Good day to all, I decided to share my feelings about the rest in the Ai Petri sanatorium, so to speak, the pros and cons. Start over -
1. How to get there. You can get there by two minibuses (from Simferopol from the railway station to the bus station in Yalta), with a change in Yalta (27.32 - Ai Petri boarding house stop). The total travel time is about 3 hours, the price is about 40 hryvnia. By car 2 hours, or a little faster price 400 hryvnia, there is an option - order a transfer to Ai Petri. to return - we buy tickets for a direct bus (they go very often, they arrive in 3 hours), you can return again either by a bed, or by a hotel mini bus (not convenient, only 9 and 18.00).
2. Check-in, check-in starts at 12, but in fact you can get into the room no earlier than one in the afternoon (people check out before 12, then cleaning), registration is long and tedious, 4-5 aunts sit in the windows, they give you questionnaires that you must fill in, after that you will be directed to your room (attention - specify who has the key to the room - the registration office says that the maid has it, BUT, the key is in the reception and you will have to return for it. Only one key is issued, which is terribly inconvenient (of course it can be left on guard, but still)

3. Numbers. Two years in a row I stay in two room suites (building 10). What happened this year. The suite was recently renovated, with new furniture - a minus is the smell, that is, it is difficult to breathe fresh air, you will breathe paint and furniture. What is in the suite - a kettle, a refrigerator (I'm knee-deep! horror, a maximum of 6 2 liter bottles of water can fit in there), a TV (small, 32 inches! ), All dishes, air conditioning, a large loggia with plastic furniture (but only one chair ! ), a bedroom with a large double bed, a living room with a folding wide sofa. They clean often, towels are changed regularly - a plus, the maid Lena is always in a good mood and very responsive - definitely a plus. There is no Internet in the rooms, there is in the hall of the 10th building. Plumbing - no complaints, water is both hot and cold all the time. Elevators - sometimes do not work, but charging is a good thing, especially during passive rest. Last year, the suites had two balconies, but this year one of the guys was walled up with a double-glazed window with a narrow loophole window - as a result, it was stuffy in the bedroom, I slept in the living room on a folding sofa (by the way, the air conditioner is also not in the bedroom, but in the living room).
4. Food. Since it was a suite, the food was in the commercial hall. But! Citizens, it's monstrous to feed men with a minimum of meat! Vegetables (zucchini, cauliflower, cucumbers) are not peeled, slicing cheese and sausages are swept away by evil aunts from vacationers (sara gray, our people are not used to taking exactly as much as they eat, you need to grab it right away and more). Actually, I was poisoned twice in the dining room, but we must pay tribute to the staff - with a hint of poisoning, you are immediately provided with dietary meat and all sorts of goodies : -) Every cloud has a silver lining. Meals by appointment (8.00, 13.00, 18.00), commercial hall - buffet format. Alternative food - 2 taverns on the beach, plus one at the exit from the beach, two if you leave the boarding house at the bus stop (5 minutes), and a lot on the waterfront. Prices are different, but you can have a delicious meal for 100 - 300 UAH (without special delicacies).
5. Territory. Everything is clean, beautiful, comfortable - absolutely no complaints. Road to and from the beach. Fundamentally 3 options - the shortest way up the stairs (146 steps), along a gentle serpentine, by the hotel's electric car. In principle, you will be on the beach no later than in 5 - 10 minutes with an easy step. On the territory of 2 buildings (10 better), 1 medical with a swimming pool (sea water), 1 dining room. In the dining room, you can buy excursions, the press, and so on. There are two medical points, a pharmacy.
6. Beach. The beach of the Ai Petri sanatorium is perhaps the best (after the Respect Hola beach) in Koreiz - two bars, comfortable beaches, a large shady area, 4 wave cuts (diving), a dive club, and a small pier (fishing on a boat, excursions and so on). Cons - you can legally go to the beach on the left for 25 hryvnia, as a result, either you book shady places at 7 in the morning, or you will bathe under the sun (umbrella). Our crazy vacationers again like to take 8 (!!! ) sunbeds for two - the sun, and in two shady areas. From the beach exit to Miskhorovsky Park.

7. Miskhorovsky Park - super, they cleaned everything, put benches, excellent. From the park you can get to a small promenade with restaurants. The second option, on foot to the Alupka park, on foot - about 30 - 40 minutes on foot, there is also the Vorontsov Palace, there is the Massandra tasting ; -)
Rested in July - August, the contingent at this time - a lot of elderly people, small children. There is also a younger part of the population. But if you want to move, then you need to go either to the embankment or to Alupka.
My conclusion -
1. what is offered under the name of a suite, does not reach the luxury in any way (small TV, no minibar, no safe, stuffy bedroom, repair smell, no Internet, no possibility of ordering food, one lodge with one chair, well, and on trifles). As a result, it does not cost 1400 per day, it is better to take an ordinary two-seater - everything is the same, only one room, 500 hryvnia per day is cheaper.
2. food, boring, below average quality, no meat, no eggs, you can get poisoned
3. territory, location, view from rooms that are higher than 7 (! ) Floors. Staff - no complaints, excellent.
4. beach - due to the possibility of paid entrance from the side, it is overloaded, you need to take places in the shady zone early in the morning
I don’t write about treatment - I didn’t use it, although it is included in the payment. Yes, I almost forgot, there is a very decent court on the territory, in the dining room on the second floor there is a gym, on the beach, in a tavern there is a table of table tennis, playgrounds for children.
