We are frequent guests in Iron Port. . . and Dolce Vita is not a stranger to us! Therefore, we decided to spend our summer vacation in a boarding house already familiar to us, because. they began their acquaintance with the Black Sea in the Iron Port from it and were then among the vacationers of their first summer season, so there is something to compare and analyze the development of this complex with.
Location: very close to the sea, but the beach is public, so there are a lot of vacationers, sun loungers are paid.
Territory: in our opinion, it has become less spacious due to the completed buildings, the walls of the new buildings located along the perimeter put pressure on the inner part of the courtyard. In fact, the territory of the complex consists of a swimming pool located in the center, a sun lounger area (which is not designed for the actual number of vacationers and a sidewalk path to the exit from the hotel / gate. There is no longer an open playground... children, young and old, entertain themselves on the top floor the main 5-storey building, which is not very favorable for summer pastime, because I would like the children to stay outdoors more. The presence of a children's animator is of course a big plus, but there is no where to play... everyone around him jumps on one place with music. . .

Pleased with a separate barbecue area - it is also a place for rest of noisy companies with drinking alcohol (in the past it was just a standing barbecue with a set of plastic furniture, located under a canopy of the second entrance to the main building).
Meals: at will and without any special changes... mainly semi-finished products and poultry products on the menu.
Residential complex: due to its service life, it is already tired (the interior decoration of the premises needs to be updated, the plumbing is not the first freshness, the furniture is still the same as before, the mattresses on the beds and pillows need to be replaced), i. e. depreciated for all 100 %. Also, additional services of an advertising nature have been added to the residence complex, namely: mud therapy, sauna and indoor pool (1 procedure is included in the price).
Pricing policy: taking into account the high growth of competition, the cost of staying on a summer vacation in Dolce Vita is too high. . .
It is a pity that the previously positioned "complex" as a whole has lost its attractiveness and has become similar to all "yards of the Zheleznoport format". The main reason is clear... maximum beds and minimum conditions for a long comfortable stay. I would already recommend Dolce Vita no longer for a summer holiday with children, but simply as a "weekend tour"!
