Хороший санаторий со своими плюсами и минусами. Good resort with its pros and cons.

In October 2011 I visited this resort with two children (4 and 8 years old). 25 minutes later I was met by another car. there were three rooms to choose from, we were taken to building 10 and the children and I wandered around the rooms and left our choice for rooms with a view of Ai-Petri. Then I took the children to the children's room (and I ran to arrange treatment), where we were met by a magnificent girl Sabina , her smile conquered my children, there was not a day that they did not go to play with her. My eldest daughter was fascinated by her, as Sabina taught her how to make postcards, crafts, etc. (which she then exhibited in the lobby (the building where the dining room is located , disco and kin theater). There is also a children's disco, after dinner, her "aunt" Regina, a very cheerful and kind woman, leads her, my children ran there headlong.
Nightingale - well, since I grew up in the USSR and I’m not very picky about food (although I like to eat delicious food), everything suited me, although I would certainly argue with the name of the food "Buffet"))). But the main thing for me is that my children were not hungry , and since the choice was really big, they were full, and so was I. True, already at the very end of our stay, we were transferred to the first floor, this is of course a nightmare ((((the hall is tiny, there are a lot of people, if you didn’t come it was not possible to sit down in advance (((the food was swept away as if from a hungry land))) Another minus of this sanatorium is the locker room (((I have no words here, I was offered to go down to the minus first floor, undress the children, go up, walk along the cold hall, then up the stairs to the second floor to the hall where we ate and go back the same way. It just killed me, because I came to treat children, and not get sick (we can get sick safely at home). Therefore, we neatly folded things and put it on a chair next to me.
Now the clinic is where all the procedures are. First you need to get a consultation with a doctor, everything is also according to plan, though I had all the tests on my hands, so the picture was clear, the procedures were prescribed based on the diagnosis. Here the most interesting begins, you need to approach each office and sign up for the time, and since I have two children + I didn’t have one free minute from 8 in the morning until one in the afternoon, though after lunch we were free, went on excursions, walked in the parks, went to the beach and etc. The pool is, of course, a song, such a number of hydro-procedures are rare in sanatoriums, but there is one disadvantage, the tiles in the Spa complex are a disaster ((you feel like on a skating rink in winter ((and it's not about slippers, I have slippers with a special coating, it’s the tile, I flew so much that I beat off half of the nail on my big toe ((it’s good that the head doctor of the clinic came out and caught me, otherwise I would have flopped down the step directly into the pool. Of course I expressed my FE to him, he said what he would think over this problem and disappeared from my eyes in five minutes (he already knew me, since I went to him twice and asked him not to wash the floors with a concentrated solution of bleach and open the windows in the pool for ventilation). I was also outraged by some of the clinic staff (((I have the impression that I came to their house and ask them to lend me money. True, there were also very nice people, for example, a young woman where they do inhalations, a salt room, a masseuse who did a massage for the youngest is just a miracle and in general, almost all women who do not exceed 60 years of age, the rest are malicious grannies, although I found a common language with some. (it's time to change tactics for that kind of money).

Our room was of superior comfort, in principle, I was satisfied: a toilet and a bathroom, a double bed and one extra bed, a TV, air conditioning, a refrigerator, dishes (plates, glasses), enough cabinets and a chest of drawers (there is where to place things. Everything is very clean , snow-white towels, clean bed, cleaned constantly, the garbage in the basket was not stale.
Outcome:
the amount for two weeks is 12.000 hryvnias + our expenses are about 5 thousand. Of course, for 2000 USD you can relax somewhere abroad, but....there is no proper treatment and such nature, where three climates are connected into one. The sea, of course, is like the sea , he doesn’t surprise us (they themselves are from Odessa), but mountains, cypresses, pines and cedars are something !!! ! And most importantly, I want to return there, which we will gladly do this year (the only thing it will not be in the summer, since we have enough of our own summer, as for me the best months for a vacation are May and October).
