My family stayed at the Calista for five nights. We chose the Calista because it has just recently opened and the first reviews we received were very favourable. We were not disappointed.
Check-in was very pleasant - champagne welcome, personalized check-in assistant while we waited int he lounge. Small gripe - In spite of the fact that we arrived around 3.30 PM - our room was not ready, so we had to wait about twenty minutes.
The room itself was gorgeous - a very large and very well appointed family room comprised of a living room (with two covertible sofas) and an upstairs open gallery master bedroom. This - together with two huge bathrooms (especially the master bathroom upstairs) provided a wonderful "home-base" for our stay.
Again - two small blemishes: when we first came to the room we found an hotel technician working on the double sofa bed, which had apparently needed some fixing. You would think that they would finish such work before they send you to the room. In addition - we quickly found out that the second (single) sofa bed was bent, so that it could not be closed at all. Once I reported this to housekeeping, it was soon replaced.
The hotel itself is a wonderful rest complex - a magnificent huge central pool, several other smaller pools (including a young childrens pool and a water slide pool) and a long private beach with a private pier for hotel guests.
Additional amenities include numerous bars (they're all over the place, including in the center of the main pool and on the pier at the beach), a well-equipped game-room for the kids (including a bowling alley) a small kids club, the best-looking spa I've ever been to (and I've seen quite a lot), a wonderfull fitness center and lots of daily events for the younger crowd.
Food at the main dining room was excellent, with a dazzling variety of dishes to choose from at each sitting. We only once ate at one of the a-la carte restaurants (the seafood reastaurant) and found the food to be not as good as the main dining room. All our attemtps to book a second a-la-carte meal (in spite of the fact that there are five such restaurants) were unsuccessful, as the hotel as electronic booking kiosks for the restaurants, which open at 0930 in the morning, and only the "early birds" get the worms. Given our one experience - we weren't too sorry.
The hotel staff were great - polite, always willing to help and generally very good. Small point - some of them (especially those not in positions which constantly interact with clients, such as the cleaning crews) don't speak a word of English, so a lot of sign-language is required.
Over 90+ percent of the guests are Russian. As a result - Russian is the language of choice for most activities (although they do throw in some English). We didn't mind at all, but it may be off-putting for those who are used to an English-based environment.
One of the preivous reviews mentioned construction works nearby. We were slightly concerned about this. It turns out that there is construction of some large buildings (probably other hotels) close to the Calista, but the Calista itself has been fully finished and has beatifully landscaped lawns and walkways. In spite of the proximity, at no point did the external construction interfere or bother us in any way, and we never noticed it.
Again - we continued to encounter small technical blemishes throughout our stay: the elevators in our building both stopped working one morning, which required us to leg it up three flights of stairs to our room, until they were fixed later in the day. The in-room safe just stopped working after three days (probably the batteries ran out); The room-cleaning crew twice only reached our room in the early afternoon, when we had just returned from our half-day at the pool, requiring them to clean while we were in the room.
All in all - we had a great time, and are definitely thinking of coming back soon. If the hotel picks up on the small technical glitches (some of which can be attributed to the fact that it has only been operational for four months) i would say that the Calista is a perfect place for a holiday.

Congratulations for the hotel! Bravo!!
Services were verry good.
Restaurants also very good.
Entertainment verry BAD!You don,t have professional equip .Shows not good only for children circus. Children Disco ...where??? In the evening live music is not so good.Every night you have the same program with the same music, the same songs.Is not good.
I lived in your hotel 10 nights it was boring to listen the same music all the evenings! Please change the atmosphare!
Tourists come to enjoy not to sleep!
The 30 of August You did't organize a special night like other hotels.Why??
I told you all things because I loved this hotel and it's a pitty to not have good eterteinment.
Anyway I thank you verry much for the hospitality Miss Olga and everybody!
