Nadezhda SPA & Sea Paradise Resort complex

My wife and I lived here in a villa for some months whilst on work assignment and it is a first rate hotel. It has wide spacious grounds which are immaculately maintained with 180 degree views of the Black Sea. There are three swimming pools, a water park and a couple of (stony) beaches leading to a beachside pool in the clear water of the Sea. There are three restaurants, a gym, a kids entertainment area, tennis courts, windsurfing facilities a jetty for boat trips and an outdoor bar. There are medical facilities on site. The rooms are spacious but nothing special. The villas, though expensive, have three bedrooms, kitchen, lounge room, sauna, ensuite and other toilet and are luxurious. There is also a spa where you can get a good massage. Horse riding, hiking and trout fishing are available nearby. Security is good and there are always taxis waiting to take people to Kabardinka (the local village), Gillengik (a well know local resort town about 30 minutes away; features beaches, sailing and shopping) or Novorrossiysk (major city about 40 minutes away). Cost is pretty reasonable for taxis. Food is good in the restaurants and room service is available. It can get crowded in the Russian holiday season, so book early, A good place for a relax on an interesting coast.
