley of the Blue Bay. The hotel offers a beautiful view of the Crimean mountains (Mount Koshka, Ai-Petri ridge). There are many beaches, separated by long breakwaters. Free. Head Natalya Alexandrovna is an amazing woman, beautiful, modest, elegant, a professional in her field,
thinks about you constantly, always on top, to "five" to perform any action -
it's a miracle, magic!
Small clouds, dryness and transparency of the air attracted astronomers and space explorers to Katsiveli. They settled in the village. The first water park in Crimea - the most popular object of the 2002 season - works for you in the Blue Bay. near Yalta. There are a lot of people there, no difference with Moscow. People are everywhere - on the streets, in the market, in shops, trolleybuses and minibuses are full. Katsiveli is a calm oasis among the crowds.
You can look for an apartment yourself, turn to the "distributors" - they are usually on duty at the minibus stop and in front of the sanatorium checkpoint, near the cafe, by the way, be prepared for the fact that even in an apartment building the toilet can be on the street - public (Vitkevich street 4) . Refrigerator, electric stove, solar heated shower.
The best time for a vacation, the month of September! Velvet season and
the bulk of holiday-goers go home.

We have been vacationing with a family of three for two years in a row (2009 and 2010). We look forward to traveling this year as well. We come from the Moscow region. Silence, beauty.

We find entertainment in other cities of the South Coast. This is a vacation for the family. I like the attentiveness and care of the hotel staff. Not enough kitchen space in the room. Meals can be ordered in the cafe of the same hotel. Parking for cars in the yard, in front of your eyes. Round-the-clock protection of the territory. The beach is pebbly, dense rugs or air mattresses, umbrellas and slippers for swimming are desirable. All this is in the beach rental. Prices for food in stores are the same as in ordinary cities. Rooms are recommended to be booked in advance. Sincerely, the Reznik family, Voskresensk.

Room cleaning was carried out daily (sometimes twice a day). child. The staff was very attentive and caring to us and to our requests. We were also pleasantly surprised by the food. Chef Svetlana Nikolaevna spoiled us with new sweets every day. Our child is 2.5 years old - it’s not easy to feed her, but here we had no problems . Pure air silence - all the necessary conditions for a good relaxing holiday are created here. And it's also nice that there is a playground with a sandbox with swings, there is something to do with the child. This year we will go only to the Magic Captivity from which we did not want to return. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday to all the staff of the hotel.
