Reviews
"Villa Fellini" (Sudak), the description of which is given in the article - this is only one side of the perception of the resort. Often the decisive role in the choice is played by reviews of experienced travelers.

Minuses
Nevertheless, there were skeptics who did not find the four-star hotel ideal for themselves. By cons, they attributed:
- Cramped rooms, the decor of which exquisite furniture fetters the space and free movement of guests in it. For some tourists, the area around the hotel seemed small.
- Not liked the bathrooms, which, according to reviews, have modern plumbing. At the same time, tourists indicate that the hotel is new. So its appearance does not quite correspond to the internal content.
- A common negative point is the far distance from the sea. 500 meters are easily overcome by young people, but for people with certain health problems or age peculiarities they are difficult. The situation is complicated by the lack of asphalt or pavers throughout the route, as well as a busy highway. But it is worth considering the fact that Sudak is only equipped for tourists.
- The beach is urban, and therefore it is rarely cleaned. This chagrin is offset only by a good entry into the water and the presence of all the necessities on the beach (sun loungers, umbrellas, changing rooms, etc.).
- Replacing towels and cleaning the rooms also caused discontent among guests and disappointment at the Villa Fellini Hotel (Sudak). Reviews say that according to the rules, these services should be provided daily. But in reality, everything happens less often and at an uncomfortable time.
- In general, the hotel staff was not very well appreciated by picky tourists. For example, they took for unfriendliness the fact that employees do not greet guests at a meeting and act strictly according to the schedule created by the administration. So, at 10.00 the breakfast is considered finished, and therefore the staff silently removes everything from the tables and closes the buffet. Perhaps this is a minus for the hotel, but everything has its own rules. In this case, and rest.
- And finally, they didn’t arrange room prices. But here it is a matter of individual capabilities of a tourist wallet.
