The Levushka hotel is new, solid, without insects, clean, photos from the Internet reflect its best sides. There are no complaints about the quality of the building. But the reality from the northern windows overlooking the courtyard you will see the construction site and outbuildings and you will hear the din of vacationers until late. At the entrance to the hotel, just right next to the pavilions and barbecue, you will see a huge trash can, for some reason placed in the most visible place, so that vacationers dump their garbage there.
Towels, bed linen and mattresses are not the first freshness, it is not clear how washed and smell strongly.
The food in the canteen is Soviet, although the canteen itself is clean with clean dishes and helpful waiters who set the tables and clean the dishes after the guests. Food in 2018 cost $12 per person for breakfast and dinner. With this money they gave a lot of watery cereals, meatballs, thin soups, salads, compotes and other attributes of Soviet cuisine. In principle, it was enough to fill the stomach with something, the portions were large, but pure meat and fish were rare and the quality was so-so. There were no fruits at all, only vegetable cuts and salads.

Seafront restaurant Levushka is average and expensive. We only liked the kebabs and hearty pizza there. It is better not to take soups from them. For an atomic price of 110 hryvnias, they pour over salted ready-made instant soup from the box and add 4 of their dumplings there as an author's touch. It’s hard to say where they get meat for barbecue and chicken, they swear that it’s fresh, but something is not always noticeable. Hot was not always served, sometimes it was obviously warmed up, and once it was even given rotten and almost cold meat, but a couple of times there were fresh kebabs. In general, how lucky you are, but this is the case throughout Zatoka.
Taking into account the fact that restaurants and cafes throughout Zatoka are very so-so, and the canteens are generally terrible, the Levushka canteen and restaurant are in no way out of Zatoka's catering. Not poisoned - already good.
The sea is average. Quite often it was that a large amount of mud, algae and jellyfish swam. We can say that there was no garbage in the water, only what was carried away by the wind after the vacationers. It seems that this is not the case throughout Zatoka, but there are worse options.
The beach is relatively clean, without papers and garbage. There were not many tourists in July. Vendors selling sweets, seafood, corn and drinks were very frustrating. Their voices sounded almost non-stop, often with vulgar publicity stunts. I wanted to be in silence and enjoy the sea, and then these screaming vulgar traders.
For children at the base there are playgrounds, a polite security guard, a closed, fenced yard. There are tennis, billiards, barbecue facilities, gazebos. The room has air conditioning, a refrigerator (no freezer), but the iron and kettle are alone for the entire floor and stand in the corridor. Rooms are cleaned only on request.
The administration is kind, listens to comments, tries to please, but the service is in the Soviet spirit, that is, everything is minimal and on principle, and suddenly it will do. But if you complain, they quickly fix it.
In general, I think that the Levushka hotel is one of the good options for a holiday in Ukraine, but still not worth the money. For Soviet liquid food, washed-out bed linen, a matted mattress, one kettle for all and self-cleaning, this is expensive.
