нам всё очень понравилось we liked everything very much

My husband and I were in Merry Hotei at the beginning of August this year. What I did not like - the cost of rooms (above average). What I liked is everything else. Food - we only had breakfast. It was just a great buffet. Here is an approximate menu from one breakfast: rice milk porridge (I haven’t tried it), pasta and chicken fried with some kind of sauce (I really liked it), with a choice of mayonnaise or ketchup dressing. Sliced ​ ​ tomatoes and cucumbers. Cheese cut. Fruits were watermelon and melon. Every time there was something different from flour, either croissants, or puff tongues, or cheesecakes, once there was something like cheesecakes. There was always a bowl of jam. Tea or coffee to choose from and cream in jars. Sometimes there were yogurts and boiled eggs. All this could be taken in unlimited quantities. On other days, instead of chicken, there were sausages or sausages or fish.
Our room was standard plus. Very nice, small but cozy. Veranda with furniture and awesome view of part of the sea, Bear Mountain and part of the town of Gurzuf. The room was cleaned every day, and every day they brought four new white terry towels. I really liked the pool, always clean and heated to 25C. with sun loungers around. (My favorite place was in the midday heat : )) The staff is very polite (well-trained), although I don’t know how they could tolerate some guests. Food from the bar was brought to us wherever we asked: they brought it to the room and always brought ice cream and cocktails to the pool. I can’t complain about the noise from the street, although our veranda overlooked the road, but since we slept with a closed veranda and the air conditioner turned on.
The hotel has its own beach, closed to outsiders, BUT very, very small in size and people there : (. . . no less than on a common beach. Therefore, it was easier for us to take sunbeds on a common beach every day right by the water (no one interferes and doesn’t walk on you), but minus the pleasure is expensive 60 UAH. (250 rubles) one sunbed for the whole day (although the comfort is worth it and there are always free sunbeds). Go to the beach for 4-5 minutes going down the hill, but going back up ( but there is not much to climb).

In general, what can I say: Cheerful Hotei, of course, does not reach the hotels of Turkey there, Greece (there is no point even in comparison), but, on an equal footing with many other hotels in Crimea, he is head and shoulders above them (this is comparing different hotels and sanatoriums in which we and our various acquaintances were) We have not a single claim to the hotel, except for the rather high cost of living, but as they say, you have to pay for comfort.
