Всесоюзная здавница All-Union health resort

He returned. . . Four of us flew + a 1.8-year-old child. We flew with the Pegasus charter of the Nord Wind airline. Actually, there are no special features, and they have dealt with Pegasus and Nord Wind before. Flight without critical remarks. One problem is the flight at night. We arrived at the hotel at 7:30. At the reception they said that they were very tired and would like to rest. The "receptionist" apologized and said that the rooms were not ready for us yet and would be ready by 14.00. Expected... Then he said that if we do not want to wait, then he can check us into rooms in the 6th building right now, and move us tomorrow. We agreed and while everything was being arranged and prepared, we went to breakfast.
All in all, we settled in with no problems. Do not stick money in your passport, they do not solve anything. If you liked the service - after rendering, give a tip. The option when you give money before rendering a service (typical Russian bribery) either does not change anything or offends.
Rooms: Building 6 - the rooms are small, without a balcony, without a bath, with a shower corner, with the usual 14-inch TV. In general, this is a "guest house" before relocation. The building itself is located on the edge of the territory close to the road, but not noisy.

2nd building; nice large rooms, as in the pictures. IMHO: the best numbers: 2X11-2X15 (X - floor). The soundproofing of the rooms is poor both from the side of the door and from the side of the window, the doors overlook the courtyard, but the windows: the north wall to the park, the south - to the main pool, the west - the relax pool, the east - to the main building. The quietest side is the northern one, and the sun does not burn through the window.
The hotel itself is very green, so much so that it is impossible to appreciate the architecture, just nothing is really visible behind the trees and bushes. The infrastructure is developed, but everything is somehow clumsily and indistinctly located, you have to look for everything and walk quite far (for ice cream to the 6th building, for fresh juices in the vitamin bar in the main building near the gym, etc. ). Actually it became clear why the reviews are conflicting. The hotel is like a huge luxurious pioneer camp with noise, din, squealing, very dense population near the pools and on the sea. All this bunch of people scurry between the bars, the sea, the pools. The same heap tumbles into the restaurant. In general, a kind of soviet health resort. Someone likes it, someone wants solitude and peace, but this is not there, someone is looking for solidity and respectability, this is not there either. In Topkapi, foreigners still occasionally meet, in the Kremlin - only our people.
All this fun hype is seasoned with periodic nightly Turkish weddings on the beach with fireworks, music, etc. , Turkish families and Turkish Arabs in the range from "headscarf" to "one eye to see. "
Artek, damn it!!!

The restaurant is a large pioneer dining room, although there are clean tablecloths on the tables from morning until evening. There is no restaurant service in the normal sense, but if you came one of the first, the waiters will always offer to bring something to drink, if you ask for something, they will always do it, but then they all get involved in cleaning dirty dishes and setting tables for vacationers and they already not up to you. The food is quite decent, as many have written - there are no frills, but you can always eat. Variety is normal, breakfast is traditionally poor. I didn’t like it: yupi juices (only peach, sometimes cherry is edible), scrambled eggs are prepared from some kind of mixture in bags like milk with a coloring like ryazhenka, it turns out a tasteless mass. They make it with tomatoes, cheese and herbs - this is already more edible.
Cocktails in bars are also based on UPI, but nothing - quite.
In the restaurant, food is concentrated in three zones: in the center of the restaurant, on the southern terrace (grills, deep fats, fruits), on the western terrace - a children's table.
There are 5 outdoor pools: main (warm water), relaxation (cold), wave (did not work, but children swam there), slides with a lazy river (worked for a couple of days), Frog with children's slides.
The animation for kids is amazing. Evening shows are very decent. Adult animation is almost invisible. Attractions are paid in the mini-lunapark and in the gameland.
There are SO many small children.
In bars, the staff with tired doom serves everyone in a row, they are slightly animated only by the Turks, but not much. Room cleaning is normal and daily.
Well, here's a picture. That is, it is essentially a SOVIET BOARDING HOUSE 5 *. Suitable or not - everyone chooses for himself.
