Rested in Coastal at the end of May this year. This is a holiday for those who have nostalgia for the Soviet service. Meals: service in the dining room can be expected up to 40 minutes, after which you will receive those dishes that the vacationers sitting in front of you did not like, there is no custom menu in sight. In general, the entire menu consists of 3 options for bread cutlets under different names, tough chicken, if you're lucky meat or fish, the remains of which even stray cats of the boarding house refuse, this is accompanied by watery mashed potatoes or lumpy rice. Juice in the boarding house menu is proudly called a drink diluted to such an extent that it is even difficult to determine what it is made of. Infrastructure: completely absent there is no way to buy even mineral water in the boarding house about ice cream, juices, fruits and other things, I don’t say, please go shopping in Yalta, by the way, you need to buy medicines there, because the pharmacy is only in the description in the sanatorium book, and in the medical unit there are only the most primitive means. Housing: only buildings 1.2, 3 and 7 were opened during our time, where even from the south side the sea is almost invisible from anywhere, the north side does not go out to the mountains but to construction sites or trash bins, a bathroom in a room the size of a wardrobe, in some places there is not even a curtain for the shower, you can not dream of a shower stall. The 1st building does not have balconies at all; there is practically nowhere to dry clothes and towels, the maids burst into your house with cleaning when it is convenient for them and are very offended if you ask them to leave. A well-maintained beach is a high pile of unrolled gravel, which makes it difficult to approach the sea, paid sunbeds (20 UAH) per day, local residents who drink, smoke and swear in black on the beach. You can continue the description further, but the above, in my opinion, is enough to imbue the expectation of a "pleasant" vacation.
