Classics of holidays in the country - hotels in Gelendzhik

The resort town of Gelendzhik began the history of its existence in the distant 1863, when the fortress, built by Russian seamen the year before, ceased to be just a means of protection from the mountaineers, but acquired the status of a permanent settlement with established trade links. Since that time, power has changed many times, but the city is growing and flourishing. Gelendzhik received a particularly strong push to develop when the highway from Novorossiysk to Sukhumi was laid. In Soviet times, the city was part of the system of All-Union health resorts of the Soviet Union and had an extensive network of health-improving boarding houses. During the post-Soviet perestroika period, difficulties also came to this sphere, but Gelendzhik not only resisted, but also developed its infrastructure, mainly due to the inflow of private capital. Later, the state, represented by the local authorities, also understood the whole profitability of the tourist and resort business and new comfortable hotels appeared in the city. To date, hotels in Gelendzhik are not only boarding houses left over from Soviet times, but also modern comfortable hotels, among which a small fraction are small and cozy private hotels in Gelendzhik .

Located on the shore of the Gelendzhik Gulf of the same name, the resort from the mainland is reliably protected from the penetration of cold air by the mountains of the Caucasian ridge. At the same time, warm sea air freely penetrates the coast. Thanks to this, the winter here is very mild, mostly with a plus temperature, and in summer the moistened sea air softens the heat. The climate in this geographic area is subtropical, the water warms up quickly and the holiday season when you can swim (officially it is recommended to do this if the water temperature is not less than 17 degrees Celsius) begins in mid-May and lasts until mid-October, including "velvet" "A season that many Russians are so fond of. In the foothills on stony soils, an excellent vine grows , giving delicious berries to the rest table, as well as an amazing wine. The southern land of Gelendzhik is rich and generous and many other fruits.

In terms of rest, the sheds with the "bed-place" in the room for several people are gradually disappearing into the past. A modern self-respecting resort, especially if the rest is family, will prefer Gelendzhik hotels. The most economical option are boarding houses with three single or half board meals (usually without dinner). Of course, there is no need to expect a particularly high level of service. Usually this is at the level of 1-to-2 stars, but recently, due to the increased competition, there have clearly been improvements. Among the most reliable, if you analyze the reviews about the hotels in Gelendzhik, the boarding house "Thin Cape", which is, incidentally, curative, as well as boarding houses with good service "South", "Warm Coast", "Seaside", "Kuban" about others. Rest in them during the season usually costs from 1200 rubles with meals. The more comfortable hotels of Gelendzhik at the level of 3 stars are mostly private Gelendzhik hotels and guest houses, such as Camelot, White Swan, On Pervomayskaya, reviews of which from guests who stayed there were very positive. For connoisseurs of a truly comfortable holiday, the Turkish company erected an elite resort complex "Nadezhda SPA & Marine Paradise", which has its own private beach on the coastline of 600 meters. Here, as it is clear from the title, the rest and health of the body are successfully combined. It is declared as a 5-star hotel, but reviews about hotels in Gelendzhik claim that the service really pulls on four stars. Maybe it's from the fact that most Russian personnel work there, who still have a lot to learn from their foreign colleagues. But this is a private opinion from those who have been abroad in five-star hotels and who have something to compare with.

In general, for those who do not want to deal with foreign passports, and have already got used to rest "in the south" within the country, this is a very suitable option and here it is possible to quite decent and inexpensive rest for the whole family.
