To be honest, nostalgia for the Crimea, I decided to refresh my emotions about the place where I was, and now I chose it cheaper in terms of finances. I will clarify that only the price of housing stopped me.
Instead of new photos and someone’s adequate emotions, I just read nonsense, after which I rubbed my eyes and didn’t understand at all whether I was reading about that place... I’m nostalgic, so to speak....
Do not mislead people, for good, and there is nothing for Delfin to do here on Turpravda among hotels, since this is a town consisting of apartments. You can't judge a place by one apartment.

1. Only on how lucky and how much money depends on the quality of the apartment. There is what you want, any quality and almost any money. We had excellent housing, with full stuffing last year, 2 isolated rooms for 1300 rubles. for 4 people, the apartment is very large and close to the sea. In this they asked for 2500 rubles. so I didn’t go....I think I regret it or not....If, while on vacation, I still look in the direction of the Dolphin, I probably regret it.
2. There is no need to complain that the city is far away if you are already going here, if you didn’t have enough imagination to look at the map and decide for yourself whether it is 4 kilometers from the city or not - then claims to myself personally, I saw a map on every Dolphin website, otherwise people were surprised when they arrived, oh, but the city is far away, unexpectedly... a nightmare...
I needed the sea, clean and close, and it was just that. By car, Dolphin is generally beautiful and absolutely realistic 8 minutes to the central square. This is how I ride. . . Can't say fast. Taxi, minibus, on foot - in the range and without any problems, and without a car, I think that the city is close in this case.
3. Expensive in cafes and shops. Yes, it’s expensive, why the hell is it expensive everywhere now, and even at home in a cafe it’s expensive....
And what is noticed, the farther from the city, the more expensive. Somehow, it seems that we went to Olenevka to see friends, so the prices are twice as high as Alushta and complete “backwoods”... It is personally important for me that in Dolphin I can cook, barbecue, fry fresh fish caught by myself or brought by fishermen in the morning. We went to the store and the market once a week. I don’t understand what the problem is with others, I really don’t understand. Did you go broke in the store on draft beer with bread, or did the egg-milk draw a lot? I take everything else in use in the city as much as once a week.
In general, if you don’t want to cook, you don’t need to go to Dolphin. We have been to the cafe in Dolphin twice! I can’t say anything bad and nothing good, but I didn’t go broke... On excursions and trips we ate in other good places, in the same Yalta... why go to the private sector far from civilization to count on a cafe, and even in the city I change cafes with canteens rarely happy.

5. What the hell is the infrastructure!!! , and also the service in fact in a small village with 4 houses? This is a vacation by the sea in an apartment, with savings for the beach, sun loungers, free parking, very profitable savings on "garbage" and savings on food. Also with a clean area, some protection, peace and quiet.
Let me explain that for me personally, on vacation, “bullshit” is all these trinkets and a bunch of harmful “stuff” in the style of cotton candy on the central embankment. Children take out 30% of the budget for all this, it’s easier for me to take them to a water park, a dolphinarium or somewhere else, to “walk” a couple of times (in the good sense of the word), than to listen to screams and groans every day for 14 days in front of each luminous machine , etc. My wife also doesn’t “wine” that she wants to go to a new cafe every day, but we cook at home in the room, or we’ll make barbecue ourselves, who are not afraid to feed children. (If anything, that I have the best children and a spouse, nothing is a pity for them if they have: )
Therefore, for people like me who like to go fishing in the morning to go to the beach at 5 am, and not wait for everyone to gather, feed, change diapers and at the same time - no one will be offended by me, the sun lounger is already waiting on the beach, and bags are big if you don’t need to drag the sea close. So that the children run more and play in the yard with their own kind, sort of safe and without a track under their feet, the ball’s apartment is cozy and on the shore - Dolphin is just perfect. I don’t need a city that’s right around and every day, I can quickly get to it from Dolphin if necessary. Savings on the entrance to the beach and sun loungers, plus on cooking on your own - covers a significant part of the costs, even if you take a taxi to the city.
6. The deposit was not returned. This is generally a song, why pay it, if you expect to return it. It is a personal matter for everyone, you can not pay and look for it upon arrival. I don’t like to go “to nowhere”, so I pay, but such an amount so that I don’t have to worry about it later if I have to lose it. Usually this is for 1 day, I really don’t remember paying more. We booked a room for 1300 rubles. paid a deposit of 1300 rubles. but that was 2014. Then the prices were lower. I don’t understand when they demand to return the deposit if they didn’t come themselves due to any of their personal circumstances.

If you get sick, and Turkey is paid for, then what will all the money be returned? Yes, never! , There will always be a minimum forfeit of the hotel, not the entire amount is returned, if at all, but the trip is paid 100%. The second question is what kind of connections, how valuable as a client, how loyal is the travel agency... and here is a deposit, they didn’t come themselves and who is to blame?
Another option is to stipulate the conditions for the return of the deposit, that if they warned 2 months in advance, then a refund, if in a month, then 50% (the question is whether the owner agrees). If you didn’t stipulate this, then you don’t need to talk about procurators later, but read in general what a deposit is.
Therefore, filter the extra emotions of other people, look at maps, videos, photos, your budget, how many flowers someone needs, and how much ice cream - and there will be happiness. Dolphin is not heaven on earth, but the place has its stable client and the proximity of the sea is the explanation for everything. I also like the view there, it’s mesmerizing when you swim, it’s beautiful...
