In the sanatorium "Dnepr" is not the first time. On the positive side - a magnificent and very well-groomed protected park, excellent observation platforms, an elevator to the beach, attentive staff.
In the spring in the "Dnepr" it's good just to slowly walk around the park, doze on the benches and breathe the cleanest air. At the same time - swim in the pool, take baths, massage, drink Morshyn water in the pump room.
It is a pity that the fifth building is under reconstruction. In my opinion, it is most convenient for vacationers - walking in the park, as well as jogging "to the dining room and back" and to the hydropathic clinic - with virtually no elevation changes, many comfortable paths, health paths with viewing platforms. The second building ("Stalin's Empire") is closer to the road, for cores and mothers with strollers, the climb up the stairs is quite steep. Although the rooms are quiet, but in my room on the third floor, a huge loggia at the same time served as a "living picture" with a view of the Caparys, the park and the sea.

The ninth building is very good in the summer, but in early spring the same runs from the building to the elevator along the embankment in the cold wind are not very comfortable.
From the negative - tangible problems with the kitchen. Macaroni and old hake in the sanatorium - nonsense! Weak gulls in metal teapots - and even then not on every table; for lunch - compote; there are exactly four sleazy napkins on the table - according to the number of diners - all this is very reminiscent of Soviet canteens. On the other hand - for ladies who are chronically dieting - the food is just perfect!
The Dnieper sanatorium is an amazing fusion of the Soviet organization of "health improvement of the leadership" and the eternal beauty of the Crimean nature. There are no violent discos and "hot sweet corn" on the beaches. Everyone who comes to the resort again admits that they come primarily because of the park, the beautiful beach and the very reverent attitude of the staff towards vacationers. "Dnepr" - a great place to relieve stress. Many really come to be treated - the number of wellness procedures is huge, only you need to come for treatment for at least 15 days. And the price of the rest is fully consistent with the quality of services.
In Crimea, this is one of the few places almost untouched by developers. Of course, the appearance of a private hotel in the center of the state sanatorium (and even right in the grand-ducal mansion built by the author of the Livadia Palace, Krasnov), is somewhat discouraging. On the other hand, there is hope that at least another "elite" skyscraper will not be erected in this park.
