They were two homelands, took eco rooms, on the third floor, ate in the dining room at the base, breakfasts and lunches, cooked meat or soup on the grill for dinner. The prices are relevant, we read the previous review, we lived on the same floor, our rooms were absolutely normal. This is a recreation center and not a hotel, the conditions here are some of the best on the ridge, a large, well-groomed area, its own beach, friendly staff.

We recommend the base, the dining room as well.

You can forget about the rest here. Rooms are not cleaned, for a week never even changed the bed (singing had to take their own). The rooms have old plumbing and furniture, dirty bedding, fungus in the bathroom ...And you will not get your money back if you refuse to live in such conditions. Food - it's all .

Food - it's all ...when you are told there is a summer kitchen - it's just barbecues without any appliances and dining room, where you should not go.
One plus is that the first line to the lake, however, in the neighborhood you can find much better conditions and at a better price.
Ironically, in addition to my family and such a vacation, I feel sorry for the owner. Because, his property is managed by incompetent people (according to the manager - this is a comfortable double room).
Take care of yourself and check where you are going with your family on vacation.

We found the hotel on the net, drove with some apprehension after reading one of the reviews, but noticed that the review was written many years ago. And we were not mistaken, we were satisfied. We have asked questions to the administrator by phone in advance. This is not a hotel, but rather a recreation center in the best performance.

We have asked questions to the administrator by phone in advance. This is not a hotel, but rather a recreation center in the best performance.
We got our own car.
Administrator Andriy, a pleasant, intelligent young man, introduced us to the facilities of the base. We were escorted to the room by a maid who helped with the luggage.
There is a certain zoning at the base - a full-fledged children's corner with swings and slides, a cozy location with hanging benches and benches around the fountain.
The food is very good, home-style tasty, satisfying. The menu is scheduled for a week in advance, but the dishes are varied, not repeated. Excellent coffee, special thanks to the barista Sergey.
We took two double rooms, on the third floor, overlooking the lake. During the day it was hot in the room, at 30-32 degrees, but in the evening the heat subsided, the fan helped. Amenities in the room.
We asked the staff, it turned out that there were no houses and rooms without amenities at the base.
We walked along the local "half-spectrum" of the Gryad, there are many cafes for every taste, from pilaf to fish soup. There is a small market - we recommend fish baked in an oven on straw, smoked eel, donuts the size of a fist, the freshest blueberries (lokhina). Let's highlight the baked pies, they are sold right on the beach around 8 am, hot, with different fillings.
Not for advertising - we and the children loved it, booked for ourselves and friends for four days at the end of August.

There is a laundry on site, paid, it's great. Territory (pros: beautiful, clean, nice to sit, the staff tries to follow everything, well done, cons: an old covered gazebo, I think it will be removed over time). Dining room (pros: very tasty, juices, biscuits, butter and cheese, meat dishes are always excellent, minuses: salads - half a tomato slices and a couple of onion rings this is not a portion for an adult, it was not clear to me why vegetables are so clamped in the height of summercheap). The beach is not sifted, but it is quite acceptable, there are no cigarette butts, etc. , the exit from the base directly to the lake is just super, no one bothered us, there is enough space. Bus station 2 minutes from the base, market and shops nearby. You can buy everything. And the fish, mmmmm, smoked lyash, is something.....I want to say thank you to the staff for their attention to all requests, for the delicious food, we really had a great rest. Back to you next year. . . thanks a lot

Clean beach, , barbecue area, there is a playground! A new building was built on the territory, thank God that I took this Council of Deputies, now the rooms are very comfortable and cozy. Most of all I liked the fact that the base is located right by the lake and you don’t have to go anywhere. We were on the beach all day and night. It is also very good that it is quiet there and there are no nearby clubs with loud music that does not let you sleep. And if you walk a little further, you can find various entertainments, a market, discos, shops. The room has a refrigerator, new TVs, but no towels and dishes. For a double room we paid 550 hryvnia. Plus, there is a dining room on the territory of the base, where they cook like at home. there is free wi-fi. The kids and wife loved it. thanks, we'll be back!

I put 3 because before that we went more than once to the OLD building - everything is fine!
But in the new one:
- forgot to warn that there is no TV (but in my case, as it turned out, this is a plus).
- the plumbing is not in very good condition (we had a leak on our heads in the toilet on the 2nd day, they tore off the ceiling, changed the drain elbow above us. But after that, you still wipe the floor 3 times a day - it leaks somewhere. In the old building it also clogs sometimes).
- on the third day they changed the refrigerator - it stopped cooling.
- not every room has a mirror and hooks (with a Phillips screwdriver you do NOT unscrew the screws to the end - a hook, pull the rope, just quietly, so as not to know - it is forbidden).
- Towels and dishes are not provided in the room.
It turned out more negative - I assure you with such a price (territory, food, accommodation) - THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HOTELS!! !

The hotel is terrible in all respects, you won’t wish it on your enemy, a 2-room suite costing 480 UAH on a total area of .13-14 meters Dirty, no air conditioning, they asked for a fan. There is no soap, no towels, the shower has not been repaired since Soviet times. The refrigerator is old, buzzing and also dirty.

There are very few gazebos on the territory for the number of vacationers. Terrible scoop for inadequately big money. Service is more or less 3 (the fan is still knocked out). The windows do not open, only a small window. I would NEVER recommend going there. Nearby there are many normal cottages at an adequate cost.

I apologize to everyone who was waiting for my review earlier, but the accumulated cases have only now allowed me to sit down for a review, while the memories are still fresh in my memory. So, apparently, global warming is also making its own adjustments to the weather of the extreme Volyn north / west, because out of all 10 rest days we swam and sunbathed exactly all 10 days, it got a little colder only by the day of departure.

I apologize to everyone who was waiting for my review earlier, but the accumulated cases have only now allowed me to sit down for a review, while the memories are still fresh in my memory.
So, apparently, global warming is also making its own adjustments to the weather of the extreme Volyn north / west, because out of all 10 rest days we swam and sunbathed exactly all 10 days, it got a little colder only by the day of departure. So, do not be confused by Internet horror stories about the rampant and prolonged rainy weather of Svityaz, everything flows, everything changes.
And now, actually, about the "hotel".
Check-in in it from 2 pm, so having a lot of time left, because the Kyiv train arrives at 7.40, we went to the bus station, since it is next to the railway station, we took a ticket (42 UAH) for a minibus at 11.40, and spent all their free time getting to know Kovel. A clean, glorious little town, with a beautiful park, churches, a worthy monument to Lesya Ukrainka and a real pantheon near the monument to Shevchenko, everything pointed to its proximity to European borders and it did not disappoint us.
Unlike the tiny minibus Lutsk-Gryada, in which there was even nowhere to put bags in the luggage compartment and we were forced to take one with us into the cabin. The ride is not pleasant and easy, the beat-up Mercedes was packed with people, stuffy and groaning. There are no such people on the roads of Kyiv and the region for probably 10 years (((
Having arrived at the place, Yulia already knew from the previous review that the base was at the very beginning of the Ridge, and this, indeed, was the case, behind us there were only three bases and a field-forest. The manager, who did not introduce himself to us and then also greeted us every other time, "delighted" us and said that all 2-bed rooms are "on the roof", i. e. attic, there could be no talk of living on the second floor, because The "crowding" of their rooms is to the eyeballs, whether it was so or not, but they had to drag themselves along the terrifying, external stairs to their third floor.
Therefore, for people with sore legs, hearts and young children, I highly recommend checking everything in advance and settling on the floor below, at least.
The room, yes, is all lined with wood and, despite the only roof window, it was not hot, when the temperature outside did not exceed 30, there were several days, very hot and stuffy, when even the fan coped with difficulty . . In the room, above there was a boiler hanging by the bed, so the water was always hot and the shower cabin was also in good condition, there was no smell of dampness and plumbing. There was a satellite TV and a weak fridge. BUT, this stinginess for soap, towels and toilet paper, not to mention taking out the garbage and changing bed linen, speaks, in principle, of the infancy of the Volyn tour business, like everything else around. Moreover, price-quality has long been not in favor of Svityaz-Center, there are a lot of excellent recreation centers around it with modern cottages and budget houses, such indifference towards vacationers is simply not clear, like, but where will they go anyway they will come.
The canteen cooks not badly, the food is close to homemade, the menu is scheduled for a week and does not change the whole summer, but since vacationers, as a rule, do not live there for more than 14 days, it is not very boring. Breakfast, dinner - 35, lunch 60 UAH.
In general, the territory is not large, green, and in addition to 2 buildings, similar to a children's slide, another four-story building is being built, but I think that household services will not increase there if the reviews on the Internet practically do not change over the years.
The beach is right behind the building, but very small, dirty and crowded, the sand is not combed in any way, we went to other beaches and to the Central. Lake Svityaz is a wonderful creation of nature, but for some reason it is actively overgrown with reeds. Yes, it is shallow, so a PARADISE for preschoolers, the rest, to a relative depth, will definitely have to walk 100 meters.
The Ridge itself is a dusty country road with shops, a bazaar and a couple of drinking establishments, civilization stopped there during its active construction in the 70s. The disco, as Julia wrote, is not particularly audible, as it is located in the center. If you do not organize your own vacation, you risk howling from boredom and monotony.
As for excursions, this is a separate song, we found them ourselves and literally "bombed" these individuals and the "excursion bureau" to take care of us. Thus, it was possible to go to Brest / Belovezhskaya Pushcha the day before, in a terribly gouged UAZ, over the overgrown, practically, the rest of the lakes of the Shatsk Reserve and the places of the First World War, which took place in those places. A private entrepreneur Vladimir drove to Brest, along the Shatsky Lakes - the travel agency "Active-Svityaz" was late for his own tour by almost an hour. Phoenix, for some reason, rejected us, promising to call back, but never did it . .
Eel, terribly expensive, the most fat and skinny started from 230 to tyshshi.
In a word, build your vacation as you want, then, at the exit, you will get, I would not call Gryada a noisy youth resort, although youth companies (in good drunk, as a rule) really were there, but 70-80 percent , this is a family vacation with children of all ages and classes. And everything that concerns infrastructure, everyday life, is waiting for its Saakishvili.

We first visited Svityaz 3 years ago on a trip to Volyn. We had an excursion program for 3 days and a 3-day vacation in Svityaz. We have the best memories. We remember Svityaz with unusually clear water, awesome sunsets and delicious eel. And now now we decided to go for a week ourselves. Last time we rested in the village of Svityaz. Now we decided to relax in the Gryada tract on the opposite shore of the lake. A friend who had already rested here more than once advised us. number. But here we ran into a problem how to get there. The direct train, which used to come to Kovel in the morning, now arrives at one in the morning. Tickets for passing trains are not sold in advance. It only remained to go by bus. We found a direct bus from Kyiv to the village. Svityaz. It goes once a day from the southern railway station at 24-00 and arrives by 8 in the morning. Since no one went to the Ridge except us, the driver did not want to go there. taxi got to the camp site. You can take a bus to Kovel. They go from Kyiv from 7-00 every 2 hours. Minibuses go from Kovel to Shatsk. It takes 1.5-2 hours. There is also a direct large comfortable bus from Kyiv. It departs from the central bus station at 19-00 and arrives in Svityaz at 6 am. We traveled by a small minibus.
The Svityaz-Center camp site is located at the very beginning of the Ridge. The remoteness from noisy discos and cafes was an advantage for us. Although I read on the Internet that an insane company was resting at a neighboring camp site and they had to be calmed down by the police at 4 in the morning.
The Gryada tract is 6 km of camp sites located in 2 lines along the coast. Most of them are old departmental bases with houses without amenities. Svityaz Center also has housing without amenities for 60 UAH. And two buildings. In one there is a dining room and rooms with amenities on the floor. We lived in a building on the very shore with separate amenities. We got a 3-bed room with a balcony on the 2nd floor. We did not want to live in the attic room on the 3rd floor, because it is very hot there. On the 1st floor, family 2-room suites with a kitchen. Our room is lined with wood. The room has a TV, refrigerator, wardrobe, hanger, bedside tables. There is no air conditioning, there is a floor fan. The plumbing is old, but there is a shower and hot water all the time. The room is not provided with towels. There is no room cleaning. There is a broom with a dustpan in the corridor, sweep it yourself. The territory of the base is clean and well-groomed. , rental of boats and catamarans. Although the beaches on the Ridge They are a narrow strip of land with sand and grass. The coast is very shallow. To swim, you need to walk a hundred meters. But we came to the conclusion that in Svityaz you need to take baths. The water is very warm and healing. It contains silver and glycerin. It very useful for skin and hair and even heals wounds. The water temperature was under +30. We were not very lucky with the weather. Only the first three days it was hot. Then it got colder, a cold wind blew, it was warmer in the water. we didn’t swim and caught the sun’s rays to warm ourselves. It was good that there was almost no rain. The one who arrived after us was not lucky at all. We were also lucky that there were no mosquitoes. In the evening we watched beautiful sunsets. There is a forest nearby. But we were primarily interested in mushrooms. But, unfortunately, there were none. I didn't take with me passport. We went with them on a tour of the Shatsky Lakes. In addition to Svityaz, there are more than 30 lakes in the Shatsky Natural Park. But most of them are wild. We visited the lakes Pesochnoe, Vel. The sand is even cleaner and more transparent than Svityaz. But Svityaz is the largest lake. 4 km wide and 9 km long. Although it is shallow near the shore, the lake is not at all shallow. The average depth is 7 m, and the maximum is 58 m. strong wind.
We ate at the canteen. 3 meals a day cost 95 UAH. Quite decent, varied, large portions. Meat is not only chicken. Who doesn’t like it, there is where to eat on the Gryad. they ride bicycles along the coast, offer pies, donuts, dumplings, potato pancakes, corn. We liked the local dish mannika. They look like zrazy, but the dough is made from semolina with milk, cottage cheese with raisins inside. We were invited to the Phoenix hotel for eel kebab. But we were so full that there was nowhere to go. By the way, we asked the people living there about their impressions. They said that the negative reviews on the Internet are not true. In Phoenix, a 2-bed room with 2 meals a day costs 560 UAH. Not very expensive. But we paid 430 UAH. For this money, everything suited us perfectly. There were a lot of vacationers on the Ridge. Everything is busy at the bases. in vain Svityaz fell into the TOP-7 natural wonders of Ukraine.
We brought smoked eel home. Do not buy expensive and very large eel. This is from Polish frozen eels. For 100 UAH. you can buy a local excellent eel.
We were going to go back by train. But because of the weather, we decided to go earlier by bus. At 13-00 it leaves the village of Svityaz. The bus was half empty and the driver agreed to pick us up on the Gryada. In the evening we were already at home. The train from Kovel had not yet departed.
The Svityaz-Center camp site is located at the very beginning of the Ridge. The remoteness from noisy discos and cafes was an advantage for us.

We did not want to live in the attic room on the 3rd floor, because it is very hot there. On the 1st floor, family 2-room suites with a kitchen. Our room is lined with wood. The room has a TV, refrigerator, wardrobe, hanger, bedside tables. There is no air conditioning, there is a floor fan. The plumbing is old, but there is a shower and hot water all the time. The room is not provided with towels. There is no room cleaning. There is a broom with a dustpan in the corridor, sweep it yourself. The territory of the base is clean and well-groomed. , rental of boats and catamarans. Although the beaches on the Ridge They are a narrow strip of land with sand and grass. The coast is very shallow. To swim, you need to walk a hundred meters. But we came to the conclusion that in Svityaz you need to take baths. The water is very warm and healing. It contains silver and glycerin. It very useful for skin and hair and even heals wounds. The water temperature was under +30. We were not very lucky with the weather. Only the first three days it was hot. Then it got colder, a cold wind blew, it was warmer in the water. we didn’t swim and caught the sun’s rays to warm ourselves. It was good that there was almost no rain. The one who arrived after us was not lucky at all. We were also lucky that there were no mosquitoes. In the evening we watched beautiful sunsets. There is a forest nearby. But we were primarily interested in mushrooms. But, unfortunately, there were none. I didn't take with me passport. We went with them on a tour of the Shatsky Lakes. In addition to Svityaz, there are more than 30 lakes in the Shatsky Natural Park. But most of them are wild. We visited the lakes Pesochnoe, Vel. The sand is even cleaner and more transparent than Svityaz. But Svityaz is the largest lake. 4 km wide and 9 km long. Although it is shallow near the shore, the lake is not at all shallow. The average depth is 7 m, and the maximum is 58 m. strong wind.
We ate at the canteen. 3 meals a day cost 95 UAH. Quite decent, varied, large portions. Meat is not only chicken. Who doesn’t like it, there is where to eat on the Gryad. they ride bicycles along the coast, offer pies, donuts, dumplings, potato pancakes, corn. We liked the local dish mannika. They look like zrazy, but the dough is made from semolina with milk, cottage cheese with raisins inside. We were invited to the Phoenix hotel for eel kebab. But we were so full that there was nowhere to go. By the way, we asked the people living there about their impressions. They said that the negative reviews on the Internet are not true. In Phoenix, a 2-bed room with 2 meals a day costs 560 UAH. Not very expensive. But we paid 430 UAH. For this money, everything suited us perfectly. There were a lot of vacationers on the Ridge. Everything is busy at the bases. in vain Svityaz fell into the TOP-7 natural wonders of Ukraine.
We brought smoked eel home. Do not buy expensive and very large eel. This is from Polish frozen eels. For 100 UAH. you can buy a local excellent eel.
We were going to go back by train. But because of the weather, we decided to go earlier by bus. At 13-00 it leaves the village of Svityaz. The bus was half empty and the driver agreed to pick us up on the Gryada. In the evening we were already at home. The train from Kovel had not yet departed.
