The base is a set of wooden houses. The houses are located in the plum garden, in the shade, they are very dense, they are very small in themselves. A 4-bed house is 12 sq. m, which are divided into 2 rooms of 6 m, each with 2 beds. In the 1st category - good mattresses. There is also a wardrobe, a couple of bedside tables, a couple of chairs, a table. The condition of this furniture is 3. Most of the houses are paired - that is, with neighbors through the wall. Several rows of houses - 6-8 rooms in a row.
parking: the car is parked right next to the house in the shade.
Toilet: common, one, on site, new, clean, cleaned.
Shower schedule: 6-8 am, 12-13 noon, 18-19 pm. The water is heated. Before dinner, there are queues of 5-6 people for a wash.

Meals: 3 meals a day, as stated. In fact, an afternoon snack is given for dinner - cookies, waffles, glazed curds, ice cream. Vegetables for breakfast lunch is half a tomato or pickled cucumber. Fruit for lunch - a piece of melon or watermelon. They say that chefs are changing - but this year they are clearly not in good shape. The food is there, but not tasty. For example, in the morning milk porridge (semolina, rice, millet) on condensed milk. Garnish with buckwheat, barley porridge without butter. Vermicelli once was normal, but then it started not salty - boiled in a lump, sticking together. The vermicelli soup looked similar - the vermicelli was boiled soft and the soup was gelatinous. Vegetable soup is edible, borscht is some water with beetroot. The potatoes looked old. food in one shift 8 am, 13.19 hours.
Beach: to the beach go 300 meters across the open field. Without a shadow. The beach is vast, sandy, it is not a problem to find a place, there is enough for everyone, the descent to the beach is carved into a clay cliff. You have to go down barefoot, slippers are very uncomfortable. Difficult for the elderly and children. Steep, no steps.
Sea: shallow, like a spit. Sand. Adults, in order to swim, need to move well away from the shore. The entrance is suitable for children. We were unlucky with the weather and the sea was cold, despite the month of August. The wind has blown away the upper warm layer.
Leisure: no leisure. In the evening, children are shown cartoons on a 15-inch TV. The playground is a pair of iron swings and a pair of rainbow ladders for climbing. Opposite is the base of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova - there is an iron carousel, a slide, a crocodile swing. Also a sample of the USSR. For adults, there are a couple of eateries along the street. In principle, there are excursions: Belgorod, Vilkovo, Odessa market. Bureau telephones are hanging, they themselves did not use them.
Shops / market: one right on the territory, there is generally a little bit of everything, but prices are 1.5-2 times higher than in Kiev stores. There are a couple more shops along the street - with the same pricing policy. There is no market as such. One tray with fish, watermelons, melons. Sometimes a little tomato-peaches - not a super view and at a resort price. Seeds - 1 hryvnia pile ; ) Immediately they sell circles-inflatable mattresses, children's toys-shovels. Didn't compare prices.
Security: in principle there is. That is, the gates are closed. But during the day you can call in a detour. And no one is responsible for personal things, as we were convinced; ) it was very unpleasant. First-aid post: available - not used. Drinking water: there is a barrel with a faucet, we didn’t try it, we brought our own.

Staff: The territory is cleaned, toilets are washed, garbage is taken out. We arrived late - they fed us without any problems, they gave us a house. I didn’t like the guard’s warning very much - that he would not guard every house, that he would not carry documents, money, jewelry with him. They didn’t encounter it themselves - but they were witnesses when people who paid for the Kyiv-Raduga-Kyiv transfer were simply returned the money instead of the transfer back - so that they could get on their own.
Instead of a trip to Kyiv, they offered to take me to Belgorod-Dnestrovsky without any guarantees for bus tickets there. People called back relatives and tried to solve their problems themselves. Explanation of the base: the bus did not come, they miscalculated in terms... they offered to wait for the bus in 2 days - BUT pay for additional accommodation!
General conclusion: it is clear that the owners tried to bring the base to a more or less state. But it was not possible to rest because of the food, the lack of infrastructure around and the lack of safety of personal belongings.
Grade 3 on a 5-point scale.
