Настоящий сказочный отдых A real fairy tale vacation

For a family holiday this year, the hotel was not chosen by chance, for many years my family and I rested in the Polyana Skazok hotel, but then, probably, unfortunately, like most of our fellow citizens, for five years we learned the delights of vacations abroad . Turkey, Egypt, etc. Everything is good there, and the service is at the level, and there are plenty of places to travel - but everything is not right, everything is not right. And the mountains are different, and the sea is not so native, and almost all nature is “artificial”, everything by and large is made by the “hands” of man. And Crimea is Crimea! Everything is real, and everything is created by "Mother Nature" herself! Just live and enjoy all these Wealths!!!
A little knocked off the edge by all these "foreign countries", and again pulled in the native Crimea to the "pain". Being in May in the Crimea, we slipped along the South Coast, to many hotels (I don’t take into account the steppe Crimea at all, not normal nature, not the good sea), and the choice definitely fell on the hotel in Yalta - “Glade of Skazok”. Truly a fabulous and magical place! Although, to be honest, for "all" this time when we did not come to Polyana, the reviews from our friends and acquaintances about the hotel were not very good, to say the least...
At the porter, to our great surprise, we were met by a friendly and good-natured Alexandra (she was still working during our constant visit to Polyana).

I recognized my “old” clients, and the meeting was just like with close and old relatives. From the bottom of my heart, it’s just nice that you are remembered, although not a year or two has passed. All these little things are pleasant, and they touch to the core. Everything is like in the theater - It starts with a hanger!!!
The first thing I would like to note is the pleasant well-groomedness of the territory, everything was cleaned and put in order, painted and greased. This is all visible to the "naked" eye, even when compared with the May period.
A clean and well maintained pool with mountain water is a huge plus. We went several times to the sea, and each time there was a disappointment. Either it was stormy, then the sea was just very dirty, then there were people on the beach that it was simply not crowded... You come to the "Polyana", and complete peace. No fuss, no fuss, mountain air, and even an incredibly clean pool. Well, what else to dream of rest???
The kitchen has grown significantly this year, although the service of some waitresses is simply horrifying, it is not clear on what basis they are selected. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Lucia to the restaurant administrator, she often served us (also from the "old" team).
It is no less important that the "Maestro" musician returned to the hotel again. This is a piece of the “Soul” of the Glade of Fairy Tales. Pleasant music sounds every evening, and unexpectedly for you they announce - “and now for our“ old ”good guests”... It’s just good and pleasant at home. You understand that for every person working here, you are not just another "client", but just one big family. And for that, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone!!!
Hiking in the mountains, baths of "youth", mountain rivers - all this is not forgotten!!!
Arriving at least once at Polyana, you fall in love with this place with all your heart. And you are drawn to this place again and again!
Our vacation was 100% successful and the children were satisfied, and when we returned home, all ears were already buzzing when we went to Polyana. And next year, the question of choosing a place to rest will no longer be. Definitely - "Glade of Fairy Tales"!!!
Although there are still quite a few minuses in the service, and, in general...

But I am sure that the team and management will successfully cope with all this for the upcoming season.
Thanks a lot, everyone!! !
