In 2011 we decided to discover Gaspra. We stopped with a choice at the park-hotel "Marat". The room was booked without intermediaries directly through the park hotel website on the Internet. To confirm the reservation, we were required to make a 30% prepayment, which we disciplined and did. The resettlement went very quickly. Stayed 12 days. Throughout this period, the feeling of discomfort did not leave.
I'll start in order.
ABOUT THE ROOM:
They put us in a deluxe room on the seventh floor. It does not exactly match the photos shown on the website. On the balcony killed plastic furniture. There is a huge hole in the wall in the hallway. Chairs circa 70's. There are no such elementary things as a shoehorn, a brush for clothes, a clothes dryer, beach towels. Change of linen every 3 days. Cleaning daily. On the declared three stars falls short, a maximum of 2-.
ABOUT THE TERRITORY: Not a big park area. In the early morning they sweep, wash, water flower beds and alleys.

CABLE: Delivery to the beach by cable car. The work schedule of the cable car is mostly convenient. I would like the work to be extended until a later time. Hanged a couple of times for a short time. The service staff is very polite and attentive.
BEACH: The beach is comfortable, there is a shady area, sun loungers. It is safe to say that the sea here is the cleanest on the south coast. Rapana, crabs, many different fish swim right at your feet. We rested in the so-called "VIP" area of ​ ​ the beach. Everything is fine, but there is one big BUT. The bottom at the entrance to the water is covered with huge cobblestones. What is it like a pebble. Descent into the water is not very safe. In general, splashing around here is not very safe for children. The probability of breaking legs and arms is 90%.
SWIMMING POOL. The pride of the boarding house. Beautiful, clean, but the water is not sea and smells like bleach.
Had a Thai massage. I recommend to everyone. They make real thai.
"WI-FI" coverage only on the first floor in the lobby. Speed ​ ​ - full brake. Time is ticking and money is running out. It's hard to even check your email.
ANIMATION. Guys are great. They know their business by 5 points.
Nutrition is a separate story.
At first we tried to eat in the dining room No. 1. , because. There was some kind of action, on which we bought. At the entrance to the dining room, we were warmly greeted by threatening signs stating that entry with bags is strictly prohibited. Some things just shocked me. . .
At the entrance, the guard threateningly almost tore the bag out of his hands - this was the first negative.
There are no elementary breaks. You run with a plate for soup, then you run for the second, for bread, for fruit, the result of this is an unorganized crowd of nervous hungry people.
An aunt with a fork stands on meat dishes and, reluctantly, divides them into everyone by a beggarly piece of meat or fish tails.

Who came up with the idea of ​ ​ serving pickled cucumbers and tomatoes at the height of summer if there is an abundance of fresh ones. Vegetable stew with the advantage of one onion. Cold gray mashed potatoes, sticky rice. We cooked the beets, rubbed them on a grater and be satisfied... well, why can’t you cook the same banal vinaigrette...
A security guard runs along the perimeter of the dining room and watches that you, God forbid, put a sour cucumber or tomato in your pocket, or God forbid a piece of bread.
Comrades, is this a buffet??? ? A disgrace!! ! The quality of cooking is terrible. Worse than in Soviet canteens. Many thanks to the workers of the canteen of building No. 6 for not letting us die of starvation. ))))))) Every morning we were warmly welcomed with a great mood, delicious breakfasts and lunches.
And in conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to all the staff for their attention, courtesy, friendliness. All our requests and comments were responded to very quickly.
We recommend that the managers of the park hotel in terms of organizing the Swedish food line learn from experience and learn from your colleagues from Yalta-Intourist or from the Pribrezhny boarding house (now the Ripario Hotel). line". Huge range of dishes, which is constantly updated. There are no threatening signs and with all this, everything is enough for everyone. We have rested there many times and there does not disappear the desire to return again. They have thought of everything: how to meet us, where to accommodate us, how to feed us deliciously, how to organize leisure time, and how to spend so that we return more than once and recommend to all our relatives.
In general, we will put a 3-mark for the boarding house Marat.
