We had a vacation in early August 2024 with two families of four people each (two adults and two children). 5t/day per house per family. We arrived by car. We were provided with free places on the territory. We moved into the cabin just behind the kitchen porch, and our friends moved into the one next door. The cabins have: air conditioning, bathroom and beds. There is a shared kitchen on site — we cooked breakfast there every morning — as well as a spacious veranda for eating and a barbecue area. One of the main advantages is the sea within walking distance. The water is strikingly clear, and the variety of beaches is impressive: you can choose an area with large pebbles, small pebbles or sand — all options are located close to each other. The smooth entry into the water was a real gift for our four-year-old baby: he swam with great pleasure. Another advantage is the breakwaters: it's so great to dive from them! The hosts, Sonya and Rafik, turned out to be incredibly hospitable: they are always ready to prompt and help in any situation. There are also attractions in New Athos such as the Novo-Athos Cave, the Novoafon Monastery, and Iverskaya Gora. And of course we went to Lake Ritsa, the beauty is indescribable. The Mandarin Cafe is within walking distance, where you can have a delicious snack. Without a doubt, I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and sincere family vacation. Everything is just great!

This year we still had the chance to visit the land of the soul of Abkhazia, we have wanted for a long time, and we did not regret it, it is really the best place to relax, and we stayed at the guest house of the Bottlenose Dolphins with the friendly hosts Sonechka and Rafik, they are very nice and good-natured people, always happy to help suggest what you can visit, what sights to see, the atmosphere is just like at home, we met as if we had known each other for a hundred years, the houses are clean, cozy, a large beautiful tangerine garden, the kitchen for cooking is very convenient in terms of having 2 stoves and 2 sinks, no need to wait for anyone, a large veranda where you can sit in the evening with music and, if desired, dance, everything is thought out down to the smallest detail, at the exit from the garden there is immediately access to the gorgeous, very warm and clear sea, and the evening sunset is just a fairy tale, we rested heartily, we hope to come to you again, we already miss you.

Dear friends, I want to recommend to you a very interesting place to relax, called the hotel "Afalin". To begin with, our task was to find a room within walking distance to the sea no more than 100 meters with a clean beach ✌️! The second room has amenities (air conditioning, toilet, TV, beds) 👍 ! Barbecue area with all accessories, access to infrastructure (cafe, shop)! Budget 4-6 t.p. per day -August In general, the requests seem to be Light, but nevertheless they were important to us! This hotel has it all. The hosts "Aunt Sonya" and Rafik "are very nice people "! By the way, they have their own mini bar 👍 you don't have to go anywhere for wine and beer, everything is in the refrigerator and the price is like in a store 😳we were shocked ourselves! The sea is a fairy tale!!! It will be a pleasure to relax with children, there are also many different entertainment options for adults. There is a cafe by the sea with a sea of beer and Soviet chebureks, barbecue, delicious dishes, as the infrastructure is developing rapidly today! If you like fishing, take spinning off the breakwaters and you will fish! The prices are adequate, in general, this is another reason to visit the resorts of Abkhazia. If anyone is interested, visit my channel in tg https://t.me/TravelFamilyDmitrievs You'll see for yourself how fun it is! Therefore, I recommend it, I give 5 points!!!

We had a rest in early July. A wonderful place for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility, birdsong in the garden and the warm clear sea. It may not be very convenient for those without a car and with small children to get to some places for walking (5 km from New Athos), but there are no problems by car. In general, you need to travel around Abkhazia by car to enjoy all the beauties. We enjoyed our vacation immensely! Lots of positivity and positive emotions! We are very glad to meet Sonya and her family, wonderful and kind people! We really hope to visit in the fall.

It's very difficult, for some reason, to describe moments of happiness, you just experience and feel them, live and remember with a smile. That's what happened to our family. A year ago, we visited Abkhazia, New Athos, visiting Sonechka and her family. A warm welcome, such a warm atmosphere, comfortable houses with all amenities are located in a tangerine garden, and the sea is just around the corner through a shady garden. No need to cross any busy roads. The beach is so gorgeous, the sand is there, and there are islands with pebbles. And what kind of sunsets, guysIt needs to be seen! And in the evenings, after a delicious dinner prepared by yourself in the kitchen or ordered from the nearest cafe, you sit on the terrace and sip delicious wine or chacha, sharing your emotions about the day. What a blessing it is. And tomorrow there will be a new trip, for example to the New Athos Cave or the Anakopian fortress, the park in New Athos and Stalin's dacha, to the Ritsa…The atmosphere of happiness and peaceSonechka, see you soon! The moments you've been waiting for all year.

We recently spent an unforgettable vacation in a cozy house in Abkhazia, and I just can't help but share my impressions! First, about the location: the house is located in a picturesque place surrounded by mountains and greenery. The cleanest beach with warm water is just a few minutes away. It is an ideal place for those who want to enjoy nature and tranquility. The house itself is very cozy and well equipped. Inside there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners of the house are very friendly and helpful people Raphael and Sonya. They were always in touch and ready to help with any questions. We have received many recommendations on local attractions and restaurants. As for leisure activities, there are many interesting places in the vicinity: waterfalls, lakes and historical monuments. We spent time on excursions and enjoyed the local cuisine — be sure to try khachapuri and hominy! In general, our vacation in this cabin was a real discovery. If you are looking for a place for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Abkhazia, I highly recommend this house. We will definitely come back! Special thanks to Roman for the warm welcome.

I liked everything very much. Hospitable hosts, clean and tidy territory. It's a pleasure to relax. Many thanks to Sonya and Rafael! I can't even put into words how wonderful everything is! A huge advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the sea. It takes less than 3 minutes to walk from the house to the beach, along the alley along the beautiful green garden.

It's a beautiful place. We had a very good rest. Beautiful garden. There is a parking lot in the courtyard. I left the garden and went straight to the sea. Nice beach, sand! There aren't many people on the beach! Hospitable hosts! From the window of our cottage we looked at the mountains, unforgettable views! In short, we are very happy with our vacation!

The best place in Abkhazia, 8 out of 10 years that we have been traveling to Abkhazia, we have been staying exclusively at this place! The owners are always warmly welcomed, the houses are clean, cozy, with all amenities, there is a large gazebo in the courtyard, summer kitchens. The sea is very close, you literally walk out of the gate, walk a couple of meters and you are greeted by the azure coast of the Black Sea. The kids are generally great, nature, fresh air, you can run, frolic. In a word, the Bottlenose Dolphin is high!!! I recommend it.

We had a rest at Sonya and Rafa's seaside cottages — the impressions were extremely positive. Everything was organized very decently: cleanliness, order, silence, no unnecessary conversations or inconveniences. The house is cozy, it is clear that the territory and housing are closely monitored. I would like to say a special thanks to Sonya for her attitude. She is always there if you need to clarify or help something. Very respectful and considerate hospitality is exactly what you expect from a real host. It's rare. Thank you for the comfort, the silence and the human attitude. I didn't want to leave. I hope we'll come back.

I want to share the wonderful vacation that we spent this summer with the whole family in Abkhazia, in the Suburb of New Athos. Psyrtskha has amazing hosts Sonya and Rafael. A peaceful paradise, surrounded by tangerine trees, various fruit and berry bushes and the most beautiful flowers. The beach with clear sea is a 2-minute walk through the garden, with mountain views on the other side. Wooden houses that have everything you need for living, a summer kitchen for a pleasant stay. On Sony's recommendation, we visited many gorgeous places with stunning views. The children got a lot of emotions from the beauty and communication with the pets that live on the territory. These are 4 cute cats and the incomparably kind dog Chestnut, who accompanied us on all walks and to the beach. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by gorgeous nature and pleasant people. I hope that we will return to this paradise more than once!
