Crimea hotels by the sea

Closer and closer time for vacations. Soon the children will end the school year. But now it is worth thinking about how to relax all family members, restore the health, wasted over the year, and gain strength for new achievements and achievements. As one of the outbound recreation options, be sure to pay attention to the Crimean peninsula. With the commissioning of the Crimean bridge, getting there has become much easier. And the amazing nature, sea, mountains, air, a huge number of attractions just beckon to come to the Crimea. For many, this is a great alternative to overseas travel or leisure in the Krasnodar Territory. And that means it's time to take care of the place of rest. Today we will introduce you to the various options for living on the coast of Crimea: hotels of 3-5 stars, private mini-hotels. And also we will tell where it is better to have a rest with children.

If you are looking for a hotel via the Internet, you need to know that hotels have their own classification. Often it is indicated in the title itself. Therefore, when meeting this information, it will be easier for you to understand whether you need to spend time watching.

• Aparthotels - this accommodation in rooms from several rooms with a kitchenette. Very often - with a separate entrance. It is convenient to take large families with young children who need to cook and warm up baby food on time.

• Boutique hotels differ in refinement and originality. They may be small, but aesthetically appealing. Most likely, this will affect the price towards its increase.

• Guest houses - These are private mini-hotels, where most of the work with the guests is carried out by the owners themselves. The peculiarity is the soulful atmosphere, home cooking, a cozy courtyard. You will be waiting for the standard rooms with all the amenities (or a bathroom on the floor) for affordable money.

• Club Hotel - This is an elite rest for a closed audience. There is a large area with its own beach, well-trained staff and prices. Vacationers appreciate privacy.

• Resort Hotel (Resort) - This is a fairly autonomous place where you can not only walk through beautifully landscaped grounds, but also sunbathe on the terrace or by the outdoor pool, play sports on the courts and sports fields, relax in bars and restaurants.

• Spa hotel - This is a place to care for your own body. This is a kind of sanatorium, but only in terms of cosmetology. Such complexes have a well-developed infrastructure and an excellent range of services: beauty salon, treatment room, massages, gym, physiotherapy, balneotherapy.

Determining the type of hotel you want, you should pay attention to the following factors.

• Remoteness from the sea. Many choose accommodation with sea views. And not just with a view, but so that the sea was within walking distance. When choosing a beach holiday hotels on the coastline in priority. When booking a hotel on sites you can find information like "6 minutes walk to the sea" or "hotel on the first line". Such accommodation has a significant disadvantage: if the area is not closed, then the coast will always be noisy, because resort life is in full swing all day and night.

• The presence of a pool. Since many people choose to go on vacation not only in summer, the presence of the pool compensates for the inability to swim in the sea. In the description you should pay attention to the size of the pool, depth, heating, as well as clarify whether it is included in the price of accommodation or is a separate service. Having a pool is very important for families with children.

• A set of amenities and services. Carefully look at the description of the room on the subject of what it has: beds, extra beds (which are cheaper), shower or bath; are bath amenities provided; how often they will clean the room and change the bed linen; is there a kettle, hairdryer, dishes, wi-fi, refrigerator, air conditioning, balcony. It is important to clarify whether there is a transfer, parking, children's room, animators for children.

• Payment. Not all hotels and mini-hotels in Crimea work with bank transfer. Usually, guest houses are asked to transfer an advance payment, and upon arrival you will need to pay in cash. If booking is carried out through services, then the booking conditions will be indicated here.

• Reviews and rating. Thanks to the reservation systems, we will find out the real reviews of the guests, what the rating is made of. From the reviews you can learn a lot of important nuances that the hotel does not indicate. For example, the hotel does not have an elevator, and you will have to go down the steep stairs to the sea. Try to read as many reviews as possible, but remember that there are always dissatisfied with everyone and everything or extremely enthusiastic.

• Nutrition. Those who do not want to stand at the stove also on vacation, choose hotels with meals or use the services of the nearest cafes. When booking, be sure to pay attention to the following information.

• OB, RO, AO - according to the selected tariff, no meals are provided;

• BB - continental or buffet breakfast;

• HB - half board, that is, the room rate includes two meals;

• HB + - alcoholic drinks are added to half board;

• Fb - three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner);

• FB + - local alcoholic drinks are added throughout the day;

• Al (All Inclusive) - “all inclusive” (first and second breakfasts, snacks, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, local alcohol and water / juice);

• UAl (Ultra All Inclusive) - to the previous type, imported drinks are added in any quantity (with and without alcohol).

All-inclusive hotels by definition cannot be cheap. But if you are willing to pay, then It is worth paying attention to the hotel complexes located on the South Coast of Crimea (SCC). There has always been the most expensive leisure and entertainment. But on this section of the Black Sea coast you can choose both expensive hotels and more modest ones, although All Inclusive is present both there and there.

The Crimean Breeze Residence is a 5 * hotel in Parkovy. Guests rate the rest here at 9 points out of 10. The complex is located at some distance from the coastline, but it has all the services for a luxurious holiday, including several outdoor pools with sea water. You can stay in hotel rooms and villas. Spa-salon, sports court, summer terrace, kids club, own wine cellar - this is not a complete list of services offered.

1001 Noch Hotel is also located in Big Yalta, but in Koreiz. Very convenient location for visiting the sights of the South Coast. From the name of the hotel it is clear that it is distinguished by the theme of the east in everything: the design of rooms and recreation areas, the kitchen. The price includes: meals in the "buffet" system, beer and fresh, different types of baths, use of the pools and gym, children's playground.

Ecohotels are a new trend. Levant is a Yalta hotel of this direction. Here they care not only about the environment, but also about the health of their guests. The hotel can live on the system All Inclusive. The hotel is located on the first line, so from the panoramic windows, guests can watch the sea.

Resort club "Dacha" - This is an interesting option for accommodation in 20 Alushta new country houses. There is no pathos here, but there is a fruit garden, swimming pools, excellent cuisine, children's and sports grounds, and animators. And all this in a closed area, where you can hear the birds singing. But going out of the gate you can immediately plunge into the city life of Alushta.

Hotel Soldaya Grand Hotel & Resort is located in Sudakbut resembles an old Italian manor. Sudak belongs to the South Coast, but is located in the southeastern part of the Black Sea coast. From the hotel to the sea 300 m, but there is also a swimming pool, as well as spa-procedures.

On the entire coast of the southern coast of Crimea, there is simply a huge number of hotels with an “all inclusive” system, but such a service can be obtained for a lower price on the east or west coast. In Koktebel is the best complex in the Crimea according to the international site reviews TripAdvisor CLUB-hotel LEXX (LEX). The hotel offers buffet meals. On the territory there are massage rooms and hammam, the largest swimming pool on the coast and the lounge area Punto G with a hookah.

In Feodosia, on the first coastline is located the three-star Atlantic, which has its own beach, swimming pool, sauna complex, spa-center, billiard room. And here you can come with animals.

And there is a completely different rest in the Crimea - on the cleanest sandy beaches, away from the hustle and bustle - on the west coast of the peninsula. For example, in Popovka is a mini-hotel "Santurina". On the day of arrival you will be presented with a bottle of Crimean wine and local mineral water. Despite the fact that there is an “all inclusive” system, everything is cozy at home: the kitchen, swimming pool, sauna, animators for children and adults, and a playground. But at the same time clean air, because it is far from popular tourist places.

Evpatoria is Popovka’s neighbor, but the atmosphere here is quite different: The city is a large children's resort with sandy beaches, a water park, a dolphinarium and other pleasures. Hotel "Liana" is perfect for family holidays.

Sevastopol is an expensive city, comparable to Yalta. But there is something to see, so many are willing to pay for bread and circuses. The stunningly beautiful and functional Aquamarine complex is able to satisfy the most demanding customers. It offers comfortable accommodation, different food systems, beauty services, use of the sauna complex, yacht rental, 3 pools, its own water park, its own beach, medical center, several restaurants.

But this is not all that Crimea can offer: On the Azov coast, too, there are hotels "all inclusive". For example, the hotel "Riga" near the reserve Kazantip. The Sea of ​​Azov is much warmer, so they love to carry small children here. And the prices are much lower. You can expect full board, children's menu, animators, an equipped beach with lifeguards, a petting zoo, a swimming pool, a bath complex and other services.

For many, the concept of "all inclusive" is a symbol of freebies. But this is far from the case. After all, even if the guest does not use the service, he still pays for it. Therefore, it is much cheaper (and healthier in terms of nutrition) to rest without All Inclusive.

On the Crimean peninsula, you can find a large number of proposals of economy class. But in different parts of the Crimea "inexpensive" is a different money. For example, there are practically no hotels and attractions on the west coast. There everything is created for a quiet, relaxing beach holiday. Therefore, housing is inexpensive. And it is incomparable with the budget prices of Yalta or Sevastopol. Here, the cheapest options will seem very expensive, but close by are all the most beautiful places in Crimea, and life beats a fountain.

Starting a budget trip is worth it from the west coast. In Zaozernoye, holidaymakers mark mini-hotels Almaz, Lighthouse Light, Diana. Since the town is small, the sea is always nearby.

In Evpatoria (the most popular city in the West) you should pay attention to the SeaLand and Planet resorts. There are beautiful beaches with a smooth entrance to the sea. There are playgrounds and animators. Planet has its own heated swimming pool, but the hotel is far away from the sea.

In the city of Saki you can find both expensive (at local prices) and cheaper housing. Hotel "Elite" with luxury rooms is located almost on the beach. “Kvitka” is a very beautiful mini-hotel near the beach of an average price category. A "Voyage" - budget rooms for the undemanding vacationer, with all the amenities, 50 meters from the sea.

"Golden Fish" - a new hotel in the Coastal, which is located almost on the beach. Near the water park "Banana Republic", you can go to Evpatoria and Saki, it is very close. Pension "Southern" (Nikolaevka) is located in a park area. There is a children's club, rope park, animators.

Also for a quiet budget holiday with beautiful beaches should go to Storm, Popovka, Mirny, Black Sea, Mezhvodnoe. Everywhere guests waiting for a warm welcome and good conditions.

In the juniper grove of the village of Novy Svet there is a tourist - health complex (TOK). It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a fourth sea with a sandy-pebble beach. In Sudak, you should pay attention to the TC "Horizon", "Sudak", pension "Star". "Horizon" and "Star" are not on the first line, and therefore are cheaper. "Sudak" is a huge territory in a park area on the very sea shore. There are many buildings, a huge selection of services. There is a beach and a pump room with mineral waters.

In the resort is interesting pension "Crimean Primorye", which is located next to the extinct volcano Kara-Dag. Here guests are placed in wooden houses: quiet and calm, the beach is within walking distance. Koktebel offers a lot of leisure options: in guest houses, hotel complexes, TOK and TOSK. It is worth paying attention to the "Primorye": TOSK is very much appreciated by tourists. It has everything for a full stay and recreation, and a water park is working nearby. Pension "Blue Bay" is located on the coastline. This place is loved by jazz lovers - annual festivals take place here. The pension has its own swimming pool and playground for children’s games.

In Feodosia it will be interesting to those who love entertainment. The embankment is saturated with kebab, shawarma and coffee aromas. Music and light music delight visitors of nightlife almost all day and night. Tourists recommend to pay attention to the guest house "Kairos Yacht Club", which is located directly on the beach.

On the South Coast also can find relatively inexpensive housing. It will save if the hotel is located not on the first, but on the second line. Big Alushta is famous for its resorts and sanatoriums. But there is another type of housing. You can choose any option:

• “Eco Village” - houses, cottages and buildings on the seashore, away from the hustle and bustle;
• in Alushta, the Fairy Tale Hotel is considered one of the best for family holidays; there is a heated swimming pool and its own pebble beach;
• "Fiesta" - a new low-cost hotel 10 minutes from the sea;
• Theodora is a private mini-holiday hotel in the central part of the city.

In Big Yalta, pay attention to the House of Voronin in the eco-style or pension "Ay-Todor-South" (Gaspra). This is a beautiful place and a varied holiday. Prices are reduced due to some distance from the sea.In Alupka, guests liked the small hotel "Summer Courtyard" - a cozy place with all the amenities and affordable prices. To the center - 200 m, to the Vorontsov Palace - 5 minutes walk, to the sea - 10 minutes.

Of those hotels that have already been named, many are designed for families with children. Here are some more suggestions.

• In the seasonal pension "Dawn" (Yalta) You can relax with children from 4 years. Guests are offered economy-class cottages, 3 meals a day, playgrounds and water attractions. Dolphin city beach is 450 m.
• In Gurzuf It is worth staying at a small private hotel in the Oriental style "Merry Hotey". For children there are water rides, you can swim in the outdoor heated pool or sunbathe on the small-pebble beach 100 meters from the hotel.
• On the west coast there is a cozy family pension "At Lukomorye" (Peschanoe). Children accept any age. The territory is guarded, there is a mini-pool with a water slide, a playground is equipped.
• In Zaozernoye Hotel Prometey plus BB is suitable for budget holidays. Beautiful sea, wonderful beach, well-groomed territory, outdoor pool, playground. And in 15 km - Evpatoria with its entertainment, including a dolphinarium and water park.
