We lived in Hellas Park from August 19 to 25, and while the memories are still fresh, I will try to describe everything in detail. At the reception we were received quite friendly, they looked for our reservation for a couple of minutes, they called somewhere - they found it, the boy took our suitcase and bag and took them to the room. We lived on the 5th floor, I’ll warn you right away - there are no elevators in Hellas, but in a couple of days you’ll take your breath away : ) we got the most extreme room, which was great! The view from the window is amazing, I advise you to take a floor above 3, then the view from the window will be on the sea, and on the mountains, and on the surroundings. Since when we booked the room, there was no longer a standard, we had to take a standard +, it differs only in the presence of a sofa, but the room is very large, comfortable, there is a lot of space, even dance. The price included BREAKFAST, the choice is as follows - fruits (watermelons, melons, apples, oranges, grapefruits), bread (black, white), boiled buckwheat or vegetable cocktail, scrambled eggs, porridge (oatmeal or semolina), sausages (two types), sausage cutting, tea, coffee, compote, milk, kefir, pancakes and scrambled eggs are baked on the terrace.
LUNCH and DINNER - we dined a couple of times in Hellas Park, lunch is simple and without frills. But once we had dinner at the Hellas restaurant on the embankment, here they cook very tasty, but the price tag for dinner was 2 times higher.
THE TERRITORY is not a park yet, but grass and flowers are everywhere, you leave the entrance, and the aroma of honey hits your nose right, clean, well-groomed, watered, cut.

The BEACH is one of the best on the coast, given that there are pebbles and stones everywhere, the beach is clean, smoking areas are equipped along the entire promenade, there are no cigarette butts lying around, the boys on the beach are responsive - they will answer, help. I must say that at 8 am all the sun loungers are occupied, they start to occupy them from 6 am, they just put stones, towels, etc. , which means that the sun lounger is busy. In principle, there were always enough places, but it makes sense to take a sun lounger if you want to spend time under an awning.
EMBANKMENT - it is common, i. e. hotels overlook it - Hellas, Da Vasco, Marine, Irey. The embankment is not long yet, but smooth, clean, at the end of a small complex for children, it seems that there is even an animator (during the walk we saw a woman who was playing with children).
FOOD - tried to dine in the hotel Cafe Yes Vasco on the waterfront - borscht and salad are delicious, pizza - no. But I really liked the simple Burger cafe (I think I’m wrong with the name, it’s opposite Lemon), they cook homemade dumplings there (visitors praised the dumplings, but not very much for me), the pizza is delicious! We didn’t get to Lemon and Sky Lounge, but there were always a lot of people there, they praise, Sky is higher in price, Lemon - I don’t know.
GENERAL IMPRESSION - I want to go back : ) A very worthy contingent, well-mannered people, no one got drunk or screamed, there are a lot of children, their number is probably equal to the number of adults. Club cars are taken from the beach and to the beach, but you can also take a walk, the car drivers always wish you a good rest and a pleasant day. The hotel has a good masseuse, they show movies and cartoons.

Our disadvantages - in general, Helladians respond to letters with lightning speed, but when booking on the website, our room was in the section of rooms with a 5% discount, when I wrote with the question of whether we were entitled to a discount, no one answered me, then upon arrival we spent several days in a row they asked the administrator about the discount, I was even uncomfortable, in the end they didn’t answer us until the day before departure we asked again and were told that there was no discount. What is unpleasant is not the fact that we did not receive a discount of UAH 250, but the fact that the letter and questions remained unanswered, a bad approach to customers. And the second - cleaning, for 2 days in a row they left a sign asking to clean the room, but it was not cleaned, by the end of the second day the cleaning lady said that the sign was blown under the door, and she did not know whether we were in the room or not, although both days she came to us to take out the trash, i. e. saw that we were not in the room. Then they asked her to change the bed, in the evening they found clean, but very damp bed linen on the sofa. As a result, they themselves dried and remade. And the cleaning lady later said that our bed seemed clean to her, so she did not change it. When leaving, the administrator said that there was a question about the dismissal of the lady, apparently, we are not the first with whom she shows excessive independence. As a result, we received answers to our review, sent by mail, already on the way home. The answer suited us, they explained why the discount was not supposed, and for cleaning they promised to correct the situation. believe.
To help readers of this review:
TRANSPORT - we did very easily without a taxi, if you landed at the railway station in Simferopol, then at the station square you can take a minibus to Alushta for 30 UAH, then you will arrive at the Alushta bus station, from there there is a bus to Rybachy, it can take you drop off near the turn to Semidvore, but it’s decent to go down to Hellas, so I advise you to get from the Alushta bus station to the central market of Alushta, there is a bus to Morskoy, which is 2 steps from Hellas. The bus runs from Alushta to Morskoy three times a day - at 8-30.15-10 and 19-00, back to Alushta at 9-00.15-40 and 19-30, costs 15 UAH, over time I can make a little mistake. Buses, trams, and minibuses run around Alushta. The people are friendly and always helpful.
DOLPHINARIUM - to say that we really liked the dolphinarium in the partenite is to say nothing (entrance ticket 70 UAH per person), we also swam with dolphins (250 UAH)! A lot of emotions, dolphins get up to this! The bus to Partenit costs 8 UAH, runs every 30 minutes and back and forth.
AQUAPARK IN ALUSHTA - can not be compared with Dubai, for example, in terms of the number of attractions and size, but everything is very well arranged. You can go, but if you have something to compare, it's not very interesting.
Have a great holiday, we will be happy to go to the Crimea and Hellas again!
