Best hotels in %s for spring

The start of Pionersky Prospekt works best: family resorts there have gated grounds, entertainment programs, children's pools and access to a gently sloping sandy beach. An alternative is the resort quarter at the far end of the avenue, where several buildings share the same children's facilities. If you want quiet and don't mind pebbles, look toward Sukko.

It is a separate village roughly 10 km north of the city, with its own Greek-style promenade and its own infrastructure. The beach is the same — the sandy spit continues here without a break — but there are noticeably fewer people and less city noise, and accommodation is usually cheaper. The main practical advantage: AAQ airport sits effectively inside the village, so the transfer takes a matter of minutes.

The swimming season lasts from mid-June to late September, with the peak in heat, occupancy and rates falling in July and August. In the velvet season the sea is still warm and a room costs noticeably less — especially at the resorts on Pionersky Prospekt. In late autumn and winter mainly the sanatoriums stay open, and that is the calmest and most budget-friendly period.

All-inclusive pays off if you plan to barely leave the grounds: meals, drinks, pools and entertainment are already in the rate, and there is nothing to keep track of. If you would rather have dinner at a cafe on Gorkogo Street and take trips to the wineries, the Lotus Valley and the Utrish reserve, a hotel with breakfast in the center or on the Vysoky Bereg is the better deal.

The pebbles begin right past the center, on the Vysoky Bereg: cliffs, stairways down to the water and real depth a couple of steps from shore. Another option is the bay at Sukko and, farther on, Bolshoy Utrish, where the water is the clearest on the coast. The sandy spit, by contrast, runs north from Central Beach through Dzhemete to Vityazevo.
