Good afternoon! Traveled as a family with a 6 year old. Between 04 and 18 June. We rested well! We really enjoyed!! ! A detailed review was written by the administration. Here I will describe some points that can help vacationers who want to go to a boarding house for the first time. I'll start with the beach and the sea. The sea is very clean, in some places there were algae, but we treated them like a course of thalassotherapy. The water temperature from 4 to 6 did not exceed 21 degrees, and then it rose to 24 degrees and it became very comfortable. Shell beach. There are plenty of sun loungers (but they are uncomfortable, we always lay on shells and warmed up our joints -))). Beach workers (Rescuers) Oleg and Gennady are very responsive and hardworking guys. They constantly come up with something themselves to make our stay more comfortable.
The disadvantages include: the lack of urns on the beach, running water, an insufficient number of stationary umbrellas that protect us from the sun and, of course, the lack of soft drinks on sale !!! ! From the gate of the boarding house to the border of the beach 500 meters, I had to run several times to the building for cold water. The infrastructure of the boarding house, of course, struck !!! ! A swimming pool with large slides, equipped with sun umbrellas (although the management "saved" and the wind breaks the umbrellas), sun loungers. The children's pool (water park) is interesting for children under the age of 4, then everyone rides from large slides. On the territory of the children's pool, there are 2 fonts - a jacuzzi, but the paradox is that only children can swim in them, and there is nowhere for parents to cool off at all !!! ! Table tennis, billiards, library. The children's town is a paradise for children and their parents (set in the shade, there are benches and even in the hottest it is cool there).
There are various slides, tunnels, swings and TRAMPOLINES (the only thing on small trampolines is that the mats are not fixed and the springs are often exposed - it is traumatic! The town is located near the pool and the bar - it is very convenient! The bar has a very limited range of dishes. I wanted national dishes: Lagman , shurpa, fish dishes on the grill (pelengas, sturgeon, red mullet, etc. ), but there are only chebureks, dumplings, pork barbecue and EVERYTHING!!! ! Live music from 17.00 to 23.00! until they explained to him that CHILDREN rest here. There was a lack of KARAOKE, but we hope that the owners will provide for next year. and 1 more dish (dumplings, pancakes, pancakes, cottage cheese casserole) + plum butter, cheese or sausage Lunch - soup (hodgepodge, pickle, cabbage soup, borscht) and always children's soup, vegetables, garnish with meat.

Dinner garnish with meat and fruit, also for an adult they give 50 ml of dry red wine (in a plastic glass-((). They are fed in 2 shifts. 2nd shift 9.30-10.00, 14.00-14.30, 19.00-19.30 The waiters are very nice young girls and guys, it is clear that they are trying very hard. in extreme cases, you can ask the waiter for a plastic plate or a glass. The administration would advise you to hang out the menu the next day in the evening, sometimes, for example, when semolina porridge could be given to the child to sleep longer -))). During the day (from 10.00 to 18.00) in the cafe opposite the dining room you can always drink tea with a cake or cookies (you can also take it with you). There is also a Wi-Fi zone. The most negative thing for the entire vacation is the toilet in the administration building!! ! That's horrible!!!
To maintain cleanliness there, cleaning must be done BEFORE, DURING and AFTER breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Most likely not vacationers consciously there ...... , but children without adult supervision!
On the territory there are paid services of a velomobile - 20 gr. Per hour, sauna - 100 gr. In an hour (during the demonstration to us - there was dirty water in the pool), big tennis, massages, beauty treatments, hairdresser's services.
This year, additional washing machines have been installed, there are 5 or 6 of them, there are ironing boards and irons - all this is free.
On the territory of the boarding house there is a shop (mode from 8.00 to 18.00) where you can buy alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, bread, cheese, sausage, dairy and sour-milk products, yogurts, fish, ice cream, cookies and much more, you can also buy necessary household chemicals there (protection against mosquitoes, sun protection, shampoos, toothpaste, brushes, personal hygiene products, etc.
), cards of local mobile operators, slippers and ......Prices differ from Shchelkino by 0.5 - 2 hryvnias. As for the exchange of money, a woman sits on the territory near the administration building every day, who changes money and sells excursions. The course in June is 3.63. , That is, for 1.000 rubles they give 270 hryvnias. Prices and cost of services in June (but I’ll make a reservation that we organized all the trips and entertainment ourselves): A trip to Koktebel from 10.00 to 19.00 on a six-seater minibus cost us 600 hryvnias, we visited the dolphinarium there and rested on the beach, and the driver was waiting for us . On the way back he took us to the shops of Feodosia. Dolphinarium - I really liked the performance! Adult ticket 100 gr, children 50 or 80 gr (I don’t remember exactly), up to 5 years free of charge, swimming with dolphins 300 gr 5 minutes (enough), photo 80 gr. Cognac 0.5 4 stars 57 gr, Wine 0.7 Koktebel 30 gr, Massandra 50-60 gr, Beer 4-6 gr, cherry, strawberry 25-35 gr.

I think you can talk to the beach workers and for a fee in the evening they will provide a barbecue and a place for a picnic (food and coal can be bought in Shchelkino). You can also rent circles, pools, mattresses from the guys on the beach - It's very convenient, you don't need to bring it with you.
There is a lot of greenery on the territory of the boarding house and what is important, this year mosquito treatment was carried out. Because there are few mosquitoes, they didn’t even turn on the fumigator in the room! There are no ticks on the territory of the boarding house, but I know that during the excursion to Kazantip the girl caught it.
Animation is loud! Adults entertain ourselves, and several very nice women are involved with children, BUT children need an evening disco and children's music, and not modern pop music, namely Pinocchio, chunga-changa, and even better, download Turkish mini disco music and daily at 20.
30, in a certain place to entertain children, learn the "Little Duck" dance and demonstrate to children, they will repeat and be satisfied with adults and children.
Everything in the rooms is very good. We paid for "Comfort", we were settled in a building on the first floor. There is a safe in the room, a refrigerator - free of charge, bed linen is very good, they are changed along with towels every 5 days, a TV. Clothes dryer. The staff is very polite, responsive and quickly fulfill your requests. Upon arrival, I asked to replace the mosquito net on the front door, the curtain in the bathroom, bring glasses for drinking water and put a table and chairs at the house - EVERYTHING was done within one hour !! ! The only drawback is that the entire area between the buildings and the houses is covered with fine sand and the sand is constantly dragged on shoes into the room. We asked for a broom and a rag, they brought us right away so it was clean for us.

I also recommend leaving a spare roll of toilet paper in the rooms during cleaning and installing stationary hair dryers. But by the way, I can say that the difference between the "standard" and "comfort" rooms is only in price and in 1 sq. m. The administration replied that the difference was in the quality of bed linen, towels and TV, but in the rooms that I watched everything was like in “Comfort”, of course this may be a coincidence .... , but when paying for a ticket, there is no specification of the number of rooms and its descriptions. And we were very surprised by the check-out rules: Check-out at 12.00 Moscow time!!! ! That is, according to the local, they should be released at 11.00. We left locally at 12.00 (Suggesting for the future world rules for check-in and check-out. Check-in at 14.00, check-out at 12.00, for this all it is necessary to equip a luggage storage room so that vacationers who arrive in the morning or leave in the evening can leave their things and go take a walk around the territory, to the bar or to the sea. )
And another very big minus is the lack of a qualified paramedic on the territory of the boarding house !! ! I went to the doctor (an elderly woman, Valentina Andreevna) with a complaint of ear pain in my six-year-old daughter. She looked at her throat and said that it was red and needed to be cured, she needed to drink tea with honey, spray Hexoral and nasal drops, and also inserted a cotton swab with some kind of solution into her ear. On the trail. The next day I applied again with the same symptoms: “It hurts my EAR!! ! ”, she again looked at her throat and said that it was still red, but she did not look into the EAR !! ! After that, I asked where the nearest ENT was, said that in Kerch, there was a familiar driver who would take me, agreed on an appointment, but I refused. After that, I turned to the locals and they sent me to a doctor in Shchelkino. We arrived in 10 minutes, the doctor was waiting for us, because her appointment had already ended.
diseases of ENT organs will hire a qualified specialist, because exactly how the future of our children depends on the correct diagnosis and well-prescribed treatment.
I hope my review will help vacationers and the administration will take into account some comments. But I want to emphasize that I really liked the rest in the Azovsky boarding house and there is a desire to return again, but provided that the cost remains at the level of 2011, if prices are raised, then you can already fly to Turkey. For example, for a family of three, we paid 42.000 rubles for a ticket, 15.000 railway tickets, 20.000 pocket expenses (excursions, souvenirs, drinks, transfers, etc. ) - But we didn’t deny ourselves anything at all.
Total 77.000 rubles. , That is, add another 20.000 thousand and you can go to Turkey 4 stars. All inclusive.
