Sandy beach

I and my son traveled to this beach. The sea entrance is gradual and gentle, with a long stretch leading into deeper waters - perfect for children to wade in up to their chests, and adults to venture further after 10-15 meters. The waves are calm, creating a serene environment for relaxation. We visited at the end of August 2021 and had a fantastic time. The sea was clean, warm, and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both adults and kids who enjoy swimming. The lagoon was a highlight for us, offering a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. The proximity of the beach to the sea, just 20 meters away, was very convenient. We took a leisurely stroll along the coast for about 5-6 km towards Nikolaevka and concluded that Laguna had the best beach with the perfect sea entry and depth. Other beaches on the map seemed to have eroded over time, as locals mentioned. This was surprising, as I had checked real-time satellite images while planning our trip. For dining options, I highly recommend a restaurant near Laguna, not Sadko, which seemed overly pretentious and expensive. Instead, try the unnamed restaurant closer to Laguna, where the food is delicious, plentiful, and affordable. The elderly Asian chef there was very attentive to our tastes, making our dining experience memorable. The Tatar cuisine in the area is also worth trying, offering tasty dishes at reasonable prices. The dining room at Laguna, located 100-170 meters from the rooms, is excellent, especially for children. The steamed cutlets were particularly tender and flavorful, made from high-quality poultry and beef. The hygiene standards were top-notch, with clean equipment and delicious dishes that left our tummies satisfied. Fresh fruits like grapes and figs are available nearby at prices much lower than in Yekaterinburg, and they taste like sunshine. We also indulged in dried and smoked local fish from fishermen, which brought back childhood memories of delicious flavors. The evenings were peaceful, with everything quieting down by 23-23.30, creating a sense of calm and relaxation. If you're looking for a summer getaway in Crimea to enjoy the sea and local delicacies, this is the place to be. Swim, sunbathe, and savor the delicious food - you won't be disappointed. The biggest advantage is the proximity to the sea, making it a perfect choice for families with children. I highly recommend it!

The location is fantastic, with the sea just outside the window, only a 1-minute walk away! The area is beautifully maintained. The only downside is the lack of a dining room; it took us a while to find a decent place to eat, but we managed to find something satisfactory, even though there aren't many inexpensive options around. The accommodation is incredibly affordable. For two adults and two children, we paid 3000 per day for a cozy room with two single beds and a sofa bed. The beds can be pushed together if needed. The TV was a pleasant surprise, and there is also air conditioning. Cleaning services are available upon request only, and you'll need to take out the trash yourself. There is hot water and water available in the lobby, and a microwave is provided for guests to use freely. Overall, as a budget-friendly choice, this place is highly recommended!

The positioning is superb. Expansive leisure facility, meticulously maintained surroundings, numerous relaxation spots, proximity to the shore. The accommodations are roomy and spotless. Bath towels are included. Bedding is refreshed every three days. The suite was not tidied up throughout our week-long stay. Absence of hair dryers. No provision of shampoo or body wash, only a single bar of soap. Air conditioner is excessively loud. Our stay was in a deluxe room. Given its cost, we anticipated slightly superior service.

My son and I traveled to Laguna in June 2017, Crimea for the first time. We found this hotel online, drawn in by the affordable price, close proximity to the sea, room amenities, and well-maintained grounds. Everything matched the description perfectly - our double room was fantastic, the area was beautifully landscaped with an abundance of flowers (the stunning "wall of roses" was a highlight!). Everyone at the hotel couldn't resist taking photos against this backdrop of beauty! The sea was indeed just a stone's throw away - no need to trek to a pebble-covered beach, just step outside the hotel gates and head down to the shore! The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick to assist with any requests. Our room was nicely renovated, clean, and cozy, equipped with all the necessary amenities, including 24/7 hot and cold water. Dining was a breeze with the restaurant just 30 meters away, offering delicious and affordable meals. Upon arrival at Simferopol airport, we were greeted by an Intourist guide who whisked us away in a comfortable mini-bus directly to the hotel entrance. Despite our late-night arrival, we were warmly welcomed and settled into our room. Departure was just as smooth, with transportation arranged from the hotel gates to the airport. As first-time visitors to Crimea, we made the most of our trip by exploring Bakhchisarai, Yalta, Sevastopol, and even braving the cable car ride up Mount Ai-Petri - the breathtaking views from over 1200 meters up were unforgettable! In summary, our experience was filled with lasting memories. Thank you, Crimea, for your warm hospitality!
