Contrary to the prevailing stereotypes, I want to saythat on the Black Sea coast of Russia you can have a good rest - the main thing is to determine the resort and the hotel. In recent years, the infrastructure of Russian seaside resorts has undergone a number of significant changes: new hotels have been built up, many new entertainments have appeared, all beaches are now equipped with rescue centers, changing rooms and even showers, which makes them as comfortable as possible. Russian resorts are increasingly choosing for themselves families with small children who are not ready for long and tiring flights. Rest on the territory of Russia allows you to independently decide how you will get to the resort, where to live, how you organize your leisure time. Accordingly, it is possible to save.
Lazarevskoye is a great resort on the Black Sea, whereneither children nor adults will be bored. We offer a closer look at it, if you plan your trip in the summer. There are enough luxury hotels, there are more democratic options, tourists with limited means can stay in the private sector. Guest house "Salang" (Lazarevskoe) managed to collect a huge amount of negative and sometimes terrifying reviews. What living conditions can it offer? Why did modern tourists dislike him so much?
About the guest house
Итак, гостевой дом "Саланг" (Лазаревское) located in the resort village near the main attractions - water park and dolphinarium. In walking distance there is a good beach, central for the resort - "Azure". This option attracts potential tourists and vacationers with a good location and, most importantly, affordable prices for accommodation. The hotel is really well located: shops, market, attractions, entertainment and, most importantly, the beach, are literally within walking distance.
Accommodation
Hotel "Salang" (Guest house 1 *, Lazarevskoe) is small, only 36 rooms. Tourists are invited to choose rooms of different categories:
- "Standard" - rooms are designed for two and three people.
- “Superior” is a room for four people.
- "Suite" - a two-room suite overlooking the coast.
Settling occurs rather quickly, butvacationers advise potential tourists to the hotel "Salang" (Sochi, Lazarevskoye) to be extremely attentive. Quite often, the staff populates tourists in the first room that may not fit the description and what the tourist expects. Of course, hardly anyone wants to spoil their vacation on the first day, but the staff in any case should accommodate guests in the hotel that they booked and prepaid. That is why you should be extremely persistent and ask to populate you in the number that you managed to pay.
Rooms
Трудно ждать от отеля, не имеющего никакой categories, something surprising and special. Of course, going to the sea, we do not plan to spend at the hotel, in the room in particular, a lot of time, we are interested in the sea, the beach and the resort infrastructure. Nevertheless, every tourist wants to get even a small but clean cozy room in a quiet area, equipped with a private bathroom with hot water and all the necessary bath accessories. What vacationers can offer guest house "Salang" (Lazarevskoe)?
The rooms are quite small and simple in their own way.arrangement. If you are used to relaxing in luxury Turkish hotels with a huge adjacent territory, you will experience complete disappointment from what you see. All that is in the rooms - TV, mini fridge, old air conditioner and bathroom. “Salang” (a hotel in Lazarevskoye), unfortunately, cannot be called an excellent option for accommodation, especially in the case of small children. The equipment is not just old, but very old, in some rooms the air conditioner simply does not work, the visit of a visiting expert does not save the situation. Having a rest it is necessary to spend the night and have a rest in the conditions of a stifling heat.
Furniture - minimal, for a family of threeonly one nightstand stands out. It’s good that there are enough beds, but no one has heard of comfort here. The wardrobe for clothes has obviously survived quite a few guests, so many vacationers do not risk putting their belongings in it, they are stored in a suitcase. If you are counting on a modern interior, a new redecoration, the Salang Hotel (Lazarevskoye) is definitely not suitable for you. Guest reviews emphasize that the rooms have not been repaired for a long time, in some places wallpaper leaves the walls intact, the furniture is old, cracked, and the state of plumbing leaves much to be desired. Now for the bathroom. It is simply impossible to wash here without shoes, tourists will not see a set of towels - at best they will give one towel in spots and holes for the whole family.
Большинство номеров выходят на стену соседнего buildings, hope for a beautiful view from the window and the opportunity to enjoy the sound of the surf is certainly not worth it. By the way, the balcony is common for all vacationers of the hotel "Salang" (Lazarevskoye), divided into small areas by non-essential partitions.
Hotel Infrastructure
There is a small shop on site,where you can purchase a minimum set of products. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are held in a small dining room, and settling in the rooms - at the reception at the entrance to "Salang" Guesthouse 1 * (Lazarevskoe).
All holidaymakers can spend time in the sauna,take a steam bath in a great company. From entertainment, the hotel can offer only table tennis and sports equipment rental. This is actually not necessary, because on the beach there is enough entertainment for every taste.
Food
For an additional fee you can purchasethree meals a day at the hotel. If you trust the reviews of real travelers, the state of the products leaves much to be desired. One gets the complete feeling that tourists are fed with stale products, and they cook absolutely no tasty food. Here you will never see fresh bread, pastries, aromatic coffee and even more fruit. Definitely not worth taking food, it is better to eat in local cafes and restaurants - there are plenty of them.
Service
The front desk is open around the clock, allvacationers can contact the staff on any question of their interest. Salang is a hotel in Lazarevskoy, which offers good service. For an additional fee, you can order a transfer to the airport or train station. At the reception you can get acquainted with a rich excursion program of the resort, choose for yourself something optimal. For example, almost all tourists do not deny themselves the pleasure and go on a jeeping - entertainment, full drive, risk and unforgettable emotions.
Теперь что касается обслуживания в номерах отеля Salang (Sochi, Lazarevskoye). Many tourists describe the horror that they see in the room during the settlement. One gets the complete feeling that no one is cleaning the rooms after the guests have gone away, and certainly not preparing them for a new race, which is simply outrageous. No one cleans the number on schedule. Moreover, travelers will have to "catch" the cleaners and ask them to clean up the room.
The hotel has wireless internet, but not worth itflatter yourself about the speed of the signal: it is barely enough to exchange messages on social networks. It is foolish to expect that as a tourist you will get access to the Internet in your room - you will have to go to the information desk on the first floor of the hotel, and try to catch the signal right there.
Sea and beach
10 minutes walk from the hotel is the beach, herethere are no complaints about it: cleanliness, developed infrastructure, gentle entry into the water. In the season, of course, there are a lot of tourists, but you can always find a more secluded place, if you walk along the coast.
Summing up
Отель "Саланг" 1* (Россия, Лазаревское) точно не suitable for tourists and vacationers who are counting on excellent service, room service, as well as comfort. The hotel is barely suitable for an overnight stay, and with varying success. You should not overpay for food, it is better to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in local cafes and restaurants. Do not choose this hotel for families with young children: poor sanitation, dirt and not the best living conditions just do not suit you.
