Base Valok is located in close proximity to the sea, on the banks of the Arabat Spit. There are only a few buildings within a radius of 5 kilometers around the base, so the beaches here are deserted and clean. The recreation center was put into operation on June 15, 2004, it is located at a distance from any settlements or industrial enterprises at a distance of many kilometers.More →

The price does not match the quality. The descriptions of the boarding house on the websites are a complete lie! Firstly, the administration will not warn you that the boarding house is located in the buffer border zone and you cannot go out of the territory fenced with barbed wire, from the word at all. To get to this "resort" you need to go through two border checkpoints. … More ▾ The price does not match the quality. The descriptions of the boarding house on the websites are a complete lie! Firstly, the administration will not warn you that the boarding house is located in the buffer border zone and you cannot go out of the territory fenced with barbed wire, from the word at all. To get to this "resort" you need to go through two border checkpoints. outposts with total checks of your identity, if the border guard is out of sorts, he may require you to present your suitcase and even your personal bag for inspection.
In addition, no infrastructure is organized at all: the store on the territory, as it is positioned on the site, is just a room in the lobby of the main building, with an assortment of "chips-beer-soda", prices, so you understand, a pack of ice cream - 40 UAH, a bottle of 0 , 3 gin-tonic barmatukhas - 40 UAH, etc. There are no household chemicals, and in order to go to Strilkove, the administration requires 100 UAH per car, by the way, the transfer is also not free, 100 UAH from Strilkove. And all other services that are listed on the site - for an additional fee, EVEN for sunbeds on the beach you have to pay. The territory is completely unkempt, no greenery, the "zoo" that is described on the site is just three starved ostriches and several. peacocks with plucked tails. But there are tarantulas, vipers and bats, and the doctor does not have any serums and antidotes, let me remind you that the nearest camp site is 8 km away, and 17 km to Strelkovy.
The pool is described with sea water and heated - cold chlorinated tap water. A dirty beach, where you have to pay even to lie in the shade under a stationary canopy with a beach umbrella, despite the fact that there is not a single tree on the beach.
In general, sheer lies in the Soviet style and a bunch of prohibitory-regulatory regulations on each door, schedules and prices, how to behave as vacationers so as not to disturb the staff: you came to rest, behave in such a way that you are unnoticed, pay and don’t dare to demand nothing, last resort - ask! The administration behaves as if they sheltered you and feeds you out of mercy, despite the fact that the rooms are not cheap. A typical attitude of Soviet nouveau riches: I bought it on occasion, grabbed it, now squeeze out as much as possible without investing anything. The rest cost us more than in Turkey + negative impressions of rudeness and arrogance in the style of the 80s. last century. . .

Firstly, it is so far away that it can only be reached by their personal transport, which already gives a significant rise in price on the road. Secondly, the absence in the month of August!!!!! ! vegetables and fruits on the table - this is nonsense! For lunch, half a small vegetable cucumber is given. This is despite the fact that the advertisement was different before the trip, supposedly your own economy and you will overeat. … More ▾ Firstly, it is so far away that it can only be reached by their personal transport, which already gives a significant rise in price on the road.

This is despite the fact that the advertisement was different before the trip, supposedly your own economy and you will overeat. Buy vegetables nowhere! this is a base near the checkpoint with Crimea. as a result, if you got to the base, then you become a hostage of the situation: there are no vegetables, no fruits, no trips and excursions from this wilderness! Everything is very dosed on the table. Boringom creepy
Thirdly, the terrain and the interior are a solid "scoop"
The semblance of a pool works only by the hour
In general, everything is difficult and bad, we are still resting, but everything is terrible! and nowhere to go. Very disappointed with my poor choice.

We've been coming here since 2013. It is especially important now - during this time a small child appeared and grew up in the family. The sea is clean and transparent, the beach is cleaned regularly, clean, deserted, calm. After the big city - the very thing !! ! Who needs dancing and dancing - this is in another place) Here, even a disco is held for children))) For those who are completely tired of the sun, I advise you to relax in the Pink Flamingo bar - cleanliness, friendly staff, twilight, delicious ice cream, tea, dishes to order, comfortable sofas, karaoke. … More ▾ We've been coming here since 2013.

Rest on health) Excellent animator!! ! I worked with children every day, you can’t pull the kids out of the playroom !!
I brought a three-year-old child to rest - I did not regret it for a minute. Excellent food, attentive staff, daily housekeeping, clean air and complete unity with nature.
Tamara Mikhailovna, as always, many thanks! Many thanks to the administrator Natalya for helping the vacationers in organizing the meeting - the Kyiv train to Novoalekseevka arrives at 5 in the morning !!!
And what is even more important - there is a wonderful doctor and a whole set of necessary medicines in the first-aid post. For families with small children, this is an important factor.
What can I describe here . . we are already buying tickets for the 2019 season !!!! ! We are going with five families at once))) See you, VALOK! !

We rested in "Valka" from May 27 to June 3. Immediately on the "fresh tracks" I want to share my impressions. I’ll make a reservation, we went for the first time, with apprehension, we doubted for a long time for various reasons - both the buffer zone with border control, and what kind of food was not entirely clear, living conditions. … More ▾ We rested in "Valka" from May 27 to June 3. Immediately on the "fresh tracks" I want to share my impressions. I’ll make a reservation, we went for the first time, with apprehension, we doubted for a long time for various reasons - both the buffer zone with border control, and what kind of food was not entirely clear, living conditions... The result exceeded expectations - no one wanted to leave at all, neither me nor husband or child. Emotions overflow, I want to tell more, in general, I'll start in order.
Firstly, gorgeous, almost pristine nature, the purest awesome air and sea, the breadth of space - beauty! Flora and fauna were also surprised - a bunch of all kinds of living creatures, fragrant herbs, flowers. And wild pheasants in the steppe are generally a miracle, I have never seen them in their natural environment before, only in the zoo. By the way, on the territory of the base there is also a small zoo - there are three African ostriches, a peacock, a donkey, bellied pigs, chickens and roosters. It was funny to watch and feed them, and it is interesting not only for the child, but also for us adults.
Secondly, food, the quality of which is very important for us. I am very sensitive to hygiene and quality, so even at first we were looking for housing with our own kitchen (well, we mostly don’t trust the owners what to do). "Valok" initially attracted attention with reviews and a video from the dining room, it seemed that here you can try a vacation with meals (the kitchen is still not comme il faut on vacation). So they didn't go wrong. The food was very tasty and varied, we were pleasantly surprised. Because the quality of food is very important to us. They gave homemade eggs and an omelet from them, pasta and mashed potatoes like at home, delicious borscht, pilaf, pancakes, fish, meat, chicken - you can’t list everything! Baking had already begun before our departure (we arrived, as it were, in the off-season) - well, very tasty buns and pies : ). In general, the food, in our opinion, is 5+!
Thirdly, very attentive staff. They always go forward, just ask, they do everything instantly. And here is the great merit of the director, Tamara Mikhailovna, who literally puts her soul into the boarding house and quickly responds to all needs, organizing the work of employees well. It can be seen that vacationers are put "at the forefront" and the task is to make their vacation enjoyable. Therefore, special thanks to Tamara Mikhailovna for her attention and attentiveness! Thanks again to the administrator Natalia and the girls from the dining room - well done!
In general, you can write a lot more - about the fact that hot springs and salt lakes are nearby - great entertainment and new experiences. The sea here is gorgeous, not at all like the stereotypes about Azov - it is clean and deep enough almost immediately off the coast. True, we swam only one day, because. the rest of the time it was cool and windy (well, the weather was not very lucky, it’s not the season, after all, and you won’t guess), but that was enough to understand. The beach is huge, sand-shell rock and a bunch of shells - is it nice to pick them up for both children and adults? . The territory is large - about 6 hectares. There is a cafe where we ordered ostrich meat and an ostrich egg omelette. There is also a children's room, but the animator, as we were told, will be from mid-June. They are going to install a swimming pool on the territory - it was already brought in, after our departure it was supposed to be bled off. Own water, from a well, they say that it is mineral (they did analyzes and samples), although it smells of hydrogen sulfide, we set it to weather slightly, drank it and tea, we didn’t feel it at all. There are different living conditions - we lived in a building, in a 3-bed standard on the 3rd floor, there are also suites and junior suites in a bungalow. We specially took the hull so that the sea could be seen. Of course, the conditions are standard, but we are unpretentious people. Food and the sea are more important to us, and marble washbasins and golden toilet bowls do not worry us much : ) So the conditions are quite decent. Of course, if someone wants to find fault, they will find flaws even in the standard. Therefore, this review is only our subjective opinion. We really liked it, although there is even something to compare with. It is especially good here for those who want to improve their own health or improve their child's health - excellent ecology, delicious food, silence and harmony with nature. Very good for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle. For those who crave entertainment, it can be boring - although this is also conditional - you can find something to your liking: go fishing, sit in a cafe, chat with new people. Safe, because they are guarded from all sides, and it’s not scary at all : )
Of course, I can write a lot more, but still I summarize. It is a pity that we have already left the boarding house and did not know about the existence of such a wonderful place before. It's great that we now know "Valok" - a place where you want to return again and again : )

For 6 years Bo Valok has become a favorite vacation spot for our family and our friends. Here you really relax from the bustle of the city, noise, asphalt and roaring cars. For us, the main thing on vacation is: a clean, warm sea, a free beach, the purest steppe air, all this is on Valka. We always have a rest in June in a 4-storey building in 2-bed rooms that have all the conditions: TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, toilet, shower, hot water, cold water, boiler. … More ▾ For 6 years Bo Valok has become a favorite vacation spot for our family and our friends.

We always have a rest in June in a 4-storey building in 2-bed rooms that have all the conditions: TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, toilet, shower, hot water, cold water, boiler. The rooms are cozy with sea views and the main thing is that everything works clearly. A light bulb burned out in our room and they replaced it immediately. The bed, by the way, of good quality was changed after 4 days, the bathroom is compact but comfortable. The food is excellent because the chefs are good and most importantly the products are all from their own farm. I liked the goat's milk, an omelet with ostrich eggs. The beach is super, free, the distance between sunbathers is 10-20 meters, plastic sunbeds with mattresses, "Fungi", benches. For children in general, a class, a mini zoo with a donkey, peacocks, goats, ducks, ostriches. There is a children's playroom. The staff and the administration of the base love vacationers and take care of them around the clock, providing them with a wonderful holiday. Of course, recent events in the country have affected the work of Valk due to its location on the border of the Crimea and the Kherson region. There were temporary problems with getting to the base from Strelkovy. In 2014, they stopped by from Feodosia. Now everything has been restored. The Russian checkpoint was moved beyond the base along the old border (Crimean Autonomous Region - Kherson Region), and our checkpoints in Strelkove and one in front of the base. Travel without problems, the usual registration. The functions of block posts are purely observational, usually necessary in the border zone. There are no interventions in the rest and work of the base. Tanks, guns, too, everything is quiet and calm. For those who love discos, night bars, stormy, noisy entertainment, there is no need to go, here is a rest for children and those who love the sea, air and silence. The cost of vouchers thanks to the system of discounts is much cheaper. We'll come next year.

We just arrived from Valka, and we write reviews wherever possible to tell how great it is here! Far from the city, nature itself, we had such a good rest. The beach is very clean and very large, there are few people. People who work with people, come here only for rest, take a break from everyone, the staff is friendly, no one is rude, as is often the case at recreation centers. … More ▾ We just arrived from Valka, and we write reviews wherever possible to tell how great it is here!

I want to respond to the previous review. I do not argue that from Shooting off-road - 12 km, not 20 km, you need to go very fast somewhere around 80 km / h, and then the road will not seem like that. There are few trees on the territory, but it is constantly ennobled, there are many flowers, various plants, from morning to night people are engaged in landscaping. … More ▾ I want to respond to the previous review.

As for mosquitoes, there are many mosquitoes, but where are they not? Take mosquito repellent with you - it will help! There are 3 sockets in the room designed for air conditioning, TV and refrigerator - at the same time all the sockets are not needed, especially at night when the fumigator is installed. The shower is like a shower, but without a tray!! ! The food is very tasty and varied, the choice is huge for both children and adults, and cereals, and dairy products, and meat, and salads, fruits, vegetables - everything is in sufficient quantity. . . Well, it's just that your eyes run wide, everything is always fresh and every day a new menu - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ! the store has everything you need and don't need, for me and my family it was important water, which is affordable. The exo-bar exists in order to be able to taste the exotic, delicious ostrich dishes, I don’t know a person who, after the buffet, wanted to eat in the exo-bar. The beach is very large, clean and well maintained, there are awnings and sun loungers. Well done animators!! ! The staff is friendly. Thanks for the rest. We will definitely come back next year! Would recommend to anyone, especially those with small children!

Do not believe the tempting stories of how good it is there! It’s bad there - starting from the 20 km road that you and your car need to survive, the territory is dull, they try to plant it, but of course it won’t work out quickly, MOSCOOTS - ANIMALS that will gnaw you from your Children from morning to night, wherever you are - on the beach, on the territory, in the room! turn on the fumigator in the room - the problem - there is no outlet! Shower. … More ▾ Do not believe the tempting stories of how good it is there!

Shower....in the normal sense of the word is missing. Canteen - despite the fact that the number of children exceeds the number of adults - food for children is not provided, except perhaps only for breakfast, the rest - pasta, dry porridge and cutlets unsuitable for children, from which minced meat soup with meatballs is made, cutlets and peppers stuffed, for dinner you will be served something that was not eaten at lunch, possibly mixing one dish with another (for example, boiled potatoes and stewed cabbage = vegetable stew) and not bothering to warm it up. the store - the assortment is meager, for what they buy the price is too high to the limit, exo bar - it’s really possible to order a couple of dishes from the proposed menu, and then the question arises where the products come from and how old they are in the freeze....Fruits are not provided at the base in the dining room, in the store is not delivered, you won’t want to go to the market along a wonderful road - accordingly, you won’t get vitamins in their natural form at a wonderful time of the year! Conclusion - do not spend the declared cost of the base, as it is not worth it! good thing is the beach! wonderful sea! for 10 UAH they will bring you a good sun lounger and enjoy! also to the good can be noted the children's animator, the girl is trying! 10 points for exercising on the beach at 7-00 !!!
Sincerely, Irina
Good rest!

I have been resting in Valka for 7 years in a row. Why? : 1) fantastic sea and nature; 2) silence; 3) eco-friendly place + secluded beach. Rested in all buildings. I'll tell you in turn: 4-storey building - cramped rooms resembling a locker, poorly or not working air conditioners (especially the 4th floor), tiny refrigerator, no proper cleaning of the rooms and change of bed linen. … More ▾ I have been resting in Valka for 7 years in a row.
