I want to share my vacation in the sanatorium "Ukraine", which is located in Gaspra (Greater Yalta). Firstly: the rooms - (standard 2 beds. ) are quite good, the beds are comfortable, the TV, the refrigerator, the night light and the lamp, even turned on together, do not give light, as if there are 40 watt light bulbs. Hot water according to the schedule -2 times a day, it drains for a long time for 30-40 minutes, you can wait for warm water. There is a balcony with a table and 2 chairs and an armchair. So in January, you can sit down with a blanket and read. It was chilly in the room - the batteries were practically not heated, and the battery itself had 3 sections. The first thing that caught my eye was the odd number of towels, which the staff knows about and does not bother him in any way, because then they will be able to assert with confidence that they gave the towels, and you stole it : ) and be so kind as to pay. . . Secondly, food: a buffet, or rather, a post-Soviet table in the form of a buffet, the main highlight of the "table" is diet food (which you can read about on the walls of the dining room. Snacks: boiled vegetables, carrots - it still somehow fits in my head, but here is cabbage in all colors and cuts in three bowls, and to all this undercooked legumes, pickled cucumbers with onions, and for lunch with beets. . . byaka. This whole "variety" is followed by a table with dressings - sour cream, mayonnaise, oil added. , soy sauce, horseradish. . . (how can you include mayonnaise, soy sauce and horseradish in diets? ) 2-table - Main courses - I would like to especially note cutlets, from meat that was incomprehensible (in terms of freshness) for my reasons, from which later (day 2) it was bad , and to me and my husband, meatballs, Greek women, etc. , and even more so - dumplings! where the meat should be rolled through a meat grinder 2 times, well beaten out and resemble a diet, did not correspond at all to the cookbook-book of recipes! Shame on the chef!! ! and waiters-distributors who do not know at all what the meat cutlet is from. . , but the mashed potatoes were rubbed well enough, but they definitely felt sorry for the potatoes, but there was no water. The first courses, soups, two of which are very good, but the broth, I do not advise anyone to feel the concentrate-briquette a la "Bouillon". In the evening and in the morning, naturally at this place, milk porridge is more or less tasty. Buns - muffin just with sugar, and sometimes with jam. "+" of all that was in the post-Soviet "Swedish" table - kefir in the evenings, pancakes, milk porridge, and tea with lemon. And finally: archaeological excavations have shown - a nail in a seaweed salad. It is very nice to receive such a gift for a pregnant woman. The only good thing is that in winter you can enjoy the pool with sea + 23 * C water. I liked the territory very much - but you can’t walk a lot on an empty stomach.
