We rested at the end of August for 10 days. We will express our opinion to you, as vacationers who have previously vacationed in VIP class hotels, both in Ukraine and abroad, for example, if someone has heard about the Rixos hotel chain, Hilton will understand us. But in 2009, having bought an apartment in Kyiv, they decided to organize an economy class vacation for themselves for one year and in a place that they had never been to. I liked the boarding house very much, including the staff, everything is homely and caring. Initially, we chose a boarding house according to the following criteria: what would be a quiet place (the ability to sleep off), the availability of hot water around the clock, the presence of a good room with air conditioning, TV, refrigerator and new furniture. In addition, the ability to pay for meals of our choice i. e. do not pay immediately for three meals a day, but pay “on the spot” when we want it . . for example, one day we rest at the disco all night, so we don’t order breakfast in the morning. we will sleep all morning . . or if we decide to go to a restaurant in the evening, we don’t order dinner. We opted for Olbia and did not lose.
It is our deep conviction that this boarding house is an ideal combination of price and quality for an economical vacation, or rather, the price is much lower than what a person can get for such a price in the Crimea, Koblevo, Odessa or other similar vacation spot, and now in more detail:
1. Location and territory. It is located approximately 300 meters from the sea in a very quiet place, at first we thought that it was not very convenient, but as it turned out, we made a very right decision, because in those boarding houses that are located near the sea (according to other people's reviews) it was impossible to sleep t . to. on the embankment there are many open discos, bars and restaurants, amusement parks with music tangible enough that it would be impossible to fall asleep. The territory is not large, but very cozy and well-groomed with many flowers (the grass is cut, the flowers are watered, the tiles are washed, the pool is cleaned, the trash cans are removed, etc. special thanks to the Organizer Leonid Ilyich). On the territory of the pool; which is very conveniently located (left the room and immediately plunged into the water; at any time of the day), except when we went to the boarding house we thought that the pool would be constantly crowded with people, as it turned out, on the contrary, most people went to the sea, and those those who were lying near the pool swam according to the principle “some couples sunbathe, others swim” (the pool is not as small as it seems in the photo) and, as a rule, it was always free by the pool, by the way, there were a lot of trestle beds and comfortable beach chairs near the pool, each has urns and ashtrays. At night, the pool and grounds are nicely lit. Olvia is connected by two similar boarding houses: "Skazka" and "Alexandria", but we liked "Alexandria" less. is located right next to the road and when cars pass, all the dust flies to the boarding house, which is not very attractive, and in the "Fairy Tale" food is better (by the way, it is several times more expensive than in Olbia), but there is no pool on the territory, which also does not appeal to us very satisfied. Free parking (not unimportant), It was nice to go to the sea. We walked through the park area, there is a mini market along the way.
2. Nutrition.
We can not agree with people who write bad things about nutrition here. Firstly, the food is tasty, varied (fish, meat, chicken, etc. ) and there is enough of it to eat, it is always hot for lunch, the second and some kind of fruit, in addition, I noticed that Leonid Ilyich is quite rigidly following, so that the products arrive with high quality and not expired, and for us this is very important, in addition, he monitors the cleanliness of the dishes, the availability of napkins, etc. Secondly, we do not understand those people who complain that they do not give kilograms of fruit, etc. P. frankly, we are very surprised if you want a huge assortment of food products, then accordingly you need to choose a boarding house for a different price proposition and a different class, and you want for such a price that you would be filled up with food and even carried on your hands guys objectively treat these things, and if we take into account the cost of living and eating in a boarding house, then we believe that, God forbid, that in every boarding house in Ukraine at such a price they would be so fed and provided such living conditions. Thirdly, in the boarding house it is possible to order food on the spot, i. e. Initially, you can pay for accommodation, and pay for meals as you please. We did just that, initially we paid only for accommodation, and if our plan for the next day included an excursion, a disco, a restaurant, etc. , then we paid only when we considered it necessary, for example, on one day we pay only for breakfast , and the other tomorrow and lunch, and the third three times.
When we arrived, at the beginning we thought to eat in other places where there are complex lunches, breakfasts and dinners at a similar price so as not to return often to the boarding house, but after trying a couple of times we saw complete unsanitary conditions in the establishments that looked decent at first glance, so making sure that the fact that in our boarding house in this respect the order (thanks, first of all, to Ilyich) made a choice on food in Olbia or in an expensive restaurant, which are very few in the Iron Port.
Number
We liked the room. European-quality repair, double-glazed windows, linoleum (it’s very good when you enter the room directly from the pool, the carpet can emit an unpleasant smell), air conditioning, refrigerator, new furniture, which included: a double bed, a sofa, a wardrobe and things, a coffee table, an armchair and cabinet for things; a bathroom with a shower, washbasin, toilet, boiler, towels and a stand for toiletries. Hot and cold water around the clock, if you need a knife, dishes for melons and watermelons, they will give you no problems in the kitchen.
Staff.
Naturally, first of all, of course, Leonid Ilyich deserves special attention.
His past biography, as a successful manager (we found out a little later), is clearly noticeable in the organization of the work of personnel, even if it is small....everything is constantly controlled, demanding, tough and attentive (although at first glance it is imperceptible) the boarding house is just such a person, everything was always done on time, everywhere and in everything cleanliness and order... at night the guard does not sleep... and this is only a small part of what we noticed. But I liked one little story the most:
We, as gourmets, could not resist the food that they carry along the beaches and once ate shrimp and baklava, after a few hours we became very ill . . so Leonid Ilyich called, found out if there was a doctor on site, put us in his car and took me to the clinic . . there he found a doctor and, making sure that we were provided with qualified medical care, he left us, though he kept repeating: “I told you not to eat what they wear on the beach, ” and so with regard to Ilyich, make hasty conclusions if you don’t like something about him;
Another special attention deserves Lena the cook, a young pretty girl who cooked very tasty, pleasant, smiling and courteous.
We cannot agree with what they say that there is a division into “ours” and “not ours”... our advice to you is to treat the staff politely and affably and you will be treated accordingly, we have always done this regardless of the class of the hotel or boarding house and we don’t remember that our vacation was ruined because of the staff, but boors in this boarding house can feel very, very uncomfortable;
In addition, we did not come to engage in familiarity, but to relax, swim and sleep, so we did not need to be carried in our arms, although the attitude was already good.
Disadvantages.
To be honest, we had no complaints about the boarding house at all, we knew where we were going, how much and what we would get as a result, the only thing that could confuse some of the vacationers:
1. There is no daily cleaning, it is cleaned only upon arrival, but if you give a little to the cleaning lady, she will clean you without any problems at any time of the day.
2. There is no soap and shampoo, you have to take it with you.
3. There is no top cover on the bed.
Taking into account our requirements, the cost of the boarding house and what we got as a result, the rest really took place, and we hope to visit the Olvia boarding house again.
Summary
A boarding house where for a relatively small fee (one might even say ridiculous) you can get a fairly good rest, with a good room, food and staff.
Special thanks to all the staff of the boarding house, we hope to come again.
