Alashara Guest House

Our vacation was ruined before it began. We had arranged our child's check-in with the owner two weeks ahead, sent a deposit, and even organized a transfer. On arrival, the receptionist didn't know we were coming, and the owner's son was completely out of his mind. We were told there was no room and to find somewhere else. The transfer was another mess. After giving us one driver's contact, they sent a second and then a third. An old 5-star car eventually collected us and broke down on the way. The airport to Alashar trip cost 3,500 rubles, and we had a child with us. Fortunately, friends vacationing nearby let us stay with them.

The location is excellent, with the sea about 300 meters away by the direct route. Shops and cafes are nearby, and the street is quiet. Since this wasn't our first visit, we generally liked the place. The room was pleasant and well-maintained, though not especially impressive, and had a refrigerator, shower, and toilet in good condition. I took off a star because the service was only a 3. Our room wasn't cleaned at all, so we had to do it ourselves, while other guests did receive cleaning. We liked everything apart from the service, though I'm not sure whether we'd return here or choose somewhere else.

The grounds are quiet, attractive, and carefully maintained, and the kitchen was clean. Our room had crisp white sheets and towels, with polite staff and a pleasant atmosphere. The sea and clean beach are only 5 minutes away, and dolphins can even be seen. It's a cozy place, and I definitely want to come back.

The garden in the courtyard is lovely, and the room was comfortable. The hosts were very kind and responsive. The sea is close, although restaurants require a bit of walking. If you're coming by car, this is a good place to stay.
