Advantages:
1. Location. A sanatorium at the junction of the villages of Gaspra and Koreiz near such attractions as the Swallow's Nest, the Miskhor cable car to Ai-Petri, the Vorontsov Palace, the Yusupov Palace, the Livadia Palace, the Tsarskaya (solar) trail, Miskhor Park. Some objects for excursions and walks can be reached on foot, others - several stops by bus (the fare costs a penny).
2. The Dulber Palace on the territory of the sanatorium, or rather the sanatorium is located in the buildings of the palace. Amazing architecture (although in places it already needs renovation-restoration). Remarkable photo shoots are obtained against the backdrop of palace ensembles.

3. A beautiful old park with many ponds, sculptures, secluded ladders and paths. Palm trees, cypresses, pine trees, aromas of flowers, the beautiful Romanov Stairs, stone chaos, viewing platforms. The park is a bit unkempt, but that's fixable. There are a lot of living creatures in the park - squirrels with squirrels, beautiful songbirds, a yellowbell was once seen (legless lizard, endemic of the south coast).
4. Turquoise transparent sea, fish, small pebbles, sand in some places, sparsely populated beach. Delicious and inexpensive oxygen cocktails from the medical unit on the beach.
5. Vigilant security, polite staff.
Disadvantages:
1. "Murdered sanatorium". Unfortunately, building No. 3 is just falling apart, the emergency condition of water and sewer pipes, cheap repairs in the rooms, which have already outlived their usefulness (wallpaper falls off, light bulbs in the shower room are short, locks are jammed, tasteless furniture is shabby).
2. The food is disgusting, you can't eat it. Tasteless, there is not enough food for all the hungry, the dishes look terrible.
3. Pools. Sovkovskaya rules (no hats allowed, breaks in the pool during the daytime, early closing). Both pools - both indoor and outdoor - are simply stuffed with bleach. It stings her eyes and it is impossible to breathe these vapors. Ruined showers and changing rooms, non-working faucets, it all looks depressing.
4. Gym. It has no sports equipment. At all. No balls, no badminton or tennis sets. Nothing.
5. Treatment. You can't get masseurs. Very small rooms - in one room and mud therapy, and electrophoresis. Both men and women - all together, few showers.
6. There was no animation, a couple of times only the children were gathered for the event, boring.
7. Tour desk. Rude Inessa (I think that was the name of the young lady), who just to make money on you. God forbid you postpone or cancel the tour - you will have to return the money with a scandal. She doesn’t care if your child is sick: “You won’t give up a plane ticket if the child is sick, so we can’t cancel the tour, the company won’t lose money because of you. ” For the cancellation of the tour, they will also try to rip off 50% of the money.
8. Bar-cafe on the beach. No assortment. The smell there is disgusting. I couldn't buy anything for myself or my children. Ice cream is tasteless, body beer, and the main assortment is snacks.

9. Very expensive banana, cheesecake and jet ski rides. 5 minutes on a water bike 1000 rubles. A place on a cheesecake 700 rubles, a banana 300 rubles.
10. Expensive fruits and vegetables on a tray near the dining room. It is better not to be too lazy and go to the square in front of the Marat Park Hotel (it is very comfortable to walk through the Chair Chair even in the heat). There is a market where vegetables, berries, fruits are several times cheaper, and you can also bargain.
