Short and to the point.
Positive aspects.
Sea.
The buildings are located directly on the seashore. There is a hull in which there are 20 steps from the exit of the hull to the entrance to the sea. A large number of rooms, ranging from "I forgot when the last repair was here - building 7 "Azure", room 7323" to "and we have 2 bathrooms, 2 TVs, etc. - building 6 "Eucalyptus". Building 6 is decent, the Comfort-Connect room is good.
The sanatorium is located close to the historical part of Sukhum.
Not far from the paid Mocha beach, 25 minutes on foot, 5 minutes by taxi. If you want to feel what a real beach in Abkhazia is, and what it means to sunbathe comfortably, go there. For 200 rubles you will get a gorgeous sunbed under a gorgeous canopy. Yes, it won't be the first line, but it doesn't matter.
Now the negative points.
If you eat primarily at sea for the sake of the sea, then you can settle in this place. If you are willing to accept that you are a little nae...Yes, but you came first of all for the sake of the sea, then I repeat, you can settle.
And so be prepared for the fact that:
- you can be accommodated in the junior suite building 7 "Azure", in which the repair stopped at the entrance door to the room. And the number will correspond to the one declared at the time of sale only on a formal basis. There will be 2 beds with a manufacturing date of 1900 of some year, on which you can do everything. For example, drying apples, laying out things. But there is no way to sleep, because when you turn over, the creaking is such that they wake up in the next room. Or a sofa, the evenness of which is inferior to the evenness of the pebbles on the beach. Or here's a bathroom, without ventilation. And if the neighbors are washing from below, then without water, because there will be no pressure.
The girls from the reception desk. You can't trust them. Generally. You can negotiate with them about anything, they can promise anything. But, since they change almost every day, all yesterday's promises disappear with the arrival of a new employee. The issue needs to be resolved here and now.
Canteen. Be ready to fight for food. Conditionally, of course, to fight. The small area of the dining room does not allow to receive everyone. At some points, trying to add food to myself reminded me of a sketch from the program "In the world of animals": Africa, the desert. The body of one small lamb is lying and hundreds of hungry hyenas are rushing around it in an attempt to tear off a piece for themselves. But as soon as you get something for yourself (if you're lucky) Also try to find a table to eat it. I can't say anything about the quality of the food because such an organization in the meal did not suit me and the maximum that I ate there was cereal with milk for breakfast. Thank God you could always eat them. And so a cafe or restaurant. The guys cannot organize a comfortable meal for vacationers from different buildings.
Here's another disadvantage, with paid meals, be ready to pay again. And you can not refuse to eat when buying a ticket.
The narrow coastline. The presence of buildings killed by time in the field of view and on the beach. The absence of a normal canopy, even in those places where deck chairs are rented. Well, you will also have to fight for a chaise longue and an umbrella from the hotel. Although we must be honest, this phenomenon is found almost everywhere. However, the moment that umbrellas and sun beds are given out in one place, the crowding of people in this place is no different from relaxing somewhere on the "Imiretinsky beach" in Sochi. What I think is unacceptable for Abkhazia, with its unimaginable beach lines.
For me, a comfortable stay in the pension "Country of the Soul" looked like this: I woke up and immediately went to the sea, breakfast "cereal", again to the sea until 11 or a walk through the historical part of Sukhum, a trip to a cafe, Mocha beach, dinner in a cafe, a walk through the historical part of Sukhum.
I've never seen a worse hotel and service in my life. I put 1 star purely for nature and the sea nearby.
The numbers, as written in the description, are new, that's right, but they are not removed from the word at all. We have been waiting for a towel for a whole week, asking every day at the reception to bring a set. We had a room for 3 people, but only 2 towels and shower accessories. I also slept on a mattress on the floor for 1 day, because they did not have time / forgot to put the bed, and if I had not gone and raised a scandal, no one would have brought this bed. In addition, the light is steadily turned off several times a day and it is unclear when it will turn on. Elevators periodically break down and get stuck. One of the advantages of Wi-Fi in the room , which also works every other time . Some buildings also have stools and a table on the balcony. We did not have it , although the trip was not cheap . The reason is that they did not have time to deliver , order , or bring . I also had to beg constantly.
Canteen. A separate topic for discussion , the food is just as bad as it can be , some kind of dog slops , everything is raw , dirty , there are not enough plates forever , huge queues , full house , and all because the food is in a chaotic order throughout the dining room without any logic , people are poisoned here every day in the truest sense of the word And I also got very poisoned on day 3 and spent the whole night at the toilet. Nobody really wipes the tables, so if you're a fan of a late breakfast, be prepared for a super dirty table.
And one more joke, this boarding house is simply not physically ready for a large number of guests, they sold more vouchers than there are rooms, so some people had to move to other hotels)
In general, I will not wish anyone to rest here in my life. Especially if you've been abroad and know what an All-inclusive should look like
Rather, everything is turned off. The food in the dining room is half-cooked and tastes disgusting.
They got sick with rotavirus on the third day, so much so that the horses almost moved.
Toilet paper and shampoos need to be begged several times, they probably don't understand at first.
The rooms are dirty, with mold on the walls.
The staff is rude and covers themselves as best they can in case of conflict situations.
I strongly advise against it if you don't want to ruin your vacation
