Двумя звёздами и не пахнет! Two stars and does not smell!

We arrived at Azure around 10 am. After a day on a train without air conditioning, angry and tired. But they did not get into Lazurny itself, but into buildings (No. 17.18, 19), which are rented by private traders on their territory. Everything turned out to be much cheaper there, which is undoubtedly an advantage (for example, a day in a double block is 78 hryvnias, sharing is possible). And, besides, it was possible to pay separately there: food, accommodation and treatment (in Lazurny itself, only all together! ). By the way, this is much more profitable, because if you have a voucher or kursovka on hand, then they will try to provide you with minimal procedures and treatment only for the underlying disease, for example, if you have pyelonephritis, then you will pay extra for the treatment of tonsillitis or osteochondrosis (no discounts! ). What's the point of paying twice?
So we went to the clinic in private, went to the doctor and he prescribed the necessary treatment for us. You can be sure that the treatment is cheap and of high quality. Somewhere for 600 hryvnias (2500 rubles) I was treated for 15 days (6 mud, 5 pearl baths (it's a thrill! ), 10 massages of the collar zone (and that's it! ), 4 foot massages (and this is generally flying away! ), 12 inhalations , 7 sessions of throat treatment with ultrasound and 2 quartzization of the throat and nose! ). The most expensive of these is massage and big mud (about 90 rubles each). Special thanks to the staff of the hospital doctors, nurses and nurses. I must say they are very polite, correct, they will always help, prompt, they don’t refuse money, but they don’t ask for it either. There is also a pump room with mineral water (about 3.5 rubles a day), but it is only for low acidity. By the way, there you can measure the acidity.
Now to numbers. Upon arrival, we were given bed linen (by the way, quite good), soap and a tiny roll of toilet paper, about 6-7 cm in diameter, for three for 15 days! Cool! By the way, other private owners on the territory of the boarding house (building No. 13) generally have toilet paper only for VIPs, and what should the rest do?

Then we went to the room. At first, we were offered a very small room, which could barely fit a cot (extra bed) between two beds. We asked to be transferred to another room. This one turned out to be bigger, but later we found out that it was an insectarium. Have you ever lived in an anthill? It was worth throwing a box of juice or a stub into a bucket and a whole armada of ants immediately rushes there. So we immediately took out such garbage to the street, and judging by the filled bins, not only we. In the evenings, mosquitoes, flies, moths flew to us, spiders lived in the room. One evening, returning from a walk, we saw a hefty centipede. I didn’t have time to kill her, and in the morning three fresh bites were found on my mother’s arm. Red swelling like from a mosquito and in the center of each two red dots. I don't know who bit the centipede or the spider. Spiders also lived on the territory (with legs about 6 cm long). Every night, going to bed, I covered my ears with hair, I was afraid that some kind of creature would crawl in.
Bedside tables were broken in the room, mattresses were rusty. The mattress I slept on was divided by two stiff springs, so I had to curl up in the middle. At my request, he was changed, but they have many of them, he is not alone. Change of linen once a week, cleaning every other day.
Now about the canteen. No words, only obscene! I am far from a spoiled girl, I ate a lot in different canteens, for example, in a student one, but THIS !!!! ! First, portions. If the soup is still normal, but the meat in the second (if you can call it that) needs to be examined under a microscope. They put sunflower oil on the table, it's just laughter. One day the three of us tried to make ourselves a salad. Each received 5 drops (honestly, this is not an exaggeration, exactly 5 drops each). By the way, it was a serving for 4 people! And don't ask, they won't bring it! Summer, July, south - there are sluggish cucumbers on the table, almost no tomato, bananas instead of fruits, and the compote looks like water in which plums have been washed in color and taste. You will wait at least 15-25 minutes for your second portion. Generally, they said that they have a service rate of 45 minutes. Are they cooking barbecue? I am such a person, I can eat, I can not eat, and sometimes I felt hungry and lost 2 kg. And my dad, in general, was dying of hunger. The only thing that was tasty and edible was pastries for dinner. Since we did not have breakfast on the day of arrival, like all Muscovites from the morning train, we asked the administrator to postpone breakfast for the day of departure. You should have seen her face, she was all petrified and said that they can not adapt to every train. Now for some fun math. Breakfast costs about 200 rubles, in a boarding house about 600 people a month, most of them are Muscovites, so they skip one meal (if you can call it that) (200 * 600 = 120.000 rubles). Not bad right?
Now about the good, in the boarding house there is a recreation center where you can watch a movie for 20 rubles. Quite a decent cinema hall and only new films, billiards, table tennis and a library (books only for those who stayed in Azure itself). Concerts are often held. There is a disco outside.

The territory of the sanatorium leaves much to be desired, but apparently it is ecologically clean, as lizards and hedgehogs live there. I saw it myself. And a little further, behind the Berdyansk sanatorium, even hares.
The beach from Azure is really dirty, as everyone says, and, well, very small. By the time you get to the buoys, you'll be tired. There are free sunbeds. You can walk to the beach of the sanatorium Berdyansk, but it's far away. There are also sun beds and a clean, deep sea.
Conclusion: housing and food are bad, treatment and cultural events are good.
