The hotel was big, had many visitors and was quite well arranged. One thing a newcomer should know before coming to Baku is that locals don’t swim in the sea, and probably that is the reason all the 3 pools of the hotel were flooded with people. They say that the Caspian Sea is not suitable for swimming. But I broke this rule and went to the sea every day of my journey- morning and evening mostly because of the peace on the beach. To my astonishment, the beaches were absolutely empty.
