Important! Ellings Dolphin is a huge beautiful complex with good and helpful people (the Cooperative includes about 450 owners). This review is about the "rest" in the boathouse booked from the ellingi website. com. ua Julia has Lavender or as she describes herself in the reviews "feet in the sea". This site is the official site for 1/450 of boathouses! ! It is important to read in the reviews who exactly the owner of certain numbers. Reviews are consolidated in general for the Dolphin cooperative, but as I indicated earlier, this may be several hundred different "owners". Another important point is its cost of 6000 rubles. per day. Since if you rent a room at a price of 1000 rubles, then there should be no complaints ?!
So we booked the 2-room boathouse "Lavender" and hoped to have a wonderful vacation.
When booking the boathouse, we planned to get two rooms as indicated on the site. Our first surprise was that the kitchen is a room! i. e.

a one-room apartment (kitchen + room) is actually a two-room apartment, you just didn't know it. It is important that this fact is still masked. In the photo we see a kitchen and three doors. Left to right in the photo. 1 - Bath and toilet, 2 and 3 rooms. There is no plan on the site, so among the mass of photos it is impossible to understand what kind of doors it is. However, upon arrival we open the doors, we get the 3rd door - a refrigerator.
Well, it's okay, you need to rest, the main thing is "feet in the sea"! But it was not there. The entire coastline is occupied by "arbors", these are areas with a stretched net and sun loungers, which are especially relevant in the era of the coronovirus (we think it's not in vain that we pay such an amount), but Yulia did not have any gazebos !!!
There is nowhere else to squeeze your "legs into the sea" except on a common beach with sunbeds lapping each other without side aisles!
How is it Julia? "No problem, take your sunbeds... " and three sunbeds and a broken umbrella appeared in front of the entrance to the room.
Regarding the umbrella, there was another additional instruction - pour water into the tank for stability, otherwise you will shove stones ...(no comment). The question is where should we put them? A beautiful roof has been offered! Feet not in the sea, but the sea is visible. The highlight was whose roof it was : )
Excellent khachapur! We tried belyashi and khachapuri - it's a test! But something didn't add up. Boathouse, balcony in the sea, sea breeze...6000 rub. per day and a broken umbrella on the roof with a delicious smell of fried pies!

Since Yulia's housing is elite, we got an elite sheet! Perhaps it was used as a sail? It's hard to come up with a version ...you can just say some kind of faded rag when folded in the sun. It is difficult to convey a pillow with a photo, if you describe it - fallen pieces of cotton wool. When we took things out of the suitcase the next day, the situation with the bed linen cleared up, they were wet (not wet! ).
The only room, a two-room suite - without windows, was a dugout (or a cellar, since it was dug into the rock). And the strange squares on the sheet are traces of the storage of "Lux" in this room. In which, in addition to sea moisture, the ceiling oozes mountain water!

Our first morning was very interesting. "Early in the morning at dawn, kittens wash themselves ... " Who tried to wash their faces in a toilet sink (for hands)? I recommend trying it to understand. You can see the toothbrush in length - more than half the width of the shell. But it's still flowers! This micro-sink sits just above the knees.
The evening also brought openings. As soon as it got dark, a cloud of mosquitoes stuck around us in the room. They started to fight, but still bit during the night. In the morning I explored the surroundings and right at the entrance to the "Lux" I found a rotten swamp under a drainpipe. It didn't smell very strong, but that's where the mosquito squad was. Do all owners do the same? No.
Others have everything culturally equipped and there is no rot in front of the room. The waste tray goes into the flower bed.
It was not possible to hang T-shirts and shirts to dry, in the "Lux" 2 hangers are required (one of them is made of wire, you can then get traces of rust on clothes, taking into account the basement).
We decided that if we don’t like it, it’s not a problem, we’ll find another place. We notify the "owners" that we will live this week and leave. But it was not there! For Yulia and Sergey, this is a loss of income! On a request to return the money from Sergey, we receive an answer with the question "What money? ".

I forgot to mention that upon our arrival, the first thing Yulia offered to do all the "things" - to pay! The fact that we wanted to have a bite to eat from the road (we were decently hungry) and were standing with a package of cooling khinkals bought nearby, Yulia was a little worried. After the cash was in the hands of Sergei, the contract and the receipt were no longer the "first thing. "
Somehow later, now it’s better to eat your cooled stuck together khinkali. How many people come to rest lose their vigilance!!!
First of all - sign (after reading) the contract, check your passport and certificate or power of attorney for the rented premises, and do not transfer money without a receipt, receipt ...!!!


Well so here is "What money? ". It should be noted that at the moment, the other owners around us on the beach are already, respectively, in the "course" of what is happening and only sympathize, since Yulia and Sergey turn out to be "famous" personalities in the district, in terms of the adequacy of communication with others. After vain attempts to resolve the issue by negotiations, having received insults in our address, we go to the police of the city of Alushta, we file applications for fraud.
I must say that when you are at the police building, you understand that your problem is not a problem. But nevertheless, the police officer finds time and arrives at the boathouses.
According to the results of the "conversation" Julia promises to return the money on the day of departure. Sounds suspicious...but at least the receipt of the money is acknowledged. Regarding the contract and the receipt, the policeman sent to the tax office (which is logical). After a while I receive a message.

Taking into account the "experience" of communicating with these people, we invite the boathouse guard as a witness.

This was followed by an already "run-in" scenario of the actions of scammers. The "delivery" of the room was as follows, Yulia and Sergey went one after another, checking the nightstands, turning on, turning off the TV ...for 30 minutes. We are sitting outside, the temperature is 32 in the shade. The goal is to get rid of the witness. Next, Julia demands to vacate the parking lot (remove the car beyond the territory of the boathouses, there is nowhere else). Where are we going to pay? - the answer is "Behind the gates" ...

We are waiting for Yulia to appear in another half an hour (the distance from her office to the security building where we are located is 150 meters, by 12 o'clock the heat has intensified even more). Julia gives us a piece of paper and asks us to write a receipt ...turns around and disappears with the words - "write, call .. ". Our witness security guard is receiving calls at work, please do not go far. The receipt is written, we are waiting ...Closer to 2 pm, almost 3 hours later, after the appointed time for the delivery of the room (we are in front of the gates of the boathouses), Yulia and Sergey appear with money. Sergey demands to hand over the receipt, while holding the money in his hand in a folded form (a classic of the genre) and to our protest and request to count the amount in his hands, he replies that he can come tomorrow ...We give the receipt ...we count the money, the shortage - 1.000 rub. : ) as expected. I show (count) money in front of witnesses (guards). We go to the police, write a second statement about fraud, and head home.
