Boarding house “Boxwood Grove” is one of the most modern on the entire coast of Abkhazia. The hotel is located on the first line in the middle of a unique boxwood grove and exotic vegetation. It is only 7 km from the city of Pitsunda, and 40 km from the Russian border.
The hotel is quite young (only 14 years old). The European interior of the boarding house and comfortable rooms create a favorable environment for tourists to relax. If you are still thinking, going to this boarding house or not, it does not hurt to first study the reviews. Boxwood Grove (Pitsunda) is a very hospitable place that will gladly welcome everyone.
Customs lines and pebbles
You probably ask, what is the connection of these two concepts? Everything is very simple. As a rule, everyone starts with positive recommendations, but we decided to go the other way. First, we want to reveal negative reviews. Boxwood Grove (Pitsunda) is located in Abkhazia, that is, in another country. Naturally, you will need to cross the border. If you do not have the opportunity to take the Moscow-Sukhum train, you will have to cross the border on foot. Although, as a rule, such a procedure is not so complicated. Only in high season there are sometimes lines formed. A shuttle service is also available. But many travelers indicate this point as a drawback.
Also, most tourists do not like pebble beaches at the resort, at least their reviews indicate this. Boxwood Grove (Pitsunda) really has a pebble beach, but if you take beach shoes with a durable sole with you, you won’t feel any inconvenience.
High service and reasonable prices
Abkhazia as a tourist country is still in the process of formation. Of course, she is far from the service of Turkey and Egypt, but the resort is developing quite quickly. Meals in the guesthouse are provided according to the "buffet" system. The menu is always varied, and the products are fresh, which is confirmed by many reviews. Boxwood Grove (Pitsunda) also boasts an excellent treatment base. At your service are departments of inhalation, lorzobolezhnosti, physiotherapy, dentistry and others. You can improve the condition of your skin with the help of cosmetic procedures using blue clay.
Many tourists do not regret that they visited the wonderful boarding house "Boxwood Grove" (Pitsunda). Traveler reviews say that with excursions you will not have difficulties either. The local population speaks good Russian, so you do not need to pay extra for organized excursions. Having ordered a taxi, you can travel around all the places you are interested in much cheaper. We recommend visiting New Athos, Lake Ritsa, the capital of Abkhazia - Sukhum, many attractions can be seen in Gagra (20 minutes from Pitsunda).
Evening leisure in the boarding house will not let you get bored. Animators entertain children with contests and relay races, and for adults there is a karaoke cafe, restaurant, sauna, pool bar and much more.
As for pricing, in 2013 prices rose slightly. But still, holidays in Abkhazia will cost less than, for example, in the resorts of the Black Sea coast of Russia.
As they say, it's hard to please everyone. Naturally, there are people who expected more from this boarding house than they received. But in general, the virgin beauty of Pitsunda and the absence of huge crowds of vacationers can easily brighten up any shortcomings. Come, they are always waiting for you at the address: Abkhazia, the city of Pitsunda, the Samshitovaya Roscha hotel.
