I wanted to do it last year, but somehow calmed down, forgot, then did not want to spend hours on posts. But here on Facebook, one woman asked who could recommend a good hotel for a holiday, another replied - "Go to the Breeze de Luxe, it's beautiful" - and then I was flooded with memories of all those not very pleasant moments that I experienced. Well, after all, I decided to write to that woman at once, and write on this site so that people would take the choice of hotel seriously, taking into account the experience of those who have already rested there.
Last June, I spent a few days in Carolino Bugaz at the Ark Hotel next to the Breeze de Luxe Hotel. I really liked the Ark: its pool, where there are always sun loungers by the pool, few people, because only one hotel building, sun loungers by the sea are available to all hotel residents for free, everything is clean, cozy.
But next to it stood the Breeze de Luxe, like a fortress with a vast territory that beckoned with its large pool. I was constantly walking around, looking through the fences at this huge area… and bought). I decided to visit there in July with relatives, because the site of the complex stated that in the territory of as many as three pools (never been in a hotel with three pools - imagined how I would, as king) swim in all three in turn, on choice) and a lake and a water park. And the photos are so beautiful, everything is so big, three-dimensional, class.

The first disappointment was the day of arrival. I have never seen such a thing anywhere in seaside hotels in Ukraine - almost an hour stood at the reception to register and call at the room. Moreover, check-out at this hotel is at 10 am, and check-in is at 2 pm. But even about 14 of us were not settled.
When we started to resent that you have to settle on the 14th on your own schedule, we were cynically told that not on the 14th, but after the 14th, at any time)) But it was still flowers…
The number given was different from the one I ordered. They explained that my room was damaged and therefore offered a more spacious one instead. I bought again. In fact, the spacious room was just above the busiest walkway of the hotel, where the noise and Brownian traffic of holidaymakers did not stop from morning till night (oh, where my booked room is in a quiet place).
However, again, it was still possible to survive, a trifle, if everything else was fine… but…
Within an hour of leaving the room, we faced the main problem of this hotel, which is still unresolved and in principle can not be solved due to, perhaps, greed (or short-sightedness? ) Owners of "Breeze de Luxe" - is the relocation of the hotel.
This is a kind of Khreshchatyk in Kyiv in miniature. During a holiday.
Where everything is teeming with people. As in the center of the anthill.
So, so you understand - in the "Breeze de luxe", in fact, three pools.
One of them, surrounded by a VIP-chorus, is brightly advertised on websites - but in reality it turned out to be much smaller than it seemed to me in the picture. Another - a really big pool. The newest. But you will not feel its size. Because in all the pools everything is literally crowded. You will push and swim every other meter.
It seems that more than a thousand people are resting in a small area at the same time. All built up with housing. Parking - I have never seen such in hotels - is a huge parking lot, as somewhere in the residential area of ​ ​ Kiev, maybe up to half a thousand cars. Constantly cars come and go, ride on the paths where vacationers go.
But the wildest thing was to see people GET UP AT 6 AM to TAKE A PLACE ON A CHAIR BY THE POOL! ! ! ! ! Yes, I'm not exaggerating now. At six in the morning.

To take a seat. I have never seen such game. Really, you come somewhere at 8.30-9 in the morning - and there are no free sunbeds, everyone has towels, bottles, everyone is busy, because there are simply not enough sunbeds. But there is almost no place to put them. The area for such a large number of vacationers is meager.
The so-called water park is two water slides, which are also crowded with people, jumping almost to the head.
Sunbeds by the sea - only for money (oh, where is my "Ark", where everything was quiet, cozy and free for vacationers).
Well, when I wanted to make a barbecue once for the whole holiday and came the night before to see what happened to the grills, are they free - and I was shocked that all the grills are already or "MANY AND PETYA, JULY 22" - I just went crazy After throwing all these bottles down, I went to the administration with a request to do something about it, to which I was given the following answer: "There is nothing we can do, but you can rightfully occupy the barbecue, if free. " Indeed, I then walked away a bit, thinking what to take from the administrators… This question is not for them, but for the owners: why for such a huge number of people only a dozen barbecues and such a huge shortage of sunbeds.
Well, I don't even want to emphasize on such trifles that the so-called lake is actually a small "swamp" overgrown with reeds, sometimes with a not very pleasant smell.
With almost no recreation area with trees and benches, in fact, the Breeze de Luxe Hotel is three swimming pools, around which everything is built under ice, built with multi-lane housing, where hundreds of people walk every hour and a large parking lot, and few lawns everywhere are clogged with signs such as "Do not walk", "Do not get up", "Fine", "Punish" ...
Around the hotel - in general horror: some concrete fences with a pile of garbage around and the railway, no resort and close is not felt, rather - industrial zone or old country houses - and no garden or place to hide from the sun or rain, a bunch of cars and people unfortunate road leading to the sea

The three of us went with relatives. We saw different places, each in different hotels at different times resting near Odessa - in Hrybivka, Sanzheika, Zatoka, Kurortny. Yes, there were some drawbacks everywhere, but the charms always prevailed.
But after visiting the Breeze de Luxe, we realized in one voice that we had never seen such a terrible holiday. And these three pools are not worth it at all. In reality, we moved from urbanized overcrowded Kyiv to the same Kyiv, albeit on the shores of the Black Sea.
Maybe for the villagers who are tired of peace, quiet and want noise, sad, battles for a place on a deck chair - this is the perfect place to relax - immerse yourself in crowds, noise and chaos.
