Отдых в Интуристе Rest in Intourist

For the first time in my life we ​ ​ visited Yalta. I really liked the city, the nature is awesome, the sea is beautiful, clean. Unlike my impressions after Odessa, I want to return to Yalta again and again. How could Crimea be given away, all this beauty, after so much blood was shed for it....very sad... As for the hotel. Unfortunately, there is nothing to compare with, perhaps in others it is much worse. In fact, the food is good, sometimes very tasty, especially porridge in the morning and soups for dinner, you will lick your fingers. Almost everything is delicious, but towards the end of the holiday, not only the monotony will get bored a little..... but the way of cooking is all some kind of stew. I would like to have something meatier... shish kebab, so to speak. This is about the buffet. We did not go for lunch, breakfast and dinner are enough. Because breakfast is included in the price in the morning at the flea market, there are no places, you have to wait. In the evening it is much more spacious. Restaurants on the territory are expensive, kebabs are simply overpriced, for 10 days we have not seen visitors in a cafe where kebabs are served. The A-tavola restaurant has Italian cuisine, there have always been people. We only ate pizza there - delicious, inexpensive, with our money 300 rubles.
We always walked to Yalta. There, 20 minutes downhill, in the heat. Back much longer - uphill, hard. It is impossible to get from the hotel by minibus to Yalta. She walks very rarely, there is a queue for her, crowded, she travels the same 20 minutes, hell inside. I do not advise. You can drive back from Yalta from the terminal. But for this it will be necessary to sit in stuffiness for half an hour - until the minibus is packed so that there would be nowhere to get in - it will not go anywhere. This pleasure costs 3.5 gr. Promised on the hotel website a free bus twice a day to the city is not in fact. At the reception they said that it is not and will not be.
The room was standard superior. In principle, good. The bathroom is new, nice to be in, the room is worse, but not critical. a huge drawback - parking under the windows, the alarm system is yelling all night, drunk drunks are yelling, music is booming. With the balcony closed, you can’t hear anything, but then there’s nothing to breathe. There is air conditioning, but it only blows icy air and is not adjustable. If you do not smoke and the comrades in the next room smoke, you are out of luck, all the smoke will go to you. Smoking is allowed in the hotel.

The beach is good, clean, the sea is crystal. For 10 days of rest, we never had enough places under shelters! Lots of places in the sun. On the beach there are a huge number of small children from zero and above. There is no question of any complete rest at all. Are there hotels without children? Now I will pay attention to it. By the way, almost all children are evil, they saw the purpose of their stay in the destruction of jellyfish in cruel ways. Next to them are touching fat-meat mothers. Mostly Ukrainians. Zero culture.
The sea water was icy. Swimming was only possible for 2 days. Despite the fact that at the same time, from livadia to alupka, people did not get out of the water. Apparently, it is in this place that there are some currents, or I don’t know what... but the fact remains that they swam everywhere, but we don’t. I had to go to the pool. Sea water but still not that...
Excursions in the hotel are expensive, from 200 gr per person. We went everywhere ourselves, it costs not 200, but 7 gr. And we generally walked the Massandra Palace. Uphill 2 hours, but did not regret it.
From the balcony of the room, Massandra Park seems like a wonderful fairytale forest. In fact, an abandoned, neglected, dirty forest plantation. No one is watching, no one is looking after. . .
I think this hotel is overpriced. We left on June 25, and since that day the room rates have increased many times over. For the money I wouldn't go. Especially taking into account the fact that on the 26th the weather deteriorated and it began to rain and the air temperature was +22... "lucky" is someone, pay bad money and sit in the room.
In general, in June I would not go there anymore, it’s not the season yet, but in July-August-September, the prices do not justify themselves.
Yalta is wonderful. But a myriad of homeless animals were killed, they are everywhere, on every corner, skinny, dirty, hungry. Stone Age. The same is true in Sevastopol. In Crimea, there is obviously no program for the sterilization of homeless animals, there are no shelters. This fact greatly spoils the impression. What kind of people live in these parts if they can calmly see this picture every day. Very unpleasant.
