The overall impression is disappointment.
1. Location:
"Cons" - a bit close to the road (night riders often wake up at night. ) A steep descent to the sea, to which rather slippery steps lead.
"Pros" - a lot of greenery. A very beautiful place. Well-groomed and clean territory of the sanatorium (but not Miskhor Park).
2. Staff:
"Cons" - none. "Pros" - too. He's just no. We were never rude, but they obviously did not feel joy about our stay there. It's a shame, after all, to train employees in friendliness and neatness, large investments are not needed.
3. Food: I liked it. Service in the dining room - no.

“Cons” - If the tablecloth on your table looks like you want to puke at the sight of it, then this does not mean at all that you will immediately replace it. Most likely you will admire it for a few more days. On the mugs, you can find traces of lipstick, and you always want to wipe the plates with a napkin, which is always missing. “We don’t have time” is such an excuse. But their glasses for juice deserve a separate story. There are two types of them: faceted and round, similar to glasses. So on the last bottom is covered with moss and mold!
What is your problem with glasses?
- So it's outside and not inside, but I'll change it for you now, - the waitress said, and brought... exactly the same. But even that would be half the trouble, but after a couple of days they saw how they spread them on the tables. They put this filthy bottom in a faceted glass and carry it. After that, we stopped drinking from glasses altogether. I wonder if there are such services in Ukraine as SES? And when was the last time they visited a sanatorium? And when the waiter brought the plates, I always remembered the old joke:
A man comes to a restaurant and orders food. The waiter brings the first and holds his finger in the soup. The man is silent out of courtesy. Brings the second and keeps the finger in the puree again.
Why are you sticking your finger into the plate?
- Well, you see, my finger hurts, and the doctor recommends keeping it warm!
- So shove it up your ass! - the man loses his composure.
- I do so, between the first and second...
In general, it should be noted that the service of vacationers by teenage trainees does not add service at all! They have fun and cell phones in mind, not quality of service! After everything he saw, he asked himself the question “Do they wash the fruits and vegetables that they cut on the table? ”
"Pros" - Each dish in three versions. Plenty of appetizers on the buffet. The food is tasty and plentiful. (although by the end of the term we are still tired of the monotony)
4. Rooms: We lived in a superior room, in the 2nd building

The rooms are very cramped. When they laid out the spent chair-bed for the child, there was simply nowhere to walk. The furniture is relatively new and modern: a wardrobe (in which our not the biggest bag did not want to fit), a table with a mirror, a stool (which have already begun to turn into rubbish, since now everyone is doing disposable), two beds (comfortable and unsettled), TV, refrigerator, and chair-bed. In August 2007, it was inferno. The room (windows to the west) after 14 hours and until the morning is simply unbearable. The curtains on the balcony do not save the situation, but without them there would be a pipe in general! It turned out that the room is not supposed to have a fan, but you can rent it for 5 hryvnia per day. The whole joke is that the number of people who want to take a fan far exceeds the number of these same fans. The first days we were constantly disturbed by the thought, “Has there been a mistake? Didn't they put us in a standard room? From time to time there are problems with the elevator, and garbage bags. True water all the time.
5. Entertainment: Exhausted from the heat, every evening they approached the fountain expecting it to be turned on, but a miracle did not happen. Finally, in the last days of August, the heat subsided, and lo and behold... the fountain began to turn on in the evenings.
Of course, the administration of the sanatorium is trying to entertain vacationers as best they can, which is good news. Arranges concerts and competitions in the evenings. Invites to the cinema, to discos. Somehow the uncle played the violin at dinner - very nice (it's a pity only once)
Still, it's boring, especially for kids. Therefore, they were looking for entertainment on their own. If you go down to the sea, then except for cafes, everything is like in a fairy tale: If you go straight, you will get to the beach. If you go to the right, you will come across the Lokhov shooting range with air hockey. On the left you will go to a good shooting range. (By the way, I recommend it to those who like to shoot. Worth the money. Modern weapons, a multimedia screen on the entire wall. And one of his employees is not a redneck, but just a good person. Hello to him from his son Yaroslav and me! )
You can also visit many attractions on your own, which are within easy reach from here. To Yalta half an hour by minibus, since they go very well. Approximately halfway - Swallow's Nest, Livadia Palace. If you go the other way - the cable car to Ai-Petri, and Alupka. In Alupka, you can go for a tasting of Massandra wines at a winery, and of course, at the Vorontsov Palace.

Conclusion: For the money you can relax and better. And whoever seriously counts on treatment, let him not deceive himself, because. before you get to the initial appointment with the doctor, there will be 2 days of adaptation, then there will be some kind of public holiday, then the weekend. As a result, 6 days out of 12 falls out. And for those who want to heal, I advise you to go to the clinic on the very first day and start undergoing procedures for a fee. Moreover, massage-type procedures will not be assigned to you for free anyway. Only inhalations, baths and water treatment. BUT! More gymnastics on the beach at 7 am. By the way, you can also use the clinic while living in the private sector. Nevertheless, you can and should have a rest in Crimea. And let those who like to stupidly wallow on the beach go to the Turks. By the way, the beach in Miskhor is quite spacious and clean.
