Reviews of tourists with children about Adler
Adler is a green and picturesque part of Sochi. In Soviet times, recreation in sanatoriums and boarding houses was popular here, but now tourists with children settle mainly in the private sector. Many guesthouses, mini-hotels or apartments have a kitchen, so feeding your child is not a problem.
Adler beaches are pebbly, and the sea is cleaner than in Anapa. The sea water is heated to a temperature comfortable for bathing babies from June to mid-September. In July and August, the entire Black Sea coast is hot, so come to Adler with your little ones in early summer or during the velvet season.
Please note: when they say "Adler", they often mean Imeretinskaya Bay - this is another resort where Sochi Park, the Olympic Park and large hotel complexes are located. These places are easily accessible from Adler by bus.
Vacationers with children speak about Adler mostly positively. Find out what tourists think about Adler.
degravenok: "Adler is a real resort with entertainment for every taste. We simply did not have time to go to many places, for example, did not go to Sochi Park, did not get to the Dolphinarium and Tesla Museum. But we managed to see the singing and dancing fountains in the Olympic Park and The park itself, I liked it very much, The beaches are pebbly everywhere, I swam in special slippers, the child came in like that, although there were slippers. "
ideinoeatelie: "In Adler and Lazarevskoye we went to different beaches. We liked" Ogonyok "the most because of the small pebbles on the shore. Feet does not hurt like on other beaches, and you can sit right next to the water. There is also a thick layer of coarse sand on the shore ".
alexshneerson: "I was with my family in Adler in July 2020. This is not a vacation, but a complete rip-off. Everything from parking to a toilet is paid. Equipment rental - prices are the same as in Europe. There are not many people on the beach, there are a lot of housing, all private favelas - hotels are free. "
What are the beaches and the sea
The seashore in Adler is covered with pebbles, but there are also sandy and pebble beaches. During the season, the coast is cleaned. Sea water is cleaner than in Sochi, but not as clear as in small resort villages. The reason for the pollution is that a large river, the Mzymta, flows into the sea.
Entry into the water is smooth almost everywhere. All the beaches of Adler have facilities for families with children: sun loungers, sun umbrellas, changing cabins and showers. It is easy to find places that rent inflatable rings, sell baby life jackets and swim toys.
Municipal beaches are free. The entrance to the private beaches of sanatoriums and boarding houses costs from 50 to 450 rubles.

Is it worth going to Adler with children
Most tourists come to Adler with children, because it is comfortable to relax in the resort: there are many canteens, cafes, shops and pharmacies, a lot of entertainment in the vicinity, full of guest houses and hotels. Mild climate, warm sea, lots of greenery and shade. I think that it is worth resting in Adler at least once.
The main disadvantage of the resort is that, due to the high humidity of the air, it is difficult for children to endure the summer heat. To avoid the heat, come in June or September.
The main complaint of tourists to the beaches of Adler is rotavirus infection and unpleasant odors. What can I say, you can catch rotavirus and norovirus at any other foreign resort with a warm sea, and we have not felt any unpleasant odors anywhere. Be sure to collect a first aid kit for rest and do not forget the compulsory medical insurance policy. Young children need to be vaccinated against rotavirus.
Even children (and what can we say, even adults!) Are uncomfortable walking on pebbles. If you and your child have sensitive feet, buy aqua shoes - they are sold in almost every tent.
So that the child's sleep is not disturbed by the sound of flying planes, passing trains or a Caucasian wedding that lasts until two nights, choose a hotel with good soundproofing.
