Good day!
I am delighted with this place! This is heaven on earth for me!
Of course, first of all I appreciated this isolated nature. The hotel is in a dead-end area, surrounded by a gorge on one side and the sea on the other.
- The beach is sandy, but when entering the water there is some gap of stones, after which there is sand again) The sun beds from the hotel are free, there is enough for everyone (we were at the end of September). The beach is clean. The sea is gorgeous!
- The room (we had a standard on the rock) is clean, small, but everything you need is there. Hot water, hair dryer, kettle, appliances.
- The food is delicious! There is always a choice between several first and second courses. There were always baked vegetables, mmm... Delicious! The breakfasts are great! Pancakes, condensed milk))) And of course there are different porridges, omelets, scrambled eggs, sausages, cheesecakes, etc. Everything is very tasty! But))) personally, I really wanted black bread, but there was only fresh white, soft bread! Dinner is ordered separately and is also very tasty) Thanks to the chefs!
- The staff is hospitable, they will always prepare delicious coffee, take an order for dinner, and help solve the problem. But, guys from the reception, you need to smile more often) I understand that working with people is work that requires patience and calmness.
In this case, an indispensable assistant is a friendly smile!
Good afternoon! I want to share my impressions about Arbika boarding house.
Let's start with the pros first:
The pension is located in a picturesque place - clear sea, beautiful mountains nearby, the hotel is far from the hustle and bustle, just for those who like a relaxing holiday. The weather is good. Well, that's probably a plus for Mother Nature. The beach is clean. The hotel and rooms are clean.
As for the hotel itself… Let's start with the staff. The administrator or manager is the face of the hotel, and this employee must do everything to make the guests feel comfortable and want to return again. The manager of this institution has a huge question, what are you doing here? You're probably for furniture. I haven't solved a single issue related to the numbers. On the contrary, she made an indifferent face as if it did not concern her. Poker face instead of a friendly smile. By the way, there have already been reviews about this lady. It works exclusively on the outflow of customers. It seems like she was doing us a favor in everything. Giving guests Dead rooms is the order of the day for them. Let me explain, the rooms we were given were "tired": mold, a wobbly toilet, a broken faucet that leaks, also a broken shower, furniture from Soviet times (which creaks like in a horror movie), and this is for 6K per day in October.
The food in the dining room is delicious. Only its appearance is confusing - the chairs are stripped, and the interior resembles a cheap dining room. The staff is friendly!
In general, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this hotel. We will not come back again and we will not recommend it to our friends. You will not find good quality service here. ❗We didn't even live out our remaining days there - we ran away! Money is wasted. Now we have moved to Sukhum and live in a PARADISE hotel, the amount is slightly higher, but here we get high and enjoy life! The staff are all great, the attitude towards Russians is great!
Have a great holiday and read carefully the reviews of other fellow citizens.️they often write the truth there)
I rate it PERFECTLY!!! I really liked the hotel! This is an ideal place for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, gather their thoughts and enjoy the sea and nature. The food is awesome! To the chef "respect and respect"))) There are no delicacies in the food (shrimp, squid and other seafood), the food is simple, but everything is very tasty and varied! And baked vegetables (eggplant, zucchini and pepper) are just a bomb. Thank you so much for your hospitality! I will definitely come back to you and recommend you to my friends and acquaintances!!!
Overall, the impressions were pleasant, I liked it.
1) The food is simple, tasty, varied, there is enough for everyone (there is no rush at the opening), the staff is very friendly. In the dining room, you can make an order for dinner, in general, our family liked it.
2) there are enough sun beds on the beach, you can always find a free one. There are sunshades.
3) the territory is clean, there are flowers and green delights. The playground is almost always in the shade, the children were constantly playing there (until late in the evening).
4) responsive staff. Everyone was always ready to help. Very nice girls at the reception, and in general, who we talked to - everything is very friendly.
5) The beach is sand/pebbles. From the upper floors you can see where the stones are, it's better not to swim there - hurt your feet. The beach is spacious enough, there is enough space for everyone.
6) the building is fresh and modern. We had a room with a sea view, very beautiful.
Features of the Watermelon:
1) There are no water coolers even at the reception. Drinking water should be bought at the store.
2) toilet paper should not be thrown into the toilet, while cleaning every three days.
3) The on-site store offers beer, soda and water, a very small selection. There are no local Abkhazian goodies.
4) There is no animation.
5) there is no terminal, they do not accept cards. It's right all over Abkhazia, some kind of prehistoric time.
6) there is a cafe of dubious quality nearby. There is no cafe on the territory.
7) there is nowhere to walk in the evening, only the hotel grounds and the beach.
Having visited various places in Abkhazia, I can say for sure that vacationers are taken care of here.
A pleasant, peaceful place for a secluded vacation! The territory is in perfect order. Well-organized, varied meals. Clean water, the sun, from which you can hide under awnings, clean air! The driveway leaves a lot to be desired for the better!
Wonderful hotel and staff. I didn't expect it. Positive: 1) A sparsely populated sandy beach 2) Very friendly and helpful staff 3) Delicious food, albeit simple 4) There is a shop on site 5) New deck chairs
Minuses: 1) Small rooms 2) You need to take a taxi to the city
I came with my family and did not expect that I would enjoy my vacation so much. It is ideal to swim, sunbathe, breathe the sea and pine trees, read and relax away from the city. We took a few more excursions, so we also managed to take a walk.
Thanks everyone. Have a good season!
This is the best place in Abkhazia!!! Clean, the beach is 10 meters from the hotel, where only the vacationers of the hotel, canopies, sun beds!good two meals a day, you can order dinner separately - the portions are large. There is a seating area with tables on site, and a cinema in the evenings... Children's playground, souvenir shop. Room cleaning is of high quality.
The hotel is not bad, the room, its filling, the balcony is fine - clean, without frills, a view of the cliff. The beach is sandy, as is the entrance to the sea. There were enough sun beds for everyone, although the hotel was busy.It was 4 days, not counting the day of arrival and from "riding.I was poisoned twice, this is the first time in my life. I wasn't the only one with poisoning. This is not sea water - the hotel is located in a dead end, far from housing - I think this is a dining room where they have no idea about cleanliness, cutlery is sticky, such a hotel and such an ugly food. It is better not to visit such places, you will be healthier. Some negative emotions, now I understand people who write about Abkhazia what it is. And another rudeness - I ordered a transfer from the hotel, was 15 minutes late, put in the car and left again for 15 minutes. I came to the administrator - I was outraged, a young couple agreed to give me a ride, thanks to them. Here is such a "rest"
We rested from August 30 to September 6, 2024, we really liked the hotel, the place is quiet, calm, without too much fuss, the entrance to the sea is smooth, there are underwater boulders near the cliff, but closer to the main building, everything is clean, from the room above you can see where these stones are. The rooms are clean, cleaned regularly, a little cramped, but we had economy, so it was fine. The food is a buffet, everything is very tasty, there is always a choice of dishes, but it is advisable to come to the opening, then your favorite dish may not be enough, for example, there was a chop at first, and after an hour that's all, only pilaf remained from the meat. The staff is polite, it's nice, no one pulls anyone back or finds fault, everything is free. Good coffee at the reception. There is a kettle in the room, we bought water, but there was enough food. There is a cafe on the beach and a dining room next to the hotel, but in a cafe with lampshades they cook better, sometimes you want to taste a barbecue. Trade is not particularly developed, but everything is there: local fruits, vegetables and cheese, etc. The shops are small, the assortment is not rich, but you can choose, delicious milk is very Kuban and butter and cheese. From the entertainment, a boat trip comes 2 times a day, such as a boat and a board, it is very pleasant to swim on it. The rest is wonderful. Thank you for the recommendations of this hotel. Our Windows overlooked the mountains, but this is more of a plus than a minus, a quieter place you can't hear the sound of the sea, it's quiet, and the sun doesn't burn through the windows, we really liked everything. We'll come again. Yes, there were enough sun beds, they are free, they give out beach towels.
Good evening, at the moment we live in room 22 apartments (not cheap as in Turkey) I will start with the advantages of the place, the view and location are super, the kitchen is very tasty, the sandy beach sun beds are at a height, the rooms are clean, but there are disadvantages that negate almost everything in the shower it is not possible to adjust the water is very hot then it's cold and after the beach you want to take a shower normally, it's dangerous for children to get scalded in the room there is no TV remote control, the sofa is broken, very bad wi-fi disappeared on the fourth day in the room at all, catches well on the balcony and on the street, the door to the room sagged and opens badly touches the bottom that you have to constantly push hard that creates a strong screech, we went to the reception yesterday about the shower, they said they would do everything today, but alas, we had to wash with cold water again, they complained to the reception on the Internet today, the answer was amazing (everything was already fixed, restart the phone, rebooted, the antenna in front of the balconies did not change) it is not clear what the difficulty is to put a network amplifier in the room, Maybe we came across such a room on the fourth floor, I don't know. the location is good, friendly and courteous staff, we will still rest for 10 days, we will get used to where to go. We arrived by train, we would have left by car. Today is the 12th day of rest, everything is fine, but there are problems with water and light. The video shows that flushing the toilet is also a problem, I will not take off for 20 minutes.
Our main criterion in choosing a holiday destination was:
1. There are few people on the beach, not like in Anapa.
2. Good nutrition.
They chose Arbika because it was isolated and, according to reviews, the food suited everyone. We had a rest at the beginning of September.
Of the advantages:
1. There are not many people on the beach, the sea is clean. We went to the center of Pitsunda for a day to look at the pines and the beach - it was terrible - there were a lot of people, it was dirty.
2. The locations on the territory are very well thought out - a smoking area, tables under a canopy, a swing, a playground.
3. Very friendly staff, solved the issues very quickly.
4. About food, it is very controversial, yes you will not go hungry, but not everything can be eaten. I will write about this in the cons. Very tasty bread!!
5. There is a rental of saps, catamarans, bicycles.
6. The contingent of pensioners means quietly, calmly, there are no children screaming around, there are few couples with children, we were in early September, I think there are more people with children in the summer.
Disadvantages of the hotel:
1. The condition of the rooms, we lived in a suite. There are no photos of bathrooms on the site, I understand why, they are in terrible condition. A suite is not a suite, but just a larger room. The toilet was dirty- black in terms of water level, the toilet brush was erased to zero, this is the first time I've seen this, the maid can't wash the toilet properly with such brushes- at our request, replace it- quickly bring the brush, we washed the toilet ourselves- in the photo this is what we were able to wash. The shower flows from all sides, the shelf in the shower is all rusty. These are small things that the hotel can easily fix, but for some reason does not fix.
2. Food, a lot of over-salted dishes, chicken cubes are added to chicken soup, although soup with chicken meat, why the cube is not clear. In my opinion, they make bad-tasting food from good source products themselves.
3. For coffee connoisseurs, what is free in the dining room, what is not delicious at the reception for money.
The peculiarity of the hotel is that you will not get out of there, it takes 30 minutes to stop in the heat and a broken road, taxi drivers do not want to go to Arbika BECAUSE the road is broken + a rockfall. From the center of Pitsunda to Arbika 1000 rubles.
4. Sunbeds, take up to 8-00, otherwise it will not be enough or lie not under a canopy.
In general, I recommend Arbika for a relaxing holiday, lying on the beach, watching the sunset. We got what we wanted from him.
Excellent location, by the sea, I would like to note separately the work of the dining room (buffet breakfasts and dinners), everything is very simple, a small assortment, but everything is "at home".
There are bed bugs or bed mites in the rooms, many rooms are infected, creepy bites!
We had a vacation in the summer of 2024 with our family. Junior Suite with panoramic sea view. The food was delicious, and there was a lot of choice. We liked everything very much. It was the perfect beach vacation. We will definitely come back.
We had a rest at the end of June .The company is 7 people . I liked everything . Beach.service.rooms . The beach is within walking distance.there are sun beds under the awning. We rented 2 rooms . We had a large room with 2 bedrooms.the kitchen . Balcony with sea view.Drying on the balcony .chaise lounges table .It is very pleasant to spend evenings. Beautiful territory . There are flowers everywhere . There is a tasting shop nearby .where you can always buy water and freshly brewed coffee . Special thanks to the girls from the dining room. A very friendly team . We had a rest no worse than abroad. Thanks a lot to everyone!!!!
We had a rest from September 6-18, 2024. Poisoning left a heavy impression on the 2nd day of arrival. Although we didn't eat anywhere else. Twice, before that, we rested in the defense industry, and bought something there on the market, but this did not happen. According to reviews, the food in the dining room is homemade and varied, but I didn't see anything like that. It's the same for breakfast. Lunch noodles with a strange taste, apparently bouillon cubes. The question is why? Everything is too salty. We arrived in the rain, so the impression of the dirty sea is still there, although on calm days the sea is fabulous. The junior suite is not worth the money. There are simply no shelves in the room and in the bathroom. Things were placed on the floor. Among the advantages are good infrastructure, a courtyard and rental.you can play table tennis, go hiking, cycling. If your health allows, and you will not be mowed down by the rotovirus. It is completely unclear for a boarding house of such a level this problem.
We had a vacation with our daughter in September 2024. We booked a room with a sea view in advance.
The room has panoramic Windows, there is everything. Dining room with sea view, food is normal.
The beach is clean, sandy. At the reception desk, young people are attentive to the customers, they receive a special greeting. I recommend you to visit
Polite staff, new building, delicious food, no frills, but incomparable nature, and the sea....I've never seen anything like it. I definitely recommend it!
I do not recommend it , the attitude and service are disgusting . There is a lady sitting at the reception with such an expression on her face that it is better not to even look in her direction. No requests or questions can be resolved, in plain text : "If you want, write a review , we will delete it", "What do you want ? If you don't like it, we're not waiting for you here." The rooms are tiny, everything is kept "on snot", the bed linen is the cheapest, everything is in coils and washed. The sea is dirty , stormy every other day . Strangers are constantly lying on the sun beds, it is not always possible to find places for hotel guests. Entering the sea of stones, it is easy to beat off the legs. The most amazing thing is, there are no rescuers at all. The location of the hotel is between a rock and the sea , there is no infrastructure , a small shop with crazy prices and a cafe . A taxi to Pitsunda is 1000 rubles, and it's not a fact that there will be someone willing to take you. The food is good , homemade and delicious. No frills and no choice , but you can eat . But all the appliances and dishes are dirty, everything is sticky.
Everything is fine! 2 steps to the sea. The food is delicious. In 10 days, no one was poisoned (although we were all scared that it was not worth eating there). The staff is wonderful and courteous. There is a sandy beach and there are always free sunbeds. Transfer from Sochi airport by minibus. It takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to drive (if you can get through the border quickly). We plan to repeat the trip next year.
I really enjoyed my stay in this place. We will definitely come back.
The rooms are clean, cleaning is done regularly and efficiently.
The food is delicious and well prepared.
The beach is clean.
Thanks to the whole team. I liked the rest.
I really enjoyed my vacation in Arbik. The place is beautiful, picturesque. The hotel is located on the outskirts, then there is a rock, there is only 1 shop and 1 cafe with live music in the evenings. If you want to go to the city, walk 20 minutes to the minibus along the sea. I liked the hotel very much, clean rooms, normal food, Playground, sea first line. I would like to add dinners at the hotel and there is not enough pool, since the sea is stormy and you can't swim, the pool would be just right for such situations. Would you come again? Of course yes!

We had a rest in September 2024. Great hotel. It is located at the very edge of the bay, quite secluded. The first line . The room is comfortable with a direct view of the sea. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style. Dinner needs to be ordered in advance, but it is also very good and not expensive. Parking in the courtyard is free. The beach is almost private, the sun beds are free. In short, an excellent hotel for a calm and measured rest.
The place is great, I didn't even want to leave. The food is not bad. Watching a movie in the evenings. There is a digustation shop with everything you need to relax... Sancho from the shop looks like
Adriano Celentano) A very friendly, pleasant man.
Nearby there are a couple of shops, fruit stalls and cafes. There are also water excursions with the opportunity to see dolphins (we were lucky).
Thanks to the staff for their courtesy and their work. We flew home yesterday and we want to go back.
A wonderful place, a great hotel, the nicest staff. Respect to the head for the organization and recruitment of staff. I am very happy with everything. The rest was a success! Thank you for the pleasant memories!
Of the advantages, there are none
Cons - the staff is not customer-oriented, I do not recommend this boarding house for visiting and relaxing. I hope that this boarding house with its staff has become richer and the food there has become tastier due to the fact that the deposit amount has not been returned to us, although we informed about the refusal in advance, more than 14 days in advance.
Nowadays, it is important to be a conscientious service provider, unfortunately, Arbika boarding house is not one.
We had a rest in Arbik in early August 2023. We were very satisfied. The sea is just a fairy tale. The water is clean. We booked a family apartment. The sea view is just great. I was very pleased that the room was already ready for our arrival. Thanks to the staff. We arrived at 9.40 a.m. The food is delicious, maybe not as much choice as we are used to abroad, but everything is of high quality and you can always find something to eat (there was breakfast and lunch). We went to another place for dinner. I would also like to note that the hotel has a very high-quality room cleaning service. It was cleaned every 3 days, but very well. Sometimes there were interruptions with the light. But this did not overshadow our rest. Many thanks to the hotel staff for their attention and kindness. We will definitely come back here again.
We had a rest in June-July 2023.But the hotel has its cons and pros.
The sea and the beach are just a fairy tale
Friendly staff!The territory of the hotel is large.
There were few people on the beach and it was great. The hotel is suitable for families with children.) The hotel grounds and the beach have always been clean.There is a mini market and a cafe not far from the hotel, you have to go to other cafes for 20 minutes.
Minuses:
1. There were no fresh vegetables in the dining room, but only salads (olivier, crab) seasoned with mayonnaise (
and there were no fruits at all (and there were no pastries (not counting pancakes and cheesecakes)
There is no dinner, you need to order from them, but the prices (space) are more expensive than in local cafes.The food is of the same type((
2. The cleaners did not clean the room well.Only the bed and towels were changed.
In general, if you come to take a break from people, noise and hubbub, then it's great.
3. Wi-Fi is disgusting.I had to buy a local SIM card.
A great place to relax, the beach is literally three steps from the hotel, there are sun beds, the sea is good, but after the storm it becomes very dirty, I do not advise swimming the next day after the storm, there is a chance to catch rotavirus
We liked the hotel. Of course, we chose it for a long time, because this is Abkhazia and you know what the level of service is. We booked 10% of the amount by phone 2 months in advance. We arrived in the morning, we were told that the rooms are ready (2 rooms) and can be checked in immediately. It was a pleasant surprise. Then we saw that not everyone was so lucky, but people put the car in the parking lot and went to the beach. Parking is free, we counted about 24-25 cars. The beach is private, sandy. For me, this is a plus, walking on pebbles is a torment, but even with excitement, of course, the water takes longer to clear. Sun beds and canopies are free of charge, you can take beach towels 200₽ deposit. Entering the water, there are stones on the left, quite sharp, go to the right, the stones are visible, the water is perfectly transparent. The depth starts gradually, which is good, because those who swim poorly do not crowd (as we later noticed in Sochi) near the shore. Meals, breakfast-lunch, if you need dinner, order separately before 4 o'clock. The food is monotonous, But everything is delicious, you will not stay hungry. It's like a buffet, but people don't go the second or third time, it's enough. There are no fruits and there are all kinds of pastries, but this is for an amateur. There are enough places in the dining room for everyone. Sea view. The rooms were taken simple with a view of the mountain. They are smaller, but we came to the sea to swim, and not to sit in the room. Sometimes the lights were turned off, not for long, it didn't cause any problems. The guys at the reception are good, they explain everything, they treat us politely, our requests were not ignored. Who needs excursions, everything is there. We drove ourselves by car. Who needs a party, it's not here, it's a quiet family vacation. There is a playground, a trampoline swing, a slide. In the evening, a movie is played from the projector. There is a 500₽/h or 1500₽/unlimited board rental. Many come with their own. Towels in the room are changed every 3 days along with cleaning, we are satisfied with this. There is a gel shampoo, it is not updated, but I saw people coming up and taking it. As a result, the hotel is on a solid 4+, privireda will certainly find something, but we have been to ultraol so there is something to compare it with. From conversations, we saw people coming for the second or third year.
We just returned with a grandson of 10 years old...We had a rest from July 8-15...when they write in social networks (LADY) that holidays in Abkhazia were spoiled, they were not chosen there, There are always and everywhere unscrupulous owners (who believe that the sea will write everything off), but this does not apply to this Boarding House...If you want entertainment, then it's to the center of Gagra, Sochi - to show yourself... In this place there is peace, the sea, sand and a good kitchen, all the products are fresh...the service is above all praise, the team is a single whole...A huge thank you to EVERYONE- the reception managers, the girls and women in the dining room, the chefs and this is a men's team...and of course, the cleaning girls are out of competition. ARBIKA -THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
We rested in Arbik from September 6 to September 15, 2023 in a junior suite with a sea view. I liked everything very much. All the reviews I read earlier were confirmed. The sea is very close, there were enough sun beds for everyone. There is a small playground on site, a cafe with a disco every evening (a little further from the hotel. I can't hear the music). There is a store and retail outlets nearby. Excursions can be purchased at the hotel and a shuttle service can be arranged. There are also taxis near the cafe. The food in the dining room was simple, monotonous, but delicious, and I did not hear that anyone was poisoned.
Of the disadvantages, cleaning is once every three days and not very high quality. Dinner should be ordered for 600 rubles in the same dining room or look for another place for dinner. I think it's expensive for such a dinner. Lunch cannot be rescheduled for dinner. The junior suite has a very small sink and a shower stall in need of repair. A very expensive 4000 RUB transfer from the airport. The location of the hotel, both plus and minus, is located away from the village. Ldzaa, behind the Fish Factory, under the rocks.
It is unclear why and where such a price tag for accommodation came from. Inadequate, to put it mildly.
In the dining room, pangasius fillet, aka sea tongue, was struck for the price of grilled salmon.
By answering that it is so clogged in the program…
Not a good place, I do not recommend it....
June 2022 I really liked the hotel, stylish design, location between the mountain and the sea, friendly staff, delicious food (I especially liked pancakes and stewed vegetables), clean comfortable rooms, the beach is beautiful - both the shore and the bottom are sand, at sunset about a meter - pebbles, then sand again, it is shallow for a long time, children good) Sometimes mulberries were brought to the beach for sale, and in general fruits could be bought near the Marble Castle, there were several shops and tents, matsoni and cheese were bought from local residents in the Armenian village, and to get to Pitsunda, it took 22 minutes to walk along the mountain road to the Fish Factory (or along the shore, but so longer). Minibuses run often, from there you can also go to Psou and any city in Abkhazia. In general, we liked everything very much, we recommend it to everyone - a quiet, ideal vacation in a very beautiful, sparsely populated place. We want to come here again
Good afternoon! Yes, the sea is not bad, the idea of the hotel is too. Everything else is very frustrating! The rooms are cramped and smelly creepy! The linen and towels are just terrible! The kitchen would be fine, but there are flies all around and the staff doesn't do anything about it! At the reception, the girls seem to be not responsible for anything at all, do not ask, all the questions are not for them. Pay only with cash everywhere. Well, the road to the hotel is something out of the ordinary! Just complete disrespect to the guests!
My daughter and I had a vacation in August 2022. I liked everything. The hotel staff are helpful and friendly people.
The room is always clean and tidy) Everything in the dining room was delicious at home. The sea is beautiful. The only problem was the proximity of the clinic. But, the driver from the hotel, Sergey took me to the nearest hospital, accompanied me and helped me navigate in the hospital and brought me back, for which I thank him very much. Arbika is a wonderful place for a perfect holiday.
The food is simple, and that's understandable -the dining room
A large number of beef dishes, which is very rare. The first courses are delicious. There is no fruit from the word at all, the service depends on you -you will walk and smile and they will smile back at you. Our place was cleaned well. There are shops nearby. You can buy delicious food and even Turkish sweets. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. Therefore, there are very few people on the beach and all the vacationers are "obraslechiny". Arrogant strangers are kicked out at your request. Good and inexpensive beaches on the beach. The road along the beach is bad. In case of heavy rain, a mudslide occurs. It will be difficult to get through there. Beach-entry 2./3 -terrible-sharp rocks when entering. 1/3 excellent approach. After a storm, the setting changes, then the pebbles, then the sand at sunset. In calm weather, the sea is amazing.
We had a rest in July of 23 years. There were 10 days. The hotel is wonderful! The sea is just a stone's throw away! Nature is awesome. The rooms are clean. They clean well. The dining room is clean and large. The food is very good. Homemade food to choose from. The staff is kind and helpful. The rest was great! We will definitely come again! Thanks
Nice hotel. The room is clean, not very small, the sea view is beautiful, the room has everything you need. The only thing I would work on is nutrition, if you include it in the price, let it be at least a little more diverse, let there be fruits and more vegetables. You have everything growing almost year-round, let there be more vitamins on the menu 🙏
We were a big company with children, we liked everything. The standard rooms are small, but clean, and have everything you need. We were checked in before the scheduled 14 o'clock. A huge plus is the private Parking. The food in the dining room is homemade, there are disadvantages of some dishes, but there is plenty to choose from. The staff is polite, the girls at the reception always helped. The territory is clean and well maintained. Even after the storm the next day, the hotel staff cleaned and tidied up the beach. I recommend this hotel for families with children, quiet and peaceful.
The 4* hotel deserves its own. The food is good and for slaughter, only for dinner there is a very poor menu to order! The beach left a double impression, the slopes, the canopy, the sand are of course good, but sometimes large stones come across and you beat off your feet with them. Then you start to remember where it's better not to go. After the storm, the sand was all washed away and it certainly became terrible. The parking at the hotel is good, but sometimes you get blocked so it's a dick to leave. Of course, they charged a good price, I think it's expensive for such a hotel.
Arbika Boarding house is perfect for a beach holiday, the buildings are located right on the seashore, the balconies of the suites and family rooms overlook the sea. Beauty. Very attentive and friendly staff!!! The breakfasts and lunches are delicious, there is not much variety, but high quality. It is possible to book any excursions. We had a great rest. The main thing is that the wonderful sea is very close!!!
Positive:
- there are few people on the beach due to the remote location of the hotel
- proximity to the sea - literally 15 meters
- private Parking, but the disadvantage is that it is paid - 1000 rubles / day!
- the room is equipped with everything you need. A set of shampoos and shower gels is issued on a one-time basis.
- there is a small area where you can sit at tables in the evening and watch a movie, which is turned on every evening on the projector
- there are enough sun loungers on the beach, but there were still "occupants" who threw towels on the chaise longue and left for half a day. This, apparently, is not eradicated from our people
- the ability to order a car from the hotel is slightly cheaper than calling a taxi
- very tasty pilaf (the rest of the food is ordinary)
Minuses:
- the most terrible entry into the sea on 2/3 of the territory. All the legs were cut up. Everything is solved in one day of operation of the excavator, but the management, apparently, does not care. Either take special slippers or go in front of the dining room, but children mostly swim there
- food. Sooo small choice. There are no fruits or desserts in sight. You can come to a particular meal only once. If you haven't had a hearty breakfast or lunch and after an hour and a half you want to have something else to eat, that's your problem. They won't let you near the food anymore, even if people are still eating there. I especially didn't like the breakfasts: and so there is no choice, so there is also no quality of meat semi-finished products at all. There were pancakes almost every day, but we tried them and did not take them. The cheesecakes were still passable, they ate out of desperation.
- the tables in the dining room smell like old rags
- it is difficult to get through to the reception
- the Wi-Fi is unstable. The rooms were bad, the beach was good
- the standard rooms are just microscopic. The bathroom is one and a half by one and a half square meters, the rooms smell damp and musty
- content – families with children and pensioners
You can only walk along the coast, where there is nothing special, besides the bad road. We had dinner at a nearby bar – and the prices and food are reasonable. True, the music was playing very loudly so that it was difficult to talk, but we resigned ourselves to at least some entertainment) Somehow we went a little further to the cafe "Clouds" – it's not worth going there. Everything is not delicious. They absolutely do not know how to cook meat. And the price tag is one and a half times more expensive. We also ordered dinner at the hotel. The prices are normal, the food is average: I liked something, I didn't finish something. If you have a room with a view of the "mountains", keep in mind that you will not be looking at the mountains, but at the rock, which is 10 meters away. But there is also a plus – there is shade in the rooms during the day, and in rooms with sea views the sun shines through the windows all day. Air conditioning, of course, solves the problem. The lights and water were not turned off even once.
I also want to tell you about an unpleasant incident. When we left, my husband left his moccasins in the room. New and expensive. A day later, we discovered this and I asked the girls from the reception to give them to us with vacationers who are by car and from our region. To which they replied that nothing could be done anymore, because everything was thrown in the trash. I was very upset by this attitude. Yes, probably, hotels are not obliged to keep things forgotten by guests. But sometimes you can show humanity. After all, these are not some kind of underpants or socks. What if it were, for example, a watch or other valuable items? Would they have gone to the trash too? Yeah, "in the trash"... once in Sochi, I forgot my denim shorts at the hotel. Well, I forgot and forgot, figs with them – it's not a big loss. So they called me back from the hotel and offered to send them by parcel. That's what I understand the level of customer focus.
As a result, I rate the hotel at 4-, but because of the latter I put 3.
I can only advise unassuming pensioners.
A wonderful boarding house. Polite staff, good food, delicious dinners can be purchased from the menu. The sea is 50m.Kayaks, mountain bikes for rent. Catamarans with a boat trip pass by the bay several times a day. In the evenings, you can arrange a romantic dinner with local drinks to music or a movie on request. There is also a summer cafe with live music and dancing nearby, and there is also a hookah bar. All tours can be purchased at the reception. Well, we rented a car (there is Parking). There is a playground. We really liked it. 11 days just flew by. See you again Arbika!!!
Friends, this is a great place. The sandy beach is located in a dead end. It is cleaned every morning. The water is clear. There are a lot of awnings for rods...There are no outsiders . Food for slaughter. The buildings are all new and clean, the balconies are clean. The staff is Russian. The sea is 10 meters away. There are sap boards and other floating entertainment. Nearby there are shops (toys, wines, beer, fruits), a bar and wine tasting on site. Waterfall fountain. Dolphins in the morning and evening. Of the disadvantages, Please ask the Administration to pay attention to the playground .... the trampoline needs repair, the swing too. The slide cut from the bottom should be replaced as the legs scratch against it, and in general, to diversify it. Otherwise, at the moment it is an extreme park rather than a playground. The boarding house is a family with children...after all. Exclude or replace the supplier of nuggets and fries from dinner very bad.
Arbika is a boarding house with several buildings on the very edge of the Pitsunda Bay.
Positive
There is a sandy beach with sun beds.
Nice rooms.
Good cuisine.
Minuses
The road to the boarding house, a small stretch of road to the village of 400 meters is a dusty primer.
We had a rest in June 2023, we were a little unlucky with the weather - but it didn't spoil the impressions and positive emotions! A very wonderful place, a boarding house, a room (there was a junior suite with a sea view) - everything is just super!! If you want a relaxing holiday, come here. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are cleaned every 3 days, the beach, sun beds are cleaned 2 times a day. A trip on the PEGASUS catamaran is super, the Captain and his assistant Oksana are just wonderful - walks along the Petsund Bay with swimming in the open sea and meeting dolphins, these are unforgettable impressions. And Arbika boarding house is just a paradise for a relaxing holiday. The girls at the reception are friendly, very wonderful)). We will be back there in September! ARBIKA - thank you for the rest and impressions, we really want to see you again. We recommend it to everyone!
The food will go like a dining room , not a cafe, housing will go 3c plus, only there is no elevator on the 5th floor , go down and up at least 3 times , change into the dining room , go in , bought a tour at 8: 30 said the guide , then sent the guide an agreement that the time may change , which is bad , 7:55 departure and hungry without breakfast to walk before lunch and it's not up to the tour for me, there are many pitfalls than Turkey
