The Hotel Alex, Gagra -Wednesday, May 3

Today is a beautiful day in Abkhazia.  The temperature is about 24 (75 Fahrenheit).

The Alex Hotel (photos above and below) recently opened in Gagra.  The hotel, with an English-speaking staff, sits directly in front of the beach and within a short walk of central Gagra. It is possibly the best hotel property in Abkhazia.  There are both indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and 80 rooms.  The hotel features a restaurant, bowling alley and billiards. Rooms are comfortable, modern and clean.   Hotel rooms enjoy mountain and sea views.   Service is the best that I have seen in Abkhazia.

This is the kind of hotel development that I expect to see much more of in Abkhazia.  The hotel is modern in design and very inviting to the eye.  It is plain there is a market for it. The hotel was 100% occupied for virtually the entire month of April, even with colder and wetter than normal weather.  With the coming tourism boom, there is room for many hotels in Abkhazia.
