Claude Monet Seaside Hotel

Close to the sea, modern design

Modern, clean, right on the beach, spacious.

Some misinformation in the listing: can’t use the shared kitchen, no microwave oven.

Let us start by saying that the location is great. Right on the beach. And the rooms are spacious and - at first glance - seem luxurious. Also, there is a Cinderella type girl - the only one who speaks a little English - who seems to do all the work and is very sweet. Unfortunately she was bossed around during the sparse moments that the owner(?) was there.

As other people pointed out, the place is hard to find, but then again, it is on the beach, so that makes a bit of sense. The parking makes less sense, because it is so cramped that you regularly will be blocked in by cars from the other hotel. Arriving at the luxurious room, we found that it was still occupied by someone else. The owner claimed he had left (without taking laptop, wallet and phone?!), so I was surprised to find someone entering my room while I was in the shower. My friend then came over to my room to inquire whether our towels were also wet. And if we had a bath plug, because their bathtub (which already is something else then the hot tub listed in the advertisement) didn't have one. Fortunately, I could provide my friend with one, as we did have a plug but our system was broken. Let me pause here to say that the host is quite hostile in her responses to negative reviews on this website, so I'm sure she'll be able to explain all this away, or blame us for all of this (and call us liars!). But in fact, one of the main issues in this establishment is the total lack of supervision. So before the host blames us for not communicating about certain problems, let me state here that we would have loved some more communication. About the fact that in the 60 hours that we were there, we had no electricity (and thus no wi-fi, and far worse: no water!) for about 20 hours, for example. Or the mold(!) in the bread at the - for Georgian standards underwhelming, although ultimately passable - breakfast. Or why we had to answer questions everytime we used the kitchen (the listing said that the kitchen was free to use - we felt like we were intruding). But let us say again that none of it was Cinderella's fault, as she did her best, and was not given the resources and the training to run this place all by herself.

Very nice and spacios room. Big and comfortable bathroom. The place is located directly at the beach

I feel the owners played a dishonest game with me. They called me the evening before my stay to tell me that the storm has ruined their yard, and that I may cancel with no charge if I wished so. It was too late for me to look for alternatives, I asked them if the parking was ok, and they said it was, so I decided not to cancel. The place was just impossible to find, and they sent someone to get me there. Arriving I found out that parking was in the muddy sand of the beach (luckily I had an SUV). The way from the parking to the room was through construction area, and you had to bend with your luggage under beams to pass through. The hostess did not speak a single English word, was moody and unfriendly. The room was nice, but the entire stay there was with no soul, absolutely unpleasant. Breakfast was just basic. It turned out that the storm that ruined their yard happened two months before. Why did they wait till the last minute to tell me that? On top of that, the place is very expensive in Georgian terms. I chose them and was ready to pay the high price for a nice and pleasant location on the beach. They should have told me the true condition of their estate when I made the order, rather than wait for the last minute.

The hotel is really beautiful, fanstastic location and the beach would have been fine (if the weather would have been good). Rooms are stylish and very clean. Dinner in the neighbor hotel is very good. Sleep with the sound of the ocean. Beach not crowded.

As mentioned by others, the included breakfast is substandard from what we got elsewhere in Georgia. Still it is ok. Due to a storm the beach was super dirty - cleaning the part in front of the hotel was obviously not in the interest of the propery. Lots of dogs at the beach... No housekeeping during our stay. You pay for the (fantastic) views.

Location, comfy beds

Cleaning, in 7 days we hardly managed to get 3 cleanings (and hotel is literally on the beach, somehow sand is coming to the room, without daily floor cleaning it is a mess). Every time we had to request for cleaning, it is not done by default, putting a badge on the door with sign clean please is just ignored. Bring some mob with you. No refill of shampoo (anyway shampoo is awful) , toilet paper (begging again), first day they put coffee tea, and there is a kettle, than it is never refilled. Cooking smells, they serve breakfast (we didn't book one) and it smells for all floors. Also we were said that kitchen used for breakfast only, but sometimes they were cooking for themselves out of breakfast time. Hotel has no name on the building. Maybe because they have nothing to be proud of. Price we paid is not compatible with the service. Owner is more dealing with welcoming friends, relatives and have fun themselves. Numeral teenagers coming as a guests ruined sand castle build by my kids. When kids pointed that that's their castle, teenagers started to jump on it for fun. This example perfectly shows overall values of this guesthouse..
