The buffet .... This is a typical dining room from the 2000s.
If we were led to a lure called "all inclusive" from the included grill bar, which indicates that barbecue and snacks, then be prepared for literally 10 French fries and grilled sausages of questionable quality
Alcohol is generally a separate conversation : beer wants to leave the best
Wine and chacha of unknown origin from 1.5 liter bottles is all ... it's just water from soft drinks....
In general, IT's very difficult to call IT a bar ...
...
Now let's talk about the rooms
We generally took comfort without a balcony, there was a dirty carpet in the hair of the leftovers of previous guests waiting for us when we checked in
There were no towels in the room.
I went to the reception and was told that we were waiting for towels 7 hours after check-in, they brought us towels.
.
There is a paid bar at the reception
There's already something that looks like cocktails
The prices for the cocktail that they make themselves are not bad at all
But the drinks that they just sell are overpriced, as if not by 4 times
....
According to the description of the hotel, the sea is 350 meters away... but no matter how we walked for about a kilometer +- 200 meters.
..
The reception staff has only 2 normal administrators, these are Evgenia and Dmitry, who can politely and vividly talk, the rest are just students or just children
. In
general, expectation and reality are very far from each other ...!
I will start with the fact that initially the ticket was bought to another hotel, which was unfinished and offered to go to Europe without additional payment, the first and last time I visited this hotel. I read a lot of positive reviews and agreed to go because the vacation was already planned. The hotel has not changed towels or bed linen in 8 days, there is no kettle in the room, no drinking water. There is not even a shelf in the shower to put shampoos, etc. The pool when we arrived was dirty, muddy, only dirt floated on the surface, but after lunch it became more or less cleaner, apparently they added strong chemicals for cleaning (and there are small children swimming, God forbid they get poisoned by it all) On the second day of rest, we caught rotovirus, we were not the only ones, many people walked around the hotel with enterosgel and also suffered from it. In the dining room, all the second courses are cold, except for soup at lunch and porridge in the morning, at least they were hot. There was nothing else from fruits except apples and oranges.
There were no forks all the time. The staff is on the top three. The only advantage is that the beautiful nature and clean good sea.
Not bad, but a little dirty, the tables at the bar are generally dirty and shabby. At the reception they took a resort fee, although according to the law of Abkhazia it was introduced only for accommodation from 10 days, and I arrived for five. I was outraged that they were demanding to pay the resort fee, that they were violating the law of Abkhazia, to which I was told that this was a requirement of the hotel. In short, this hotel has the same lawlessness as in the whole of Abkhazia.
We had a rest in early June 2023. Me, husband, child (boy 3 years old). Overall, we liked it. The hotel is located next to the sea, it's a real plus! It takes about 6 minutes to walk! The territory is guarded, no outsiders will be allowed without bracelets, and this is very good! The hotel has its own free beach, but it takes about 15 minutes to walk around the city, but the sun beds and umbrellas are free! Room service is 4 out of 5, the disadvantage is that they do not wipe the table and bedside tables, they do not vacuum under the beds, the linen is changed every 5 days. Our room is a 1-room standard twin of 11m2, but it's a little cramped for 3. Minus - there is no locker, it was hard with things, they were lying all over the room. Plus, there is a clothes dryer, it stood on the balcony every day. If you take a room with access to the pool, then goodbye to peace for a few hours (the pool closes at 8 o'clock), and this is music and shouting into the microphone. The food was delicious, but there was not much variety, but we ate enough and even found something to feed the child. The staff is good, there are no complaints about them, well done! From entertainment, there were some gatherings like the mafia, needlework circles, etc. They have something like a snack bar right on the territory, you can sit there, eat kebabs or shawarma. There is also a sauna, but I remember it was flooded only 1 time and was not heated anymore. The playground is already tired. But when we left, it seems they wanted to update it.. In general, as a vacation with children or for whom, it will go
We are resting at the hotel now. Of course, Abkhazia is trying to do something to get guests to replenish the money supply. But there is devastation everywhere. A hotel with a beach is not pleasant to go to the beach, a construction site, a mess. Bombed structures with protruding fittings from the former embankment from the Soviet era stick out everywhere on the beach, there is no toilet, this is generally a disaster. What kind of bar is there. All inclusive is an invention of the administration and a deception. The pool bar and barbecue are specially overcooked to such an extent that you don't even want to look at anything. French fries are always cold. My husband didn't say anything. The room is clean because the hotel itself is new. There are no slippers, robes, too, everything that is written in the concept is not true. There is no drinking water from the word at all. IT'S ALL INCLUSIVE. We arrived with a small child, left a request for a cot, brought it upon check-in half an hour later, after several requests. They take a long time to settle, I mean I make it out manually. It's not very good. The food is delicious, but on the third day I don't want to eat anymore, only soups change. We changed the towel on the fourth day and then with great dissatisfaction, do not even ask for bed linen. They all have something, then a thunderstorm, then light, then water. And so don't ask. And we paid for all inclusive. Oh, oh, oh. The dining room doesn't seem to have anything either, but they're building something again, everything is in plain sight. Hang it up, I say, so that your guests don't get scared, they answer, don't let them look. Nightmare. The useless territory saves the hotel, there are few benches, there are no children's corners. One with slides, a good one. But it is not convenient for the little ones. There are no swings at all, there are a lot of children. Everyone fell for the all-inclusive, and here is a figure of three fingers. And not a small amount of money.The price and quality cannot be said here. Last year we were in Russia in Gudauta, cheap and without show-offs. A clean town. People in the summer, his price is even higher, whether to go or not, think again
The hotel is new, the rooms are cozy, but small. The equipment of the rooms is minimalism in everything: the kettle is shared in the corridor, there are no shelves in the bathroom for shampoos, etc. Malfunctions (clogged drain) are eliminated promptly. Room cleaning according to the schedule. The room was on the 3rd floor with a view of the pool. From morning to evening (a break for a quiet hour from 13 to 15), the basses of cheerful music are hammered under the cheers of the animators, the noise insulation of the windows is weak - it interferes with rest. Abkhazia is a paradise for smokers, in the absence of legal restrictions, they smoke everywhere. In the evening, under the eye on the shore of the pool, many fans of spoiling the air with tobacco smoke are sitting at tables. It's bad for a non-smoking person - the window can't be opened. You can't breathe clean air. If you want peace and quiet, it is better to take a room with a view of the mountains (but not to the market). Full board meals. This is not very convenient, since it is tied to the time of the meal. It would be better to offer a choice: full board or breakfast. The food is not bad, but monotonous. Buffet. I often had to wait for clean glasses. The waiters are slow in Abkhaz. In a word, you can relax here, but there are better places.
There is a fairly diverse menu, there is plenty to choose from, even a one-year-old child can be safely fed. Since we had 3 meals a day, we didn't eat anywhere, we were quite full. Our room was "comfort", I did not go into the others, so there is nothing to compare it with. The room on the ground floor with access to the pool is very convenient because it is fashionable to go out straight from the room in a swimsuit and dry the linen well. In the room: a large bed, a table, a chair, two bedside tables, a TV, a refrigerator, a large mirror, a heater, air conditioning; in the hallway: a wardrobe, a small shoe rack and wall hangers; in the bathroom: toilet, sink, mirror, shower, hairdryer, towel dryer. The service is excellent, the very responsive girls cleaned the room every day and even changed the linen for us several times in 10 days. The pool is nice and spacious, but you can't really swim in it. There is not enough greenery on the territory, but there are so many young plantings, so in a couple of years it will be more interesting. It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the hotel's beach. There are not always enough sun beds for everyone who wants to lie by the sea. The beach is clean, cleaned all the time.
Minuses:
- there is no playground for small children, and there were many of them. There is a playground for children from 6 years old, no less and a sports ground, but I would like for the very little ones - a sandbox, safe swings / carousels, fencing, so that the children can safely go there and sit while they play.
- there are no decking / paths on the beach, the stroller has to be dragged on itself, or rather behind itself. I was alone with the child, I had to drag it back and forth on gravel, the stroller gets stuck all the time. In general, please make wooden paths for the administration, along which it will be convenient to carry the stroller to the descent to the sea.
- a dumpster to the left of the secondary exit to the territory. Well, not really. It's not at all pleasant to go through and see all this..
Overall, I had a very pleasant impression of the hotel.
A place where I DEFINITELY won't go anymore! Maintenance is zero. They asked me to vacuum it 3 days ago. There was no reaction. The buffet is very meager. It is clear that the lights are turned off, etc. But there has been no hot water for 24 hours. Every receptionist on duty accepts the application, but there is no water anyway.
Please note that bathrobes are not included in the price. There are none. Face towels only
The reception staff is not attentive, room cleaning is fu. The room was comfortable, but we did not feel it, the panoramic window does not close, at night it blows from the sea. There are no names of dishes in the dining room "I guessed it myself"
Nice hotel. The staff is responsive. The food is only boring and monotonous. As if at first it is normal to eat, but every day it is the same. It's tiring. Otherwise, everything is OK for a seal holiday. It's boring in the evenings. No discos and no fun. Quiet for pensioners. For that, one minus star. And so everything is very good and not expensive.
Today we left this hotel and immediately want to write a review, but alas not 5 stars. What they write on the site is all inclusive, of all inclusive, it's food, alcohol, accommodation, that's it. I will start in detail, as soon as we entered the room and did not find disposable slippers there, it is not critical, but not pleasant (((. Changing towels, as they are available, they will give only small 8 pieces, when the change of linen came, it turned out that it was not available, they had check-in. The biggest disadvantage is the beach, which still needs to be found. They say there is a private beach, there is none, there is a part of the beach somewhere, it is equipped, but it is not a beach, it's just like after a bombing, you can break your legs. A stack of sunbeds, dead beach umbrellas that don't even hold up normally and are all torn. About what is written, beer on the beach, etc., this is not there, there are no towels for rent, as stated, either. There is also no connection with the administrator from the room, but sometimes it is very lacking. The water is constantly turned off, then in the morning, then in the afternoon, it was the same with electricity. I have not encountered this problem even in Crimea. The staff doesn't give a damn about you on a big occasion, although there was a problem with the sewer, as they designated it, they immediately solved it. There is rudeness and indifference in the dining room, then there are no plates, then appliances, then glasses, everything has to stand waiting, the crush, the placement of dishes and racks with them is not thought out, everything is scattered, people with trays, plates, children rush between the racks, creating a crowd and a crush, the dishes are not signed, where is what porridge it is unclear, it turned out that there was porridge on the water for breakfast, but you need to find it yourself. But there is also a pleasant thing, it's a nice big and clean pool, the playground is rotten in places around it and sooo tired. A bar with local drinks and snacks. However, after trying the drinks once, I stopped only at beer later, chacha and wine are so sooo diluted, the bartenders are far from sober at the counter.
Here many people write this is not Turkey for you, but not who does not ask Turkey, let them do everything beautifully and for people, and not stupidly just pumping out money, traveling with a family for such an amount, we expected the best, and yes, one undoubted plus is a bakery next to the hotel, through which the exit to the city, there are always fresh delicious pastries, delicious fresh food, etc., that's 5 plus for her!!!!
I do not know who writes positive reviews, probably those who are constantly like cockroaches cruising from the bar to the pool and back. It is noticeable from the satisfied look that everything is OK with them))) and the rest was a success.
Everything is terrible!!! We had a rest in the middle of August. I do not know how this hotel can cause delight or positive reviews from people! Everything is bad, starting with the sour, dissatisfied faces of the hotel staff and the lobby bar, ending with the canteen. This is not a buffet meal, this is a specific road eatery, there are no appliances, no glasses, glasses, etc. The food itself is for 3, we ate where we could in recent days. Animation- the girls are great, the guy is just sitting on his ass. The beach is far away, it is very difficult to walk with children in the heat. Everyone in this hotel is sick, one sign on the "Dining Room" is worth it. In general, Abkhazia pleases only with the sea. The local population, including the staff, are poorly received, although, I'm sorry, they live and survive at the expense of tourists. My advice is, if you go to Abkhazia, consider the private sector, it will be cheaper and more reliable
We rested from 07/08/2023 to 07/15/2023 at the Europa Hotel. The room was on the 2nd floor, without a balcony, Beautiful mountain view.A room with two single beds, I was vacationing with an adult daughter, we ordered separate beds ourselves.The room is clean and the furniture is new. TV, refrigerator. Hair dryer.there is no safe in the room. A kettle, an iron on the floor, they took it when they needed it without any problems. The room was cleaned almost every day, the linen was changed 1 time in 7 nights.The staff is polite and helpful. In the dining room, the food is varied, meat, fish, chicken every day, pancakes, dumplings, a variety of salads.The sweet table is monotonous, but you can choose fruits. : peaches, apples, watermelon.There is always something to choose. The dishes were sometimes wet but clean, there are a lot of napkins, you can wipe them.I was wiping. Many people were sick with Rotovir, we did not get sick, we washed our hands often. The pool is large, there are a lot of children in it, but it is deep enough to swim.There is a beach from the hotel but few rods. It is better to come early to take a staff with an umbrella, for European guests it is free. The location of the hotel is not bad, in Novaya Gagra, 7 minutes to the beach, 15 minutes to the promenade along the embankment.I recommend you to rest.
Good afternoon! What I want to say is, as they write, everything is there, of course, but there are more disadvantages in it."! The rooms are good, this is probably the only plus! As they write, the first coast is not true, you need to walk 6-7 minutes to your own beach, but while you are walking, you can turn your legs off as if after the war even. As they say, brunch, grilled sweets, cotton candy, everything by the hour and strictly one dish in one hand, French fries are not possible! The cake and cookies are of the same type on a daily basis from drinks wine and beer, but unfortunately we do not drink and without alcoholic beverages they can only offer water, as I was told. Meals for 3 days and I don't want to go to the dining room anymore, everyone who is hungry before 13:00 is not allowed even in one minute, everyone stands in line like herds of sheep.... For breakfast, lunch and dinner, everything is the same, too, no variety! As I answered, the only advantages are the room and the location of the hotel near markets, shops, etc.... I talked to 10 people more dexterously and from all of them we heard only 1 more foot here.
In September 2024, we visited the Europa Hotel, there are more minuses than pluses.The food is monotonous, the room is normal, but we did not wait for the cleaning, for 7 days of stay,linen,towels were not changed, we will not come to this hotel anymore 😤🫢
A complete discrepancy in the cost of the service. I really regretted that I paid for everything included. The lobby bar serves the cheapest and most monotonous. It's acceptable in the dining room. There are no dishes in the rooms at all, there is only one kettle per floor and it is also never there. Intestinal infection is rampant and does not spare anyone. The pool is clean only from Saturday to Monday, then it blooms. Before the new race on Saturday, it will be cleaned again for 3 days. The sea is 600m away through dust and heat. The staff is nervous.
We rested from 23.04 to 30.04.2022. The hotel is very nice, beautiful, instagrammable - the photos turn out great! Everything is new, clean, the room is cleaned every day, the staff is friendly, smiling, hospitable, they will always help with everything, tell you where it is better to go for a walk, call a taxi at the cheapest prices - much cheaper than I myself found through Google. Separately, I would like to mention the heated pool, the water is very warm, it is large, beautiful, with lighting - hello to the staff of the pool area, you are very cool, thank you for everything 🤍
Delicious and varied food, excellent Wi-Fi, much better than in Turkish hotels. Of the minuses, the bar started working only on the day of our departure, because it was not the season), but this has its advantages - there are very few people before the May holidays - both in the hotel and throughout Abkhazia.
I sincerely recommend the Europa Hotel - it has Beauty, Love and Soul
A good hotel, the food is without special frills, but there is a variety, delicious, even at home, the rooms are clean, regular service. There is a small bar where you can buy various drinks and order cocktails. There is a large swimming pool with a children's area in the courtyard, the water is warm and clean

We had a rest from May 17 to May 24, 2024. The hotel is very nice. The staff is polite and helpful. A 2-room room, it's just super for families with children. The food is delicious and varied. Alcoholic drinks, fruit drinks, tea, coffee, grill, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn and much more at the bar near the pool. The pool is heated and large, there were enough sun beds for everyone. Pharmacy, shops, market, dolphinarium, sea, everything is nearby. We had a 100% rest. Thank you.
They were supposed to live from 22 to 29. But we moved out early. There is no service. I did not expect service from the hotel as in a 5-star hotel. But I waited for the banal cleaning of the room, the replacement of towels as usual. Towels have never been changed during the 6 days of stay.when the maid was found asking for a change, she said that there were simply no towels. We brought hygiene items with us, but we didn't even think about dragging toilet paper with us. Long-term vacation. Wasted money, and a lot of it
Disgusting. I don't even want to comment. There are much better hotels in Abkhazia and the price tag is lower. If you don't want to spoil your mood and rest, don't choose this hotel! And the beach area is life-threatening. The staff is not responsive, rude. Very unpleasant sensations.
A terrible hotel with green water in the pool. The kitchen is monotonous and bland, the staff was recruited randomly, there is no proper communication and qualifications. The only good thing is that we went in November for a small amount. If you look at the prices in the season, the hotel does not match at all.
A great hotel for its price. Someone wrote here about rudeness on the part of the staff. This is utter nonsense! Everything is polite and cultured, the pool is cleaned every day (if it doesn't rain) The food is monotonous, of course, but you won't be hungry. Everything is quite edible. Cleaning every day. About the rotovirus. Well, it's not about the hotel. This is a problem of the entire Black Sea coast. The rules are simple. Do not drink tap water, and even more so do not drink from the sea!))) We liked it. And believe me, we have something to compare it with. It meets all the parameters for its money.
We rested in this hotel with my mother from 15.09.23 to 25.09.23!
1. I am a vegetarian, in general, with this type of food I always had something to eat!
2. At first, the attention of the male part of the staff was straining, but then we became friends with the guys)
3. I really liked the girl asking for the room number in the dining room, very polite, while it is clear that she has a character)
4. I think that many people were stressed out that everyone went through rotavirus 😂🫂 a real epidemic 😂😂
5. The rooms are clean, the decoration is of course made a blunder, oh, this economy 🥹
6. The maid was there every day, it even bothered me, I don't like it when my bed is touched, so I had to make it myself. Although I like the mess on the bed more!
7. I was definitely not satisfied with the pillow! If you leave the old ones, I need at least 2!
8. There are still not enough beach towels! I think this is a growth point for the hotel!
9. I was surprised that there were separate dryers for each room!
10. The observation room on the 11th floor is very cool!
11. Sofas near elevators are my dream! The beige one I want to go home! Drowning in it was awesome!
12. I swam in the pool 1 time, because I prefer the sea. But honestly it pisses me off that these frogs are everywhere. I want to dive! But for those who have children - just right!
13. The territory of the hotel is large, clean, over time there will be more trees and greenery - it will be very cool!
Well, finally I want to get to the main thing, for which I gave this place 5⭐️
These are animators!
Rodion and Danya!
I don't know if I could even remember this vacation as something special if it weren't for these guys!
It all started with the mafia on my first day of vacation!
Probably, these 9 evenings (1 fell out due to rotavirus) are the warmest memory of the time on the territory of the hotel!
Then I joined Rodion's breathing practices! I love such events - it was very cool! The sunset sun, the breeze gently enveloping the air warmed during the day, the view of the sea and mountains, and the soothing voice of the leading practitioner! Then there was a 15-minute meditation! Immersion in a state of peace and balance! And then I ran to the sea at sunset! With my hand on my heart, I can say that I lived my best life in these moments!
After practicing breathing, my mother dragged me to an oratorical lesson, which was also conducted by Rodion! For me, this is a way out of my comfort zone and a challenge to myself. I can't say that I really liked it - because I was very worried, but it was definitely a useful experience for me and I discovered the zone of my development and learned something useful that can be applied in life! Rodion, thank you,
In the last 2 days I was persuaded to visit a disco! On my last day of rest, I was the first and only one to arrive on time by 21.00 (it seems) and Rodion and I arranged a disco just for the two of us, although it lasted only 4 songs, then the rest of the people pulled up! But these were the most fun 4 songs! We had such a great time on the deck, danced with the dancers on the balcony, went crazy! Thanks for Leontiev, by the way! In general, I was just soaking wet after this diskacha 😅😂 thank you! It was awesome!
Then there was the mafia 🩷
Many thanks to the guys for their positive attitude, for their openness, responsiveness and sincerity, For their talents, for their ability to always remain joyful! I'm sure it's very hard! You guys have made these 10 days filled with very pleasant memories! I want to embrace you both with all the hugs of the world for your warmth, sincerity, jokes, and the fun that you give!
If it wasn't for the sea, I would have attended all the other events! Because, watching your group in the cart, I really wanted to do exercises, play board games and paint the decorations!
I also want to send greetings to everyone who played mafia: Tatiana maniac, Elena the most peaceful resident, Svetlana barber, Tatiana clan, Artem Armature, Alexey alcoholic, Roman, Janetka-coin, Alexander, Roma from Yekaterinburg, Yura, Vlad, Ksyusha, Inna, Diana, Vasgen, Olga, Anna, Eugene, Elena! And to everyone I didn't name and who played with me 🩷🫂🙏🏻
Only food remained from the photo)
Thanks!
With love, L.
We have been resting in this hotel since 4.10.23.The hotel is new, inside it is quite 3-star corresponds. The staff is friendly, the sea is great. But:
-the beach is not equipped, the only cabin for changing clothes, there are not even hooks,
-the most important thing is the dining room, intestinal flu and rotovirus, according to the doctor since August, the hotel has been working, people including us are sick with this infection, they were not sent to the hospital for a little, the temperature is under 39 degrees, in as a result, we do not go to the dining room, saving for the hotel.
They are poisoned in the dining room, most of the people in the hotel suffer from Rotavirus (I am also on this list). You can not dive in the pool and generally fully spend your vacation (or rather swim), since you are being watched and your every movement is controlled, which is not very comfortable. Regarding WIFI in this hotel, this is a disaster!! Because you have to run all over the hotel and catch WIFI, but even if you catch it, then after 1 minute the WIFI will disappear again.
Based on the above, we can conclude that this hotel is not the best option in Abkhazia
Hello, this is not a vacation, but the circles of hell began the next day as we arrived, rotovirus and the child ended up in the hospital, both I and the child were on ivs, the hotel needed to beg for more towels and bed linen, they did not even give drinking water to the room, they needed to buy more food, but they all give the same thing, with cleaning, too, you need to ask to be cleaned, your own beach is just terrible, some cobblestones, how can you swim on such a beach, everywhere around the hotel there is no construction of any beauty 2 I put such a hotel, the whole hotel vomits and screams in a word, with whom we met here, everyone has one negative about the hotel HORROR, I do not know from where they take good reviews, it's just a horror and not a hotel
SPOILED VACATION
2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at this hotel for a week in August 2023.
CHECK-IN
Here we can say we were lucky, as we arrived at the hotel at 7 pm, the rooms were given immediately, we did not have to wait.
Number
We booked two standard rooms with mountain views, one for ourselves, the other for children. Lucky again.They gave us two rooms on the same 7th floor. The rooms are normal, pretty clean, beautiful view. The beds don't seem to be bad, but the mattresses are very soft, but the bed linen is terrifying, yellow, in places with indelible stains, with a musty smell. The towels are also not white, washed. .Apparently they wash without bleach, well, without disinfection, of course. Sleeping is disgusting.It's strange to see such underwear in a new hotel. It looks like it was taken from Grandma's chests. There are no shelves in the cabinets, only a clothes rack and 3 hangers.1 chair and an oilcloth stool (we put it in the bathroom, since there are no shelves in the bathroom)
in general, there is simply nowhere to put shampoo, gel, soap) There are also no bedspreads on the beds.
The Internet in our room did not catch at all, the children in the room (near the elevator) surprisingly worked pretty well. They give one bottle of water to the room upon arrival, then buy it yourself. There is a kettle and an ironing board on the floor.
meal
Food is the biggest sadness in this hotel. Let's start with the dining room, namely with the "dining room" in the worst form, well, not a restaurant, as it says on the hotel's website. The dining room is located in a separate room and looks very similar to the utility room of Pyaterochka. It seems to me that initially, this building was built for these purposes - a utility room. But, apparently, in order to open up and sell vouchers faster, they decided to make a dining room out of this building. There are 3 halls in the dining room , 2 of them are even more or less , and the third is generally terrible with a musty smell , duct pipes overhead and ugly tiles on the floor. The furniture is normal, wooden tables and chairs, they are being wiped. The dishes need to be cleaned by themselves (put on a special table), while the so-called dining room staff stands and does nothing. All dishes are greasy, washed simply with water, without any detergents, 80% of all dishes are chipped and cracked, with leftovers. The horror! It is unclear where such old dishes come from in the new hotel.There is a constant pandemonium around the door in the dining room, since there is only one door and vacationers come and go through it to take food or bring dirty plates from other halls after themselves.Very inconvenient!
The food that is served there cannot be called FOOD. Not only was it cold and tasteless, but it was often just spoiled. For example, at lunch, an Olivier-type salad was served, from which a sour smell emanated a mile away, chopped tomatoes were just a mess, the chicken was piled high and very unappetizing. Only boiled potatoes looked normal. BUT it was always cold and unsalted. The bread was in a large plastic box, the cheapest, gray "steppe". The fruits are all overripe and rotten .They gave 2 times soft half-rotted plums, 2 times overripe watermelon and 2 times apples, cut into chunks, all darkened and cherished. Of the drinks, only highly diluted rose krakate, tea with lemon and just water. BUT the scariest thing is the green FLIES that crawl on the food. These flies were constantly sitting on fruits, biscuits and floating in a plate with condensed milk and tangerine jam. The staff caught them .It's just creepy. There seemed to be some choice for breakfast, porridge could still be eaten, but cheese is not cheese, but a cheese product, tasteless pancakes, dumplings with rubber potatoes. In general, I have not seen such food even in the worst canteens.Even as we approached the dining room, we had a sickening lump in our throat. We could only eat milk porridge, boiled potatoes and tea with lemon. Knowing which country we were going to, we took all precautions, constantly drank enterol for prevention, poured probably a liter of antiseptic on ourselves, wiped both the table and the cutlery.They didn't even put their face in the water in the sea, so as not to accidentally take a sip of water, they didn't eat anywhere outside the hotel. AND THEY POISONED THEMSELVES in the dining room. The first time we were poisoned with watermelon (all except my daughter, who did not eat them), and on the last day stuffed zucchini was served for dinner, my daughter and I ate them and the effects of poisoning were immediately manifested on the train.
It was a horror, it was good that they were traveling in a compartment with only their family.

Knowing that in Abkhazia all sewers merge into the sea, the first thing we did when we came to the beach, we looked around and were HORRIFIED, we saw that nearby, a few meters from the beach of Europe, not a small streamlet flows into the sea, but a stormy river with a powerful flow of yellow-brown color. It's just trash.The sewage drain is a few meters from the beach of the hotel.! It's just mind-boggling how this can be. Naturally, we did not swim on this beach, but went further away, to the wild beach behind the Aquamarine hotel. The water there was more or less clean.
territory
The territory is empty, a lot of trees have been planted, but nothing has grown yet, there is no shade anywhere. There are benches, but they are all occupied by smokers.
swimming pool
We did not swim in the pool, we were confused by the strange color of the water-some kind of cloudy, not transparent, apparently, besides chlorine, some other chemistry was added.
animation
Very sluggish, there is practically none.
RECEPTION
As already mentioned in other reviews, the staff is very unfriendly and indifferent. We had a late train, we were asked to extend the room, since there is no luggage storage for suitcases, and where to go in 35 degree heat in the afternoon, they refused us, saying that there are no rooms and other people should come to our room. We had to urgently book a room with a tour operator for 1 day (when booking rooms, there were plenty of different categories).So I had to pay 9 thousand to stay in my room for a few more hours.
In general, think before you go to this hotel, for a lot of money (5 thousand per day per person)We just suffered counting the days until we left. Europe has ruined our whole impression of Abkhazia, we will not come here again.
An excellent hotel for a family holiday. The children are delighted with the pool and the observation deck on the 11th floor. The rooms are acceptable, cleaning every day. The beach is a bit far, but the hike to it is worth it. A small eucalyptus park along the way, wonderfully relaxes with its fragrance, warmed by the southern sun.
It started at the entrance to the hotel, I have never seen more rude staff anywhere, although I often go on business trips! There is dirt in the room, someone's nails are in the towel, hair is everywhere on the bed and on the bed! Disposable soaps and shampoos have been seen only once! No one changed the bed linen and towels for 7 days! When asked to do the cleaning, they simply turned the sign on the door to "do not disturb"! On the second day of the so-called rest, according to local tradition, we felt all the delights of rotovirus infection, taking into account the fact that even the cutlery we brought with us was wiped with alcohol napkins and during this time we did not have time to leave the hotel! As it turned out later, this fate befalls all arrivals! When asked to call an ambulance at the reception, we received in response we go to the hospital ourselves, the ambulance does not come for rotovirus! For 2 days, vomiting and diarrhea with high fever did not leave us and, taking into account the two bathrooms, a queue formed in our room!
After it seemed to us that everything was over, we began to visit the buffet, where the same food is served day after day and it all tastes the same, flies and unsanitary conditions everywhere! Upon departure from the hotel and all the way home, we did not miss more than one toilet! A doctor was called to the house today! And to our surprise, the doctor on duty shared with us the same story as last year they visited the vaunted Europa Hotel with the same result! After reading the reviews on the forums, it turned out that the situation is the same from year to year, one to one, dirt, food for the same taste and rotovirus as a gift!
And the question of the competence of the tour operator is brewing!
We rested here with my mother alone, the hotel room is good, the air conditioning is working. But there were a lot of problems with hot water, electricity and wifi(
The food in the dining room is ordinary, it is strange that the fruits were not ripe, although it was the season. There is a good swimming pool on site (maximum 160cm), but the rest of the entertainment is tight. Almost all the hammocks were broken or stretched. But it gives an incentive to go on excursions more often and go out into the city. Of course Abkhazia is cool, the climate is warm, humid but not stuffy, the Black Sea is certainly not the cleanest - there were often jellyfish near the shore, various garbage.
In general, the hotel is good, if you need a place where you can eat and sleep, as well as a place from which you can walk to the sea, then it will suit you) Abkhazia in the heart of ❤
I would like to leave an unbiased review. We had a vacation in August with a child. Well, the hotel does not pull for 4 stars. On the plus side: animation, great pool, good staff. Plus the view from the window. Cons: if you take a view of the mountains from the window, then teach that in the evening there will be music from the cafe, until 11 o'clock.loudly. The food is monotonous, for lunch and dinner it is the same, on the third day he can no longer see potatoes, pasta, etc. Everything is very boring. The territory is not large. The beach is far away, there is a nearby beach but it is public. Moreover, next to a separate beach there is some kind of incomprehensibly stringy river. Bottom line: for Abkhazia, the hotel is not worth the money, it is expensive.
Low score for services.
Everything is included, including locally produced alcohol - horror, white/ red wine is positioned as semi-sweet, the "sourness" is complete, it is not possible to drink. It's the same with Chacha.
The kitchen has not changed in 10 days, compared with the dining room under the USSR, you can eat for the first 2 days, then every day at least do not go to eat. The same 3 meals every day. The only plus is fruits, fresh and delicious.
They often ate outside, or ordered pizza or bought something at a cafe/bakery/market.
The bathroom and the room "stank" of smoking every day, the complaint was never resolved.
The only thing, thanks to the maid, is always cleaned in the room, she will ask and provide.
The pool is fine and there are enough sun beds.
The beach is a 7-10 minute walk away.

January 19
It's a nice hotel with cozy rooms. 5 minutes from the sea. The rooms have everything you need, including a heater and air conditioning. Some rooms are on the ground floor with direct access to the outdoor pool. We swam in the pool on January 1st, the water is warm. I liked everything except the check-in, which was long and clueless.
We had an economy room. The air conditioner was not working. It was very hot in the room. At night, when the window was opened, a lot of mosquitoes flew in and bit us. The toilet was broken - water was constantly running out of it and making noise. The pool looked very dirty from the outside. My child and mother were poisoned in the dining room and did not feel well. The food in the dining room is quite good, apart from poisoning. Several people came up to me and also complained about poisoning. Beer and wine of questionable taste and smell.
Even , the Europa Hotel does not deserve a unit , we live for 7 days , there are three more days left before we live before that , every day there is no diarrhea so scrofula , it pours into all holes , the temperature , they laid out such money , to the crooks who slipped this voucher
I will never forget my trip to Gagra. What to say. Unfortunately, I can't say anything good.The Europa hotel is terrible. we arrived in Gagry at 8:00 . but we were only checked in at 14:00. After such a road . few people were interested. That we were tired. OK. Then the rooms are cleaned poorly. The sheets have never been changed in 10 days. Towels. There was a number 2+2. Two single beds and a cot bed with an uncomfortable thin axe. The toilet stinks. They never washed it . shower also . no electric kettles. There are no coolers with water .. The all-inclusive system is at the level of a cheap dining room. They paid 860000 rubles for a ticket and his incomprehensible cheap food. No cakes of any kind . The biscuits are slightly different each time. Coffee is the cheapest. Sausage. Sausages are an economical option . 100 rubles per piece . the beer is sour . in general, it's terrible. The beach from the hotel is not equipped normally. They stick out. Iron pins. Small pebbles drown up to your knees. You go to the beach itself , there is garbage everywhere. trash. As in the USSR during the period of devastation. The impression is terrible. It 's better to go to your resort. Yes, the sea is azure. The nature is beautiful. That's it.
I do not recommend visiting Abkhazia at all. Rotovirus is in full swing!! I just arrived yesterday. I lived at the Europa Hotel. There was no water for 3 days for 3 days. Early in the morning or late at night. Just to flush the toilets. To get to the paramedic's office, you need to stand in line for an hour. Vacationers, I witnessed this, wrote a statement that they were leaving earlier, taking certificates why they were leaving, for the travel agency.. That's horrible. There are no showers or toilets on the beach. You come to the hotel from the sea, but there is no water to wash yourself. And if you've got rotovirus.? But the choice is yours.
The hotel is bad.
Many rooms do not have air conditioning, hair dryer, or even water.Some of the staff does not respect their customers.On the second day of our stay at the hotel, we had rotavirus, we stayed in the room for two days, the doctor didn't talk about anything, we had to go to the hospital and drip.Pigeons are flying in the dining room, the plates are poorly washed, the main cause of rotavirus is the dining room of this hotel.Half of the hotel has rotavirus.There are no wardrobes in the rooms.The mirror is bad.The wallpaper is weird.There is a hook sticking out of the ceiling, the plaster may collapse.The curtains are dirty.There is a dangerous step on the balcony.In the dining room, as if there are special imperceptible rises to fall with food.Wi-Fi is not very good.The water in the toilets is brown.The food in the dining room is weak.It's dangerous to swim in the pool, you swallow water, you immediately vomit.The animation is so-so.The disco area still needs to be improved.The beach consists of ruins, there are pins, there is no bar near the beach.In general, I do not recommend the hotel!If you value your health, then you should not go there.
I'm currently in a hotel, some kind of chaos, they can't check in, the groups are checking in, and we're sitting waiting, there's no kettle in the room, there's two services, it's a long way to the sea, there's dirt and debris on the beach, there's no drinking water even on the floor, the pool is cold. I do not recommend staying at this hotel, let's see what else they serve here.
Food - the food is monotonous and there is very little choice. In the dining room, the dishes are not signed, so people look into bowls of soups and porridges. There are no salt shakers and napkins on the tables. Naturally, people take salt and pepper with their hands (while at the rotavirus hotel), you clean the plates yourself, alcohol is prohibited in the dining room. We haven't been there at all for the last week. For the first two days there was no water in the hotel and there was not even tea in the dining room.
The all-inclusive Abkhazian bar is chacha, wine and beer. The beer is generally not bad. Compote for kids, but it's not delicious, the usual ice cream is a cup. Snacks at the bar are prepared in advance, ostensibly in order to avoid queues, but you can imagine the taste of French fries that stand there for several hours, a burger is just a cutlet with a bun, tomato, cucumber, etc. are missing from it.
The pool is a good large pool with warm water, the bottom of the pool is not smooth, there are enough shizlong, but there are about 10-12 umbrellas for the entire pool and then everything is in terrible condition. In order not to burn out from the sun, you must first occupy it in advance and then keep it, otherwise it will fly away and God forbid it will not get into someone's head.
Beach - walk to the beach for about 7 minutes. It is necessary to walk through the ruins, the construction site, through a pile of junk and garbage. There is not much space on the beach, you need to come early, umbrellas on the sea are just a horror even worse than by the pool. There is not even a toilet on the beach (everyone understands where they relieve themselves), there is no question about a bar.
The service and staff- the room as a whole is not bad, there are no shelves in the bathroom, shampoos were put on the floor, there is nowhere to put toothbrushes either.
There are no beach towels in the hotel. Regular towels are changed for 3 days, not counting the day of arrival, but this is only in theory. In fact, on the 5th day, I understood the towels with the scandal. It turns out that they are simply not enough, similarly with a change of underwear.
For the first two days there was no water from the word at all. When the people came down to the reception, we were told that there was no water in the whole city. We immediately went to the store to get drinking water and all the people standing in line said that there was and is water.
Rotavirus in the hotel is generally a separate story, everyone is sick from the elderly to children, even if you drink medicines in advance, even if you are lying down anyway.
Animation and other entertainment- and they just don't exist. The children's room does not even have tables and chairs, what can we even talk about then. Animators are not clear what they get paid for, they are not visible or audible. There is no equipment, there is practically no music by the pool. The evening program??? Apparently, the animators have never heard of her at all. In the evening, people entertain themselves. Wi-Fi in the territory is terrible, so think in advance about your mobile operator's connection with the outside world.
The hotel has a tour guide, we decided to book a trip to Lake Ritsa from her, as a result, a minibus without air conditioning and a guide who talked about politics half the way.
If it weren't for the company that gathered here, we would have died of boredom and rotavirus.
There is a paid bar at the reception, I make cocktails, there are snacks, ice cream, etc. Timur the bartender , the staff in the communal bar is also responsive. The head of the security service is a very responsive person, he will always help. Special thanks to him 🤝
In general, I do not recommend the hotel, I have never seen a worse hotel, considering that we often rested in our south on an all-inclusive system
We stayed there last year, the rooms are clean and cozy. The staff is friendly. Wonderful coffee is brewed on the 1st floor. Next time we want to check into this hotel again
We rested at the hotel from 30.08.2023 to 08.09.2023. The rest was a success. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are clean, the rooms are cleaned every day.the food is excellent, the assortment is large, the food is very tasty, the service is polite. I advise you to relax in this hotel..
I also want to leave a review about the Europa Hotel. It was the most terrible vacation of my life. Think a million times before you go there. Starting with the maintenance staff. When my husband asked for a room with a mountain view, they looked at him like a piece of I won't say what.....On the second day, they got sick with rotovirus. Thank God we went to the hospital, at least it got a little easier. (Children 2600 IV + medicines 500 rubles, adults 3000) the queue at the hospital is also large, we definitely sat for about an hour. But at least the medical staff is normal.The neighbors are talking among themselves about this rotovirus, rather than discussing the sights. And every day we see how they run to the pharmacy and carry this enterosgel. If you mess up, wash it yourself or a fine. I actually sat down here.How many times have we rested for the first time. Before that, other hotels silently changed the linen. For such money, you can also wash their clothes👍 The food is monotonous, nothing is really signed, flies fly and land on the food. Of course, the sanitation is complete. It's just terrible. The beach is just tin, it still needs to be reached, the umbrellas are broken, torn. Either you go through the devastation (some stones or through some garbage dump or construction site, I didn't see the difference)The Internet does not catch at all. More than me in the corridor, and then you have to walk and find the point where he will catch more or less. The bar is good, well, it's good... the hamburger is so good, well, in short, only the beer is delicious, well, it went to me, but because of the rotovirus they didn't drink much. There is also no special help from the medical center, why is he there? Well, though, what will he do alone for the whole hotel, which is all rotovirus. I wonder what's in his orange suitcase? Even if there is no elementary thermometer , judging by the comments above. Purely for the sake of appearance, a suitcase. But how the paramedic runs with this suitcase is purely necessary for the Olympics.It feels like it's empty. I am a doctor myself and I know that if a suitcase is packed with all the medicines, etc., you can't run around with it.
We had a family vacation in early June, we are very satisfied. The rooms are clean, the food is excellent, there is an entertainment program for children and adults, the staff is polite and friendly, the sea is next to its beach, a heated swimming pool. I recommend this place to everyone, we will definitely come to you again!)
In short, the vacation was not a success, upon arrival at the hotel we went to see the area (arrived early),at 10:00 Moscow time we were registered, we were given bracelets, check-in at 14:00, went to sit at the bar, strangely, there was no lemonade (although stated), at 13:00 we passed at lunch, where they began to swear at me and did not want to let me in because I was in a top and shorts (it says that swimsuits are not allowed), for a few minutes proving that this is not a swimsuit, not willingly, but they let me in, we go into the dining room, take a drink, and the machine does not work,I went to the second one, hooray! There is, but it was enough for 1 glass, the glasses were broken, we went to get the keys, got into the room, BUT there is no water at all, and we got off the train at 5 in the morning and really wanted to take a shower and go to the sea, we failed.On the second day, we were again faced with the fact that there is no beer at the lobby bar, there is no water in the room again, the elevator temporarily did not work. There were very often no drinks at the bar, as well as in the dining room.At the end of the vacation, I say with confidence, do not wait for water every day, at the right moments, it will be turned off, the hotel will treat you not as guests, but as inhumans, the staff does not know what a smile, greeting and, in principle, etiquette, I do not recommend this hotel to those who want to leave satisfiedand not with frayed nerves.
This is probably a normal hotel for Abkhazia. And so the hotel is big and beautiful. The service is a big minus. We went in early August. As a result, the water was turned off every day, no one can really explain the reason. According to the bar, this is a separate topic. As such drinks can be drunk, they are invigorated to such a state that it is not possible to drink. If you want to have a delicious meal and have a good rest, then you are not here. Have a nice trip!!
We stayed at this hotel at the end of July 2024.
Cons:
-unstable wi-fi
-constant unpleasant odor in the bathroom of the room, most likely from ventilation
- the shower head was broken
-there is nowhere to put bathroom accessories, toothbrushes were lying on the sink all the time, shampoos and shower gels were on the floor in the shower, soap was put on the faucet, it was filled with water all the time
- towels are given out one per person and one for legs for two, but they are not changed, so it is better to take your towels with you to this hotel too, if you do not want to use smelly ones by the end of your vacation
- they tried to insert a USB flash drive into the TV, they wanted to watch their movies downloaded to it, the TV just didn't see it) I had to watch TV channels...
-the hair dryer is bad in the room, it may be suitable for very short hair, but it will not dry long raw hair
-carpets in the room are not very good for people with allergies, they are obviously not vacuumed every day
- dangerous food in the dining room. what people write about pigeons and sparrows flying right inside the building is true. we were poisoned on the 2nd day of our stay at the hotel.
- perhaps the poisoning was connected not only with the dining room, but also with the hotel pool in which we swam. It is clear that there are a lot of people swimming there and it can be unhygienic.
there are many reviews of people poisoned by rotavirus in this hotel, unfortunately, we are no exception. it was lucky that it did not last the whole vacation))
there is still such a moment - you can only be in a swimsuit on the territory of the pool. that is, you left the hotel in clothes worn on a swimsuit, swam, put clothes on a wet swimsuit, since there is nowhere to change, minus the clothes you get, and the laundry is paid.
-drinking water in the hotel, except for the time of meals in the dining room, is only paid
- the pebble beach of the hotel is not marked in any way, we were looking for it from a video of a girl who shot a video review of the hotel. the way to the beach certainly leaves much to be desired... the construction site is located almost on the beach itself. it seems like the embankment was washed away, so there are debris everywhere, fittings sticking out. while swimming, I saw 2 pieces of protruding rebar on the bottom. actually, it can be dangerous for vacationers, and suddenly someone gets stuck in the leg... on a day when the waves were bigger than usual, the deck chairs were not just pushed away (there is nowhere, there is a staircase), they were removed to the space above the stairs. of course, you can leave your beach things on a chaise longue, but when swimming they will be out of your field of vision, or leave them on the stairs, but then if you want to lie on a chaise longue after swimming, you need to carry everything up the stairs every time it turns out. we just ended up sitting on the stairs, without a chaise longue that day.
I also noticed that a river flows on the way to the beach, I just hope that this is not waste flowing into the sea...
- next to the hotel, the market is a rather dirty area, all kinds of garbage were piled there every day, in combination with construction sites, the view does not work very well.
- be careful, gypsies walk near the hotel (and not only, there are many places in general), they offer to tie threads on their hands, they breed for money, a little girl divorced us for 1800 rubles, although we seem not so stupid). due to the fact that she was small, and we had a good relaxed mood, we did not immediately understand what was happening : (then many times we watched this picture of tying a sucker's bracelet to a tourist ...
schemes with threads and wish papers - this is probably their standard. By the way, I will also include men who are trying to take off your headdress, offering to put on their Caucasian hat and demanding money for it, thank God we did not fall for this (this mainly happens on excursions).
With the experience I have gained, I would rather choose a smaller hotel or a room in the house, with more hygienic food conditions, maybe with the opportunity to cook something on my own. we were lucky, the poisoning did not take us a whole vacation, but only 2 days, but in general, sitting in a room for 2 days is also a significant loss of time). We paid for the all-inclusive system, but it turned out that not everything was included. It is clear that there are advantages to rest, of course, I wrote about the disadvantages, as it can be useful for those who are going to spend their holidays at this hotel
