Everything was fine: food (buffet with a moderate choice), rest (quiet without fuss, with mountain views), air conditioning in the room, kettle working, beach with sun beds (and very clean) within walking distance, service (administrators ready to answer any question and solve it), but there were also cons, the room has a falling off whitewash near the bathtub, the laminate is swollen near the bathtub, the curtain is short and therefore all the water on the floor and in the corridor are smeared mosquitoes (although there is a fumigator in the room, only without plates, or maybe the inhabitants did not know about it)
But in general, the hotel is nice and quiet, and most importantly, within walking distance of the beach, shops, market.
I liked that it was clean, spacious, admins, like in Magnolia (near the hotel) are creepy. The sea is visible from the windows, the market and Pyaterochka are nearby. On the contrary, Oriental sweets with a decent selection of goodies, everything is fresh, also clean, which is important in the season, 50 percent were ill that year. I would like to note that the hotel has a beauty salon and massage room, massage therapist Yuri
I don't understand how you can do a massage on the beach? Unsanitary conditions. Hands are not washed, but not only skin diseases of previous clients, but also energy are transmitted through the hands of a massage therapist. In San Marina, Yuri's office is clean, single sheets, sinks, you can choose massage oil or even ointments to relieve pain. And on the beach, they scoop oil out of one jar with unwashed hands. Ugh. Although I will not go to Gagra to rest anymore. Noise, crowding, a narrow strip of beach, no greenery, boats, bananas, etc. constantly come up, they can hit you on the head, the smell of sewage interrupts the smell of the sea. Alas.
We had a rest in July 2023. I liked everything very much. The room is small but cozy, eats everything you need. The person is polite. Cleaning is daily. The food is from the "belly", the canteen is always positive, the guys are great, they don't let you get bored. The sea and the embankment are not far away. I want to come back this year.
