Plyazh Victoriya

I spent a considerable amount of time selecting a hotel for an 8-day holiday with my 6-year-old child, and eventually chose Victoria. Overall, the boarding house is good—comfortable and clean. We stayed in a standard room, which was basic but had a balcony with a stunning view. When we first arrived, the sea was quite dirty due to natural elements, but it later cleared up and became incredibly clean and beautiful. The beach is nice, though it's open to the public. However, the climb up the mountain and the trek can become tiring in the heat over time. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food. Although it's served buffet-style, it quickly becomes monotonous. You won't go hungry, but there are often lines in the dining room, and items run out quickly, requiring you to ask for more. On the plus side, the dining room has a TV and a carousel. The animation team deserves special mention. I really enjoyed their activities, and the children's room is excellent. The animator, Natalya Vladimirovna, was fantastic, and the children's discos and various activities were a hit. The hotel bar is pleasant, and the nearby pool is new, clean, and excellent. The location is quite far from the center, requiring a 10-15 minute bus ride. However, the bus runs on a schedule and lacks air conditioning, making the journey to Gelinzhik less enjoyable, especially when it takes longer. The road to the bus stop is somewhat inconvenient and a bit extreme, as it runs along the side of the road. The nearest store is a bit of a walk from the boarding house, but there is a bus stop nearby. Fruits are sold near the beach, which is convenient. The main downside was that we encountered a rotavirus, although the medical office attributed it to overheating. I was bedridden for a day, but my child was fine. However, I suspect I brought the virus home and infected the rest of the family. Overall, I enjoyed the holiday and found Kabardinka and the sea very impressive. Yes, there are some shortcomings, but considering the price, it's a good value. Feel free to share your fresh reviews!

We stayed at a boarding house with our family in July, and here's what I can say: 1) The rooms are not large, but they are clean and cozy, although the furniture is old. 2) The buffet is quite basic with a very limited menu. To avoid going hungry, you need to arrive early and stand in line, which feels quite humiliating. The menu is extremely limited, with no vegetables, fruits, juices, or compotes, even though it's summer. Throughout our entire vacation, we never saw any greenery or any confectionery except for simple rolls. Once, we arrived for dinner and only pasta was left. When we asked why, we were told we needed to come earlier. That's just terrible. Milk is also available only occasionally, and you might get fermented milk products if you're lucky. I understand that many guests come with vouchers and might not complain much, but I paid almost 50,000 rubles for three days and expected not to have to stand in line for food! The beautiful buffet shown in the website photos was nowhere to be seen. On a positive note, the staff is polite, which is a relief. The sea and beach are accessible via an airduct transition. Overall, our general impression is that we definitely won’t be returning for a second visit!

I enjoyed the beach; they offer sunbeds in different price ranges from 300 to 500-100 rubles! There are various water activities available. The crowd size is moderate 🤗. Facilities include toilets and a cafe, and the entry into the sea is fairly decent. The water is clean... At the entrance to the beach, an elderly man sells delicious food like raspberries, peaches, and blueberries 😋😋😋.

A serene and comfortable stay. The accommodations cater to vacationers of all ages, reminiscent of the standards from Soviet times. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It's an excellent place for a family holiday with children. The buffet-style food offers a variety of options, though some returning guests mention it used to be tastier. The private beach is clean, well-equipped with plenty of sun loungers, and conveniently close to the boarding house.
