Breakfast and dinner at the hotel are good, the choice is less than, for example, in Mriya or Yalta Intourist, but you can eat. Champagne is not served for breakfast, positioning that the hotel has a medical license, but you can buy it in a restaurant, absurd.
The bath complex is good. Sea water swimming pools, two of which are heated all year round. We were without children, but we saw playgrounds and a children's pool.
Now for what I didn't like.
Very unfriendly staff at the reception. This is the face of the hotel, but upon arrival, it seemed that we were not welcome and that we had come to bow to them. They do not explain anything, we were told more by the worker who escorted us to the room. The suitcases were also not offered to be taken to the room until I asked for it. When we checked out, we didn't hear any kind words either.
The territory of the hotel is very small, nowhere to walk.
And another very strange thing. I had a birthday when we were staying at the hotel, but there was no congratulations from the hotel at all. No cake or champagne, just nothing, they didn’t even put a postcard. We were in a huge number of hotels of equal level and everywhere we were congratulated, but not here. Unacceptable attitude towards guests.
come sometime.
So. The hotel is located 15 minutes by car from Yalta, stands in a very quiet place. Next to
territory there is some high-rise building and the old building of some boarding house.
The area is not that small, but not very big. When we rested, a huge number of roses bloomed in the park, a well-groomed square and surrounding alleys and paths, many cozy corners with benches and swings. The building itself looks beautiful, thanks to the light forged bars on the balconies.
Even in May there was animation for children and adults, swimming pools worked.
Separately, I want to note the cuisine, because we have not eaten SO tasty anywhere else. The chefs are just top notch.
Desserts, meat dishes, everything is on top, even if you are on a diet - you can still find a lot of steam dishes,
vegetables, fruits. Light wine completes the pleasant picture.
The room (we had a suite, so I can only speak for it) is well thought out, there are many pleasant little things that make up the level of the facility: mineral water, tea and coffee, etc. Even slippers and a wastebasket were with the logo of the hotel. I really liked the cosmetics, although I never use the usual hotel one, here I could not resist, cosmetics made in France. The view is better to take on the park. Silence or birdsong from cypress trees
when I wake up in the morning - I have never had this before)
But still there was a minus and quite sensitive for me. On the first line of the sea, a complex of apartments for sale was built, i. e. you can’t just go down to the sea, but only through the entrance of this building. It turns out that sitting on the sea,
you see not the mountains and the park, but the floors hanging over the sea. But this is the specificity of the Crimea, to make money on every piece of land...
Yes, and there is construction going on nearby on the beach, obviously it will not end in the summer.
The beach itself is good, wide, with a shady canopy, with sunbeds and mattresses, as well as beach towels.
The staff is attentive and discreet.
I can’t say anything about the SPA, because. I didn’t use it, it’s too hot in May to sit in the bath.
We rested with a child, and even found something to do with him, a playground, a children's room, an animator, a children's pool,
The restaurant has a children's menu for an additional fee.
Feelings from the rest were only positive, calm, beautiful place, beautiful architecture, well-groomed
small park and unobtrusive service.
The territory of the hotel is clean and well-groomed. Beautiful park. For children there is a playground, kids club, animation. SPA center at a good level. You can get to the beach using an elevator.
HOTEL. From the railway station in Simferopol to the hotel 95 km (1.5 - 2 hours). "Palmira Palace" is located 8 km from the center of Yalta in the village of Kurpaty and you can walk to the Swallow's Nest.
The entire hotel was decorated for the New Year holidays with garlands, balls and decorated Christmas trees on every floor. In the lobby of the hotel opposite the reception there was a huge elegant Christmas tree on one side and gingerbread houses with Christmas engines that drove around them and brought a lot of joy to children on the other side of the entrance.
ROOM. Since we traveled with a child, we were given the keys to the Standard B "comfort" room and we paid extra for the child's accommodation, because our "prize" included accommodation for only 2 people with full board, and our child already turned 5 years old. But these are trifles!
The room is beautiful, with high ceilings, a large bed, an extra sofa bed for a child and a large TV. Spacious bathroom. bath amenities and hairdryer. Mini-bar (paid), Wi Fi (free).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. Cleaning and replacement of towels was carried out constantly, and in addition to tea, the maids left a "compliment" in the form of delicious handmade sweets. Nicely))
The staff is friendly and will answer any questions.
NUTRITION. Buffet. Breakfast: cereals, salads, vegetables, fruits and eggs, yoghurts and fresh pastries. Lunch: 2-3 first courses to choose from, side dishes, salads, meat, fish, cakes, fruits. Dinner: side dishes, salads, meat, fish, broth, cakes, fruits. Tea, coffee, juices, compote, jelly, milk. Wine (white, red) for lunch and dinner.
The restaurant has two large aquariums with various fish, a turtle and a stingray. We observed several times during dinner how these fish are fed. The stingray eats shrimp from the hand))
FOR KIDS.
For children, there is a small playground on site. There is also a children's club "Limpopo" with animators. It will not be boring!
BEACH. Not big, pebbles. Of course, we did not swim, but we went out to see and listen to the sea))
POOL AND BATH. Two swimming pools (adult and children). In children's water 30-32 degrees. Baths: Russian, Finnish, hammam + ice pool. Jacuzzi: 2 baths 40 degrees + contrast 10 degrees. And a set of SPA procedures for a fee.
RESTAURANT. After dinner, the "Macrame" restaurant opens, where you can order different dishes, or just have a drink and listen to the invited performers. During our stay there were performances by "Gentleman Show" participants Yasha Gopp and Irina Tokarchuk, "Mask Show" participant Vladimir Komarov, singer In-Grid and other bands...
Every day we visited some sight: Livadia Palace, Vorontsov Palace, Zoo, Swallow's Nest...
This is all in the first half of the day, and in the second - the pool, kids club, walks .. .
