We were vacationing with a family of 4 people in June 2024. The hotel is relatively small, linen and towels are changed quite often. The rooms and the hotel are clean. The staff is friendly and pleasant. Administrator Liana is always available for communication, will explain and show everything, solve all questions, help with excursions. The balcony, which has a small table and chairs, offers a beautiful view of the sea and directly onto the terrace with open tables, where it is pleasant to drink a cup of tea or just sit in the shade of eucalyptus trees. The air is special - "mountain eucalyptus". Descent to the sea by 135 steps, and then along the mountain serpentine. We timed it- to walk for 10 minutes along the picturesque streets. If someone is in their car, then there is a detour to the sea. If you walk, I think that the road from the sea will be difficult for small children and the elderly. Everyone else needs moderate fitness. The hotel has a clean swimming pool with warm water and sun loungers. There is a neat little garden around the pool. Smoking areas are equipped. There is a cafe with homemade food on the ground floor. About 5-6 dishes to choose from. Breakfast/lunch/dinner. When descending to the sea, there are two more cafes + cafes in the neighboring hotel and shops at the foot of the mountain. Payment in addition to accommodation. The rooms have Wi-Fi, the signal strength depends on the brand of smartphone (I caught it badly, my husband and children - relatively well. I express my sincere gratitude for the rest to Liana, her family, all the Svetlana serving us (cleaners, barmaid), cook Maxim.
We were in this unit 2 times for the New Year holidays, it was very cool, a warm pool, views of the sea and mountains.
Special Thanks to Administrator Liana!
Friendly reception, warm, clean rooms.
FAIRY TALE- WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Hello to all who have been to the New Year holidays this year!!!!
A great hotel, huge eucalyptus trees in the courtyard, a heated swimming pool, very beautifully decorated recreation areas. The hotel is on the mountain. We went down on foot, and then went up by taxi, it was easier for us and it didn't bother us. The rooms are clean and cozy. When the door to the balcony is open, you can hear the sound of the sea and the singing of birds, and also the wonderful fragrant air from the eucalyptus trees.
Of the disadvantages, there is no bottled drinking water: no cooler, no bottles on sale. The kettle is downstairs in the dining room, there are only glasses in the room.
We liked the hotel, we would definitely come back again.
We had a rest with my mother in the off-season here, in November. Honestly, despite the lack of an opportunity to swim at sea, I remember the trip primarily because of the hotel. The rooms are very cozy, clean, have everything you need and the interior design is pleasing, especially I remember the balcony where you can drink tea in the morning under the delicate aroma of eucalyptus and admire the sea view. The staff deserves special respect, we felt very comfortable, we could always ask a question or just talk. I really want to come here again, sometimes I remember how I was greeted by cute dogs and cry. Thank you 🙏🏻🥲
Even in autumn there was something to do. We went to turpentine baths, gorged on mantysh in the Uzbek cafe downstairs, just enjoyed the sea air, the incredible nature of the mountains and fresh fruits.
I didn't want to write a review, but after rereading all the reviews before leaving for Abkhazia, I couldn't put together a clear picture about this hotel. We had a rest in August 2024, unfortunately, the impression is not very good.
Positive:
- friendly hosts;
- eucalyptus trees;
- swimming pool;
- balcony with sea view.
Cons:
- Cockroaches are just raging in the bathroom at night, you turn on the light and they run away in different directions, (I would close my eyes to everything if it weren't for cockroaches);
- dirty curtains;
- the mattress on the bed is very creaky, the sofa is Soviet, already with holes
- they don't clean well;
- there is no hair dryer;
- soap and shampoos are not reported after cleaning. Cleaning every other day.
- the road to the sea and especially back is very difficult, although I am very athletic, but it was hard for me
This year I had a rest in a Fairy Tale, many thanks to Leana, the hostess was a friendly person who accepted us as relatives, a good hotel is clean and cozy and there is a bossein, I advise you to visit.
I will write the only plus is the pool, the rest is of course tin, it starts with the fact that it is high in the mountains, convenient for those who are by car, you are not on foot, Wi-Fi almost does not catch, if you come to relax and have fun, then it is very difficult to get after 24-00, you need to ask for leave, you feel like a minor at your grandmother's the village((((( And sorry for the current service, they ask for a lot of money ((((although on the first coast there is cheaper and with food.!!!!! In general, I do not recommend this hotel!!!!!
We rested for three days in hotels on the May. On the plus side: The hotel has a nice warm pool! Mountain or sea views! The balcony!
And now the cons! The beds were flimsy, the floor was dirty, the shower curtain was mildewed, it would probably be nice to change them every season! The bed linen was shot on one bed with stains, unpleasant.... And the most important minus: if you like to walk or hang out late and do not want to be tied to the hotel, then you are not here! because It works until 12 at night and then it closes, although it is written that you can coordinate with the administrator, then you will not be greeted very well.... And they will also ask when you will come.... what do you mean?! I'm going to a disco, I'm walking, but it doesn't matter if I'm on vacation, why should I be tied to time?! Make the keys for the guests, so that there is no one to wait for!
We rested in a Fairy Tale in early January. The first thing I want to say is that the hotel itself is very clean, spacious, clean, bright rooms with sea views. The hotel is warm in winter. Panoramic windows. Clean bed linen and towels. We were in room 14, I'll tell you the bed there is huge, comfortable. There is everything you need in the room, a dressing table, a refrigerator, a TV, a shower, a toilet, a large wardrobe, many bedside tables. The hotel itself has a swimming pool, there is a laundress, ironing service, there is a cafe, and in the warmer months there is also a dining room. The managing Liana will solve any of your problems and questions. The kindest-hearted man. We liked the hotel and we will come again.
We were in the "Fairy Tale" in mid-September 2023. The hotel is located on the road to Sukhum, just behind the last tunnel of the Gagra bypass road.
Wonderful, clean air and friendly atmosphere from the staff. Beautiful view of the sea through the tall eucalyptus trees saving from the hot sun. The rooms are clean, cleaning is daily.
The road from the beach will allow you to burn some of the calories gained in cafes located on the shore and correct muscle tone. Large car parking. If possible, we will come again!
We stayed at this hotel together with my daughter from June 16 to 23, 2024. I liked the room very much, it was cleaned 2 times in a week, towels were changed three times. The view from the window was gorgeous. During our vacation, the cafe in the hotel did not work, but it was possible to use the kitchen. We ate at a nearby hotel, and we liked the food there. The hotel has a swimming pool with warm water. The Internet, there is also a generator in the hotel, so you will not face any problems with turning off the light. The road to the sea takes 10 minutes, first up the stairs, and then along the mountain streets. The uphill climb is more difficult, but for us it was a plus - good physical activity. I liked the hotel, we will come again.

A quiet, peaceful place, its own swimming pool, which is a huge plus. There is a private kitchen. The rooms are large, there is everything you need, there is a large balcony, we would have a view of the pool and the mountains, we spent 5 minutes there every evening before the bypass road, and since we went everywhere and often, it was convenient for us. I took off a star for the location on the mountain, it is very difficult to climb on foot, it is hot, through the private sector.
Mini-hotel with spacious rooms, beautiful sea views, huge eucalyptus trees grow in the courtyard. There is a heated swimming pool. The food is monotonous, we did not like it. The hotel is located on a mountain, you need to climb a fairly steep staircase, it's hard! I will not go to Abkhazia anymore! Everyone has had rotavirus!!!Nature is beautiful, but everything else is very sad.
To be honest, I have a double impression about the relationship! The first impression is good: polite and attentive staff, thanks a lot for that! There is a dining room, the food in which is very tasty. And there is an unpleasant moment: well, first of all, there is no information anywhere that 700 meters to the sea and 139 steps out of them, sport is life, but not that much. And the second sad moment is the toilet brush, the sink is all in a grid, the faucet is leaking, the shower curtain rod fell on the child's head when she went to the toilet. There are cobwebs in some places. The lock jammed in our room and the refrigerator was faulty, they asked to look, they promised to figure it out, but no one looked. There is Wi-Fi in the hotel, but it catches intermittently on the third floor. There is no hair dryer in the room.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service, rooms, clean bed linen and towels, the availability of gels and shampoos! The view from the balcony is excellent. Polite staff. We had a very good rest.
We have not seen this in mini-hotels in Abkhazia in previous vacations.
The only wish is a more varied menu in the dining room. And the breakfast time is not very convenient, taking into account the time difference, we had to wait hungry and angry))
It's all good. Cleanly . Towels are changed regularly, bed linen is as it should be, delicious food is prepared.
Minus - 1 ) There are no bedspreads, with children, the white bed linen quickly becomes dirty. 2) There is no playground. By the way, this is not only a problem of the hotel, but of Abkhazia in general, you will not find a playground in Gagra. There is one at the Grand Abkhazia hotel, but there is dirt and not everything is in good condition. As it is, everything is fine. The ascent and descent did not seem critical for us, we took our time walking, so we did not even notice it.
One of the nicest hotels I've been to. Liliana is a very kind and sweet girl who works at the reception. We were there in early December with the guys from school, Liliana and her son told us about local life, which was very interesting. The rooms were cleaned, everything was clean and beautiful, and most importantly it was a room with a sea view, it was gorgeous. I advise everyone, Liliana, thank you very much
A wonderful hotel, a chic large room. The view from the room was on the sea. In the evening we watched very beautiful sunsets. There is a swimming pool, its own dining room. The only negative, but we knew about it in advance, is that the hotel is located in the mountains and the climb is not the easiest.
The best hotel the pool is always clean and tidy 10-15 minutes to the sea, if not less, the food is great, the rooms are always cleaned, I have been resting here for several years
The coolest hotel in Abkhazia, middle class!!! The rooms are nice, clean, there is a swimming pool, the staff, well, there are no words, responsive, kind, you live like your relatives in the country) And the dining room is a separate topic! The food is delicious and high-quality, which is very important for Abkhazia! To Abkhazia, - only in a Fairy Tale!!!
Indeed, a fairy tale!
The combination of sea and mountain air is incredibly cool!!!
There is a place to park a car, there is also a swimming pool, breakfast is included.
You need to go down the stairs to the sea (respectively, go up), and then walk along the serpentine) look for advantages in this)
The room had a huge bed (3 people will definitely fit) + a single bed , dishes, refrigerator, in general, everything you need. The room had a magnificent view of the sea and eucalyptus trees.
I really liked the hotel! Friendly staff, clean rooms and beautiful views 😍 it does not matter where you have a balcony overlooking the sea or the pool) the breakfasts are gorgeous and you can also order lunch and dinner separately from the menu) the sea is very close, do not even scare 100+steps to the bottom 😁 Thank you for your hospitality
We promise to return 🫶
I really liked the hotel. We will come back again. Everything you need is there, the staff is very attentive and responsive. The types are fantastic!
A picturesque road to the sea. We were in the first half of June, climbing the hill a couple of times was difficult because of the heat (we took a taxi), and it's quite normal with a 7-year-old child.
You can eat at the hotel, there are breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It is necessary to order in advance. If they knew exactly what would be for lunch or dinner, they would take it more often, because the child does not eat everything. The menu is on the trail.A day wouldn't hurt.
The silence regime was observed with us, although the windows overlooked the tables, once only the people went on a little spree.
There is a children's room. There are toys,, a couple of coloring books, pencils. The Swedish wall and the mat.
There is a tennis table by the pool, rackets and a ball can be taken at the reception.
In general, we had a great rest, I recommend it.
The staff is very friendly, the room is clean. The pool is very clean. They cook delicious food. The location of the hotel in the mountains, clean air, beautiful views from the window. The only thing is to climb the stairs high when walking from the sea.
We were at the hotel 22-31maya Liked everything Very much Very polite and friendly staff who will solve any questions at any time of the day Very good food that can be ordered at any time Very warm pool with hydromassage Clean with very beautiful views from the balcony of the room So you can safely put the hotel 5 So keep it up
The room was clean, but it smelled terribly of sewage. The staff is friendly and responds to any requests immediately. Location: 10 minutes to the sea, but the room is located high, so you don't want to go down once again. The shops are all only at the bottom, the prices in the shops are overpriced. The price is lower in the neighboring hotel. Swimming pool: children like it.
"Fairy tale *", why they gave such a name, they did not understand. I wouldn't go there again and I don't recommend it.
Amazing hotel, and staff!
We are staying for the second year in a row, we were both a company and together, service for five balls!
Special thanks to Liana, the golden man ❤️ if you relax in Gagry - the fairy tale hotel! We recommend it , we adore it

It's a great place. Everything is for relaxation. Cozy, clean, stunning view from the window, barbecue area, dining room. Location 👍Very nice staff. The receptionist is Liana, just a very hospitable and kind person. We will definitely stop and advise our friends again.
The service is good. Attentive staff. Very beautiful view from the mountain to the sea... Breakfast is prepared at the hotel. Cool heated swimming pool. A cozy family hotel! There are special places for smoking, there is no smoking on the balcony in the room, keep in mind for whom it is important... Far from the sea due to the descent from the mountain, there are stairs and a path to the embankment....
Great hotel. Lovely polite staff. They advised me where to have a delicious meal. Accommodation with a small dog was allowed. There is a heated pool, but we did not swim. The kitchen is closed in winter. It is located on a hill, the road down takes a calm step of 8-12 minutes
We were in this hotel for a week , I don 't know where the positive reviews came from ... the room is for my modest money , but the stench from the toilet is just terrible .It stinks like a cesspool and if you don't want to sleep in the stink, you have a bonus to open the window and wake up at four. Five in the morning from the barking of dogs .The mentality is interesting. To the question why the pool is covered in leaves , they answer why the TV does not work , they answer that everyone does not work .The hotel costs modest money, but just living in a cesspool for money is tin.The room was on the second floor .Yes, you should be ready to go down and climb civilization is about a kilometer and a half, that's another quest .
Very clean, everything is new, the room is very comfortable.The only thing to consider is that the kitchen does not work during the off-season, there is no breakfast.In my opinion, this is not critical, because there are all the conditions to make a quick meal yourself.As it is, it's wonderful.Yes, and a wonderful loggia for morning coffee.There is a swimming pool.a cozy area with everything you need.The staff is very polite and helpful.We were pleasantly surprised.
It was March 28th. Until April 4th. It's not the season. We chose them based on reviews. They were not mistaken. A very cozy little hotel. For those who are friends with sports!the descent along the serpentine is not noticeable. The way back- we swing our legs. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony. The beds are comfortable and the mattresses are good.There is a TV and a refrigerator in the room.Cleaning every 2 days, the pool is warm and clean. The kitchen really hasn't worked yet, but Liana (thank her so much!) I handled this situation very professionally, the microwave and kettle are freely available in the dining room. The atmosphere is very warm and sincere. We helped with the car to the border. Special thanks to Marina! We enjoyed our vacation for all 8 days.
We stayed there in October. The place is good, we were offered a large superior room for 3700. On the 2nd floor with a sea view. The room has everything: a huge bed (five people can easily fit inside and out). There is a single bed next to it. There is a large wardrobe in the hallway. From the balcony there is a sea view (high).
The hotel administration is polite and non-intrusive, all issues are resolved quickly.
From the food, only a snack in the hotel cafe.
There is a heated swimming pool in the courtyard, which is being cared for.
Now it's a fly in the ointment for people who are not athletic. The hotel is not the first coastal and is located so to speak in the mountains. Going down to the sea is not a problem, but climbing back up the hill, plus steps. It was hard for me. Therefore, two days later we moved to another place.
In general, I recommend it, especially for those who drive.
If you like to walk up 1000 steps with suitcases and children, eat tasteless food, look for clean towels after cleaning the room and sit at the reception for half an hour waiting for registration with a 50% prepayment for 3-4 months, you are here. The pros are a pool under the window and wonderful food at low prices in a nearby hotel 40 m away, very weak Wi-Fi for digital unloading, a gorgeous view and minus a few kg after a vacation.
The hotel is small, but very cozy. One of the advantages is the presence of a swimming pool. Cons; there are 122 steps to the sea and a Z -shaped rather long path ....; lack of food (the nearest store is on the coast). The rooms are clean, the cleaning is done daily, the staff is polite and friendly. Electric sockets, however, do not have bedside tables. TV without USB.
The nature is wonderful, the hotel itself is clean. The pool is also clean, they said that the heated one did not see it, the sun was heated. The room is clean, the linen is changed, but the door to the balcony did not work. The TV didn't work all day. Then everything was repaired, everything became fine.
We rested out of season from 17.10 for a week ! We swam in the sea all week except for one day of rain
Regarding the service : well done! Towels were changed )
There is no breakfast out of season , but there is a military sanatorium nearby , you can go to the store there
Or how we went down, had breakfast at the bottom and went to the sea )
Yes, it's hard to climb, but the view is worth it!we went up 2 times a day )
The pool is warm , do not look at the reviews of others . Naturally not boiling water , but also not like in the sea !
If someone with children under 8 liters does not take Excursions at the hotel. Excursions for children under 8 are free on the embankment.
You can take a taxi 250-300 rubles .
But it's cheaper than taking a hotel by the sea, even if you take a taxi in the evening.

Special thanks to this place for the beautiful sunrises from the window) the room is excellent, the bed is beautiful snow-white. The territory is very convenient. The staff is very pleasant. There is a cafe, in the morning they make excellent coffee there
A very cozy and pleasant hotel. We had a balcony overlooking the sea, super! A decent pool, not for show. Parking for cars. It's a great territory of its own! The staff is very pleasant. We were with an Airedale terrier dog, not small, it was very comfortable, many thanks to the owners! I recommend it!
Thank you very much, we really liked everything, both the conditions and the hospitality, all for 5+. The staff is responsive, attentive, will advise you where to go on an excursion, have a delicious meal, it is very convenient to be there with children, it is very beautiful and cozy. We really liked it, we recommend it to everyone!!!!!!! Thank you very much, we will be back))))))))
Nice guest house with lovely, friendly staff. And they will talk heart to heart and tell you where to go, as if they came to old friends)
I highly recommend it, the only disadvantage that should be taken into account is that there are about 150 steps to the embankment and a fairly long descent down, which means that then you will need to overcome it and go up)
We are resting August 2022. Usually we are demanding tourists, but if you go to Abkhazia, you need to understand in advance that this is not a luxury vacation and you need to see the advantages in the little things. I really like the hotel 👌the staff has special respect for the attitude towards the guests🤝the food is homemade, you will not go hungry if you understand that lobsters will not be served😂
A small cozy area, a clean pool, with a magnificent view of the mountains 👌sometimes I was too lazy to go to the sea)
As for the descent to the sea, well, yes, stairs and a walking serpentine, but again, here you can find the advantages 👌extra kg will not arrive😂some kind of training, on the second day you get used to walking.
We were going to take a break from the hustle and bustle and reboot, so the half-empty beaches, the clear azure sea and the lack of movement satisfied us quite well.
When I arrive in Gagra, I will stop by this hotel, I was there from May to June. Kind workers, clean and warm pool and sea or mountain views. The best hotel in Abkhazia.
Great place! Nice staff. I liked everything very much. We will come back here more than once. And we will advise our friends! Thank you for everything, I bow low)
We rested in early September 2021, had a good rest, liked everything, lived on the 3rd floor in a two-room room (room 3 was also a small office). Beautiful view from the room and from the dining room, you can eat outside, overlooking the sea, in the evening at sunset. It's hard to climb from an unusual place) 15 minutes uphill and up the stairs. The staff is good, cleaning every day, the food is very tasty and satisfying. But the hotel already needs a little repair, the feeling that it is a little forgotten, something is moving away, the window was leaking from the rain, the beds are creaking, all the toys in the children's room are broken and somehow uncomfortable. Overall, the impression is good, for a foursome)))
A great place to relax. Delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners are prepared on request. The pool is not an unimportant thing, since the sea is about 300 meters away. The room is clean. But there is no hair dryer. There is almost no Internet, old equipment.
A great hotel. The owner personally came for the New Year. A pleasant Sochi businessman. The convenient location is relative to both the mountains and the sea. The sea views are gorgeous. I even liked the fact that it takes longer to walk to the beach than from coastal hotels. At least the food had time to digest. There is a swimming pool for children.
Friendly staff, no complaints. The rooms have combined balconies, you can not smoke on them, you will have to go out into the courtyard. It takes 11 minutes to walk to the sea on the descent, it is much more difficult to return)
