Crimea hotels by the sea
The time for vacations is getting closer and closer. The school year will end soon. But already now it is worth thinking about how to rest for all family members, restore health that was wasted in a year, and gain strength for new achievements and achievements. As one of the options for outdoor recreation, be sure to pay attention to the Crimean Peninsula. With the commissioning of the Crimean bridge, getting there has become much easier. And the stunning nature, sea, mountains, air, a huge number of attractions just beckon to come to Crimea. For many, this is a great alternative to foreign travel or vacation in the Krasnodar Territory. And that means it's time to take care of the resting place. Today we will introduce you to various options for accommodation on the Crimean coast: 3-5 star hotels, private mini-hotels. We will also tell you where it is better to relax with children.
How to choose?
If you are looking for a hotel via the Internet, then you need to know that hotels have their own classification. Often it is indicated in the name itself. Therefore, when you come across this information, it will be easier for you to understand whether you need to spend time watching.
- Aparthotels - this is accommodation in rooms from several rooms with a kitchenette. Very often - with a separate entrance. It is convenient to shoot for large families with small children who need to cook food and warm up baby food on time.
- Boutique hotels are distinguished by sophistication and originality. They can be small but aesthetically pleasing. Most likely, this will affect the price upward.
- Guest houses - these are private mini-hotels, where most of the work with guests is carried out by the owners themselves. The peculiarity is the sincere atmosphere, home cooking, and a cozy courtyard.Standard rooms with all conveniences (or a bathroom on the floor) will be waiting for you for affordable money.
- Club hotel Is an elite vacation for a closed audience. There is a large area with its own beach, well-trained staff and appropriate prices. Vacationers value privacy.
- Resort hotel (resort) - this is a fairly autonomous place where you can not only walk through the beautifully manicured territory, but also sunbathe on the terrace or by the outdoor pool, play sports on courts and sports grounds, relax in bars and restaurants.
- Spa hotel Is a place to take care of your own body. This is a kind of sanatorium, but exclusively in terms of cosmetology. Such complexes have a well-developed infrastructure and an excellent range of services: a beauty salon, a treatment room, massages, a gym, physiotherapy, balneotherapy.
Having determined the type of hotel you want, you should pay attention to the following factors.
- Distance from the sea. Many people choose accommodation with a sea view. And not just with a view, but so that the sea is within walking distance. When choosing a beach holiday, hotels on the coastline are a priority. When booking a hotel on the sites, you can find information such as "to the sea 6 minutes on foot" or "hotel on the first line." This accommodation has a significant disadvantage: if the territory is not closed, then the coast will always be noisy, because the resort life is in full swing around the clock.
- The presence of a pool. Since many go on vacation not only in summer, the presence of a pool compensates for the inability to swim in the sea. In the description, it is worth paying attention to the size of the pool, depth, heating, and also to clarify whether its use is included in the price of living or is it a separate service. The pool is very important for families with children.
- A set of amenities and services. Take a close look at the room description for what it contains: beds, extra beds (which are cheaper), shower or bath; are bath accessories provided; how often the room will be cleaned and bed linen changed; is there a kettle, hairdryer, dishes, wi-fi, refrigerator, air conditioner, balcony. It is important to clarify whether there is a transfer, car parking, children's room, animators for children.
- Payment. Not all hotels and mini-hotels in Crimea work with bank transfers. Typically, guest houses ask for a prepayment transfer, and upon arrival, you will need to pay in cash. If the booking is made through the services, then the booking conditions will also be indicated here.
- Reviews and ratings. Thanks to the booking systems, we learn the real reviews of vacationers, from which the rating is compiled. From the reviews, you can find out many important nuances that the hotel does not indicate. For example, the hotel does not have an elevator, but you will have to go down a steep staircase to the sea. Try to read as many reviews as possible, but remember that there are always dissatisfied with everything and everyone or extremely enthusiastic.
- Nutrition. Those who do not want to stand at the stove even on vacation choose hotels with meals or use the services of nearby cafes. When booking, you should definitely pay attention to the following information.
- OB, RO, AO - meals are not provided at the selected rate;
- BB - Continental or Swedish breakfast;
- HB - half board, that is, the room rate includes two meals a day;
- HB + - alcoholic drinks are added to half board;
- FB - Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner);
- FB + - local alcoholic beverages are added throughout the day;
- Al (All Inclusive) - "all inclusive" (first and second breakfasts, snacks, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, local alcohol and water / juices);
- UAl (Ultra All Inclusive) - imported drinks in any quantity (with and without alcohol) are added to the previous type.
Having summarized all the information received, you can start choosing a hotel. And there are no problems with this in Crimea. Hotel complexes for absolutely every taste and budget are waiting for you.
All Inclusive Hotels Overview
All inclusive hotels, by definition, cannot be cheap. But if you're willing to pay, then it is worth paying attention to hotel complexes located on the South Coast of Crimea (SCC)... The most expensive rest and entertainment has always been here. 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.
Residence "Crimean Breeze" is a 5 * hotel in Parkovoye. Guests rate the holiday here at 9 points out of 10. The complex is located some distance from the coastline, but has all the services for a luxury holiday, including several outdoor swimming pools with sea water. You can stay in both 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 village. Very convenient location for visiting the sights of the South Coast. From the name of the hotel, it is clear that it differs in the theme of the east in everything: decoration of rooms and recreation areas, cuisine. The cost of accommodation includes: buffet meals, beer and fresh, different types of saunas, use of the swimming pools and gym, playground.
Ecohotels are a new trend. Levant is a Yalta hotel in this direction. Here they care not only about the environment, but also about the health of their guests. The hotel can also be accommodated under the All Inclusive system. The hotel is located on the first line, so guests can watch the sea from the panoramic windows.
As an eco-service, guests are offered a diet menu, oxygen cocktails, salt lamps, sea fishing, a pillow menu, outdoor exercise equipment.
Resort club "Dacha" Is an interesting option for accommodation in 20 new Alushta summer cottages. There is no pathos here, but it has its own orchard, swimming pools, excellent cuisine, children's and sports grounds, animators. And all this in a closed area, where you can hear the birds singing. But leaving the gate, you can immediately plunge into the city life of Alushta.
The resort is located at the highest point of the city.
Soldaya Grand Hotel & Resort is located in Sudak, but resembles an old Italian estate. Pike perch 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 treatments.
The atmosphere of a medieval castle reigns throughout the hotel.
On the entire coast of the southern coast of Crimea, there is simply a huge number of all-inclusive hotels, but such a service can be obtained for a lower price on the east or west coast. The best complex in Crimea is located in Koktebel according to the international review site TripAdvisor CLUB-hotel LEXX (LEX). The hotel offers buffet meals. On the territory there are massage rooms and a hammam, the largest pool on the coast and a lounge area Punto G with a hookah.
In Feodosia, on the first coastline, there is a three-star "Atlantic", which has its own beach, swimming pool, bath complex, spa-center, billiard room. And you can also come here with animals.
The choice of food depends on the guest and is provided when booking the hotel.
And there is a completely different vacation in Crimea - on the cleanest sandy beaches, far from the hustle and bustle - on the western coast of the peninsula. For example, in Popovka there 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 here is cozy at home: a kitchen, a swimming pool, a sauna, animators for children and adults, a playground. But at the same time, clean air, because it is far from the promoted tourist spots.
Evpatoria is a neighbor of Popovka, but the atmosphere here is completely different: the city is a large children's resort with sandy beaches, a water park, a dolphinarium and other joys.Hotel "Liana" is perfect for families.
It has its own swimming pool and secure parking, fitness room and bar, sauna and billiard room.
Sevastopol is an expensive city comparable to Yalta. But there is a lot to see here, so many are willing to pay for bread and circuses. The stunningly beautiful and functional complex "Aquamarine" is able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding customers. It offers comfortable accommodation, various food systems, cosmetology services, use of a bath complex, yacht rental, 3 swimming pools, its own water park, its own beach, a medical center, and several restaurants.
But this is not all that Crimea has to offer: there are also all-inclusive hotels on the Azov coast. For example, the hotel "Riga" near the Kazantip nature reserve. The Sea of Azov is much warmer, so they like to bring small children here. And the prices are much lower here. You will find a full board, a 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 kind of freebie symbol. 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 relax without All Inclusive.
Budget proposals
On the Crimean peninsula, you can find a large number of economy class offers. But in different parts of Crimea “inexpensive” means different money. For example, there are practically no promoted hotels and attractions on the west coast. Everything there is created for a calm quiet 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 all the most beautiful places of Crimea are nearby, and life is gushing.
It is worth starting your search for an economical trip from the west coast. In Zaozernoye, vacationers celebrate mini-hotels "Almaz", "Light of the Mayaka", "Diana". Since the settlement is small, the sea is always nearby.
You can cook on your own in the kitchens, and thereby still save your budget.
In Evpatoria (the most popular city in the West), it is worth paying attention to the SeaLand and Planet boarding houses. There are beautiful beaches with a smooth entrance to the sea. There are playgrounds and animators. The Planet has its own heated pool, but the hotel is further from the sea.
In the city of Saki, you can find both expensive (at local prices) and cheaper housing. Hotel "Elite" with suites is located almost on the beach. "Kvitka" is a very beautiful mini-hotel near the beach in the middle price category. And "Voyage" - budget rooms for an undemanding vacationer, with all amenities, 50 meters from the sea.
"Zolotaya Rybka" is a new hotel in Pribrezhnoye, which is located practically on the shore. Near the water park "Banana Republic", you can go to Evpatoria and Saki, it is very close. Pension "Yuzhny" (Nikolaevka) is located in the park area. There is a children's club, a rope park, animators.
There are swimming pools for adults and children.
Also, for a quiet budget vacation with beautiful beaches, you should go to Shtormovoye, Popovka, Mirny, Chernomorskoye, Mezhvodnoye. A warm welcome and good conditions await guests everywhere.
In the east and southeast of the Crimean coast, you will also find many proposals for budget vacations.
In the juniper grove of the village of Novy Svet, there is a tourist and recreation complex (TOK). On three sides it is surrounded by mountains, on the fourth - the sea with a sandy-pebble beach. In Sudak, you should pay attention to the Gorizont Tourist Complex, Sudak, and the Zvezdny boarding house. "Horizon" and "Zvezdny" are not on the first line, therefore they are cheaper. "Sudak" is a huge territory in a park area right on the seashore. There are many buildings, a huge selection of services. There is a beach and a pump room with mineral waters.
Here you can not only relax, but also improve your health.
In Kurortnoye, the Crimean Primorye boarding house is interesting, which is located next to the extinct volcano Kara-Dag. Here guests are accommodated in wooden houses: quiet and peaceful, 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 "Primorye": TOSK is very much appreciated by vacationers. There is everything for a full stay and relaxation, and there is a water park nearby. Pension "Blue Bay" is located on the coastline. This place is popular with jazz lovers - it hosts annual festivals. The boarding house has its own swimming pool and playground for children.
Feodosia will be interesting for those who love entertainment. The embankment is saturated with the aromas of barbecue, shawarma and coffee. Music and color music delight visitors to the nightlife almost around the clock. Tourists recommend paying attention to the guest house "Yacht Club Kairos", which is located directly on the beach.
This is an unusual resting place with campfire gatherings and fishing.
On the South Coast, you can also find relatively inexpensive housing. It will be possible to save money if the hotel is located not on the first, but on the second line. Big Alushta is famous for its resorts and health resorts. But there is also another type of housing. You can choose any option:
- in Privetnoye "Eco Village" is waiting for you - houses, cottages and buildings on the seashore away from the hustle and bustle;
- in Alushta, the Skazka hotel is considered one of the best for family vacations, there is a heated pool and its own pebble beach;
- "Fiesta" - a new inexpensive hotel 10 minutes from the sea;
- Feodora is a private mini-boarding house in the central part of the city.
In Big Yalta, pay attention to the Eco-style Voronins House or the Ay - Todor - Yug (Gaspra) boarding house. These are beautiful places and varied recreation. Prices are reduced due to some distance from the sea. In Alupka, the guests liked the small hotel "Letniy Dvorik" - 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.
Guests also appreciate the friendliness of the staff.
What is suitable for families with children?
Of those hotels that have already been named, many are designed for families with children. Here are some more suggestions.
- In the seasonal boarding house "Zarya" (Yalta) you can relax with children from 4 years old. Guests are offered economy class cottages, 3 meals a day, playgrounds and water attractions. To the city beach "Dolphin" 450 m.
- In Gurzuf it is worth staying in a small private hotel in oriental style "Cheerful Hotey". There are water attractions for children, you can swim in the heated outdoor pool or sunbathe on a pebble beach 100 meters from the hotel.
