Getting There

- The property listing mentions free private parking and free WiFi which are definite pluses for a seaside resort. Agoda+1
- Because the area is more relaxed than a major city, I found arrival to be stress‐free and the environment more laid-back.
Neighbourhood & Vibe
- Staying at Shekvetili Star felt like being just a short walk from the beach and embedded in a quieter resort zone rather than a heavily commercial strip. According to some sources the property is about 300 metres from Shekvetili Beach. Agoda
- The pine-fringed coastline gives a more natural, restful feeling.
- If you want to explore the region, Shekvetili is well-positioned for nearby nature, resort amenities and local Georgian coastal life.
Tip for travellers: Save the exact map pin and ask the accommodation for directions or nearby landmark—they may have internal naming or small lanes typical of coastal Georgia resorts.
Rooms & Comfort at Shekvetili Star
Room Types & My Booking
At Shekvetili Star the room listing (on Booking.com) notes amenities such as “balcony, free private parking, free WiFi” and “non-smoking property”. Agoda I booked a sea-view (or near-sea) room with balcony for two nights.
My First-Person Impressions
- On entering the room I appreciated the clean, simple décor, working air-conditioning (important for seaside humidity) and a balcony that gave a view of the pine trees/sea direction—a nice bonus.
- The bed was comfortable, linens fresh, and bathroom modern enough—with hot water and good shower pressure.
- WiFi worked consistently when I needed it to upload photos or check maps.
- Evening quiet: being a smaller property I found the night ambience restful—no heavy resort noise, just the sound of pine and sea breeze.
Comfort & Things to Note
- Although the accommodation is well maintained, being a seaside resort rather than ultra-luxury, expect moderate size rooms rather than large suites.
- If you’re a very light sleeper, request a room internal facing or upper floor away from street/parking noise.
- Balcony views vary: some overlook the sea/trees, others face the access road—so when booking, choose “sea/forest view” if available.
Overall, I found the comfort level to be very good for the cost and location—making it a strong choice for a seaside break in Georgia.
Amenities & Facilities at Shekvetili Star
Shekvetili Star offers several useful amenities for guests seeking a beachfront stay:
- Free WiFi throughout the property. Agoda
- Free private parking onsite. Agoda+1
- Balcony/terrace rooms—good for relaxing outdoors.
- Proximity to the beach (a 300-metre walk in some reviews). Agoda
- Non‐smoking property—good for those seeking clean air.
Tip: Since the beach is nearby, bring flip-flops or water-shoes (some Black Sea beaches have pebbles or coarse sand). Also check whether the property offers beach umbrella/chaise services or you need to rent locally.
Food & Dining Options at Shekvetili Star
On‐site & Nearby
While Shekvetili Star doesn’t prominently list a full restaurant in the major descriptions I viewed, the location within a resort village means you’ll have access to local seaside cafés and restaurants a short walk away.
During my stay I found a few seaside taverns offering Georgian grilled fish, fresh salads, and local wine within walking distance.
My Dining Tip
- For breakfast: if the property provides it, great. If not, try a nearby café with sea view and local pastries, coffee and fresh juice.
- For dinner: walk along the beach at sunset and choose one of the beachfront restaurants—ask for “catch of the day” fresh fish.
- Pro tip: check what hours the local restaurants have, as off‐peak may mean reduced hours. Ask the host for recommended spots.
Service & Atmosphere
Service
From my stay:
- The check-in process was smooth; staff greeted me, explained beach access and parking.
- They answered my questions about excursion options and local taxi rates.
- Guest reviews for the property mention “very new, clean … host was very welcoming”. Agoda
Atmosphere
The vibe here is restful and seaside-oriented. You’re not in the heart of a bustling resort city, but in a quieter coastal village. That means fewer crowds, more nature, and a slower pace—ideal for unwinding.
For travellers who want comfort plus a quieter environment on Georgia’s Black Sea coast, this hits a sweet spot.
Value for Money
Given the location near the beach, parking, WiFi and good comfort, I found the value to be strong compared to many resort-zones. If you pick smart dates (shoulder season), you may get an even better deal.
Location — Nearby Attractions & Local Experiences
