One review does not fit everything. Now about the good. The air and nature here are beyond praise. Even in winter, there is no dullness to which they are accustomed in the capital. The greenery everywhere is coniferous, palm trees, everything is twined with green ivy, bay leaf bushes and a bunch of other greenery. The territory is clean, they clean it every day, but some kids have never even heard of trash cans. So the main treatment in the sanatorium is climate therapy. And mostly very good and kind people work here: the chief medical officer - Elena Viktorovna (will help, listen, reassure, give advice, even if she refuses something with reason) any metropolitan medical institution can dream of such a specialist; children's doctor - Gulnara Ibragimovna (attentive, kind, good person) is also a good specialist; the nurses (especially Svetlana) are all attentive, kind, they try to help in any situation, the cleaners or nurses, I don’t know how it’s right, are also good, some diligent ones are really too much; the attendant is diligent and caring. I can say about the educators as an outside observer, since mothers with children lived in another building. From the outside, the educators are attentive, they make sure that the children eat, get dressed, button up, go to the procedures, some even follow the "kurs", some turn a blind eye to this. Of course, it’s very difficult to keep track of everyone, especially since children are also different and say something to some, don’t say everything to no avail. Hazing exists. In the evenings, there are various activities before dinner and a disco after dinner. Once a week - excursion if the weather is good. Excursions are expensive because the resort does not have its own transport and you have to order it, which costs about 25 UAH per seat, depending on the distance of the trip. I highly recommend the zoo. It is smaller than the Kiev one, but the animals look much better and can be fed. You can take apples from the dining room (they give them every day) and buy straws on the territory of the sanatorium, because at the zoo a small pack of 100g costs 5 UAH. But you will get the pleasure of the sea. The very territory of the zoo is beautiful, well-groomed, peacocks, ducks, cats walk along the paths. There are a lot of cats both on the territory of the sanatorium and in Gaspra in general. So lovers will be happy. In summer, children are taken or driven to the sea (the beach is far enough from the resort). In general, the terrain is mountainous everywhere you need to go down, and then climb the stairs. In short, the rest is almost extreme. Treatments are good except for the massage. The time allotted for it is 15 minutes per person. Until you undress, while you lie down, until you get dressed and the masseur himself does not overwork, he tries to massage no more than 7 minutes, sometimes 5. Getting up early, running to another building in the morning or going for a massage after eating is a dubious pleasure. Moms who give a ticket to the mother and child, do not flatter yourself. You will not have a private room with shower, toilet and TV. Rooms of 1 building are designed for 4-12 people without amenities.
