The trip was conceived as a wellness trip, but in the end it turned out more
entertaining and educational. Service in the sanatorium "Rubin" is designed for
very demanding vacationers, accustomed to the Soviet level of services and
never been to Turkey. We, not spoiled, were satisfied with the service. one
The trade union voucher was divided into two, it turned out 12 days each. lived in
room type "improved", were satisfied with the comfort: fresh renovation,
TV, refrigerator, electric kettle, dishes, fresh furniture, shower room
cubicle, sink, toilet. Garbage is taken out every day, bed linen and
Towels are changed once a week and cleaned frequently. At first they planned to live in
room type "Economy", but the administration agreed to divide the ticket in half
only on the condition that we take a "Superior" type room, for which we had to
pay the difference between the cost of these types of rooms (per person for

80 UAH in a day). Later we found out that the same set of goods was in "Econom" (I don't remember
only, is there a TV), but the repair is still Soviet and instead of a shower
a hole in the floor for water drainage next to the toilet and a hose with a shower head
hanging. By the way, with water in the Lviv region tension, and therefore in
sanatoriums, and, as we understood, throughout the city, water is supplied by the hour. IN
"Ruby" water was from 6.00 to 9.00, from 13.00 to 15.00, from 18.00 to 21.00,
the delivery schedule was almost always followed (+/- 10 minutes). There was no hot water
only one day, because had problems with gas. Now about the treatment. For that,
to really feel the effect of the treatment 12 days is not enough. Basic
healing factor was seen in mineral water, therefore, to the appointment and
the quality of other procedures (such as massages, baths, showers, etc. )
did not make high demands. The appointment of a treatment program was carried out
a doctor in the sanatorium itself on the basis of a referral issued by the clinic
at the place of residence, additional tests and examinations, he did not appoint and
in general, he did not ask many questions about well-being and health complaints.
I was surprised that the doctor did not warn about the dangers of mineral water for teeth (about
than we later learned from other vacationers), and therefore it must be drunk through
a tube or from special bowls with a spout. After assigning a list
procedures by a doctor a nurse sitting in another office and on another floor,
draws up a schedule for the adoption of procedures, i. e. appoints specific days for them and
time. Both in the doctor's office and in the nurse's office there were always queues in
several people. The doctor initially prescribed, in addition to taking water, only
electrophoresis and mineral baths. In the nurse's office it turned out that the baths
we can only be provided starting from the 6th day of our stay in
sanatoriums, because before that everything is busy. As a result, we managed to pass this

procedure only three times. We learned from the nurse which procedures are free, and
the next day they again ran to the offices: they asked the doctor to
appointed us these free procedures, and then again to the nurse to
put them on our schedule. In general, it seemed to us that the appointment process
procedures could be organized more rationally so that there are fewer
running around the offices. At the mineral baths, the nurse was not too
friendly, so complete relaxation from this, in principle, pleasant
procedure was not achieved. But I really liked the procedure "underwater
shower-massage" - the nurse massages the entire body of the patient lying in the bath along
neck in water, with a powerful jet of water from a hose - in this procedure, the nurse was
diligent and attentive. The treatment was carried out in the clinic and
balneary, which could be reached from the sanatorium "Rubin" for 7 - 10
minutes. Drinking mineral water was carried out in pump rooms (there are two of them),
the nearest one was a 10-minute walk from Rubin. General conclusion about
procedures. Mess with you and offer vying with each other good and useful
there is no special procedure for anyone. If you want the main focus
to do for recovery, you need to search in advance on the Internet for a complete list
possible procedures, understand what they are, and draw up
yourself a preliminary list of procedures that you would like to undergo, then
it, of course, must be agreed with the doctor. About nutrition. Meals in the dining room
sanatorium "Rubin" suited us completely. We had a buffet:
there were constantly several types of first courses, various cereals, potatoes,
cutlets, liver, meat, fish, chicken, a lot of vegetables, cottage cheese casseroles,
buns, three times in our 12 days they even gave us red caviar. Day by day set
dishes did not change much, but we managed to form from this set
various combinations, so the food was not monotonous. Basically,
almost all dishes can be called dietary, little salt, meatballs
steam, stewed meat, almost no fried. Canteen staff attitude

neutral to vacationers, they have never heard rudeness, but also a special
welcome was not observed. A little embarrassed at first somewhat inadequate
the behavior of vacationers who literally stormed the trays with food,
staged a pandemonium and scattered everything, as if from a hungry land, although later
almost everyone had a lot of half-eaten food on their plates, greed
terrible thing! Subsequently, we got used to this phenomenon, we noticed that after
the first "storm wave" the staff refills the trays with food, so they began
come 10 - 15 minutes later to save yourself from an unpleasant sight
food battles. I was a little surprised by one moment: in the morning they often gave coffee or
cocoa, but for those who gaped a little, it was almost always lacking, I think
this is not such a big delicacy, it was possible to pour more. except
buffet in the dining room were halls where the usual canteen was used
portioning system, this food option was cheaper. Plain
the system differed from the buffet in that they gave one type of soup, one
kind of porridge and cutlets, but the quality of the dishes was the same. In general, to the sanatorium "Rubin"
and its staff do not feel negative and have no complaints, we have a rest
no one interfered, the necessary minimum of service was provided, but the general
the impression that the competition still did not fully reach them.
We noted one interesting detail: there was a survey form in the locker in the room
vacationers about the quality of services in the sanatorium, it was conscientiously filled
by someone who previously lived, and apparently quite a long time ago, tk. the form was
dented and covered with large greasy spots. Since the completed form was not
withdrawn from the room by the attendants, and no one fills out a blank form for us
did not offer, we concluded that the opinion of the vacationers of the administration in fact
really doesn't matter too much. About the city. I really liked the city of Truskavets,
the central part can be called quite European, there is a large beautiful

park, many private boarding houses and villas where you can rent rooms
vacationers. In several villas they found out the prices for accommodation, they turned out to be
comparable to "Rubinovskie". If nutrition and treatment are agreed
separately in sanatoriums and clinics, the total cost
accommodation + food + treatment in this case may be even less. There is
city ​ ​ cafeteria and all sorts of establishments such as cafes and restaurants. Can
cheaply rent an apartment or a room in the private sector. Prices for souvenirs
quite accessible. Vyshyvankas are only expensive, but I think they are in other places
not cheaper. About entertainment. Approximately once a week at the cultural center
organized free concerts of local bands for vacationers
several sanatoriums, united by common subordination, we visited
concert of a jazz group, whose performance seemed to us quite
professional and evoked positive emotions. Those vacationers who are not
were content with this free entertainment, could attend concerts
it's raining, it's better to take an umbrella with you. Hope my review helps
orient yourself. Have a nice holiday! "
