Finally, I'm ripe for a review!
We rested from June 5 to June 21 with three children (8 years old, 3.5 years old and 1 year old).
We definitely liked it! Of course, there will always be minor flaws, but the hotel has much more advantages! I have been choosing a place to stay in the Crimea for almost a year - and I have not found anything better for the money.
Well, a lot has already been written about the pros! Nature, sea, intimacy, staff, rooms, animations! , I would especially like to thank the animators! Many thanks to the girls and guys led by Natasha! You are great! Inna, Vika, Julia, Olya, Lesha, Denis, Borya, thank you very much and greetings from my boys - Leshka and Andryushka! They often remember you!
The kids didn't want to leave! Yes, and we would certainly extend our stay for a couple more days if there were free rooms. ! And next year we plan to come to Marlemar again)
But still I will write about the minuses that were! And I would love to see them removed!

As a mother of three children, and even a small child, food was very important to me! And the choice of the hotel not least fell on Marlemar precisely because of the children's menu! But unfortunately, this often had problems! Now I don't mean my middle child who ate exclusively at the adult smorgasbord! And not once has anyone in our family had any indigestion or other health problems! But I often couldn’t feed the younger one (and we had to eat the baby food we brought with us (Although it is indicated that the children’s menu is designed for children from 9 months old !! ! For example, breakfast cereals for more days of our vacation were terribly sweet - just like jam! There was no children's table as such for breakfast, it was assumed that I should feed my child with porridge. For the first time, I did not attach much importance. The second time we went to the reception and asked to convey our request to the cooks, because if who likes it sweeter - no problem, add sugar. A couple of days the porridge was normal. Then everything began to repeat itself again. We are non-confrontational people, we don’t like to tear our T-shirts and run after the staff - so we found ways out of situations on our own. A similar situation was with oversalting (and not even adult soups, but grated cream soups for children (. Quite often, the children's menu included dishes, for example, for children from 2 years old - I doubt that someone fed a child at 9 months smolders and french fries (and vice versa, sometimes there was only cream soup and porridge. My average would not eat either. Why is it impossible to diversify the children's menu to several dishes aimed at different ages of children! After all, the bulk of vacationers are families with children of different ages! And for any parent, the main thing is to feed tasty and healthy food to your child, and not, first of all, to yourself! For example, we never had fruit puree! Although it seems like it was present on the menu. Cottage cheese appeared closer to our departure - but only for breakfast, very fatty and also very sweet. I could not give such cottage cheese to my one-year-old daughter. At first, we asked waitress girls to blend steamed vegetables and boiled meat from an adult buffet for a child with a blender. And for about a week they rescued us. And then they said that the blender was broken (We were upset, we thought that the problem would be solved in a couple of days - but until the end of the holiday the blender was never repaired and did not buy a new one (how can this be? - the only option is the excuse of the cooks (It was unpleasant ( In general, the children's menu DEFINITELY needs to be finalized!!!
The adult buffet suited me personally! Yes, we ate and did not try everything. Everyone has different tastes and desires! But there was always a choice! There were many delicious meals! By the way, someone in the review scolded pike perch - I still remember him with love) And I repeat, even my one-year-old daughter has never had any problems with the stomach or intestines!
The only drawbacks that have already been mentioned in the reviews here are delicious dishes, especially cakes and fruits, which tend to run out and are replaced by not very tasty ones (And coffee for breakfast is generally a deficit! Advice to the hotel is to put another boiler of coffee on the table, and not pour raw water into brewed coffee! Then everyone will get everything! I don’t think this is such a problem for the hotel management!
Another small disappointment was that upon arrival there were a lot of unfinished repairs on the ter-and hotel. Although the SEASON had already lasted 5 days (The sauna was under construction on the beach, the children's pool on the beach was without water for another week, or even more. Buddha Beach was also being completed and opened in 5 days. The sports ground was not working yet.
This is my critical review! But still guys, well done! Keep it up! Strive for the best! We hope to visit you again next summer; )
A little later I will add favorites from our huge Marlemar photo archive)))
