Жаль, хороший был пансионат! It's a pity, it was a good boarding house!

We are regular customers of the Niko boarding house and spent several years in a row our holidays in August in this place. First, a few words about the good. The administration does not require advance payment and you can always cancel the reservation. At the station you will be met at the carriage and taken to the gate of the boarding house for free. Meals 3 times a day, included in the room rate. The beach is close, the area is large, green. There are sports grounds. An animator works, you can order excursions. This year, a new administrative building was built, in which there is a left-luggage office, a spa and a gym are expected in the future. Outdoor fitness equipment was installed by the pool, new good flooring was laid to the beach. There are more sun loungers on the beach, there is enough for everyone, even for strangers (although they should not be in theory). But this year has not been without bad news. Firstly, in a family boarding house where fathers / mothers / their children come, they brought in a large number of groups of teenagers with educators and organized a sports camp with all the benefits of vacationers. And now imagine this uncontrollable horde in the pool, where vacationers swim and these "beauties" are launched by forty people at a time !! ! Everyone else can just stand like a pillar in the water, because you won’t be able to swim. As soon as the hydromassage is turned on, the crazy screaming crowd is already there. There is simply no place for moms / dads / grandmothers. In the evening at the disco the same story. Who came up with the idea to turn the beautiful boarding house Niko into a children's camp is simply not clear. For these purposes, there are organized sports recreation bases. Now about the dining room: this year, the portions of the first one were very noticeably cut, literally a ladleful per person, in past years one could even count on an addition. One solid chicken in all its manifestations (boiled, stewed, baked, chicken liver, etc. ) Beef and pork are very rare. The staff (waiters) are little trained, that's how lucky you are. There were sensible nimble girls, but our "sluggish infirmity" could never remember and do anything, she was constantly stupid. It is clear that the staff is seasonally hired and cheap, but everything has its own facets. The boarding house has always boasted of its silence, the fact that it is located at a distance from other holiday homes. Forget it, it's already in the past. Nearby (fence to fence) they built a "wonderful" recreation center "Barguzin", where a super-animator worked. This guy yelled into the microphone day and night and night. It was heard like in Turkey on the other side of the sea. Well done, conscientiously worked out his salary. The only salvation is the good soundproofing in Niko's rooms and thanks for that. But I would like not to sit in the rooms, but to breathe the sea air. The fact that the sea bloomed constantly is certainly not a complaint against the administration of the boarding house. Such is the peculiarity of the coast of Anapa - dense green algae, you swim "like in soup". If in past years there was a sandy spit a couple of tens of meters away, to which a child could swim and it was clean. Then this year the spit went into the sea and had to be content with this greenery. Whether we will visit this place again is doubtful. What a pity, it was a good boarding house!
