There were a week with my wife in early September 2012. The impression is twofold: there are both positive and negative aspects. We lived in a 2-bed "standard" room, from August 26, the room rate decreased from 740 (! ) UAH per day (with meals) to 500.740 g is more than 90 dollars, unreasonably expensive for such a hotel. In September, the price for accommodation (per person) in the "standard" is 100 UAH per day, this is normal, at neighboring bases, in wooden houses without amenities - 60 UAH per day. But food for 150 grams per day does not pull at all! For breakfast - milk porridge (semolina, millet and oatmeal to choose from) and one more dish. A tiny piece of sausage and cheese on a butter sandwich. There are buns, but you need to grab them early, otherwise you may not get it. Tea and coffee from the tanks - no. For lunch - two first courses to choose from, who went first - they scoop all the most delicious from a common tank. It happens that one first course ends and the last diners pick up what is left. There are no compotes at lunch, they give a "drink" - either diluted powder like "yupi", or nectar diluted with water from packs. Portions of second courses are quite small. Last year, in a sanatorium in Morshyn, they fed 110 grams per day - much tastier and more nutritious! I want to note that this is my PERSONAL opinion: many vacationers liked the food.
The room is quite small, to the balcony you need to squeeze between the beds and bedside tables. The room has new wallpaper and sanitary ware in the toilet. All carpentry is from Soviet times, when it was a children's boarding house. Soundproofing is bad.
The girls at the reception work well, there are no complaints about the maids either. The animators try their best to entertain the children more. The audience in September is inactive - families with small children and grandparents.

The hotel area is quite large: a well-groomed park, many flowers, a playground. The beach is good, sandy, some pebbles near the water. There are sunbeds and awnings. People come to the beach and not from the hotel, but there is enough space for everyone (at least in September). The sea is shallow, perfect for children and non-swimmers. To go into the sea "with a head", you need to walk a hundred meters, or even more. The water in the sea was quite warm: 20-21 degrees. Sometimes, if a cool northeast wind blows, jellyfish come to the shore, but when the wind changes or is calm, they go to the depths.
For amateurs, excursions to interesting places of Crimea are organized. You can go by yourself from Uglovy to Simferopol, Sevastopol and Bakhchisarai by regular bus. There is practically no entertainment near the beach in Uglovy - a tiny embankment, with a dozen "shalmans" with barbecue, pasties, etc.
Based on my own observations and experience of visiting foreign resorts, I would recommend staying at this hotel in late August-September to lovers of peace and solitude, as well as families with children.
