You may want to use it only as a base for a beach holiday or for exploring Crimea. After a hearty breakfast you can be out all day and then return for a shower and a leisurely evening meal to the discreet sounds of the hotel's excellent resident jazz combo.

Or you can take advantage of its premium health facilities.
The hotel has resident doctors and therapists, offering a wide range of advice and cures. You can try out one of the therapeutic mud treatments for which Crimea is famous - Crimean muds are prized for their healing qualities throughout Eastern Europe.

The hotel has a large swimming pool, which opens onto the solarium outside, and is used both for leisure swimming and for hydrotherapy.

Whether you just want a massage, or a full diagnosis of that ailment that's been niggling you for years, followed by a range of treatments on offer, you're in charge and the staff are here to help you.

The hotel is 5 minutes from Yalta's main shopping area - although if you want to buy a painting, look no further than the hotel restaurant, which has a large selection of modern art by local artists on display, many of which are for sale.

The hotel is an ideal base for exploring Crimea and the friendly reception staff will always be glad to call you a taxi or give you directions. The hotel can arrange excursions, or you can use the services of Blacksea-crimea.com's own local guide and interpreter.

Massandra beach, where the hotel has its own private beach, is only 10 minutes walk away.
