Rested in the "Sunny Valley" from 1 to 11 September.
They traveled from Kyiv to Simferopol by plane, and then by car to Evpatoria. And already from Evpatoria by a direct minibus to Olenevka (2 hours). You can go immediately by train Kyiv - Evpatoria, but at that time there were inexpensive flights to the Crimea. If you go by minibus, in front of Olenyovka, warn the driver that you are going to the Solnechnaya Dolina base. You will be stopped closer to it (at the turn) - you will need to walk 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately, this minibus does not go directly to the base. Yes, the path is not easy, but surmountable =) And it's worth it, believe me (clean air and clear sea).
Weather
The weather was wonderful - there was no strong heat, and in the evening there was a breeze - they wore windbreakers. There were many vacationers with children. The sea is warm in early September, but relatives were with children in June - the sea was cool.
Pension

Located in the bay. On the left - Cape Tarkhankut and Atlesh rocks. On the right is the protected area of ​ ​ Dzhangul. The boarding house consists of the main building by the sea, an old manor (it is also settled in), the 1st line and the 2nd line of cottages.
We were settled in houses on the far line from the sea (5 minutes to the beach). We even rejoiced at it. On the territory there is a nice swimming pool, which even at night swam. On the first line of the pool then was not. The area is fenced (and the 1st and 2nd line). The staff is friendly. Upon checking in, they noticed that the shower was leaking - a plumber came and immediately changed the hose for free.
Nutrition
Since we lived in the second town, we ate in a restaurant on the street under a canopy. Those who lived in the buildings ate in a closed dining room. Cooked very tasty (soups, casseroles, stewed vegetables and of course - meat). The restaurant has a bar where you can take juices, wine for a fee. There was a small grocery store in the estate. Of course, the choice there is very meager (maybe because we rested out of season). We took ice cream there when we walked from the beach : )
In the evening, locals from the regional center of Chernomorsky (20 km) came to the boarding house by car and sold milk, beer, chips, fruits and cookies. Very nice people. They took orders "to whom, what to bring. " At our request, they brought a beach towel and a knife (we forgot to take it. )
Taxi
Very cheap by Kiev standards!! ! On the information booth in the boarding house posted numbers of local taxi drivers. One of them drove us to the airport (back home) in two hours. We also took a taxi to Cape Tarkhankut (to go far). People also went to Chernomorskoe for food.
Sea
Own protected beach on the first line of the boarding house. Entrance to the territory by passes. The beach is being cleaned, trash cans are everywhere. There are no sun loungers, but there is a canopy. The sea is the cleanest. The bottom is sandy and smoothly to the depth. Nearby there is a lake with therapeutic mud.
Entertainment
We rested in the "off season". Therefore, there were no discos, excursions from the boarding house. The internet cafe was also closed.

The highlight is diving. My husband and I dived near the lighthouse at the foot of Atlesh. I was very afraid, but I got a good instructor who held his hand almost all the time underwater. Why "almost all the time" - took pictures and made videos about us. Diving school "Pelican" - for info. boarding house stand.

We wanted a secluded romantic getaway - our dream came true. I will add a photo later
