TL;DR
After landing, follow the crowd, fill out the immigration form yourself for free (don't pay for 'help'), clear passport control, then look for your tour operator's rep or transfer bus to your hotel.

At passport control, don't pay anyone to fill out your immigration form for you — it's free and easy to do yourself. After clearing border control, look for your tour operator's representative and board the transfer bus to your hotel.

Hotel and flight availability depends heavily on your departure city — for example, from some regional cities only limited hotel options are available compared to major hubs like Moscow or Kazan. After landing back home, it's more convenient to take a taxi straight home rather than transferring to a train or car.

Some hotels offer their own on-demand shuttle car — for example, a ride to the nearby golf course takes only about 3 minutes, or you can walk there directly through the hotel grounds.
