Why Crimea in the coming years will not become a tourist mecca

Will not, friends, will not!

You can now tear your shirt on your chest, throw tomatoes at me and blame me for the “wrong” position regarding Crimea.

Moreover, the reason is simple and obvious: service, quality and price.

In Crimea, these are not interdependent categories, but a kind of local Swan, Cancer and Pike: each has its own life, each lives on its own.

The high price does not always correspond to the level of service and quality (whether it is a hotel or a restaurant), the quality of a lot of things on the peninsula leaves much to be desired, but service is a parable in languages. Many have not even heard of him.

I will show you an example of one hotel. Dear hotel in the Crimea! Even locals love to visit it for the weekend ...

It is called Respect Hall Resort & Spa, has 4 stars and is located 20 km from Yalta in the village of Koreiz.

And now attention to the photo. This is a bathroom not a worker-peasant hotel in Uryupinsk. This is a bathroom of a room for 9280 rubles in a 4 star hotel !!!

Class? But that's not all ...)

... but in order.

I book through booking.com the last number for 9280 and after an hour and a half I get a call asking about the estimated time of arrival. So far, everything is great.

The next day I come to check into a hotel and they offer me to pay for the room ... 11,600 rubles.

“Sorry, but Bucking ...”

- Yes, we see the reservation through Booking, but we see the price of 11,600.

- Here is a confirmation letter ...

- Wait a minute, I need to call.

After a conversation with the leadership, I was populated for 9280 and issued ... a key. Not a card, but a key. I haven’t used these for a long time, except in the old French mansion hotels.

But the room is not at all like in those mansions, but although huge and spacious, it’s sooooo simple.

So to speak, classic renovation. Painted plain walls, minimal, simple furniture, and telly. All. There is not even a telephone for communication with the reception.

But there is 70 square meters of incomprehensible why and the kitchen with a small dining table.

Probably, it is assumed that a person who has settled in a room for almost 10 thousand rubles will be cooking something here?

However, if he wants to cook, dishes and pans, apparently, you need to bring with you. There is nothing at all except two cups and saucers and two glasses. By the way, there are no teaspoons either.

The refrigerator (apparently a minibar) is empty.

Question. Why is this kitchen area here, where for sure no one has ever prepared anything in the last 5 years?

Why is this empty room 70 square meters? To echo walk?

But from the balcony of my 8th floor there is a beautiful view of Koreiz and the sea ...

Below the pool and lawn.

Oh, but there is no lawn this year.

Separate history of amenities in the room.

Awesome bathroom you have already seen in the header photo. Agree, far from the level of 4 stars)

He turned on the TV ... After 5 minutes he turned it off. There is no desire to watch a weak signal with a slight hiss.

And you can’t call the reception, there’s no phone ...

I wanted to lower it by elevator, went out into the corridor, and there ... darkness, even though my eye was poked out. Not a single lamp is working.

He asked at the reception, perhaps this is an additional option of their hotel. They answered that no, and in the morning everything will be eliminated. Well, at least during the day it will be safe to walk)

In the morning, another global shortcoming of the hotel was revealed.

The breakfast restaurant is located in a separate building.

And it should happen that all morning a nasty cold rain poured over the South Coast ... In general, I took the trip to breakfast and waiting for the elevator to the 2nd floor in the rain as an appetite. But the girl in the photo was no longer so enthusiastic as I)

Breakfast ... Breakfast in Crimean hotels is a disaster. Poor thing, as if there was a shortage of food in the country. For 4 stars, this is not at all good. Coffee or tea should not only be ordered separately at the bar, but also go after them yourself. No question, let’s go ... But for 10,000 rubles a day this is also not good.

Well, when I returned to my room from breakfast, I found an oil painting in the corridor. All the lights from the ceiling pulled out to replace the lamps.

This is how much time they did not change, if absolutely all the lamps burn out ???

In general, taking into account all these shortcomings, I believe that the hotel room is not worth the declared money. And in general, everything here is somehow inconvenient, ill-conceived ... Not so it should be in 4-star hotels. Not so should be hotels in a place that claims to become a tourist mecca of Russia.
