TL;DR
Guests report that Sianji’s all-inclusive package includes imported spirits, a free disco with drinks, and packaged beverages/ice cream, though water and ayran service has changed. The beach is very shallow with some seaweed and a not-perfectly cleaned seabed, so many prefer using the pier for swimming.
A more recent report says Sianji's bar has no hard liquor at all (seen as a plus for a family hotel; duty-free covers that need). Beer is surprisingly good, wine is mediocre as expected.
Buffet selection is limited but tasty: vegetables, lots of greens, a couple of meat options (chicken/turkey, cutlets), good cheeses, something always on the grill, oven-baked items like khachapuri, decent ice cream, ground coffee; fruit choice is small (apples, oranges, watermelon).
Guests wanting shrimp and meat can pay an extra 120 euro per day for full-day access to the neighboring 5-star Pirates resort, including use of its grounds, food, and a private beach cabana.
According to the most recent guest report, Sianji serves imported spirits, with Chivas and Ballantine’s specifically mentioned. Draft beer is now available only at the snack bar, while bottled beer comes in three varieties.
The hotel disco is free, and drinks there are included as well. However, beverage service has changed: the water and ayran fridges were removed, replaced with water dispensers, and ayran is now available from the bar.
Guests say many drinks at Sianji are served only in factory-sealed packaging rather than from dispensers; breakfast includes fresh orange juice, and ice cream is also available in packaged form. Imported liquor and cocktails get good feedback, while the local sparkling wine and brandy were rated much lower.
The main complaint about Sianji is the beach: it is extremely shallow, so you can keep your feet on the bottom almost all the time, but the seabed is not perfectly cleaned and there is seaweed. That works well for travelers who prefer a gentle, shallow entry, while stronger swimmers often use the pier instead.
One traveler considered Sianji good value at about 300k for 7 nights for three adults. A room with direct pool access was highlighted as a major plus, especially because that pool used seawater, while the rooms themselves were described as somewhat worn.
