We went to this pioneer camp in the middle of May 2012.10 days (11 nights), all inclusive - 1050 for two. It took 40 minutes from the airport by bus. The driver of the tour operator did not immediately find this partisan camp, having circled around and asking around for colleagues, they nevertheless unloaded us behind a nondescript concrete fence with rusty fittings on top. A Russian-speaking administrator of Far Eastern appearance was just fighting off the guests of the concentration camp, saying that there were no blankets, towels were wet, and hot water would be in 15 minutes.....
We arrived at the camp at about 9 am and, waiting until 2 pm for our apartments, had the pleasure of watching the unscrupulous Russians (lucky ones) who demanded either soap, toilet paper, or a metal bucket with a boiler to wash themselves, four of them escaped during this time to other hotels for an additional fee. Subsequently, the best entertainment was to rest at the reception in order to listen to the constant dissatisfaction of the guests.
We were given bracelets on our hands after 2 days, catching gourmets in the dining room (tavern). The bracelets were red and black, without inscription, and the black color was from the solvent-washed inscription of another hotel (La Pela Resort).

Houses for unfortunate residents are located along a tile path, along which carts of staff and suitcases of people with sad (frightened) eyes constantly rumble.
There was no soap, shampoo, tulle, hot water, hair dryer in the room (2 holes in the wall hinted, as it were, about his former presence), there was no remote control for the air conditioner as well as for the TV. Moreover, the TV remote, as it turned out, is not needed because it was there in the form of a heated towel rail. At the reception, for an additional fee, they refused to change the room and gladly accepted a list of what needs to be brought (repaired). It is interesting to note that the first thing I was asked was the name of the non-working TV... of course, I did not pay attention to the name “meter plasma on the wall”, I concluded from the question that the TVs of this brand do not work in the hotel and there is nothing to be surprised about... but when I read the name later this “bedside table on the table” is REGAL, it dawned on me what the administrator was hinting at. In other respects, not only “TVs” can be called REGAL there.
In the future, only 1 item was eliminated from our list - tulle, which seemed like a Big victory!
The room was damp, cold, hot water for 10 days - 3 times, I advise you to "catch" the water from 15 to 19 hours, in the evenings the water temperature was about 20 degrees.
Not only we lived in the “lair”, except for spiders, bugs and a creature scratching and groaning under the floor (not calculated by the method of elimination), there was also a lonely neighbor who sang and led triologists all the time, and probably he would not bother us much if If we had not been separated by a thin door (like a toilet), the room turned out to be adjacent, the toilet paper stuffed into the keyhole gave comfort to our home. In addition, our hole was guarded, a family of dogs lived nearby, which every night, barking and whining, scared away the villains and lulled the residents with a monotonous howl.

I don’t see the point in describing the food, since it corresponded to the brand of the same “towel warmer” with its variety and quality. Feral, exhausted from hunger, the guests fought for a piece (leftover if you were late for the opening of the “restaurant”) of chicken, since this delicacy was not on the menu every day.
The sea is clean and transparent, but it is not so easy to enter it, because not all the stones are turned, and from the massage, the steps on the shore and in the water bring tears. Animators do not differ from vacationing guests, so in 10 days we recognized them once, they were in clown costumes at the bar, probably at parting they decided to show us their true face, or maybe they went to another hotel for a part-time job.
In a word, be prepared for surprises at the hotel and then your vacation will not seem as scary as I described. If you are a vegetarian, do not like entertainment, love children, nature, hardening, jogging in the morning, a real ascetic or just extreme - this survivalist sports hotel is for you!
