The hotel pretends to be a “luxury” place but my experience was below expectation.
The start was quite promising - a room with a wonderful sea view that I greatly enjoyed sitting at my personal terrace. Then I went to a tiny but still amazing private beach. As the Kaspian sea is not the best for swimming, I spent a couple of hours strolling back and forth across the shore with my feet in a warm water of the lake (yes, the Kaspian sea is a lake, huh)
That’s all for good things that could have been enough for great experience but..
The hotel is extremely overpriced. For the money paid, one could expect
(1) more elegant rooms (that are already calling for little renovation)
(2) better service - both in how they treat you personally and what they could offer you on a complementary basis (seriously - the devil is in the details, and there were no small indulging things at all. It’a not about the price it’s about the overall ambience)
(3) way more better breakfast - I was not able to eat a thing other than some sugared pastries. Everything else either looked disgusting or tasted disgusting. Even fruits was not in the best condition. Huge disappointment
So feel free to book once you get a good bargain otherwise ....
