За все нужно платить! You have to pay for everything!

The child has recurrent bronchitis. We chose a place for rest and health promotion. Alushta in this sense is the best suited for bronchitis. Here the air is dry (and not humid as in Anapa, for example), the sea, mountains, coniferous trees. The purpose of the trip TREATMENT! Therefore, the choice fell on the SANATORIUM "Alushta", the profile of which is the TREATMENT (!!! ) of broncho-pulmonary diseases. So, from the treatment included in the price, except for the salt cave, we were not offered anything. Because there isn't much to offer. Inhalations - there is an omron device at home, you can not drag yourself so far. Laser therapy - for a fee (3300 rubles for 8 procedures), the usefulness of this procedure is not yet clear, but it is popular. Tea (anti-inflammatory or soothing) 4 g glass (about 16 rubles), water "Morshinskaya" 3.5 g glass drink 2 times a day (about 15 rubles per glass), massage is the same for a fee (500 rubles session). It is clear that tea, water, and massage should be taken in courses. At least 10 times. We were told that the best thing for bronchitis is CLIMATE THERAPY! Walk and breathe. Why then do we need such a sanatorium? Call yourself a holiday home and people will understand where they are going. There were quite a few people who were disappointed with the number of medical procedures in the corridors of the medical building.
About the rest:
The sea is really not far away, but the free resort beach is decently on the road (not on the sidewalk). Considering that the main contingent of the sanatorium are elderly people and families with small children, this is not convenient. On the beach, a place had to be taken early in the morning before breakfast, and this is in September. It's scary to imagine what's going on there in the season!

The pool on the territory is paid (30 gr per person). Never in two weeks did not see that someone cleaned it.
There are just an incredible number of cats on the territory of the sanatorium. They are all fed, not eaten pieces of cutlets, and I apologize for what all vacationers can watch.
Number-well, you can live, no more.
Food - does not look very good, tastes edible, without consequences.
Playground - needs repair (swings from which quite a few children and adults fell, and the staff is aware).
The territory is a very neglected view, the rose garden could hardly be seen from behind the bushes (it is difficult to call them flowers, rather weeds). In the flowerbed next to the roses, even a few tomato bushes grew.
The staff is responsive and friendly people; good knowledgeable doctors.
There were moments (the children caught a cold when my daughter's stomach got sick and they helped us promptly) when I was glad that we were in a sanatorium.
STILL I was pleased with the tennis court (the same is paid), and just a wonderful person and coach Nikolai Ivanovich.
Summary: if someday we are going to rest in Alushta, we will stop in a more comfortable place.
