Скудно и просто Painful and simple

Vacationing with my wife and daughters. For some reason, I remembered a long-standing vacation near Anapa on Taman as a savage - but there remained very warm memories of the hospitality of the inhabitants of the villages, which compensated for everyday inconveniences. We took the all inclusive system. Accommodation in a small room, but with a good sea view. Most of the equipment (washer, juicer) are not working. But there were household inhabitants - ants, cockroaches and other unidentified ones. Soaps and shampoos are not available. Terribly uncomfortable beds, often falling apart, small pillows. The pool at the hotel is small and shallow, it was treated with some kind of chlorine-containing substance, but the inhabitants of civilized Europe occupied sunbeds from him at night. Barbarians from the northern country, covered with snow, were looking for places near the Mediterranean Sea. To the sea to go about 20-25 minutes, the way back up the hill. The municipal beach is equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas for 2.5 euros, a shower is also for these monetary units. But we did not like it - it is surrounded by breakwaters and the water has a somewhat stagnant smell, there are no waves. Therefore, we moved to a wild beach closer to the hotel. The beach is pebbly, take coral slippers with you. As a shower, you will use the water you brought with you from plastic bottles. Gourmets can take a bus to the blue lagoon and clean beaches. There, visit the baths of Aphrodite and ride donkeys (for only 10 euros). Landscapes are pleasing to the eye and soothe the soul. The nearest shop is 1 km from the hotel next to the port in Latchi. Be sure to visit the taverns in the port and order the fish meze.
The all-inclusive system deserves special attention, or rather "not quite everything" in the hotel: be sure to study what is included in it, and for what you will be billed. You can drink Kappa beer, but Keo beer for mani, apple juice please, pineapple for mani. The choice of food is minimal. Chicken, pork, and sometimes fish are present as meat surrogates. Children saw yogurt for breakfast as many as 2 times. Even a batch of pancakes brought from the kitchen is taken apart within 2 minutes. The kids didn't like the puddings and cupcakes. Fruit was practically non-existent. I saw grapes plucked from the branches, no more than a kilogram was generously taken out for breakfast for everyone. Several were surprised by the Cypriot hospitality on the day of departure. After renting the room at 12-00, they were waiting for the bus for the transfer at 14-00. We were offered lunch for 10 euros each.
The hotel staff is quite friendly. A tip of 1-2 euros is desirable. Of the Russian-speaking staff - at the reception is a sympathetic Baltic blonde Isolde.

Next time I will not consider hotels with such a distance from the beach, especially the municipal one, for recreation.
