The two of us went on our honeymoon. Places were booked through a tour company. The inconvenience began immediately. Not only did the train arrive at 4 o'clock in the morning, but also to the recreation center you have to take minibuses yourself. We liked our first impressions: 6 one-story buildings, a separate canteen building, a market nearby with fresh fruits and other useful things, 2 cafes nearby, a souvenir market.
When they invited me to the junior suite, all the mood was gone. A small room with 2 children's beds, from which springs stick out, a refrigerator smelling and buzzing like a jet plane, the cabinet doors did not close in principle. There was only one joy - a shower room for men and women with a water heater right in the building, and the water was hot around the clock, although it ran periodically.
We were fed on coupons, each time we had to stand in line for 20-30 minutes, and not only trays were often missing, but also places to sit. The canteen building was incredibly hot and stuffy, and there was an air conditioner, but the management never turned it on to save money. Anyone could eat leftover food at inflated prices.

The travel agency promised that the beach is 50 meters from the base, but in the end it turned out that you need to walk along the sand dunes all 300 meters. Sun loungers for a fee. The beach is sandy mixed with pebbles and very dirty. There were no places to change clothes. To normally lie down, I had to walk along the beach to the territory of neighboring bases.
The black-and-white TV was the only one behind the lock, showing mostly no sound. But right on the territory of the base it was possible to order trips. We were satisfied with visiting the dolphinarium, the Sea of ​ ​ Azov with the purchase of wines. I did not like the trip to the water park in Novorossiysk: it was very stuffy in the double-decker bus, many felt sick. I did not like visiting the "African Village" at all. It was a scream, the program announced a striptease, which was arranged by 2 men from our bus. Here is such a swindle from Moscow students from the Department of Foreign Languages.
We decided that we would not go to such a shameful recreation center anymore. It's better to pay 2000-3000 more, but live in a room with an air conditioner and eat from the buffet.
