Отдыхал в санатории «Пушкино» с 22.08 по 31.08.12г. Rested in the sanatorium "Pushkino" from 22.08 to 31.08.12.

The second half of August is the “high” season in Crimea, and on the southern coast of Crimea (South Coast) there is a huge influx of vacationers, queues everywhere, high cost, fuss, in general, not very comfortable. Therefore, during this period we usually do not go there. But last year it so happened that after many months of hard work, they gave me a vacation right now. We decided to go to some elite sanatorium, where it would be cozy, beautiful and calm, but at the same time, so that you could easily and quickly plunge into the festive cycle of resort life. So we ended up in the Pushkino sanatorium in Gurzuf. It is 15 km from Yalta along the Simferopol highway towards Alushta. We were warmly welcomed at the resort. The chief administrator, a spectacular woman, Marina Vladimirovna, arranged us in room 303 with a view to the south, that is, towards the sea, as agreed, earlier by phone. Later, at my request, they brought a kettle to the room. The interior, furniture - everything is modern, in good condition, clean. We had time for breakfast, which is here from 9 to 10 am. We ate in the common room of the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the restaurant administrator Irina Vasilievna. The food is complex, but, as it immediately became clear, quite plentiful and of high quality. Moreover, if a person does not eat something, you can replace it. Immediately changed milk oatmeal to buckwheat porridge. We also found out that if necessary, you can eat earlier, and if you don’t have time from the tour, they can bring food on a tray to the room. Lunch from 13-30 to 14-30. There is also an afternoon snack from 16 to 16-30. Tea and a bun are served for afternoon tea. When I went, it turned out that there was one in the restaurant, the others seemed to be resting. For those who were not at the afternoon snack, this bun is served at dinner. After breakfast we went to the beach. It is clean and quite comfortable, the guys and the staff in general are very friendly, which catches the eye. Outsiders are not allowed on the beach, therefore it is quite free and reliable in the sense of loss. There is even a toilet, which is rare in Crimea. On the territory of the resort there is a large, amazingly beautiful park. It was once owned by the Raevskys, the very ones with whom Pushkin was friends. Many alleys, shady squares, gazebos, cozy benches. In its grooming and cleanliness, the park, in my opinion, has no equal on the South Coast. The Pushkin Museum is located in the former Raevsky mansion on the territory of the sanatorium. The resort has a pool with sea water, which is open daily except Monday, when there is a sanitary day, from 8 to 18-30 hours, when dinner starts. The swimming pool is open even during the summer season. This is very convenient, because the sea is not always warm, there is an invasion of jellyfish or algae and other garbage takes to the beach, and the pool is always clean warm water. Since there are not many people who want to swim in the pool, you can stay there as long as your heart desires. The swimming pool is modern, well equipped: locker rooms, showers, sun loungers. The sanatorium is designed for a small contingent of vacationers. It was created for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to be alone with themselves and loved ones in comfort and coziness. Here, for a very reasonable fee, all this will be provided. Disadvantages: - practically undeveloped sports infrastructure: the gym is closed, there are no playgrounds for tennis, badminton, etc. ; - staff - in the restaurant, maids in the building, beach attendants, except for the administrator, do not have badges, uniforms. It costs practically nothing, but it greatly changes the level of service, immediately makes the corporate identity, increases the discipline and responsibility of the staff. This takes foreign resort centers in Turkey and Egypt.
