Оленевка: плюсы и минусы Olenevka: pros and cons

In September 2010 I had a chance to stay in this wonderful place. Booked a room in the main building overlooking the "park". In the end, let's move on to the pros:
- in September there are really few people in this boarding house, no one sits on their heads, everything is quiet and calm
- again, the price was quite tempting
- wonderful nature in the area and crystal clear sea
of the minuses (for some reason there were more of them, although in principle I liked the rest)
- three meals a day, from which heartburn begins sooner or later. People with a weak stomach should not go to this boarding house. I would love to live there on half board or with breakfast alone, but there was simply no alternative to the boarding house dining room in September. All restaurants and cafes were closed, we went to the village a couple of times (3-4 kilometers from the base) to buy black bread, grapes, and, well, eat seafood delicacies.

- now the main disadvantage: several times there was no light. Although this phenomenon is not uncommon in the Western Crimea, there was one BUT. When the light went out, they usually turned on the generator (so that the food in the refrigerators did not spoil), but a couple of times it happened: the light was turned off, but the generator was not turned on. True, it should be noted that these days the weather was cold and stormy, so people sat in numbers and watched TV, as I understand it. In general, I go to the switchboard, look, and there just all the plugs are cut down, obviously in order to save electricity. Naturally, I turned on the saint in my room. Here is such a canoe!
- in the room there is really nowhere even swimming trunks and a swimsuit to dry.
- the lack of the necessary infrastructure in direct reach: cafes, pharmacies, shops... Then, of course, the hardships of godless boarding house cooking would be better tolerated...
- well, and to the above... on the penultimate day in the canteen they really tried to poison me with something! high temperature rose, vomiting, liquid stools - in general, everything is as it should be. So I had to run to the first-aid post, where they gave me coal and an aspirin : )
Summary: rest, despite all the shortcomings, I liked it. I have never seen such a clean sea in Crimea. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the pure nature and remoteness from people with the lack of infrastructure and really average service. Compared with the same Turkey does not go to any comparison. To be honest, I would rather pay the boarding house 15-20% more, but I would not tolerate these jambs.
