Rested in Adler from 4 to 14 August in Sochi Park Hotel. The hotel is nice, podubity, but for treshki really is not bad. They took food - breakfast and dinner. The food in the “restaurants” with the sat down chairs is not very, but you will not be hungry .. the main thing is to go to the discovery, otherwise it will make you sick of what you see. The hotel area is good, but there is no shade, kids in the heat kept in the hotel.In the halls, the split-systems are cut all the way down, it’s very dangerous for the health of children and adults who return to the rooms wet from the pools, the child had a cold on the third day. But the main thing is the sea. Never before rested on the beaches with stones - it's terrible! The water is not very clean, full of jellyfish. On the embankment to walk, too, was not a thrill. there is no shade, and the trees along the embankment are surrounded by a fence. The price tags for fruits - vegetables and in general everything - are up to heaven. A kg of watermelon costs 60 rubles (9 rubles per kg in Siberia). Everywhere there is a trade in alcohol-containing products of "home production", the police are not visible at all .. An unpleasant impression is left of the rest. I do not want any more resorts in the Krasnodar region. And yes, children are sick of some unknown garbage - an infectious disease with 500 places is full .. and every day wherever they go - everywhere there are people who vomit
