Budaki - left very contradictory impressions.
When choosing a vacation, we got to the website of the budaki hotel. in. ua. On a beautiful picture and on the "excellent" video, we realized that this is a secluded vacation in a separate hotel on the seashore. On a phone call with the owners, they realized the same thing - not telling the truth with us does not mean lying. And the pictures from the site, it turned out, were taken a long time ago.
Without knowing everything, we decided that we would stop here - away from all kinds of buildings on the sea, where, forgive me, there is nowhere even to fart.

With beautiful imaginations we drove all the way. From the turn from Zatoka - the road is a little so-so - but they knew about it because they rested here a little further to Lebedevki last year. Having approached the exit from the cliff in Kurortny - a little “goofed”. The hotel is far from being a stand-alone hotel - at first there were some “smokers” along the road, then a garbage dump, some other buildings of an incomprehensible type ...and behind Budaki everything is also built up.
Well, Budaki themselves - the parking lot immediately put them into a stupor - the cars were parked like a herring in a jar - the doors barely opened so as not to scratch anyone - note that parking will cost you 15 UAH per day - well, if you are parked in a not very convenient place, in the morning the owner will walk along the beach and yell into the gramophone that the car needs to be rearranged.
About the room - June - 80 bucks - 4-bed. We were 3 adults and one child. By the way, if you rent a 3-bed room, they will tell you to pay extra 10 bucks for a child - to anyone, even if the child sleeps with his parents. Additional services in the form of wi-fi - 5 UAH per day - you need to take either for the entire period of rest, for 2 or 4 days it will not work. Speaking of Internet, the speed is excellent. Do not forget about the resort fee - you will also pay it - which at first no one talks about either.

There were no special complaints about the number.
A teapot, cups, glasses, one plate, an ashtray - and stir tea or coffee with your finger - it's more convenient))))))) spoons are not provided. The shower is not removable - to wash the child - not very good. conveniently. Oh, by the way, there is NO hot water late in the evening and at night !!!!!!!! ! ! ! If you arrive at night, wash yourself cold or wait for the morning.
As for the service, there are a lot of complaints. The room was cleaned up. Take off your shoes and feel the clean sand on the floor. The furniture is beautiful, comfortable, the bedding we had was beautifully clean - all good. For free, no one will clean you up ....Guys, you have the same type of hotel and 3 more stars - once in the room it would be possible to clean it up - in the Crimea they cleaned it.
On the terrace - spiders the size of five kopecks - weave a web - there are no complaints about such a life, but - a little scary, you know - children run around. Nobody takes them off. They brought a broom - if you want to remove it yourself.

Turned on the air conditioner - forgot to close the window - turned off the power to the entire hotel - what the hell is with your wiring?
The light was cut down every day, because someone turned on the slow cooker or pressure cooker (I understand these parents, they cook healthy food for their children, because you don’t want to feed a small one-year-old child from the dining room). And the fact that they cut out the light - so you need to work on it - and not with claims to vacationers that someone turned something on.
I was struck by the owner - when leaving the beach there are two faucets - where you can, and it would be necessary to wash off the sand - he did this several times in front of me, a remark to people - wash your feet faster - the pump will burn out! ! ! Well, what the hell - guys - they made a faucet with water - so now every vacationer is shaking over it - because your pump can’t stand it?????? ? ? ? Work on it.
There are no complaints about the territory - small - but beautiful, there are a lot of swings for children, a mini Swedish wall, there is a table for tennis - you can take rackets - for free.
The beach is equipped with a sports ground - a horizontal bar, pears - on which children love to ride, 2 boards for the press. Pleasant unobtrusive music played during the day.
The beach pleased - clean, tidy, there are umbrellas. A big plus is that the sea is nearby - you went out and already wet your legs.
The sea is very good. Dolphins swam. Not deep near the shore - to the waist. The beach is not crowded - no one interferes with anyone. Everyone is comfortable, no one walks over their heads.
About the cafe. The staff in the cafe is immeasurable - but the food is mediocre. Do you want to eat buckwheat, rice or vermicelli on vacation? ! Depending on the form of the potato, it was both normal and so-so - 12-15 UAH ....1 kebab skewer - 4 small pieces of (overdried) meat will cost you 45 UAH. Average quality pizza - 25 UAH.
Salads are so...
Fried fish cutlets with pangasius - fatty - 1 pc - 20 UAH.
I was amazed that we were at sea, but we were eating THAWED FISH! ! !

Chicken in cutlets - parenikh, fried, ham - chops. -20-25 UAH…
For the first - green soup, Ukrainian borscht, Zama, okroshka, hodgepodge ...The first was nothing. Everything is for everyone - but I don’t really like such food ...The stomach from their cutlets stood for a long time. But as they say themselves, you yourself will figure it out with food.
Don't forget to bring mosquito repellent with you. And if you walk along the road to the estuary - look at yourself for TICKS! They are in the grass for sure!
But in general
The holiday was a success thanks to the sea, weather and positive mood. As they say, they looked through their fingers at all this SERVICE. I don't know if I would come back here or not. Or better abroad for the same money ...
Think and decide if you want to rest in Budaki or not.

And to the owners - read and take into account your shortcomings. This is healthy criticism.
