Saved from June to July 2019. At first, it was planned to stop here on the week ... Then there were still 3)) in the rooms cozy, clean, TV, Internet; pastel changed every week; There is a washing machine, in the kitchen a good dishes, there is everything for self-cooking. The owner may communicate on an excursion (which will be released much cheaper than to go with the travel agency), prepare a kebab. Ale, Petya, thank you attentive attitude and good vacation. Come again))

If you wish to relax from the city bustle and people, then you are exactly here! Quiet place. There are few people and no one bothers each other. The hotel's territory is large, there is a playground on which children have something to do. Beach nearby walking 3 minutes. On the beach there are sun beds and in the hotel you can take umbrellas. The sea is clean even in a storm time. The cafe can be delicious food both national dishes and European. The numbers correspond to the description. The hotel offers an excursion. There may be a minus for someone, the fact that the Wi-Fi hotel does not always work stably, TV broadcasts only three Russian channels, the villages are freely walking cows and entertainment in the village itself (you need to go to the city). For us, it did not matter, since we went to relax and we really liked it, I did not want to leave. Thank you, the owners and staff for a friendly and positive attitude!

Resticarily rested in the city of Sukhum at the Guest House "At Eli" (without prepayment). If you love a calm, soulful rest, then you are here. A beautiful city! Wonderful people, wonderful house! Everyone within walking distance: shops, a large market, to the sea to go 10 minutes by a quiet step. Huge gratitude to the hostess Eli for kindness and great attitude! The price and quality pleasantly surprised. The house is clean, cozy rooms. In them, everything you need: bathroom, television, air conditioning, internet, fresh linen, snow-white towels. On the territory of the house everything is clean and calm. There is a wonderful, comfortable summer kitchen with all inventors. For loved skewers there is a brazier. We all really liked !!! I want to say separately thanks to the pet, for wonderful kebabs and fragrant coffee !!! Thanks a lot! Next year we will definitely come here!

Every summer we try to leave the family rest and were in many places. Everywhere, everything is somehow usually, standard, there are plays and cons, so I never wrote reviews. But having been visiting Svetlana and Arut (I am writing a guest, because it is such a feeling left after resting them), I just could not leave it without attention. Were in Abkhazia End of June - the beginning of July 2019 the first time. One went with the kids 5 and 10 years. They chose very carefully, much viewed, called up, were looking for. I want to warn you when you choose housing, ask about everything, right up to the presence of dishes, you can fry the kebab when returning from walks because Miscellaneous and all have their own orders. We are very lucky, Svetlana and Aruth are the most hospitable people. Honestly, I have not seen this where. We met us by car and drove into a very clean and cozy room. When booking Svetlana, we provided additional. Photo.
In the room there was everything as in the description, without exaggeration. Plasma TV, air conditioning, 2 very comfortable, soft beds covered with good smooth lodge, bedside table, wardrobe with hangers and mirror. In the bathroom for each 2 towels, toiletries, split system. With a problem hot water did not come across. Clean, well-groomed, big courtyard (in the evening illuminated) with flowers, mangal zone. In the kitchen, each room has its own table. A very large amount of clean dishes, there is everything at home. You can also use the washing machine for free at any time. All this is supervised, so the feeling of reliability did not leave once. The house is located at a convenient location, I am with children, bag, inflatable circles did not rush to the sea for a maximum of 10 minutes. On the way, the hotel has a clean, cozy, not expensive cafe with air conditioning, where they are very tasty. The center is not far away, you can walk along the embankment, where there are all entertainment for children. Batut 100 rubles. Without time limit (parents understand), there are a lot of cafes on the seafront and trading tents, etc. Entertainment. Also not far from the house there is central market, wine, fruits, vegetables at democratic prices, bargain. They offer a large number of excursions, places here and the truth is very beautiful, but I recommend contacting this question to Svetlana, she will talk without exaggeration about each and will send with a reliable, proven firm. We thus rode accompanied by a guide look at the beauty of Abkhazia every other day. Unlike private traders give there full information About the place where we are going, tell about customs, joking, watch you're lost, in general I really liked me and for children. In general, I advise you to contact on any issue to the owners of the house, they will always tell everything, prompt, very responsive and unobtrusive people. Leaving home, you can ask the fresh bay leaf, if there is, Svetlana treats. Trifle, but nice. Maybe it will be inappropriate, but I still want to write that relatives who sometimes came to visit them, also made a very good impression. Friendly, lungs and pleasant people in communication. Here we felt easely, thank such a hospitality of the owners turned out to be a great rest. If you get to get into Sukhum already with my spouse and children, then only here. Resting here once, you yourself will understand why. Svetlana and Aruth I wish you all the good, prosperity in your business, stay as responsive, pleasant, kind people. Thank you for your wonderful stay, we stayed under great and good impression !!!
Sincerely, Oksana, Yaroslav and Mark.
