We rested in Gribovka, recreation center "Chaika-2" from July 29 to August 8.2015.
Checked into the room at 10.00 immediately after the room was cleaned after the previous group, and we checked out at 9.00 immediately after breakfast.
ROOM on the 2nd floor No. 221 Building No. 5 - with a balcony, air conditioning, refrigerator. The room has a double bed with large pillows and good linens, a table with 2 glasses, a tray, a bottle opener, 2 chairs, a double wardrobe with 2 trempels, a TV 28", a clock, a picture and an entrance hall hanger, an ashtray, but smoking is prohibited in the room. The floor is linoleum, carpet on the 1st floor.
Bathroom shower curtain, sink, mirror and of course with a toilet. Soap, toilet paper and 2 towels per person, plus a towel on semi-white!
On the balcony there is a place to dry things, on the first floors there is no balcony and there is a floor dryer for clothes. Everything worked properly.

Bed linen and towels are changed on the 5th day upon request in your presence.
I caught WI-FI in the fifth building only on the 3rd and 4th floors well, but I almost didn’t take it below, some on the bench near the building also caught it.
The TERRITORY of the recreation center is not small, stretched along the coast on the first line, several buildings, rooms for every wallet (with conveniences, with partial amenities, without amenities....), little greenery, there is a cafe both on the territory itself and immediately outside the territory, shops, cafes , market for food and industrial goods. Free access to the beach for everyone, they have a toilet 2 UAH. and shower 10 UAH. Paid.
There is security.
In stores you can pay with a payment card, the prices are quite normal, a little more expensive than in the central regions, as it has always been in the resort. On the trading street near the recreation center, through each kiosk, wine and cognac are sold on tap
Nearby is Karolino Bugaz and Zatoka, in the other direction there is a tent city, a lighthouse and further Ilyichevsk.
FOOD (on coupons, can be purchased from the administration) personally disappointed us. Everyone who had a rest last year, and at the beginning of the season of this year, said large portions, home cooking and everything is super, BUT! With us, only three days in July there was food to choose from the first 2 courses and a choice of 2 types of 2 dishes.
Breakfast is generally no for those who do not eat milk porridge.
Lunch and dinner more or less, but it was a couple of days that immediately after dinner we went to a cafe and ordered some other snack like grilled mackerel (60 hryvnia 450 grams with vegetables).
Tea (without any aroma and strength) and coffee (sometimes it was) in containers. For an afternoon snack, they alternated yogurt, fermented baked milk, jelly, banana, peach, cookies, pie.

BEACH large sandy beach. There are 15 sunbeds for vacationers Seagulls for free, but you need to take them from 6 in the morning, we didn’t even try, we took a bedspread and an air mattress from home. There were a lot of algae in the sea and the sand near the shore was rocked for about 3 meters, then you need to swim 30 meters to the shallows - there is clear water, a depth of about 1 meter of a wide strip. You go back out of the sea through these algae hung with green rags. There is no shower or toilet on the beach! There are no trash cans either. In early August, the water temperature in the morning was +19, and in the afternoon +22, the air in the daytime was +30, the nights were cool. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening.
On the beach, traders with corn, soup, shrimp, etc. strained a little, passing by they covered the cover with sand, and the body too.
EXCURSIONS we ourselves organized. We had already been to Odessa before, before leaving, I also studied the Internet and planned to visit Ilyichevsk, Odessa, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky and walk along the embankment in the surroundings. They did everything just like that, even more, because of some troubles they also visited Ovidiopol, the 7th km, etc.
I really liked Ilyichevsk, especially their Primorskaya stairs to the embankment and 2 colonnades.
Our company was friendly, good, - the time flew by quickly and cheerfully.
I summarize only my opinion (after all, everyone has their own requirements based on the money spent). I ESTIMATE on the 5th building (it is the best, the rest is barracks).
The room in building 5 is excellent. The food is average. The beach is bad. The infrastructure is good, it would not hurt to open a pharmacy and not a first-aid post in which there is little.
I cannot say that I am satisfied with the rest, although many people really liked it and come here for more than one year.
The choice is yours, ALL GOOD REST, pleasant unforgettable moments!
