The small village of Malorechenskoye near Alushta has recently begun to develop as a full-fledged resort. But this does not mean that there are no fashionable places to relax. First, it is worth paying tribute to local entrepreneurs for the improvement of the Embankment and the beaches of the village. This work was done at their expense. Secondly, Malorechenskoye is actively positioned as an ECO-resort. Thirdly, for a super comfortable holiday there is a three-star hotel “Camelot”.
Location and history
It was built in 2012. According to the idea of the owners, the hotel is a stylized Camelot, but not the time of King Arthur, but its modern prototype. Chic rooms, a swimming pool, a bath complex, a chic restaurant and thirty-three more pleasures can be allowed for relatively little money for the South Coast. For guests on the beach there is a private area with sun loungers, canopies and parasols. From morning to late evening, every guest will find something to do on the territory of the hotel complex.
The distance to Simferopol Airport is 82 km, to the railway station – 68 km. The bus to Malorechenskoye departs from the bus station “Kurortnaya”. If there is no desire to go to the village with stops, the administration of “Camelot” kindly organizes a transfer. The driver will wait for the guest to arrive, even in case of flight delay. The service is paid.
Free outdoor parking is available for those who come by their own cars. It is guarded and is under video surveillance. The distance to the center of Alushta is 26 km, so it is not superfluous to have your own transport at hand. You can always go to the city for fun or take the children to the dolphinarium and zoo.
Pay attention! Rest with animals is prohibited. If the pet accompanies the owners on all trips, then you can stay in the cottage eco-village“Alpine Valley”,which, like “Camelot”, belongs to the same hotel chain “Continent”. For guests of the eco-complex, the entire infrastructure of the hotel is available.
“At first, when we arrived, we were a little disappointed in the location. The beach is a 7-minute walk away. No one suggested that there are two ways to it – one steep (which we chose out of ignorance), the other more convenient without sharp changes in height, but on the way towards traffic. Then we appreciated the comfort and service in the hotel and somehow everything smoothed out. This village has a great resort future. It is transformed just before our eyes. Every year, and we come here every season, something new comes along. It is very pleasant to relax in Camelot” Yaroslava, Russia
