Rested in Katran for the 2nd year in a row.
In general, everything is not very bad. My impressions are positive only because I rested there in the low season.
Last year in September (when all the kids are at school), in 2011 at the beginning of June (it’s a pity that we didn’t go with the child even earlier, for example, from mid-May).
I did not rest in the hotel "Katran", namely in boathouses. What is the difference? - in the price!! ! 200-300 UAH ($25-35) cheaper than in a hotel.
Rested in boathouse number 6. A very good owner (Oleg Nikolaevich) - he organized a transfer from the station for us - free of charge. He also has billiards in the boathouse (American, Russian) - for his guests - for free. Any questions that arose about the holiday were resolved immediately.

About the room: We rested on the ground floor: 2 separate comfortable rooms with 2 double beds, TVs, bedside tables, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and other furniture. There are air conditioners (we did not use). Separate kitchen - with all utensils, electric kettle, microwave, refrigerator. 2 bathrooms for each room. terrace with a table and chairs - where you can sit, eat, admire the sea.
Sunbeds available!!!
About the beach: stones, pebbles, then into the sea after 2 m. sand.
For children, there is a part with sand on the beach - where you can dig, etc.
About the sea: the water is clean. In early June, by 11 o'clock in the afternoon - it was 24 degrees!! ! And at lunchtime, in general, the sea is lovely - to swim just right - I didn’t want to get out.
About entertainment: For young people - it's boring there. This is a holiday for families with children, and those who want to take a break from the noise.
As I already said, there is billiards, crocat of water bikes, people rode on a banana, a catamaran, water skiing... a boat... that's what I saw...
About the store: there is a store on the territory - there is everything... products, vegetables, fruits... they also sell firewood for barbecue...
About the cafe: a couple of times they were too lazy to cook and ordered food from the hotel - tolerably but for 4!!!
Taxi to Feodosia or Koktebel - 60 UAH (7.5$)
To Ordzhonikidze 20 UAH. ($2.5)
CONCLUSIONS: In the high season - it's not very good there (there are a lot of people - well, it's like everywhere else), noisy... In velvet and the beginning of the season - excellent - and prices are 2 times lower. The sea is not so warm yet - no sores - but you can already swim. It's the same with kids.
I tried my best to describe. . .
Have a good rest and pleasant impressions. Do not be deceived, and rest positively.
