The hotel itself is decent. The staff is polite and helpful. Good location. The room was a 2-room suite with a view of the sea and the local Eiffel Tower. The room is large with a gorgeous view. There are two buildings with two pools on the territory (one with fresh water and the other with sea water). The third building opens in June next year.
A huge disadvantage of the dining room. In general, this is a restaurant, but, unfortunately, the language will not turn to call it that. The food is monotonous, despite the fact that there are vegetables, meat, fish, side dishes, soups and porridges. Very few fruits. We thought we'd come, at least have a little fun. The food is cold. There is a microwave in the hall, but what queues there will be for it ...
the dishes are not washed, there are not enough cups. Two or three days just flew out of vacation because of the rotovirus. And everyone who comes gets sick. The dining room, upon request, gives out crackers if necessary. There is also a rice broth on the "Swedish" line.
Obviously, something needs to be done with the dining room. In addition, clean plates are displayed at the foot level of vacationers in niches. This is a separate song... (
The restaurant in the 1st building hotel is excellent, but this is for an additional fee. But it's very tasty. Thanks to the girls.
I liked the buildings of the hotel and the service themselves. The sea is clear.
They left a lot of money, but nutrition has now given rise to a phobia...

I really liked it. The rooms are clean and cozy, bed linen and towels are five. Everything you need is in the room, which is not available - at the first request, the staff will provide. A buffet breakfast was included. I liked the food - there are no negative consequences, in principle it tastes good. The furniture in the dining room is a little "tired". The heated freshwater pool is crystal clear, we did not swim with sea water - it was cool. We also visited the sauna - not bad, but the water in the pool in the spa complex is just icy, it hurts my bones. We were in March, we were lucky with the weather - the sun, the sea, the mountains - beauty! Very well maintained and beautiful surrounding area of the hotel and the first line. I recommend. But in the tourist season from May to October it is expensive. prices are reasonable in the off-season.

The hotel is good. The first coastline. You can see the sea from the balcony. You can watch the sunset in the evening. The entrance to the sea is not very convenient. Large pebbles, it is better to buy special slippers. Convenient location. Between the old and new Gagra. There are many cafes and shops nearby. But...one huge disadvantage is that everyone suffers from some kind of infection. There were 4 of us, and everyone got sick. 100% hit. And it's definitely not from the sea, because we were in October. We haven't bathed yet, but we started to get sick in turn. Moreover, the symptoms are all the same. First the stomach hurts, then vomiting, then fever. Unpleasant, of course. When out of 8 days of vacation, two at least fall out. And they also drain the sewage system into the sea. I don't know if it's Alex or another hotel, but that's for sure. When the sea smells like poop, I don't really want to swim. It's a pity, of course. If it weren't for these disadvantages, we would definitely come back again. Oh, I don't recommend it that way.

We had a vacation in July this year with a child.
Of the advantages:
1. Clean, well-groomed territory. 2. excellent room - we lived in the second building with a view of the mountains, the room is clean, good linen, changed every 3 days, has everything you need.
3. The first line, the sea is two steps away, there are sun beds and umbrellas on the beach, clear sea, and not so many people on the beach as in the center of Gagra.
4. 3 Swimming pools, one of them is for children.
5. There are a lot of shops, a pharmacy, cafes around.
6. At the reception, the staff responded very quickly to requests.
Of the cons:
1. Very monotonous food, (salted fish, coffee machine works only in the morning ((very limited selection of meat dishes ) almost the same thing every day, booking a hotel, given the not very small price and 3 meals a day, we expected to eat immeno at the hotel, but it turned out somehow not very well.
2. Rotovirus and poisoning did not bypass both me and the child, so we spent several days in the room instead of relaxing.
On a second visit to Abkhazia, I would choose a different hotel for the second time, but the nature, the sea and especially the sunsets here are simply unforgettable)

We had a rest in the middle of September. I liked the appearance of the hotel very much, the rooms are nice, clean. Cleaning every day, towels were changed regularly. I liked the food in the restaurant and the gorgeous view of the sea. There are sun beds and umbrellas on the beach. But, a stream flows straight through the beach from the sewer, the stench is very unpleasant and of course many people have caught rotavirus, including us. The rest was ruined. In the dining room, in this case, there is a decoction of chamomile, breadcrumbs and porridge on water. We had a wine tour and instead of a welcome glass of homemade wine, they poured us the 3rd part of a glass of some sour stuff. A liter of wine was promised to the room, and a bottle of sour wine was brought again only on the 3rd day and after reminders.

I'm staying at the Alex Hotel for the 3rd time.
Among the advantages: the location, the presence of two pools, in case of cold seas out of season. There is a sauna and an indoor pool, you can go to the spa and various treatments (for a fee)
The food is decent, and even if you are poisoned, there is a diet 👌🏽😌 this is generally well done)
During the off-season, they either do not give the room, or forget to give slippers and bathrobes, but at the first request, the maid will give you everything you need.
Of the cons: the rooms are of course already very outdated in terms of entourage, I would like to update this old hackneyed style.
But the presence of a large number of additional advantages and good service brings back regular tourists of Gagra)

Nice hotel, rooms are spacious and clean. The view from the window was on the construction site, which was not very pleasant, but it did not spoil the impression of the hotel!
We stopped by on May 9, got to a festive lunch with field porridge, tinctures. The staff was thematically dressed, which created a festive atmosphere!
The dining room has a non-heated swimming pool, in the second building it is heated but not very large, there are sun beds.
There was a buffet in the dining room, there were fresh fruits, and a coffee machine worked in the morning (but don't expect the coffee to be delicious). Overall, there was a good selection of dishes.
The hotel is located on the 1st coastline, 5 minutes to the sea, if you walk slowly! There are also sun beds on the beach, which is very convenient!

We were in July 2023. The hotel is generally good. On the seashore. With buffet meals. Wine at lunch. Its own beach with sun beds, respectively, there are not many people relatively. It was annoying that there was a big stone in the water that everyone had to swim around. And the whole family got sick with rotavirus, like many others in the hotel. But in Gagra, many people suffer from rotavirus. So it's probably not the hotel's fault, but the water quality.

Special thanks to the receptionist Diana Bgeo (sorry if I made a mistake in my last name), when leaving, I forgot my wife's phone in the lobby. They caught themselves after crossing the border. She called a taxi and sent it to the border, and there the taxi driver met and brought it to Adler railway station.

The hotel is super on average! Spa, hydrotherapy and massage, the food leaves much to be desired, we have already got used to it over the years, if you can't feed well, check in with breakfast, not half board or full board. On this visit, they did not even give discounts as usual for procedures and a card when a regular customer will grow on savings discounts?, and that it is generally not acceptable to bathe construction workers who build apartments on the territory of the hotel in the same pool with vacationers, it would be good if they behaved quietly, but they behaved very badly and noisy.

After the storm in November 2023, the hotel has already restored the embankment, while in the center of Gagra there is devastation in the direction of the market - renovation work is just underway. There are shops and cafes nearby. There were breakfasts on nutrition: porridge is different every day, boiled eggs, omelets, sausage, cheeses, meatballs, pancakes, 1 side dish changed (rice, pasta, buckwheat), salads (broccoli, seaweed, beetroot ...), there is a coffee machine.

As for the food in the restaurant, the mvngal did not work, and any over-dried and tasteless meat on the grill, large portions are a plus

I visited this hotel for the first time in 2018. I liked it so much that I recommended it to all my friends, and I came here again on 2.10.24. We booked a comfort room, but when we came to the room, it was standard with an additional one. the place (folding chair) to the question, where is the declared room (comfort), they said, it is. There was a sofa in the photo, it turns out that this was a misconception, the photo was simply stretched and the sofa turned out to be a sofa, Marina's manager was asked how the room differs from comfort and standard, they could not answer and could not show either.
The power supply was like this:cold pasta, eggs, omelette, sausages, porridges that looked like soups, butter was given, after a remark was made, vegetables were, persimmon fruits, apples,
For lunch, noodle soup, broth, and more fish or mushroom, vegetables, wings, there was a choice. baking is only for lunch.
The administrators are not very friendly, especially after asking how the rooms differ (they did not swear, they all calmly asked) The rooms were cleaned well, the most positive person was probably the one who worked in this hotel. Unfortunately, the name was not recognized.
I do not recommend this hotel! Or you can take a standard room without additional charges, but the food there has gone bad!!!

I liked the hotel. We lived in the 2nd building. The room is not large, but it has a balcony. Everything you need is there. Clear. The cleaning is good. 1.5 liter bottle of water every day. Bathrobes, beach towels, which is very convenient.
Pools +26, excellent. The sauna in the spa area is free of charge from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is also a pool +21.
There is almost no territory, but it is convenient that there is an exit to the embankment and immediately the beach.
Good breakfasts. it was possible to additionally order lunch and/or dinner, for whom it is relevant.
Excursions can be booked directly in the hotel lobby. Prices and choice are the same as everyone else's.

I liked the hotel itself externally and the rooms!The territory is top class!
It 's clean , they always clean up !the sea is clean , there are always free sunbeds, towels are given to the beach and changed!
they did not close the safe correctly-the security came and did it
That's it, the pros are over!
After checking into the room, there was a terrible smell from the air conditioner (to vomiting in the literal sense) - the problem has not been solved!they do not respond willingly to requests for a problem!they also asked the residents, the smell in all the rooms!
The toilet door was broken (it wouldn't close)- fixed it right away!
The food is monotonous, more canteen-like!
And the cherry on the cake is ROTOVIRUS on the third day of your stay!everyone suffers without exception, they asked all the residents!
For me personally, the heat is wild, there is no wind at all, it's humid, it gets dark at 19:00 and it doesn't get any easier outside!
It may be nothing, but still, because of the air conditioning, I would never come back here!it is unbearable to be in a room with intestines in such heat (the air conditioner does not smell wild, you immediately run to the toilet from the smell)
For that kind of money, of course, it's a capital

Good afternoon, potential vacationers of the Alex Resort & SPAHotel, who want to have a good rest and return home young, slim and beautiful. I visited there on the program *hunger* for 10 days, for the first time. I have not seen such professionalism from Natalia Viktorovna's doctor anywhere. A detailed lecture on what happens to the body in detail by day, what is the meaning of fasting, a huge benefit for the body. When leaving, there is again a lecture on how to get out of starvation and how to change your diet in order to always be young, slim and happy. Daily monitoring (tests, procedures), many pleasant, relaxing, supportive procedures for a weakened body. The day passed quickly and intensely. I will not write about the sea or the hotel. Everything is beautiful, clean, caring. Everyone is smiling, flexible change of procedure hours. There is a great massage therapist, a professional in his field, you leave him and feel like plasticine, flexible and light. You have understood that I advise everyone from the bottom of my heart.

There is nothing to do in the hotel without them. Of course, I was surprised by the river flowing into the sea, from the hotel there are sewage drains. The sea is certainly dirty, all kinds of decomposition are floating. Well, rotavirus did not bypass the whole family. So, whoever plans to go to Abkhazia, rotavirus is provided.

The hotel is located on the seashore, in the Novaya Gagra area. I liked everything from the reception desk to the last day of departure. We rested on relaxation, in the morning a delicious buffet breakfast (we were fed in the restaurant, it was out of season), then a sauna, a saltwater pool outside (the water is very comfortable) Exploring the city along the coast, the waterfront. The territory of the hotel is small, but beautiful and well maintained. The staff of the sanatorium is very friendly. Before the trip, I read a lot of negative reviews about rotovirus, but we were spared, and the neighbors lived peacefully. I will say this, wash your hands more often in a foreign country and do not take anything in your mouth, and you will be happy. I recommend the hotel, I remember my vacation with warmth 🫶🌞

Overall, not a bad hotel. The idea is not bad – spacious rooms, a SPA, warm pools, a mud spa. But the little things that make up the rest spoil the whole impression. There is practically no parking, even taxi drivers do not want to go on a call. The audibility in the rooms is such that it seems the whole hotel lives in one room. The discharge of sewage in the beach area gives a certain extreme and flavor to rest. The tour desk is a separate story, here you will be sold an excursion to non–existent attractions. We were sold an excursion to the trout farm, which is currently abandoned, the entrance is open to everyone, and empty tanks remain from the farm. Well, the cherry on the cake is a cheap divorce for a shortage of towels in the room when leaving the hotel. To carry out this divorce, a deposit is charged upon check-in. I repeat, in general, the hotel is not bad. Just not bad and that's it.

Но подкачал шведский стол, одна и та же еда, никакого разнообразия, а диет стол вообще бедные люди кроме брокколи и картошки варёной ничего больше, запах морской капусты за 14 дней доводит до рвоты, фрукты ужасные, выпечки мало, огурцы свежие порезаны как брёвна. Короче с голоду не умрёте, но за 14 дней кошмар, да и девочки,которые убирают со столов с такими лицами, как на каторге (недовольные лица без эмоций).Есть рядом кофе ля мар французское вот там отличная пицца, мидии и официанты приветливые. Очень хорошая детская анимация. Из-за шведского стола не поехала бы второй раз. Собственникам надо задуматься, так как проблема только в этом, да и депозит 3 тыс тоже странная тема, если путевка стоит 320 на троих(2 взрослых и ребёнок 5 лет), то какой депозит, смешно же.

I very rarely write reviews, but here I am overwhelmed with emotions. Well, as everyone writes clean rooms, yes, but there is one thing, but, for example, when we caught rotovirus and the child did not have time to run to the toilet, all this got on the carpet, when contacting the reception to call the maid to clean, we were told that we do not know when they will be able to come to you and what to clean it all is not they clarified that I had to clean with handy tools, since I, as a mother of babies, have wet wipes. Therefore, the cleanliness of the rooms is a big question. They also do not warn that in the case of rotovirus, all the bed and towels that you stain are additionally washed for each unit, they call it a non-standard dry cleaning, this surprise is recognized upon departure in fact. The beach is not fenced, anyone passes, not only the residents of the hotel, next to the beach, literally 100-200m away, a stream flows down, judging by the smell of not very clean sewage straight into the sea. There are no complaints about the dining room at all, the food is delicious, varied, I want to say a special thank you to the staff in the dining room, the guys with our sore, and my children are 3 and 5 years old, they gave jelly and crackers to the room, because the children were not even able to reach the dining room. The children's animators are also girls, young smart guys, the children were delighted. Our conclusion is that we will not go to this hotel anymore.

We had a rest in early July. The hotel itself is good, the rooms are cleaned every day, the territory is well maintained, I liked the food for the first 2 days, but on the second day the whole family contracted an intestinal infection, the rest was spoiled, they couldn't even look at this food. If you think that you will get carried away and will not get sick, then you are mistaken, everyone you talked to gets sick for 2-3 days, there is even a special table for rotovirus in the dining room, it is unlikely that anyone ate there.In the toilet, you can hear everyone who has diarrhea, but mostly vomiting. The wave-like disease, when they thought that everything had started again, treated the children at home in the infectious diseases department of the hospital. I will remember this horror for a long time.I'm not going there anymore. There is a terrible smell in the hotel corridor.

We are currently staying at the hotel. The second building has a view of the roof, the mountain and the construction site, but this is not a minus. When we booked, there was nothing globally better. Clean, cleaned, towels are changed, water is given. the room is comfortable. Restaurant: we only include breakfast, sometimes we go for lunch and dinner, paying extra. Basically, everything is there. I can't say that wow, it's delicious, but I'm not hungry. Two pools. I have never seen how they cleaned. We are not fans of swimming pools, we do not go there. There is a spa. But it is difficult to come to an agreement. They offer morning hours, which are not convenient for me. Services are generally an interesting topic. I haven't seen many positions before. On the third day, they got sick, managed to have one day of vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Everyone is sick, 100%. This is not a hotel or the sea. It's just the Black Sea coast in August. The beach is private, but it is not fenced. There is also a stinky river. There are similar rivers all along the Black Sea coast, so nothing unusual. There are always sun beds. In general, everything is fine. Dog lovers in Abkhazia will be uncomfortable. There are too many homeless people. It's just hard for me.

We came to this hotel to celebrate the new year 2024. This is not the first or second time in Abkhazia for the New Year, there is something to compare it with.
The rooms are clean, the staff is very helpful, the girls in the dining room and at the reception are great. Special thanks to them!!!
But the food leaves much to be desired. There is no choice at all, there are no fresh vegetables. Pollock fish with buckwheat is an "excellent" set or burnt liver!) Pickles and carrots in Korean for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tired!!!
Many wrote in the reviews that it is scarce, but you will not stay hungry. I agree with this, but on the 3rd day I already wanted to pack my suitcase and leave for Sochi. Christmas dinner in the photo) and this diet was monotonous all our 8 days. I often had nothing to feed the child.
I am disappointed that we came here and paid more than 100 thousand rubles for two people with a child.

Good day to all of you.
Last day at this hotel. I want to write a detailed and honest review about this hotel.
To begin with, the choice was between Europe 3* and Alex. I saw both of these hotels in Tiktok. The tour operator convinced me to take Alex.
I should immediately note that on the day of check-in we had a wedding anniversary, which the hotel was warned about in advance. Apart from the words from the administrator, they did not congratulate us in any way. Although the hotel is surrounded by roses and you could at least decorate the room and write an address greeting.
We arrived in Abkhazia for the 2nd time by car. We all understand about this holiday, but the 4.9 rating at the hotel convinced us to relax and spend the last week at sea, out of three, enjoy and relax in a buzz.
The room stock is not fresh, but everything is quite normal. Clean, neat. The mirror is a little old, the plumbing, the tiles are a little shabby. This happens when the hotel is fully loaded at the end of the season.
Every night there is a very strong smell of sewage.
Poor sound insulation, everything is audible from all sides. The doors slam like in a clinic from every draft.
We rested from 9.09-09/15/2024
We had time for dinner on the day of check-in. It's a simple meal, but it seems to have a choice, it's delicious. Two days later, the main choice did not change!!! The pastries are dry, the bread is dry, the wine is diluted and only at lunch! What would you understand the cost of a day for 3 is almost 13 thousand!!! There should always be wine and juices to choose from! This is a 4* hotel!
After 2 days, the food became generally tasteless. Mashed potatoes are water! We've just been hungry for the last 3 days! They told this to the beautiful Lily, who greeted the guests in the dining room. I apologized for everyone. Nothing has changed. We have a spa hotel, we cook without salt!!! The absurdity is complete.
Indeed, the main contingent was from 45 and older, but this is not a sanatorium - this is a hotel!!!!!
It's a very unpleasant impression.
For two cleanings, the plumbing and the bathroom with toilet have never been cleaned. The cleaners do not stop talking in the hallway from 6 a.m., and then from 15 to 17 they chatter in their own language in full voice when vacuuming the corridor. I woke up every day! At 7, garbage collection is under the window. The car hums under the window for 20 minutes. Of course, then there is no sleep.
We didn't go to the pool. They are there.
The playground is tiny, and the kids' club has never heard music or cartoons.
I went to the spa with my husband. It was fast. He's on a coupon, I'm on a fee. In 7 minutes, we made a pearl bath and a hydro massage. I've never had it done so fast before. Everyone back off.
There is no bar on the beach from the hotel with at least free water.
There are paid waters exactly twice as expensive.
The beach is clean, there were enough sunbeds. The guys were watching - well done.
The beach and the sea were wonderful for us in this place and saved us from longing and chagrin for the money spent! Naturally, we will not return to this hotel and will not recommend it to our relatives.

We rested near the hotel. Outside there is a very attractive, cozy, green area with a swimming pool and lots of palm trees and benches. It's a little expensive.

Хороший отель: удобное расположение - берег моря и не шумно, ежедневная уборка в номерах, белоснежное хрустящее постельное белье. Классные бассейны прямо на берегу моря, можно плавать в любое время года. Санаторно-курортное лечение и СПА делают отдых ещё прекраснее. Хамам и массаж обязательны к посещению, не упустите возможность. Кислородный коктейль в любое время. В салоне красоты трудятся прекрасные мастера, которые помогают всегда выглядеть отлично (маникюр и укладка просто супер!!!). Ресторан подводит: очень много сахара в каше, запеканках,компоте, Просто адски много сахара. Второсортные сыры и колбасы, сосиски, только восстановленное молоко. Из всего горячего съедобна только солянка по-абхазски. Мы всё перепробовали, всё поняли и ходили в заведения рядом, в шаговой доступности. Много мест, где можно очень вкусно и разнообразно поесть. Отдыхали в Алексе не раз, поедем ещё, потому, что отдых совмещать с восстанавливающими процедурами удобно, комфортный отель с оперативным, приветливым персоналом. Природа - восторг, всего в сорока минутах от аэропорта в Сочи.

Staff. Kind people, but sometimes rude.
Meal. A very small buffet, very small for a 4-star hotel.
Cockroaches are crawling around the bathroom. If you dirty the bed linen, you will have to pay 2000 rubles for it. The territory of the hotel is small, there is a bowling alley, there is a playroom for children where they are engaged. There are 2 swimming pools on site, with fresh and salt water.
You have to pay for all additional services (for mahito, for beer). The hotel has a restaurant with seafood.
There is a hammam (from which one name comes), there is just an ordinary Russian bath.
I would not recommend this hotel.

I very rarely write reviews, but it's just burned out! This is a horror, not a hotel. Let's start with the room, we were put in a room where the whole wall was covered in mold, and the whole palace was in terrible stains, there was a very specific smell of vomit in the room, when contacting the reception, they shrugged their shoulders, like there are no other rooms. With the scandal, I managed to move to another room only for 3 days. Next - rotavirus! ABSOLUTELY everyone suffers from it. Moreover, I was very amused by the response of the doctor who is sitting in the hotel that the main route of transmission is airborne, apparently the infection at the institute passed by, I write this because the doctor herself, yes, this path is possible, but not the main one. The main one is fecal-oral! There is not even 30 meters from the beach, where the river flows-a shit hole, an obvious discharge of sewage. Well, the cafe is a separate story. The food is disgusting, what was not eaten for breakfast, then it will go to lunch and so on. Flies fly in shoals. Around the hotel, in the evening, rats stroll leisurely, the size of kittens. If you want to throw away money and earn a bunch of sores, then you are here. Well, actually, it's better to stay away from this place!

Excellent SPA hotel on the Black Sea coast in Abkhazia, Gagra. Confirms its 4 stars. The accommodation includes: a varied breakfast (buffet), sauna, swimming pools. For an additional fee, a hammam, beauty spa treatments, etc. You can buy lunch or dinner. In the evening there are cultural events in the restaurant. You will not regret the time you spent there.

They decided to celebrate their son-in-law's birthday in Abkhazia. We chose a hotel for a long time and, after watching a bunch of videos, we chose Alex and I must say we were not mistaken. The location is very convenient, the sea is nearby. The hotel has everything at its disposal, starting with check-in, check-in, lunch and breakfast. Cleanliness, beauty, comfort and kind attitude of the staff. We arrived a little later, by 16 o'clock, and half an hour after checking in, they knocked on the room and congratulated the son-in-law on his birthday, handing him a cake on a huge, beautiful plate. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and there are even bathrobes. The view from the room is amazing. And about the restaurant, special thanks for the delicious, varied food for every taste to vegetarians, non-milk drinkers and omnivores. The choice is a large, beautifully decorated room. And everyone probably knows about friendliness and hospitality in Abkhazia. I really want to visit this place again.

The location of the hotel is wonderful, but there is probably a sewer nearby, the stench is terrible, and also, if your room opens onto a driveway, then you will find a dog barking in the early morning and late evening. I recommend taking medicines for rotavirus with you, because medicines in Abkhazia are very expensive. On the 2nd day, everyone gets sick, diarrhea and vomiting, high fever, terrible weakness, and in the so-called "restaurant", a typical dining room, you will find rice broth, jelly (they prepared very well), solid savings for the founders, because for 3 days you will definitely not be able to eat anything, and then -a strict diet. But the choice of food is disgusting, not tasty, not varied. From the good-beautiful nature, excellent sea views from some rooms, bathrobes, towels, slippers and shower accessories are available, room cleaning is daily.

Nice hotel. The rooms are very spacious, there is air conditioning, but in the evening there are discos nearby, it is impossible to sleep. There are problems with nutrition, food that was not eaten for breakfast is given for lunch and dinner, which is why it deteriorates. The hotel offers several free spa treatments.

We stayed in late March and early April 2024. A very cool hotel. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly welcomed at the reception. On my birthday, a cake with congratulations from the hotel was brought from the room, very nice) Cool clean outdoor heated swimming pool with sea view. You can swim and swim to the side and admire the sea!) The breakfasts are very hearty and varied. The staff at the hotel is very nice and friendly. The hotel itself is very comfortably located, it is convenient to go to some new place in the morning after breakfast.

Rotovirus or some kind of intestinal infection - we got sick of all 5 people. on the second day of your stay. everyone is sick. The hotel should be closed and washed in a good way. But I don't know. it will help or not, because maybe it's the runoff that runs everywhere along the coast of Abkhazia. What is in these drains is known only to those who drain something there. By the hotel. We had a suite in a new building. The room is good. That's where the advantages end. The beach is not private, everyone rests on it, only for tourists who do not take money from the hotel. The food in Hemingway is tasteless, monotonous. But at least they keep a table for rotoviruses (also tasteless). For the money we gave, we could have had a much better vacation in Turkey. There is no territory. It's not interesting around either. a street with various creepy kebab-shawarma and small stalls. There is nowhere to walk along the shoreline. It would be possible to tolerate everything except illness. I think it's about the quality of the sea water and just 100% contamination of the hotel.

The hotel is new, clean.. 2 swimming pools, bowling alley, SPA. There are even
A small promenade from the rotunda to the restaurant
It feels like a lot of effort and money has been spent. But unfortunately, the location of the hotel was very let down. The windows of the 1st building on the 1st side overlook the road (although it is small, but in the morning at 6 o'clock a garbage truck arrives and rumbles, spoiling the whole dream), and on the other side into the courtyard above the trash. A pack of stray dogs walks along the beach. At night they give under the windows, and during the day they lie down next to the sun loungers. But the worst thing is that our company of 6 people was sick all week. They explained to us that this is a rotovirus, which everyone is talking about. But!!! Right next to the hotel there are gutters that (especially after 24 hours) they stink terribly of sewage!!! As the locals explained to us, there is no SES service in the city!!! And I REALLY wanted to cancel the work of the tour desk at the hotel. We asked for a tour to the waterfalls for 6 people. They promised us, they took the money. But when we arrived, it turned out that we were going with other people. To our indignation, they replied that the tour for 6 costs other money. But it had to be said when we bought the tour. Why cheat? As a result, the trip to Abkhazia was a big disappointment. And nostalgia for the magnificent resort of the USSR times
