We came to Chernomorets for the third time. Compared to previous years, there are positive changes. Why are there only three normal slides and a pool on the beach. : )
There were four of us: my husband and I and another married couple took one standard and one "family number" (which turned out to be the usual standard).

But about everything in order (there will be a lot of text, vibachayte):
1. FOOD. The buffet is quite good, there is plenty to choose from. Two types of meat, fish, two side dishes. It is very convenient that all the ingredients for salads are placed separately - mix as you like. Great pastries and dairy products.
Of the additional meals introduced this year (available not only during meals according to the schedule, but throughout the day), I will note pizza, pilaf, pastries and lemonade. Everything else: pancakes, Belgian waffles, milkshakes, hamburgers, etc. can be eaten, but I didn’t really like it.

From alcohol: from 12:30 to 21:00 free beer (if you ask, they are poured into half-liter disposable glasses that you can take with you, and not drink right there in a cafe) and for lunch - wine that resembles water with vinegar, slightly diluted with alcohol.
I did not pay much attention to the children's table. I saw only Nestle dairy-free porridge, tea, Hipp, fruits, steam cutlets, cereals, water for mixing and a blender.
Having a sad experience of poisoning on her first trip to Chernomorets, she took Regidron and Sorbeks with her - they were not useful.
In general, the food is tasty and plentiful. : )

2. ROOMS
This is the biggest disadvantage of Chernomorets. The carpet is stained, the furniture is old, the wallpaper would also do well to re-paste, a small ancient TV. There is mold and fungus in the bathroom, plumbing is generally terrible. A thin trickle of water flowed from our shower, we had to go to friends who were more fortunate with the pressure of water. On the balcony of the furniture: a table and two chairs.
There are no dryers for clothes, there are tied ropes with clothespins. There is no hair dryer. Shampoo, soap - present.
I saw wooden cots in the corridor, which are placed in the room upon request. This is a plus, because many hotels use playpens.
The administration says that a good repair in the VIP building. Judging by the photos, there really is better.

3. BEACH
Because of the beach, we actually returned to Chernomorets. It is probably one of the best in the Crimea - large, sandy, shallow (especially important for children). There are always enough umbrellas and sun loungers. This year, normal showers, toilets and changing rooms were built. Also added a pool and three slides (serpentine, cascade and kamikaze). At the same time, the height of the slides is not small and they are also interesting for adults.

4. TERRITORY
The territory is large, beautiful, well-groomed. There are two lakes with swans, a pelican and a heron. You can fish, you can feed the birds, you can just walk along the coast.
The territory is well monitored - the gardeners are constantly doing something, watering the lawns.

5. POOLS

Near the buildings there are two adult pools and one children's pool with a slide. Near the beach there is one adult pool. The water is not heated, no matter what they say.

6. STAFF
This time they were quite polite, they were rude only once (the girl who cooked pancakes), and even then not much.

7. MISCELLANEOUS
Thanks to the subscription, by paying UAH 300.00, anyone can enter the territory for the whole day. And there are a lot of these “wishers” (they can be recognized by the bracelet), the administration has not introduced a limit on the number of guests, therefore, queues are formed for free food, there are no seats left in the train, and all the sun loungers in the shade by the pool are occupied by guests.
I do not understand such a low price for visiting Chernomorets. Simple arithmetic: a suite with a sea view in nearby Laguna costs 400.00 UAH. per person, add here 300.00 UAH.
, which can be paid in Chernomorets for food, beach, etc. , we get 700.00 UAH. in a day. At the same time, the cheapest standard in Chernomorets costs UAH 820.00 ...It turns out that it is profitable to live near Chernomorets in normal conditions, and just come there.
The administration should raise the price of the subscription and limit the number of outsiders in the territory (20-30% of the number of residents).

But, in general, despite the rooms and the large number of guests, I recommend Chernomorets for a holiday, especially with children.
