Rested in September 2010. in Crimea. When choosing a place to stay, we usually choose this: we start the city in which we would like to relax, and then the hotel.
This year we chose Alushta. They did not know anything about the villa "IvaMaria". When choosing, we were guided only by photos on the Internet and reviews on travel sites.
So Liked:
The grounds of the hotel are really amazing. Removed daily. Excellent interior. The room (junior suite) has a gorgeous view of the sea, a balcony where three can easily turn around, a table and chairs (plastic).
- there is a set of dishes for four (except plates).
- minibar (cosmic prices), so first I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the price list (it is in the room), and then try something.
- double bed. For extra space, the pull-out sofa is surprisingly very comfortable.
- Satellite TV, refrigerator.
- They make delicious barbecue.
- Room cleaning on request.
- Availability of underground parking.
- The presence of a swimming pool.

-Gift from the hotel.
Uncomfortable:
- There is a very small electric kettle in the room (for 2 cups). The three of us rested, so we had to boil water for coffee several times.
- "Weak" hair dryer.
-The hotel has the opportunity to order Crimean wine. In the room you are offered a special binder with a description of the wines that you can try. During the rest we tried to order some types of wines from this file. Unfortunately, most of them were simply not available. Rave.
-There are table knives in the room, and they are, frankly, "blunt". They didn’t take a knife with them, so during the holidays everything broke, not cut)).
-Until the end, they did not understand the “system” of nutrition. The procedure is this. You are offered a menu in which there are 2 complexes to choose from. On average, one of them focused more on the fish component, and the second - on the meat. You must order either complex No. 1 or No. 2. So if, for example, you want a main course from Complex No. 1, and a salad from Complex No. 2, alas, they will refuse you. Although I still don't understand what the problem is.
With lunch, the problem was solved simply - we went to eat at the nearest decent institution, there are a lot of them. Far, but much better.
Did not like:
- We did not understand that with the transfer from the hotel. The site says that it is free, but where exactly, to the railway station, to the bus station or to the nearest turn - it is not clear: D. In general, they take you to the bus station in Alushta (about 5 minutes drive =)
- For breakfast, coffee was either 5 UAH or 4 rubles. In the end, we found out that it just needs to be free : D

About the staff. Aside from a few small things, the staff is excellent. I would especially like to mention the administrator Larisa: she met us very friendly, helped during the rest. Well, in contrast, there was another administrator (they didn’t even remember her name), who answered our questions with a look, as if we personally owed her a lot of money))) On the penultimate day, she called and DEMANDED to indicate the EXACT time of departure. We said that we are aware that the room needs to be released before 12, but we cannot tell the exact time, because. In the morning we still planned to drop by the beach. The administrator didn’t like it very much (“it’s not serious to vacate the room at 11:55, you need it earlier! ”), arguing that she needs to draw up some kind of schedules and she should receive an answer just momentarily. She said that we let her down somehow. (And, as it turned out, on the day of our departure, even no one settled in the room, so we would not have detained anyone)))) In general, such characters spoil the whole impression of this hotel.
And in general it was good. ))
