Review. Vladimir Aquarius, Moscow. The Migratory Birds Hotel was chosen by my wife. In principle, successfully. We, a young active couple, spent almost the whole day somewhere outside the hotel: on the beach or in the city. Twice went to Yalta. It’s simple here. Everything is almost there. Moreover, Alupka is part of Greater Yalta. What I liked most about the hotel was the courtyard pool and table tennis. My wife lacked a spa. But it’s not critical. There were no procedures. But a lot of sunbathing on the beach. To the sea, by the way, not far. You need to go between houses on the road. Travel time – no more than 5 minutes. Everything you need to relax on the beach can be obtained at the reception. Breakfast was served at the Migratory Birds Hotel. Everything is fresh and delicious. Lunch and dinner in different places in Alupka and Yalta. Five days of vacation flew by, as usual on vacation, very quickly. Impressions are only positive.
