Valery Dorofeev, Volgograd. Rested with his wife in the Crimea for the first time. We chose Simeiz because of its picturesque views, silence, remoteness from noisy cities. Calm green village. In the park-hotel “Simeiz” we stayed in a standard room. Cozy, everything at hand. The service was pleased. The move-in went very quickly. There are no complaints about the staff. Everyone is friendly, empathetic, unobtrusive. The latter, by the way, is important. What I didn’t like was the lack of parking. While we were staying in the hotel, the car was left near the hotel. Everything, in general, was done. But I would like the administration in the future to take care of its own parking. Breakfast was served in the café of the park-hotel “Simeiz”. The dishes are simple and delicious. But the most impressive are the views from the terrace: the endless sea, changing color, and unusual in shape rocks. The location of the hotel is excellent.
