Холодный июнь в замечательном месте Cold June in a wonderful place

We decided to rest on the advice of our travel agency, "ADK-tour", in the hotel "Park-Hotel", located on the territory of the recreation center "Marat".
So, in early June, my mother and I went to Gaspra. I must say that the air temperature did not indulge in warmth during the first week of summer, so I had to put on several things at once so as not to freeze. This, and perhaps the fact that the hotel's beach is located far below (approximately 500 meters) and we had to go down a rather steep descent, and to make an effort to climb - were the only and most serious disadvantages of our holiday.
But probably we were so positive that the non-working cable car was perceived as an opportunity to get physical activity, since there was no sweltering heat and the road to the sea was almost completely covered with shade.

I must say right away that such a rise will be tiring for the elderly and young children. As an alternative, we were offered to use the elevator of the sanatorium "Ukraine", which is located next door and the hotel gives out passes for free use of the beach. This condition was stipulated when buying a ticket. However, in fact, on the day of our arrival, the passes were not yet ready, and as it turned out later, the elevator in this sanatorium was also inoperative for several days.
A few words about the beach. A narrow strip of pebbles, in some places so narrow that when a wave comes in during a light storm, most of the beach is absolutely unsuitable for recreation. Entrance to the beach using spa cards is free, we paid for sun loungers and were allowed to go to any place we liked. The density of people at that time was low, but by the time we left, it had doubled (we had a rest from 31.05 to 9.06). We compensated for the cold sea (the temperature did not exceed 18.5 degrees) by swimming in the pool of the sanatorium "Ukraine". One such visit costs 25 UAH, the pool is covered, with sea water and heated. The Marat pool seemed cold to us, and given the low air temperature, we refused to swim.
The hotel itself made a great impression. A new beautiful 4-storey building, a fenced area, a cozy courtyard with a pond with goldfish, many rose bushes, small gazebos, swings under light awnings, benches for relaxing, and everything is very well maintained and clean. The staff is friendly, the administrator immediately answered all our questions and in general there was an impression that we were welcome here : )
We lived for a few days in a regular superior room, then moved to a suite. I must say that even in a regular room we liked it very much - inside the hotel everything is done with taste - from light curtains on the windows and beautiful palm trees in tubs to a single style in everything. In general, the hotel has a very "homely" atmosphere. The suite struck first of all with two separate balconies overlooking the sea, a spacious large bed, a separate room with a TV and a sofa and a clean, tidy bathroom.

There were no problems with food either. Breakfast was included in the price of the tour, we took oatmeal, pancakes or scrambled eggs, tea, coffee to choose from. Ordinary canteen food. But we had lunch and dinner at the bistro "Marat", the restaurant "At the mother-in-law" and drank coffee at the "Malibu". Prices are decent if you don't take expensive fancy dishes. Near the hotel there is a market with fresh fruits, small shops, the central road along which for 6 UAH. you can get to Yalta. By the way, we arranged excursions ourselves. Fortunately, the "Park Hotel" has a rather good location and minibuses go there from Miskhor to Simferopol.
In general, we arrived rested and even sunbathed with a small number of sunny days. The mood could not be spoiled either by the construction in neighboring buildings, or the steep descent to the sea, or the cold sea and cool wind. And the hotel left the best impressions. It's really nice and cozy there. Have a nice holiday everyone : )
