A few days ago we returned from a "fabulous" vacation in Gribovka. About everything in order. I chose the hotel for a long time, looked at the location, read reviews, because I was going to go with a child. I did not want to go to the vain Zatoka. Reviews about the "Barracuda" in Gribovka were different, but mostly positive. Booked a room in early June, made an advance payment. After 3 days they called me back, they said that the money had arrived and they were waiting for us.
We arrived in the evening, the administrator's office was closed, we were looking for someone for a long time, after a call to the base phone, a person appeared, apologized that the administrator was ill, gave us the keys, showed us the number. Here I noticed a sign about the cost of parking - 100gr. per night. To my question (and we arrived by car, the site indicates free parking) - the person told me that this only applies to places directly at the building, the main parking lot is on the hill near the Dachnik boarding house, it’s free there, or rather they pay for parking themselves. I figured out the extra. expenses and drove the car up the hill. The room was not bad, but stuffy, we had air conditioning on almost all the time. Balcony - or rather a balcony, very small, there is a dryer for things, but you won’t be able to sit on the balcony in the evening, you can only stand. All sockets are hidden behind furniture, probably this design. There are no hangers, hooks in the bathroom, there is practically nowhere to hang things, we adapted to hang towels on a hanger in the corridor. In addition, even minor troubles were discovered - a broken shower and a non-working remote control from the air conditioner. It took 2 days to solve these problems - the administration did not have replaceable batteries, and they simply forgot about the shower.
The beach is sandy with lots of shells. The child really enjoyed collecting them. The sea is dirty, near the coastline there are a lot of algae, mud, jellyfish. In the evening, I tried not to pay attention to it, hoping that by morning everything would be in order. However, almost all days it was the same - early in the morning the suspension is smaller, by lunchtime you get the feeling that you are walking in a swamp.
Cafe "Barracuda" - the cuisine is very good, but difficult to achieve. On the evening of arrival, we went to dinner, of course, a little late - 21.30. We were immediately warned that the kitchen is open until 22.00. They offered to choose from the available, something fast. When we came there for lunch the next day, it turned out that all the tables were booked, and they were going to be served. In addition, the cafe is open from 9.00. , At first it serves the complexes, we were asked to wait for half an hour. Thanks to this, we tasted all the surrounding cafes and by the end of the week we knew where which dishes are tastier and what is the pricing policy (in short - Kyiv).
The territory is very small, it is practically non-existent, we walked along the beach in the evenings. There are a lot of mosquitoes, it is better not to go out without protective equipment in the evenings.
Cleaning deserves a separate chapter - on the third day of our stay, it became clear that no one was going to clean or take out the trash. We went to the administrator - the young lady had already recovered and explained that they have cleaning once every 5 days and after 15.00, since in the morning they are busy with entry and exit. If we need to clean more often than this period - cleaning must be ordered, this service costs 50gr. When I asked about the garbage, I received a stunning answer: “Take out the garbage yourself, the container is over there, if you need a bag for garbage, I will give it to you. ” As they say, further comments are superfluous. Considering that we rested for 6 days, the cleaning did not wait.
In general, if it were not for the excursions that we chose ourselves, the rest would have been ruined.
I am not going to Barracuda anymore, and I do not advise anyone to go there, especially if you have children with you.
