We rested in Visaka in 2015 and 2016 in the summer.
GEOGRAPHY AND LANDSCAPE
The location of the building is just great. This is definitely the center of resort life. In this regard, one can consider a small number of hotels and resorts around the pump room and the market, respectively. Visak is located 50 meters from the pump room, on a mountainside with a gorgeous view of the entire resort and its pride Mount Shayan. The territory of the sanatorium, although not large, but it should be represented as the lower “At the lake” and the upper “Main building”. Visak was built on a grand scale, sparing no expense and with great attention to detail and future guests (which is only worth furniture made from natural solid wood and chic oak windows); a beautiful and comfortable main building with well-designed administrative and medical premises, a cafe and the actual rooms. There are also apartments for 4-5 people, with a mineral bath right in the room (you can only dial it before 8 am or after 5 pm when there are no procedures and they don’t take a bath on the hydromassage in the medical), as well as rooms with a conventional water supply system, respectively, and the usual accommodation for 2-3 people. There are also four detached chalets designed for a large family or company on the lake. The sanatorium also has a swimming pool behind a fence, next to the lake. Although to say that this swimming pool of the sanatorium somehow does not turn the tongue, rather it is generally a separate structure. everyone can use it and for exactly the same amount of money, regardless of whether you live in a sanatorium or not.
Of course, there are a number of issues related to maintaining the sanatorium in proper condition and technical compliance: it flows there, it's shabby here, it's fallen off there. However, this is a question for its director, but the answer is rather obvious “RENT”
NUTRITION
I will say without exaggeration “. . . here is the best COMPLEX food in Shayany”. I pay attention to the word COMPLEX!! ! Here, of course, you can devote a separate article where and how to eat in Shayany. There are places to eat well in the village, but we are talking about food for reasonable money and included in the course.
With separate words of gratitude, I would like to note the food in Visaka, its quality was appreciated not only by the guests of the sanatorium, but also by a huge number of people living in neighboring boarding houses. For this, many thanks to both the girls in the kitchen and the waiters, and especially to that low-key woman who runs the cafe, who was able to combine Transcarpathian home cooking with a sanatorium catering.
TREATMENT
Not without a couple of spoonfuls of poop. And the question here is not so much to the main staff, who, by the way, are trying very hard for their guests and will always respond to any of your requests and try to solve any existing problem. And the question is for the head physician, whom it is difficult to call even a doctor, rather, the person himself has long been in need of medical care. Female alcoholism is of course scary, here it is especially clearly seen how perhaps in the past a not bad doctor turned into a bruise unable to do his job. For all 20 days of our stay in the sanatorium, we have never seen a person in adequate. In the morning, the hangover does not understand anything, at 11-00 there is already a fumes with a slight courage, at 15-00 the drunk barely moves his tongue. Here, perhaps, the concept of a sanatorium is lost. Visak is more like a hotel with good food and super location. Everything related to medicine and wellness should rather be looked for outside of it. The complex of procedures that are offered can rather be attributed to the bath-massage complex.
SPAM
The network has a lot of reviews about themselves - what a cool doctor from GOD Svetlana Yuryevna, etc. This is just spam and self-promotion.
TOTAL
Visak is super like a hotel, but NOT a sanatorium.
I would like to say special thanks to the head physician of the Ostyaga sanatorium Svetlana Yuryevna - she is not just a good person, but also a professional from God. In addition, I would like to express gratitude to the entire staff of Visak, starting from the director Yuri Ivanovich and ending with cooks, masseurs and even the girls who clean the rooms.
We felt at home in Visaka, the food here is top notch, the rooms are always clean and homely. And the lovely smiles of the girls at the reception, in the massage parlor and the dining room, are able to cheer up anyone and start smiling involuntarily.
In a word, we recommend Visak in Shayan to everyone who appreciates comfort, coziness and hospitality.

The director of the sanatorium, Yuri Ivanovich, always goes to meet the client,
sympathetic to the needs of tourists.
Here, in the sanatorium itself, there is a pump room with Shayan water of 2 types - 4th and 242nd.
I have been to many countries (Egypt, Turkey, USA, England, Sweden), this resort is in no way inferior to the best world resorts, and most importantly for a very affordable price.
You can come here by car, there is a guarded parking lot.
Overall, my wife and I were very pleased.
Shayan in summer (and in winter, of course) is very beautiful... The air is delicious, beyond words... It's great that if it's hot during the day, the nights are still cool...
For 10 days spent about 8000 UAH. and it's worth it . . This vacation can not be compared with the Crimean (there is a complete lack of service and cleanliness) We have been abroad and I can say that Visak can compete with holidays in the near and even far abroad... I also liked the family atmosphere, t . to the hotel is small and cozy.
The only thing I would change is to make pools free for Visak residents. It is better to let this money be pawned from the cost of the voucher.
I really want to return to Shayan once again and to the Visak sanatorium.
Thanks everyone.
Anya, Sasha and little Gleb : )
