This is not a custom review, but an outburst of emotions from a Muscovite family (2 adults + 2 children), who has just returned from a three-week vacation in this wonderful, recently opened club, which will definitely become the PEARL of the Sea of u200bu200bAzov in the near future.
For 15 years of work in the field of international tourism, I have visited many countries, resorts and hotels in the USA, France, Spain, etc. , and, honestly, I want to say that the Diodon Hotel deserves the HIGHEST PRAISE. Yes, of course, for that kind of money you can relax in Turkey in 4 *, but with all my great love for Turkish holidays, I simply have to note a number of significant advantages of relaxing on the Sea of Azov in general and in the club "Diodon" in particular:
1. No need for a passport. No comments.
2.
Convenience of booking and payment: we sent a request by E-mail directly to the hotel, paid through Sberbank for 1 night (it is also a fine in case of cancellation of the trip), upon arrival at the club paid the remaining amount using a bank card. When traveling to Turkey, most often the entire amount must be paid immediately and in advance, and the penalties in case of cancellation are very significant.
3. Easy to get to: train tickets (both round trip) were purchased at the ticket office of the Kursk railway station 45 days before departure without any problems and much cheaper than to the Crimean or Caucasian directions. I got on the train and sleep and rest, in a day you are already in Berdyansk, ONLY 20 MINUTES (! ) By taxi - and you are already on a distant spit, "away from the noise and bustle of the city. "
In order to get to a Turkish resort, as a rule, you need to get up at 3 am, arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure, stand in line for registration, border control, boarding, then upon arrival again border control, waiting for luggage, waiting even longer for lost tourists by bus, on the way to the hotel for another 1-3 hours. Problem with two kids.
4. Climate and beach. In July, the temperature in the Aegean is higher than 35 degrees in the shade, in the Mediterranean it goes over 45. There are few sandy beaches in Turkey, and they are mostly near expensive hotels, but the vast majority are pebbles or a platform beach, which is also not very comfortable for children. . In Azov, the daily air temperature fluctuated around 30 degrees, the beach is sandy, with a small strip of small shell rock, the water temperature is 24-26, at the entrance to the sea it is shallow, 10 meters from the water's edge is already deep, the bottom is hard, sandy, without stones, algae, jellyfish and hedgehogs, which suits both children and adults.
5. Hotel.
All descriptions and photos on the site are really TRUTH. We ourselves did not believe until the last moment, we know how reality is usually embellished in advertising booklets and on websites. Friends and acquaintances advised against going to Ukraine: dirt, lack of service, poor feeding, etc. A STEREOTYPE OUT OF ITSELF! But what really happened: we experienced a SHOCK in the good sense of the word! The motto of the hotel: "It's good where you are! ". Solid European foursome! The abyss of harmony and taste! Everything is thought out to the last screw! And now on the points: at the entrance to the hotel territory - the security service, ATTENTIVE and FRIENDLY young people, they know the guests by sight, they monitor very correctly so that there are no strangers either in the hotel or on the beach. Excellent parking for cars under a lattice canopy. Next is the first building with a reception on the first floor.
CHARMING as for the selection of a girl, at any time of the day CUTE and FRIENDLY, perfectly inform on any issue and instantly solve any problems that arise. Here is the reservation service and the hotel administration, whose employees were trained in Europe. FABULOUSLY PATIENT and VERY RESPONSIBLE, on the day of arrival they conducted a tour of the hotel, throughout the rest they were surrounded by care, helped in organizing an excursion to Berdyansk, a return transfer, solving minor health problems and much more. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, in all three pools there is always clean and warm water. Along the perimeter of the pool there are a sufficient number of sunbeds with comfortable mattresses, most of which are under a lattice canopy. Next to the pool bar with tables and large umbrellas.
Under the pool there is a chic SPA center, the services of which we have repeatedly used (the children really liked the tea-drinking ceremonies in the phyto-bar and massage). The tea recipe was specially developed according to our wishes. Then the second building overlooking the sea. Perfectly equipped cozy rooms with all the necessary amenities were cleaned daily by very POLITE maids who were always inquiring about the cleaning time that was convenient for us. Between the building and the restaurant there is an original playground in the form of a sailboat of the 7th century with a captain, cannons, cannonballs and a treasure chest. Nearby is a patio with a pretty fountain illuminated at night, antique bas-reliefs and a bar. The air-conditioned indoor restaurant corresponds to the highest category - and Italian dishes, and serving, and service.
SCHOOLED and SMILING waitresses from the first visit understood the tastes of visitors, and by the next arrival everything was ready according to their desire. The head of the restaurant and the administrator of the hall treated the guests of the hotel with all their heart, and it was NOT FAKE! And the cuisine was simply EXCELLENT, both the wide choice and the taste of the dishes, all the freshest and freshly cooked! Beautifully decorated with exotic fish and animals, the grill bar by the sea is remembered for oxygen cocktails, amazing kebabs and sophisticated music performed by artists with conservatory education. The hotel's private beach is 30 steps from the room, equipped with a awning, sunbeds, cabanas and showers, and was cleaned, leveled and looted every morning.
To sum it all up, we say we had a FABULOUS HOLIDAY!!!
P. S. Once again we thank the entire staff of the hotel and its founder for the pleasure!
