We arrived late in the evening, from the airport in Simferopol to the hotel about an hour's journey, received well, placed, the room turned out to be on the side that was not entirely “favorable” for relaxation. First, about the good, the staff is friendly, the “appearance” of the rooms almost corresponds to reality (the equipment is in good condition, hot water is available around the clock), the pool is there and looks good, the beach is private and comfortable enough for these places, the food in the dining room is regular (what can not be said about the quality food), to the bus station which adjoins the market 10-15 minutes walk in a straight line.
Now, what I didn’t like, our room turned out to be on the side where the children’s camp is right next to it, in the morning (at 8 o’clock) the anthem of the rise, which wakes everyone and everything, all day the noise from the movement of children under the window, chants (we learned by heart  ) and the like, periodically all this is brightened up by loud music. A little on the other side, but also nearby (50 meters away), one by one, the three largest disco halls in the area are located, these are the biggest problems from them, although if you are used to relaxing with tightly closed windows, this will not cause you big problems, in general, in the evenings (until 22:30) we could not normally watch TV (at full volume), and on weekends (Fri. Sat. Sun. ), you can forget about sleep, with an open window, walk until the morning. To the question “how is it possible to relax like that? ” the hotel administrator replied - “what did you think, this is the first zone, I can’t help you with anything” and then I think we were on the black list, the smiles that had never left the faces of the staff disappeared. The water in the pool is cold (probably heated only in winter) and in general the weather is changeable, we stopped by on June 26, today is July 4, it was not hot yet, there was always a cold wind from the sea and a weak sun. A separate word about food, which is “provided” by a nearby dining room, it is difficult to call it a buffet. it’s impossible, the entire “range” of dishes and drinks can be counted on the fingers of both hands, salads are tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, cabbage, buckwheat, pasta, boiled potatoes for the second, sometimes harsh meat and cabbage rolls or dumplings from semi-finished products (I don’t advise at all) and that’s all this floor is warm, in general, food for show, a bite to eat, but normally (I’m not talking about good) you won’t be able to eat. There are no more similar canteens in the vicinity, but there are many cafes of all kinds. They clean the room every day, but the bed linen and towels are changed every 5 days, which is a bit too much for me. In general, maybe someone will like it, but I think it’s worth looking for an alternative, especially for that kind of money, by the way, for two we gave 55t. r. in 15 days.
