Несколько ложек дегтя в морской воде A few fly in the ointment in sea water

Lord! Here is the whole truth about the Apelsin Hotel in Nikolayevka. The beautiful installations posted on this hotel's website need a major overhaul. Firstly, the hotel is located in one of the cottages of the so-called Skif Recreation Center, which consists of many houses and houses of completely different architecture, though much simpler. At the same time, 50% of these real estate objects are under construction, so if you don’t if you are lucky in terms of a room overlooking the pool, then it will be replaced by a view of the construction waste of an architectural "masterpiece" being built nearby. Secondly, the sea... Hmm, actually, gentlemen, you have to go to the sea. So 300 meters on concrete slabs Yes, under the scorching sun, because the vegetation of this "cooperative" just got out of the seeds yesterday. Do not believe it when they tell you about the presence of a beach, at least your own, at least the city! There is no beach there, in principle, because you can’t call a narrow coastal beach a strip no more than 5-7 meters wide, which, moreover, is almost completely flooded with water even with slight sea disturbance. This so-called "pebble beach" is a mound of such small "pebbles", almost stone sand, that you have to shake it out of all accessible and inaccessible places of the human body. To say that the beach is dirty is to say nothing. It seems that this is a branch of a local landfill - all human waste is present. And in order to place your mortal body and, at the same time, the bodies of your household on such a beach, you will have to get up early in order to “fill in” the place, otherwise the lovers of sleeping a little longer for sunbathing will only be left with spat on the steps of the stairs. And actually about the sea. . . Maybe, of course, it's just that we were so unlucky, but for 10 days of staying in this wonderful place the sea did not storm and, accordingly, it was suitable for swimming only 2 days. All the rest of the time, its color approached the color of the steppe around, and nothing else floated in it. . . My 2.5-year-old son philosophically remarked: “Mom, look in the sea, the city is swimming... ”, to my timid objections that it might be algae, the child categorically cut it off: “No, this is a natural city. . . ! " But let's get back to the Orange Hotel. In principle, everything is quite nice and corresponds to the drawn pictures, if not for the series of "BUT". At first, this does not catch the eye of vacationers exhausted by year-round work, but then it becomes a very annoying factor. Let me explain. The hotel belongs to a person of Caucasian nationality and get ready that there will be people around you of this very nationality who act as spies. Swimming in the pool, chasing a ball with a child around the yard and drinking all sorts of drinks, you will be exclusively under their gaze and, in my opinion, very unfriendly gaze. already said, at first it is not striking, but then it begins to soar. It seems that you are walking in the prison yard under the watchful eye of the warden, step to the right, step to the left - the rest is known. decent, but not cheap) with "live music". The role of this "music" is entrusted to the overripe nightingale of the local spill, who will regale you with the repertoire of radio "Chanson" day after day. By the end of the holiday, my eldest daughter, an advanced girl, I must say in musical brands, sang something like this: "Only a beloved can have such extraordinary eyes. " But God be with him, with the nightingale! The problem is not even in the repertoire, but in the fact that all this is voiced very loudly until 11-12 am, and your child will simply be doomed to fall asleep to such strange lullabies and no tightly closed windows will save you from the imposed tavern culture. I understand that all this looks like the grumbling of a bored lady, although I am not one. Actually, I would not advertise my observations, this is, as they say, an amateur, but there is one circumstance that prompted me to do this. THE HOTEL IS STEALING! In our case, it looked like the gradual disappearance of a certain amount of local hryvnia from the safe. Rubles, currency and other valuable property remained inviolable. The first bewilderment about the evaporation of a significant amount of money in a short time, my husband and I poured it on each other - they say, who spent more and on what. If the thief stopped there, I would not write these lines at all. But after the amount of money recalculated the day before and put into this very safe (again in hryvnias! ), Decreased by a third by an unknown way, it became simply indecent to accuse each other of thoughtless spending. During the analysis of the "flights" it turned out that the safe has a key in case of memory failure of the vacationer in relation to the code, and these keys are freely available to any of the attendants. I congratulate the maid, who enriched herself by about 700 hryvnias at our expense, I just want to remind you that all evil comes back to us like a boomerang. My husband expresses sincere condolences to the owner of this establishment in view of the fact that the amount settled in the pocket of his servant could be spent by us in his own restaurant and make a modest contribution to the level of his income. That, in fact, is all. Draw your own conclusions, as they say. I will not write anything about the village of Nikolaevka itself. Just keep in mind when you decide to go here that this is really just a village and do not demand more from it. Ask me why we didn’t go to Turkey, Montenegro, etc. , since they are so picky. I will answer simply - due to their laziness, they flew with passports, I had to choose from what was left. Have a good rest without misfortunes!
