It has been for several years in a row, every year the territory is getting worse,there is no care for the plants, the food is so-so,all pork dishes,for a lot of money service for 1.
We rested from September 4 to 15. I liked almost everything. It was even better than expected. Minus, the audibility in the bathroom is 95 percent. The fact that almost everyone was sick with rotovirus is not the fault of the boarding house. In Abkhazia, almost all visitors suffer from it. Therefore, five days of rest will not be enough, because a day or three will be spent on illness. The sea is the purest! The food is of good quality! People are very friendly. If they are rude, they are not Abkhazians! We had a wonderful maid, Madina, who works conscientiously! I would like to come here again!
Advantages: close location to the sea, beautiful nature of Abkhazia, not a large, but very beautiful territory of the boarding house. Delicious food in the dining room.
Minuses:
1. Dear management of the boarding house, consider the issue of mosquito nets in the rooms! as I was told at the reception, you can't turn on the light in the evening and open the balcony, because if you wanted to turn on the light in the evening when you came to the room, and ventilate the room before going to bed (already with the lights off), then your whole room will be filled with fly-ants. They will be everywhere on the ceiling and on the bed... Of course, the room was ventilated without the light on, but if the light was turned on before the balcony opened, then all the living creatures will already be sitting in a dense layer on the balcony door!
It is not realistic to turn on the air conditioner for ventilation, because it hangs directly above your head and will blow directly at you, the room is small and there is nowhere to go.
That is, it turns out that you need to come to the room in the evening and walk along the walls without light by touch, so that you can ventilate the room before going to bed and not sleep in stuffiness.
2. Buy at least small hair dryers and kettles in the room (they can be bought for less than 1000 rubles.), it's an outrage that there is only 1 hair dryer and 1 kettle in a small room without a mirror for one building. Remove the kettle and hair dryer from the refrigerator. Premises are prohibited! The cost of living is not cheap, and the service is VERY lame!
3. Well, about wine for lunch - what kind of fermented raspberry-cherry compote is this! Indeed, as they wrote in the reviews earlier, it is better not to offer anything than to offer this!
Clean, quiet, cozy. The sea is 20 meters away, clean and warm. Beautiful park area. Large clean swimming pool. Delicious homemade food. I highly recommend it with children.
We went on vacation to this boarding house with the whole family for two years in a row. I want to say a huge thank you to the working staff. Everything is very nice and clean. The hospitality proves once again that the atmosphere there is favorable. The dining room has 100% variety in cooking. Wine. Fruit. In the second year of our arrival. We got an additional 15% discount. The beach is nearby. The sea is clear. I advise everyone.
Who wants to sleep peacefully, buy rooms with a view of the sea, and rooms with a view of the "mountains" highway and cafe, it's terrible the music is loud until 12 at night.The food is so-so, monotonous.And so it's more or less normal, but it's not worth the money, we paid 146 thousand for 10 days with a flight from St. Petersburg
I plan to give my own rating to each specific item. A very short summary at the end (buttered butter)
1. Food. 1-2/5
Breakfast - most of the food is mediocre. At the time of my arrival at the hotel, the most stable breakfast food was pancakes, but unfortunately they were not always there. Most of the cereals that are offered to choose from are completely tasteless. Once they managed to make a delicious rice porridge, but after a while they messed it up too
Lunch - here we cannot say that the situation has improved. The meat is either a little raw or too tough. Sweets are also not all delicious, but if you come 30 minutes later than the start of lunch, then you will not try sweets, because they will all be snatched up, and new ones will almost not be taken out. Salads can be consumed only those that are seasoned with mayonnaise. The rest will be laterals. Using my example, I will say that there was such a tasteless carrot with garlic that you probably can't even imagine such a thing. There are only empty side dishes and gravies to them, and all sorts of naval pasta and so on are also not bad
Dinner is a degraded version of lunch. There are no sweets, there are only empty rolls or rolls with a drop of jam. The salads are mostly carrots and beets dressed in oil, as well as several other mayonnaise salads. The rest of the dishes are a shadow of the dishes from lunch. There is less choice and, accordingly, the chance to eat normally is also less. To be honest, I didn't eat much for dinner. It wasn't a problem with my standard diet, but it's unlikely that other people will like this outcome of events.
2. Number. 3.5-4/5
We got one of the farthest rooms on the ground floor. The place was good, the room was clean, it was always cleaned. It was convenient that the cleaning of the room always coincided with our absence, so we hardly met with the cleaner. The minus, which is worth saying that if you want not to clean the room on a certain day, then it is unlikely that your wish will be fulfilled. The cleaners will come in there anyway, they will do something anyway, even if you don't want it.
I will also add two points to the minus: on the very first day of arrival, our room door was discharged, which is why we could not get into the room on our own through the card, we had to constantly call the girl from the reception (she opened the door for us with an ordinary key), we waited for the master until lunch, after which the door was repaired. Also, the second point is that the TV has been disabled. And all on the same first day, we solved the problem that appeared. Fortunately, they were resolved, but it was still unpleasant to face such inconveniences.
3. Territory. 2-3/5
There's not much to say about her. The territory is very small, let's just say that there is nowhere to photograph. I am glad that there is a working pool. There is also a bar behind the pool, but there is no point in going there, because literally (seriously, literally) there are several grocery stores across the street where you can buy almost anything you want (in fact, only these stores saved the situation)
4. The beach. 4/5.
It's probably the only good place. It is almost always tidied up, most often there are empty seats, the sun beds there are the most standard, nothing soft is attached.
A very short summary: I would not come to this hotel again. It's okay not to eat and have nothing to do here. It is better to look for something more pleasant for the eye and stomach.
It's all good. The food is delicious and quite varied. The territory is well maintained. The beach is pebbly. Garbage happens after a storm. The rooms are in order. The linen was changed every three days.
Good afternoon! We had a rest at the end of July 2023.
Of the advantages: close to the sea and its own beach, few people.
The service is very lame, everyone is angry and not friendly, the beach keeper yells at everyone all the time.
It feels like they don't need vacationers, for 10 days of rest 2 rolls of toilet paper, and 2 pieces of soap.
There is not even a water cooler.
It's better to keep quiet about food, what is stated and what is actually given....
The cleaners make it clear on the first day that they need to be given money, and then they sit on sofas all day and chat.

I liked the boarding house very clean. Nature beach😍 There were few people on the beach all the time. The food is always fresh and delicious, everything is homemade. Everything is nearby. We will definitely come back! 😍
Good afternoon. We are having a rest with our family. There are 4 of us, my husband and I, and two sons aged 19 and 10. A two-room suite. There is one bed and one sofa in the room, it is impossible to sleep on it. They brought a cot with a very thin mattress on it. Thanks to the maid, she brought more mattresses, which we put on a cot and a sofa. It got better.
Swimming pool. Today is the fifth day of our stay. The pool is getting dirtier every day. It has never been cleaned. The reception said that there is no person who used to do this now.
Food. Very small selection and not tasty. Elementary, there is no drinking water, no compote, no juice for breakfast. Only boiling water, tea bags and coffee. Still warm milk for breakfast cereals. First, our children got sick, yesterday my husband, today me. Poisoning.
The territory is small and beautiful, but it is dirty everywhere, the paths are not swept, dry leaves are not cleaned. Apparently, there is no janitor either.
Wi-Fi is weak, even in the room it does not charge.
The price of accommodation does not correspond to the services provided. I don't advise anyone.
The boarding house is excellent. The rooms are renovated this year. Service for 5+.The buffet food is great. The boarding house exceeded all expectations. You won't regret coming. The sea is 50 meters away. Sun beds, umbrellas are all there and beach towels are provided!especially thanks to our maid Angela 1st building junior suite change of linen towels all in time!thanks to our guards Beslan and Vasilech for a good reception in the Caucasus!We left early in the morning and brought coffee !Thank you all!we arrived on 16.06 .22 we leave on 28.06 !g Yekaterinburg
The choice of food is very limited, every day all of the same type, but you definitely won't stay hungry. The rooms are very good, I did not even expect, Turkey is definitely not worse or even better. Old Gagra is for lovers of silence, there is nowhere to hang out at all, only silence in the morning at 4.00 the birds sing just super like Thailand. The territory is not large , but cozy . The rooms are cleaned POORLY, it doesn't matter if you leave a tip or not, on the penultimate day they didn't clean at all , they said that you were moving in tomorrow anyway, why clean? My wife and two children and I were shocked....Other staff like norms, the pool was also updated with norms. THIS IS A REAL REVIEW and it's up to you to decide. We were in June 2023, the sea was very dirty , it was raining and mudslides came down from the mountains ,
This is the first time in Abkhazia.I was in Turkey..in Sochi.Well, a lot of places.The rooms with sea view are good.If you have a mountain view, it's just a nightmare.the road is right under the windows.noise for days.plus the railway.It is impossible to sleep normally..There is no service.in the cheapest 3 in Turkey, you can't even compare, is it really impossible to provide plain water for such money?We arrived at one o'clock in the morning.There's not even a place to drink.The food is like in the dining room, although everything is fresh.The pros are nature: beautiful mountains and a nice beach.poorly populated.sun beds and umbrellas were enough for everyone.Good rooms in the 2nd building.with a new renovation.The pool is not cleaned.Maybe this is the norm for Abkhazia.because the hotel is packed.A spoiled vacation for a lot of money with a flight.
Everything is relative, you can live, the rooms are large, there is a bathtub in the bathroom! The beach is not very clean! It will be unlucky if the number is on the side of the road, fellow Abkhazians drive at night in their Japanese "powerful" Cars and honk endlessly, and DPS never go without beacons at all! Do not drink water from the tap and in the dining room, they say it is clean, but there are no wells there, this is city water. In the dining room, you can have a small selection, it's fine. Food poisoning is the norm in Abkhazia, the child was poisoned, they ate only in the dining room! Take Entofuril with you for sure
They were from July 5 to July 13, 2022. A cozy, peaceful hotel. Its own beach, there are always free umbrellas and sun beds at any time. The buffet is quite varied.not a very large well-maintained area. Polite staff. Daily room cleaning.
All 5 times (within 10 years) that I was in this country, stayed only in this place).
The location and food are great!!!
If I'm still there, then only there!!!
A nice family-run hotel. The food is average, but the staff is polite and responsive to the requests of the guests, which was important to us. A separate bow to the nurses of the medical center. I think it's no secret that rotovirus is raging in Abkhazia, so the presence of a medical center on the territory of the hotel saved us. Plus, the hotel has a convenient location and the city center is just around the corner.
We had a family vacation from 08/23/2019. Nice beach, rooms are constantly cleaned, delicious food, cool pool, the surrounding area is well maintained. If you take rooms, then only with a view of the sea, we stayed in a room with a view of the mountains, next to the road, everything is audible, in general we really liked everything, we will definitely come here again.
We rest here from July 17 to July 23, 2022. I was impressed by the well-groomed territory, blooming oleanders and magnolias, palm trees from tiny to huge. We got a room on the second floor of the 2nd building. Spacious, clean with two small balconies. Split, TV, mini fridge, set of towels - these are all the available delights of living in a room. It turned out that the room of our category (which one was not specified) did not have a hairdryer, kettle, dishes. A hair dryer, a kettle and an ironing board with an iron are on the floor, nothing can be taken to the room! There are 3 glasses available for us from the dishes. There are two small pieces of soap in the bathroom, nothing else. Thank you, at least there's plenty of toilet paper!
The room overlooks the mountains, or rather the road and shops on the opposite side. But the sounds didn't bother us: with the doors closed and the air conditioner running, you can't even hear the train!
I really want to thank our concierge! The sweetest woman, very friendly, treats like family! And in principle, all the staff, with the exception of the young ladies at the reception, are very complacent and friendly.
I would like to mention the dining room separately! Everything is deliciously cooked, everything is fresh, quite diverse, but the sweet table is especially exciting: delicious cakes and pastries, cookies, buns every day! Everything is fresh and incredibly delicious!!! They bake everything themselves!
In general, the kitchen, people, the gentle sea and nature more than covered the inconveniences of accommodation. If we decide to come here again, we'll just choose a suite and then everything will be fine!
By the way, rotavirus is walking everywhere here - stock up on medicines, since there is nowhere to buy them at night. In the afternoon - no problem (pharmacy opposite)
The boarding house is located on the first strip by the sea. Shops and cafes are within walking distance. The territory of the hotel is small, it has a dining room, SPA, Parking and a swimming pool (unfinished as of May 9). Considering the cost, the food in the dining room is quite tolerable. The room was a double room with a balcony and a view of the mountains, that is, in contrast to the sea, except for the road you will not see anything there, and you will not be able to keep the balcony open, since cars drive along the road at night as during the day - quite high traffic. The room has a TV, mini fridge, air conditioning (with mold under the blowing cover). Bed linen with holes and stains. The room is "cleaned" every day. The pebble beach with sand is clean, there are sun beds. The boarding house as a whole with a price-quality ratio of a solid three.
I liked the hotel, I liked the country. Now for the facts. The rooms have a sea view, the sea is not always visible, in some rooms on the 1st floor the view is blocked by trees. But it's quiet in them. Rooms with mountain views overlook the road. It is lively and noisy. Ropes are stretched on the balconies. Drying swimsuits and towels is not a problem. They are changed every 4 days. But everything is solved by an individual approach. The room has a refrigerator, air conditioning and furniture. A hairdryer and a kettle are on the floor, you can not take them to the room. The laundry works fine, the cost of washing is very small, the clothes will be returned clean and ironed. There is no coffee in the hotel. It's instant for breakfast. There is a cafe in the district, open from 7.30. Across the passage in the building of the abandoned train station, on the right, there is a dining room. Excellent coffee for 50 rubles. The pool is renovated, covered with a film, safe. The beach is big, rocky, you need slippers, they sell everywhere for 300 rubles. There are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas too. Take fumitox with you. There are shops and a pharmacy in front of the hotel. The dining room is open according to schedule, from 8.30 am breakfast, from 13.00 lunch, from 18.00 dinner, the food is simple but delicious. In the Soviet style. The staff is friendly and courteous if you treat them the same way. Excursions can be taken at the hotel, or you can choose anywhere else, at every step. Wi-Fi in the street, corridors and dining room works well, in rooms with varying success, free of charge. The water in the shower is not uniform, but it does not bother.
Overall, the price-quality ratio is excellent. This is not Turkey. All minor flaws are redeemed by nature and people. And you can always add comfort, for a little money.
We rested here several times, excellent location, the sea is close, competent staff, 3 meals a day in the dining room on the territory of the boarding house, near shops, pharmacy, cafes. It's not very far from the border. There are sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, there are few people. There is also a swimming pool, a medical center, several types of massage, you can book any tour. By the way, I highly recommend a trip on the boat "Handsome", the guide Fedor conducts an informative and fun tour.
We had a very good rest at this hotel in September 2022. Clean, well-groomed territory, delicious homemade food. There is a bakery. The sea is clear. We recommend visiting this wonderful place
The food menu is Soviet, and the method is foreign. (Buffet from the Russian dining room according to strict time). Lovely rooms, TV, bathtub, table, refrigerator, nice bed, big clean beach. You can't walk to the market. Minibuses and taxis are everywhere. There is no cure. Quiet rest.
Good location. Nice, clean pool. That's all of the advantages. Food is scarce, the beach is dirty after the rain. The beach was not cleaned for 3 days, and then only after several requests. The staff gritted their teeth. The child went to the salad. There was no water for a couple of days! It is very uncomfortable to sleep on mattresses. Definitely not worth the money.
Buffet, the choice is good. The rooms are clean, cleaned daily, bed linen is changed in two days. The territory is green, the beach is a 5-minute walk away, you can't go into the water without shoes, stones. The disadvantage is that everyone is infected with rotovirus, even local ones.
A good hotel has its own beach, its own territory with a swimming pool, three meals a day (I was pleased with the menu). The children are delighted for the second year. The pool has failed a little this year - it has bloomed, it is very good for children in it, but there is a sea 20 meters away. There is a volleyball court on the beach, the territory itself is well maintained.There is also a children's room where children spent time (trampoline, maze). It was possible to visit massage and beauty treatments.The presence of a tennis table made it possible to have a good time.Room cleaning and linen change at the highest level.Internet, which is important, refrigerator, air conditioning, kettle and parking on site.Many thanks to all the staff of the hotel.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE to the Administration and all the staff of the sanatorium!!! Excellent sanatorium! Despite the small size of the territory, everything is very comfortably organized: large rooms, air conditioning, refrigerator, kettle, huge balcony!!! The sea and mountain views are amazing!!! And how they feed at home here !!!! Everything is great!!! Thank You Very Much!!! I will definitely come back to you!!! Good health to you and your Loved Ones!!!! Good health to your hands!!!
Everything is fine: the food is actually homemade, especially pastries, the location is 20 m from the sea, the room for two is normal, linen is changed every other day, the pool is renovated, very clean.
We liked the boarding house. If you compare it with hotels in Turkey and Egypt, then you will not go to Abkhazia! We had a room with a view of the mountains and at the same time on the road, the view of the mountains is amazing, the road was annoying only when cars flew by with a furious roar. The territory is not small, the pool is not shallow. The food is good, everything is always fresh. There is no such thing as 5 dishes of meat and 10 dishes of fish, but you will definitely not stay hungry. The waitresses, the girls and the guy in the dining room - well done, always positive! The room was cleaned every day, it was always clean. In general, only good impressions remained. Thanks to all the staff of the hotel
Wonderful vacation, we've been there twice, we're planning more. Cozy old Gagra! Excellent modern rooms, private beach, gorgeous clean sea, not a large but well-maintained territory, swimming pool, everything is nearby. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are delicious. The road is a bit noisy if the rooms have mountain views, but the traffic is interesting. Shops are nearby, everything is not expensive, the market is far away, but this is just for once to buy souvenirs for loved ones. Nice staff, everything is clean. There is a doctor, always ready to help, as well as excellent security, always on the alert and will not leave in trouble. I recommend. But it's a little expensive for this beautiful country.
Convenient location (50 m to the sea)
The cook is a magician-the food is beyond praise.
I recommend not to take rooms with a view of the mountains \ road - it's noisy.It is better to move into building number 2. Fresh repairs and mattresses are whiter.
We rested on 20.06 to 2.07. 2022. Building 2,room with mountain view. It has already been written a lot that it is noisy. This is true, I was saved by earplugs, my husband was not disturbed by the noise. There were no insects. Linen and towels were changed every three days. The rest of the garbage was taken out. Everything would be fine, but one hair dryer per floor, this is an outrage. The hair dryer is in the hallway next to the kettle and ironing board and there is a warning that you cannot take it to the room. That is, the guest should go out into the corridor after the bathroom to dry his hair. That sounds crazy to me. The pool is in good condition. There were always kids splashing around . And the adults were resting too. There were enough sun loungers and an umbrella for everyone. The beach was cleaned after the storm. But regarding nutrition, my opinion is that the cook needs to be changed. It looks like chicken, a lot, but dry and no imagination. Cutlets, sliced chicken, chicken in tomato sauce with vegetables. And there were fish twice. Side dishes - rice and buckwheat or pasta and rice.
That's how they alternated. We ate only vegetable salad. The soups are delicious, the porridges are so-so. The breakfasts are the same every day. Instant coffee. Tea bags. Fruits - sliced bananas, sliced oranges, and peaches were given several times. Wine for lunch, but we couldn't handle it. It's disgusting. This is our opinion, maybe someone will like it. But the staff is friendly, smiling and not intrusive. We are vacationing in Abkhazia for the fifth time. There is a third one in Gagra. In comparison with other hotels where the Cote d'Azur was located, it lags behind. But the potential is good. Let's hope for the best.
I really liked it. It's a wonderful place. Cozy, beautiful, well-groomed territory, a large beach. The beach is clean, they keep order well, there is a lot of space, they do not walk over you. The staff is helpful and friendly. Good security. The room is clean and regularly cleaned. Good food, especially the pastries. There are many tables with sea views, on the outdoor area, and indoors. We got a lot of unforgettable impressions. Thank you, Abkhazia, thank you, Cote d'Azur. You have remained in our heart forever. Of course, there are disadvantages: an inconvenient transfer across the border, we arrived early, at about 6 a.m., there is nowhere to sit, we waited for the administrator until 8 a.m. The family was already sleeping on the seats:mom and 2 children. Of course, we knew that check-in was from 14.00, but the flight was overnight, so we arrived early. At 8.00 the receptionist came, we were immediately checked in, the room was empty and ready. If the receptionist had been in his place, and not resting, then we would have been in the room a long time ago and would also have been able to relax before breakfast. But they didn't charge us anything for early check-in. Thank you. We will be glad to return to the Cote d'Azur once again.
I had a rest in August 2020. Overall, a good impression: clean rooms, good buffet food. The beach is sparsely populated and fenced on one side, which prevents peddlers from scurrying around. Really old umbrellas and deck chairs. When a lot of vacationers arrived, the deck chairs had to be occupied early, which became annoying. There is a spa salon, I did not like it very much (the qualification of the staff leaves much to be desired)
Very good. I liked everything. The hotel is very well located in the old Gagra area. The private beach is 20 meters away, the food is excellent, the rooms are large, clean, there is everything you need. We were lucky with the weather, the sea and nature are magnificent.
