Вилла "Парк Чаир" - изолированный оазис комфорта на фоне руин предыдущей эпохи Villa "Park Chair" - an isolated oasis of comfort against the backdrop of the ruins of a previous era

Rested at the villa "Park Chair" in the period from 24.08. 2009 to 31.08. 2009. In general, the impressions of the holiday are more or less positive, although mixed. In my review, I will try to evaluate on a five-point scale a number of the most important indicators of rest, namely:

1) Accommodation at the villa "Park Chair"

1.1) The level of the room (repair, furniture, appliances). Rating: 5.

Explanation: the room looks decent enough, even when compared with hotels such as Rixos Tekirova 5 * (Turkey) and Sheraton Laguna Phuket 5 * (Thailand), although they are still higher.

1.2) Room cleaning. Rating: 4+.

Explanation: They clean well, but not every day.

1.3) Service of Villa "Park Chair". Rating: 5.

Explanation: Very polite receptionists, always ready to meet halfway and solve the problem. In particular, I would like to thank Irina and Evgenia for their zeal - they are awarded!

2) Meals on the principle of "Swedish table"

2.1) Variety of dishes. Score: 3

Explanation: Often there was nothing for dinner from meat dishes except cutlets, and they, to put it mildly, are not quite meat (meat - 30% percent, the rest are ingredients unknown to science hitherto). Moreover, when one of the dishes on the tray ended, it was not replenished, as a result of which those who did not come by the beginning of the dinner had to be content with what the "Nimble" lovers of the buffet did not like.

2.2) The quality of the food. Score: 3

Explanation: Many dishes are quite often oversalted, the so-called "chops" are like soles, and they are made from frozen meat. Besides, the half-eaten lettuce from the previous day goes where? - the question of the studio . . Answer: it automatically goes to the next day's buffet.

2.3) Service. Total weighted score: 3-

2.3. 1) Service of waiters. Rating: 3-
There is generally no service as such: if there are no napkins on the table, you need to run for a long time and catch the "waitress" so that she replenishes them; about how to quickly set the table - there is no question at all; sometimes there was an impression that the waitresses simply live their lives in general - they dance, talk on abstract topics, and they only remember about their immediate duties from a kick.

2.3. 2) Service management. Rating: 2+

In general, I would like to dwell on this issue separately. Canteen management (in particular, technologist Tatyana Vasilyevna) does not know how to communicate with customers at all, they do not know how to give orders to subordinates and keep their promises. Everything is done according to the principle "The left hand does not know what the right foot is doing. "

However, I would like to describe the circumstances that brought me into a collision with management.

The fact is that in the last days of August (starting from the 29th) they decided to abolish the buffet for lunch and dinner altogether, and replaced it with a la carte meals. Since I paid for the buffet (and this is 70 UAH for lunch or dinner per person), and the portion costs 50 UAH, I had to seek compensation. I went out with a fight to the manager of the canteen (the above-mentioned Tatyana Vasilievna), from which I had to literally shake out compensation for my money. She agreed to add a couple more dishes to the usual portion (for the remaining 20 UAH), but her promises were exactly enough for lunch the next day. And in the evening she disappeared, turning off the phone in advance. The promised compensation for dinner was not followed.

2.4) Repair of the dining room. Rating: 3+.

Explanation: tables, chairs, walls, and other elements of the interior are reminiscent of the Soviet era during the film "Magicians" (NIICHAVO Institute).
I'm already silent about the second dining room (3rd floor of the sixth building) - it's crowded, like in a submarine.

3) Beach (VIP zone)

3.1) Convenience. Rating: 3+

Explanation: fairly large pebbles and a steep entry into the sea,
which gives a number of unpleasant sensations before you plunge into the water.

3.2) Cleanliness. Score: 4

Explanation: apparently, the beach is being cleaned, but there is still garbage. They apparently have some kind of cleaning algorithm: walk along the coast, collect everything that is large in size and carry it away. But to be fair, it should be noted that it is still more or less clean.

3.3) Service. Score: 2

Explanation: None. The only thing that is there is either a lifeguard or a security guard who periodically, accidentally going to the pier, blows into his mouthpiece "swim into the swimming area. " But in reality, no one will pull anyone out, because there is no constant monitoring - it is "cases". So, as Ostap Bender said, saving the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves.

4) Hotel infrastructure.

4.
1) Reasonableness of the location of infrastructure facilities (beach, swimming pool, cafe, hotel building, dining room, etc. ). Rating: 3.

Explanation: All objects are located far enough from each other. Even if the pool is located in close proximity to the hotel buildings, but for example the canteen and especially the beach are not so close. If you do not use a minibus, the schedule of which you need to specially adapt to, the path to the beach is not close and not the most convenient (the slope is at a serious angle). I’m just silent about the way back from the beach: this is for the young members of the athletics team, a middle-aged person will not pull it, he only has to wait for the bus that will take him back to the rest home.


Obviously, this hotel was not built from scratch and is a continuation of the Soviet sanatorium "Marat", which imposes certain restrictions on the infrastructure.
In addition, hotels in Crimea rarely stand on the very shore, like, for example, "five" in Turkey, and the landscape does not quite allow it, so no matter what hotel you live in - you have to go to the beach - you can't get anywhere (especially when it comes to Southern Crimea). But will this make it easier for each individual vacationer? Will he be interested to know why rest is not so comfortable?

5) Park area

5.1) Landscaping + beauty. Rating: 3+.

Explanation: the main part of the territory where the buildings are located is just a huge pile of stone buildings, among which there is not so much greenery. Villa "Park Chair", for example, stands among other buildings, and from the windows of many of its rooms there is a stunning view of . . neighboring buildings.

Landscaping as such generally otstustvuet. There are few flower beds, no fountains and pools, plants and bushes are mostly old.
New design developments, which are even in the fours from Egypt and Turkey, are not available here, and it is unlikely that the local "gurus" have heard of them.

5.2) Cleanliness. Rating: 3+

Explanation: there is a trash bin, including a construction one.

5.3) Well-groomed. Rating: 3.

Explanation: "Park Chair" as such does not exist, more precisely, it exists, but only in the form of miserable remnants of what 150 years ago (I'm not sure about the chronology) pleased the eyes of visiting beautiful countesses from St. Petersburg. The roses have not bloomed there for a long time, and the last almonds have faded a long time ago. The rest of the park is also not very happy (si. p 5.1).

5.4) Comfort of rest. Rating: 4-.

Explanation: construction work is underway in many places, and under the squealing of a grinder and the sound of a hammer, the lines "Nails are blooming in the chair chair ... "

-----

In general, it is not for me to draw conclusions, my task is to try to present my own view of what was revealed to my eyes in the Marat Park Hotel.

I have sufficient experience in the tourism sector and in foreign trips and have the right to write such a review.
Ultimately, of course, it is up to you to decide whether to go there or not. Some people should experience everything themselves, step on a rake, so to speak, and they will go there regardless of any reviews. Parts there probably liked it - I have nothing against them: everyone has their own tastes and their own travel experience. Undoubtedly, this is far from the worst place in Crimea, but if we compare it with foreign hotels ...- It's up to you to judge!
