Это вам не Рио де Жанейро This is not Rio de Janeiro

For people who are accustomed to and know the norms of hotel service, this boarding house will become a mystery.
European type rooms. A minimum of furniture and wall decoration. Comparing with Yalta-Itourist, it can be argued that they are on the same level. Compared to the Actor, Masandra brought in new furniture to win.
The cuisine is fresh and tasty, although not varied. Insufficient salads and meager snacks are forgivable with such a wide range of grilled menus, seafood and fish, soups and really good desserts (When you can try the Lemon Pie baked by the hostess herself).
Service is weather dependent. Reception and restaurant of the highest level. English, Russian, Ukrainian speaking. Politeness and customer care. Here you will be called a taxi, and food in the room, and walks with excursions will be recommended. Always with a smile and care.

The cleaners are the main problem. Besides. that without knocking, she can enter your room and find you naked doing infamous things with other vacationers, without a shadow of embarrassment, she will immediately ask - clean it up, or be patient until tomorrow, otherwise my working day ends at 14. Oh God, save you to give up in the rain - then all the children of this horde run, scream and jump up the stairs, despite the attempts of the receptionists to call them to the culture of silence.
Cleaning is poor. The norms of hotel service of the system of stars and Ukrainian standards change towels every day, but sheets less often - every 3-4. So, to the great disappointment here it is never changed. For 15 days, the towels were not changed, the linen was not changed, the dust was not wiped off, they were vacuumed every other day. Garbage is thrown out every day. The conversation of the cleaners - "There the guys moved out from St. Fri. They were there for one night. Change the towels for new ones? " - Answer: "No. Flatten the pastel and write down what you changed. " So how lucky you are - you can sleep on sheets that were already used by someone for a one-night stand.
Clean linen is served ON THE FLOOR, where it lies in the corridor and only then spreads onto your bed. The right thing to note is that it lies in polyethylene bags that are not tightly closed.
The beach is sparse and not the same as in the picture. The one they show you is Yalta-Intourist. The beach is leased by the Adruhovich BCP. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid - 20 gr, working hours from 9 am to 18:40. So if you love to swim, then there is a beach nearby that is open for early and late swimming. The beach is clean and with a developed Soviet infrastructure - chess, showers, a nurse, a lifeguard, a buffet, diving equipment. The beach is 10-15 minutes walk, as the hotel is on a hill. Confuses the "wild beach" with cobblestones from the side of Yalta-Intourist and the ongoing construction along the coast of the beach "Actor".
The location is a little more fertile than that of the Actor, since Masandra is located right in Masandrovsky Park - a monument of garden and park architecture, closer to Yalta than Yalta-Intourist and Honeymoon. If you like walking, then this is your strong point, here it is easier to get to Yalta, and you can walk and breathe in the park.

The silence is perfect. Compared to Honeymoon, there is no loud music in Masandra. The restaurant mutes the external speakers to the low after 21. And there is no KARAOKE - Actor that rakes down the back if you suddenly run past his gate.
And so, score - 4+, (Relative comparison: Yalata Intourist - 4+, Actor - 3, Honeymoon - 4, Livadia - 3, Russia - 4)
Turkey is also different. But linen is changed here as well as towels regularly.
