E.K. writes a review: “stayed for 4 days. Quiet and peaceful place. That’s what my wife and I were looking for. We took a superior room – everything you need for living is there. Large well-groomed area. There is nothing outside it except a mosque. Even the store was searched and not found. Breakfast is a celebration of the belly. We went for a massage, were satisfied. It was not eclust to swim because of the strong wind. We recommend it to those who are looking for a quiet and secluded holiday.”

Evgeniy Mughik writes a review: “It is cozy, beautiful and quiet. There is everything for living and relaxing holidays. The only sandy beach (with small pebbles) in the area. Nearby flows the river Belbek. There is useful clay. You can catch fish on a fishing rod: horse mackerel, mullet, perch, sargan, herring, ruff. But to rest here is very expensive by Russian standards. Because of this, the hotel (residence) is not crowded.”

Andrew Gl writes a review: “Not a bad hotel. We rented a room – spacious, bright, beautiful and a little tired of time, but the hand does not rise badly to write. The beach is also good, sun beds are included in the room rate. Parking is there, but under the scorching sun. We ordered tapak chickens in the restaurant, brought carcasses by a kilogram – they could not eat. Staff and service for four, not VIP-service. The staff is entirely local. Without a personal car, it’s hard here – no shops, no entertainment. Everything is in Sevastopol.”
