The customer service is excellent, there is no pretension here, but the prices are certainly too high in other respects, as well as the requirements for visitors. Being on the beach, a person cannot visit a cafe on the beach, this was a novelty for me. Comparing with other resorts where more attention is paid not to how a person is dressed, but to how much he is willing to spend.
The place is interesting, the reef is interesting, at least some kind of living creatures in the sea alone, but, sun beds 1000, house 5000, otherwise the beach does not differ from others in anything.
Awesome place! A picturesque rock, for those who like to observe the underwater world, is just a fairy tale. The sea is the purest! Take the sap, you won't regret it - a great location for a photo. When stepping on a rock, you need to be very careful not to cut yourself. You can swim to the cliff yourself - not far from the shore.
This reef is a favorite place for snorkeling in Abkhazia. I first discovered it in 2010, when there were more rapans and crabs. Now that there are more tourists and all sorts of saps have appeared, only mussels remain on the rocks. But still, the underwater world is very interesting to watch: there are 3-4 species of fish swimming here, it happens that you get on large schools of fish.
A memorable place, beautiful. As a child (in the 80s), my brother almost got stuck underwater in a cave there. Be careful.
Previously, this coast looked better - there were no unnecessary campsites, etc.
If people came for a long time, they just came with tents.
Yes, nostalgia for what used to be here... Even now in 2022.
Great! Come here! You won't regret it! The beach is in constant development... There were just primitive palm sheds.. Now we have made two-storey solariums, it is convenient and beautiful

The rock is interesting, although everything that can be torn from it from the living creatures has already been torn off..
It's a very curious place. Quite by chance, in 2012-2013, we learned that there are reefs not far from the coast, which actually form this rock. From the shore, you can safely swim there without even having special skills (for the first time I swam there with an inflatable pillow) and after swimming, take a spectacular photo from the shore, as a person stands on the water. An interesting place.
The quality of service in the 90s, the prices of service have become higher than Sochi! By the way, due to the influx of tourists, the sea is as dirty as on our coast! In short, the trip upset me

Well, this is the best place to spend time on the beaches of Pitsunda and Ldzaa! Not Egypt, but it's still interesting. There is a cave in the far left reef of the weasels at a depth of 2-3 meters. I do not recommend it without training
The only underwater reef in Abkhazia that I found. large underwater rocks, fish of different colors and sizes, rapana, vegetation.
a great place for snorkeling

On the outskirts of Pitsunda, there is a dilapidated Soviet-era fish factory. It has been abandoned for a long time because it is not profitable, so many fish are not caught here to pay off the work of an entire plant. It was built then "for show", and to demonstrate the full load, tons of fish were brought almost from the Far East.
Now "fish factory" is the name of the area of Pitsunda, which is famous for its beach. The beach is called "golden" and for good reason - it is almost all sandy, unlike the rest of the coast, strewn with pebbles. True, this sand is also small broken pebbles, but who cares about that.
But the main highlight of the "Golden Beach" is an underwater reef a hundred meters from the shore. You can swim to it and walk on its surface knee-deep in water. Be sure to bring a mask or goggles for swimming, because even at shallow depths you can see amazing pictures of the underwater world - the stone slopes and crevices of the reef are overgrown with algae and colonies of mussels, rapans and small crabs are found, and how many fish are circling around!
By the way, mussels can be harvested and cooked, which is often what the vacationers of the resort do. It turns out to be quite a delicacy. By the end of the season, it is not easy to find large mussels, all have already been eaten, but there are many smaller ones, so you will not stay without lunch!
This stone is the highlight of the Captain Black Hotel beach. They floundered around him for several hours. By the way, the hotel itself is very good. Not an advertisement, just an opinion)
A great place, lots of mussels, rapans and all kinds of fish, you can just swim with a mask and snorkel - everything will be perfectly visible. The beauty is real
