- all the rest!
Initially - 50% of the cost as a guarantee of booking. OK! The second half at the settlement. We arrived - it was raining, the children were whining in the car (to eat / pee / lie down. Whoever with the children would understand) Let them unload things and children before registration and payment - categorically NO! Papers, questionnaires, payment... I will return to this issue...
We rested in a chalet. The best rooms - I'm even afraid to imagine that in others... you can see the prices on the website. Old furniture with ingrained stains of unknown origin, broken handles on furniture, cheap old plumbing fixtures, scratched yellowed bathtub, rusty taps, torn bathrobes, no slippers in the room (after repeated requests they were given on the second day), breakfasts are very meager, the children's room is old broken toys, babysitting services are not even available for an additional fee, wi-fi does not work everywhere and is sooo bad, room cleaning - with staff access, i. e. they clean around 15:00 and I should be there at that time. Strange. . . And it was all flowers. Everyone thought that he would get used to / fall in love with. BUT!! ! Due to weather conditions, one of the evenings there was no light (it had snowed for a day before that, a wire break is quite predictable). There are no candles. The generator does not turn on - the diesel fuel is over. The whole complex without electricity for an hour and a half. Is it difficult to have a supply of fuel for the generator ?? ? Okay, I'm silent about the lack of mobile communications for 2 days, it's not their fault...
Let's get back to the Finnish side! There was a situation at home, there was a question about an early departure. Given the conditions, I really wanted to leave... By the way, we stayed there for 3 days (the same 50% guaranteed booking. The reservation was for 6 nights). They don’t want to return the money... a wave of misunderstanding on the part of the administrator and director. They keep repeating one thing - "Such rules! We are counting on this money. " WHAT?? ? After an unpleasant conversation, they agreed to return part of the money for unlived days, but they could not get a refund in one day. I called the Kyiv office, sent them a photo, described the situation. Didn't receive any feedback. The review was not published on the site. Very unpleasant aftertaste, boorish attitude of management, ruined vacation, lost money!
I do NOT recommend this complex!
To start with your "junior suite". . . For 1050 UAH per day!!!
After all, initially you will be offered a "junior suite-old" (or without repair... ) something like that !! ! It has old furniture, a dirty carpet, a very small shower cabin and, of course, a KITCHEN WASH in the bathroom!!!
These rooms are also designed for clients with children, as the "new junior suites" are protected from small vacationers))
"Junior Suite-new") is the one that is renovated)) with good furniture and a standard restroom!
But you can get it if you don't "eat" that old one.
Let's start from the very beginning. Arrival. There is no transfer system as such. The maximum - they will call you a taxi, but for some reason, on average, 50-100 hryvnias more expensive per person than if you yourself agreed with minibuses at the station in Frankivsk. By the way, a seat in a minibus costs about 150 UAH.
Okay, we arrived, settled in quickly, we go into the room ...Everything seems to be fine. BUT! Having cooled slightly after the trip, you find that it is cold in the houses. It's okay to be so cold.
Before our arrival, it rained for a week, the temperature was not high, and in the evening, dressed warmly, we burned firewood and drank herbal tea, because we almost "gave oak" from the cold. Thank heavens, every day the weather was getting better, and that's why it was getting warmer in the houses. So in the evenings we already managed without a fireplace and froze only in the morning, reluctantly pulling our bodies out from under a warm blanket. To be honest, it's a strange policy - they say, it's not winter, why heat it?
By the way, since we are talking about the bedroom, then be prepared to fight for a warm sheepskin rug - it is only on one side of the bed, and its price on a cold Carpathian morning is equal to the price of a bottle of water on a hot Egyptian day. To better see your companion in battle, grab a flashlight - in the bedrooms there are only wall sconces and lamps on the bedside tables; there is no chandelier on the ceiling, so you will live in eternal twilight.
Do not take a lot of things either: there is no wardrobe in the bedrooms; there is only a cabinet for 2 medium and 1 large drawer, so most of the clothes will comfortably huddle in a suitcase by the bed. Outerwear was more fortunate - there is a closet on the ground floor. Do not expect to place other things there - it is not adapted for this, and you will quickly get tired of running back and forth in the morning.
If you suddenly want to ventilate the room, do not hope. In both rooms, the windows were broken because some local alcoholic molfar designed them, and not an architect - a window opening of such a size that the window sags under its own weight when open and breaks the lower hinge. It's bullshit, little ones.
Waking up, put on disposable slippers (which you will never change until you ask) and put on a terrible quality bathrobe.
More about him, because I have never seen such an ass: it is made of the same fabric as a fucking soviet waffle towel! Waffle robe, Carl! In the room for 2200 per day! It is clear that you can forget about the feeling of warmth and comfort in it.
Then you stomp into the bathroom. Here is a small note: the bathrooms are located on different floors, so if you come with a group, you will have to decide right away who will wake up like a gentleman and go to the bathroom, and who, like a serf, will go down to the first floor to the shower room. Because if you put all the hygiene items in only one VK, you will have to hammer on the door so that the one who is there will give them to you, which, you see, is not very pleasant for the latter. And most likely you will just be culturally sent to the valley with the phrase "I'm in the shower" or "believe me, you don't want to come in. " Or you will have to wait long and tediously until the other does all his business and passes the baton to you.
This moment is somehow not thought out. You think, so what, I’m just passing the time reading the morning news feed? And banosh between your nose - Wi-Fi in the chalet works so badly that it seems that it is transferred to Lavender from fucking Bukovel.
Okay, you got to the shower, climbed in, lathered ...And that's it. You can put soap in your mouth, even in the asshole, because there are no shelves in the shower cabin of a room for 2200 per day. I had to be smart - I placed it in the groove between the sliding door of the booth and its wall. In a room with a bathroom (on the 2nd floor) there is no such problem. Fortunately, hot water is present both there and there. However, please note that after 22.00 the pressure drops, and by 23 it disappears altogether. There are also questions about the frequency of updating bathroom accessories - again, until you ask, you can even wash yourself with clay and coffee grounds. Although it’s better not to - the drains are already clogged and the water flows slowly, little by little ...
Well, okay, let's say you woke up, washed, then - breakfast. I mean, a local restaurant. This is a gesture, in general. Breakfast - tough tin, in particular. To be honest, I have the impression that I'm not on a vacation tour in a luxury hotel, but something a la "Carpathians savage". If we talk about the restaurant in general, then it is expensive, not only for Tatarov, but rather even for the level of cooking. I won’t name exact prices, but they are at the level of an average restaurant - 250-300 hryvnias per person. This is if you eat whatever you want, but without alcohol. The minimum normal food intake is 150-200. It's not a day, if that. And at a time. Cooking is extremely mediocre and cooks an average of 25-30 minutes. That is, you come to a restaurant, pay like in a restaurant, wait like in a restaurant, and they take you out the usual? ram on a stick - like in a canteen. There is nothing restaurant-like in food - with a stretch you can call it the level of the "Pot-bellied Hut", but even then some dishes work out better for them.
Service? "Neither shaky, nor roll. "
Tables are not served. Everything - forks, spoons, knives - must be taken by yourself. After the dishes, the stump is clear, the appliances do not change. The dishes are also not removed - empty dirty plates will accompany you until the end of the meal. I think you have already guessed that it is not worth mentioning any promptness and professionalism of the waiters. They smile every other time, and thanks for that. And you will wait for the menu as long as the Jews were waiting for an independent country. So even the cooking that they bring to you will seem like the food of the gods, which they simply did not finish and generously lowered to you.
Oh yes, I do not advise you to sit down at the table closest to the stairs, otherwise you will have a meal to the accompaniment of grunting plates and the clatter of waiters.
In short, so this is the Tatar view of what should be, I'm not afraid of this word, a restaurant, his mother.
Oh yes, breakfast. Well, forgive me, pi#dets. For a long time I have not seen sausages and sausages made of paper.
In fact, they buy people the cheapest sausages for breakfast! This is a complete alles! That is, they are so cheap that if you find a place where they sell the saaaaama cheap sausages and sausages and tell the seller "pssst, guy, but there is even cheaper", then he will tell you no! Because Lavender sells them. Omelette. Their omelet is such a Western Ukrainian pancake with an egg. Seriously. There's just an unreal amount of flour. I don’t know why they do this, but you can safely eat an omelet for dessert with jam and tea. By the way, there are problems with it: black tea in Lavender is a popular and scarce thing. If they drank it before you (if there was one at all), then God forbid, there will be a new one only tomorrow - momentarily no one updates anything. In general, sometimes there is no tea, and if there is, then this is a fucking Greenfield for 1.50 UAH / bag. And you wanted custard? Wake up.
I can’t help but highlight the banoche in Lavender, or rather the cracklings.
Guys, I'm drunk on the board with my eyes closed on a piece of metal heated in a fire in the rain in the forest, I'll fry greaves better! Because these are stupidly heated square pieces of bacon. Someone tell the cook that greaves are from the word "squash".
Okay, we've had some food, can we go watch TV? Well, you can, of course. Only the sound of the transmission will be constantly accompanied by some incomprehensible humming and buzzing. And most importantly, understand what the hell is this sore, because no matter what you click, it does not disappear.
Well, God be with him! They did not come to the Carpathians to sit in front of a box. Better shake the fat and play table tennis. Oops! There is only 1 table, and if you didn’t have time, then bye-bye, another time. And if you are not as lucky as we are, and some overworked athletes live with you in the hotel, who do not get off this poor table all day and night like a eunuch, to which everything returned, from a girl, then there will be no other time.
No luck with tennis = / And it was so difficult to put 1 more table ...
Then let's ride the bikes. But, again, this is if they still remain. Because there are only 5 of them for the entire hotel, and whoever gets up first gets to ride. And believe me, even these killed ones will be great for your happiness, because Lavender is in the very asshole - at the end of the village, and it takes about an hour to get to the rental - to the center. So forget about walking to the store - you need to buy everything you need right away, in advance, because the Vuiks didn’t think of making an affordable store either.
By the way, about the location - it's "mommy'm dying. " The hotel is located right next to the road, along which, like on the way "From the Varangians to the rivers", caravans of trucks drive back and forth around the clock. There can be no talk of any fresh air - your entire stay will be connected with walks along this road, because there is no forest or just a deepening of the village nearby.
The peculiarity of Tatarov is that it is stretched along the road.
Okay, what about the quality of housekeeping? I can only say that one morning I found a haymaker spider in the bathroom and deliberately did not tell anyone about it - I wondered how long it would live there, when it would be removed. In general, the spider, as I understand it, has been living there since the opening of the hotel and no one has bothered him for a long time. Maybe even feed. And what did you expect if there are only three cleaners for such a huge complex! Three! Three unfortunate women in such a hotel! Of course they clean up accordingly - for the sake of appearance. At what, even if you are present in the room. But no pretense.
In the evening, driving away such stress, you most likely want to set the heat on your companion. Only all Lavender will know about it - the bed creaks as if you are having sex not with your wife, but with her. What is violent and harsh.
You can, of course, go to complain to the reception, but most likely there will be no one there. The administrator always disappears somewhere...
In general, such things. I do not advise you to go to Lavender, and even to Tatarov himself. There is no service here, and Lavender, in comparison with other local hotels, is not so bad yet. In the restaurant "Paciorki" and "Olga" we came across a fly and a wasp, respectively. Better take a simpler room or pay extra and go to Bukovel. Here everything is clear.
We chose between hotels: "Three Sons and Daughter", "Medvezha Vezha", "Olga's", "Lavender Country Club" .....we chose by reviews, by sites, by location, by rooms, by food, by territory etc.......
Out of all we settled on "Lavender Country Club" and didn't regret it!! ! !
The most important and basic (for us), "Lavender Country Club" is located in the foothill valley, away from the road, and THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT, because there is no noise, dust and I want to be in nature and not on the autobahn. There are MANY hotels, the same number of offers, but EVERYONE is silent about the track, and there it is a scourge ....that is. to. there is little free land in the foothills.
About the hotel "Lavanda Country Club", The hotel is NEW, clean, well maintained, the rooms are SUPER...
The rooms are clean everywhere, the beds are all new, the bathroom SHINES. . no fungus, mold, etc. Cleaning in the rooms every day ! ! !
The territory of the HOTEL is guarded all 24 hours.
I especially want to THANK the Managers - ELENA and NATALIA, you are the BEST !! ! ! !
In a nutshell, we came to them with two families and it so happened that the children fell ill in turn, inflammation of the kidney and tonsillitis .....! ! ! ! So Elena and Natalya found doctors (in the mountains) for us, ordered medicines for us at the intercept, organized a trip to the hospital .....no comments, it's expensive ! ! !
And yet, in the "Lavender Country Club", I can not help but THANK YOU, there is a MAGIC WIZARD Chef - Cook Nikolai Nikolaevich, yesaaaaaaa .....I went with the thought of being in the gym ...with this thought I returned from there and home .....what simulators ...He is really a talent, any cuisine - Turkish, Hutsul, Tatar, Polish, Romanian, etc. ......if you go ...You will understand me. Thank you Nikolai Nikolaevich !!!! ! !
As for active recreation, vouchers are sold on the territory of the hotel in any direction, despite the fact that you can walk in the neighborhood yourself or take a taxi, taxis here are expensive 1 km costs 10 UAH ....you can also ride on a ride, so cheaper.
"Lavanda Country Club" is very conveniently located, 7 km to Bukovel. , to Vorokhta - 15 km, to Yaremche - 25 km. everything is close and comfortable, plus there is a reserve nearby (towards Bukovel) and waterfalls, including the Guk waterfall.
The places here are chic and WE ARE HAPPY HERE !! ! !
And to summarize "Lavender Country Club", a decent HOTEL, no worse than Turkish FIVES, and maybe BETTER !! ! ! !
It's nonsense that they only have ONE breakfast from 9-00 to 11-00 .....because no one drives you in the neck after entering here in 15 minutes ....and for this we have breakfast from 9-00 to 11-00 until the doors are closed .......but I don’t want to have lunch later ! ! !
I forgot to mention the hotel "Olga's" .....it's right here. . through the same ROAD ....they have the same WORTHY cuisine and TWO GORGEOUS KUMAS rule there ....so for a change, I advise them to you too ! ! !
In general, we are all VERY satisfied, rested, recovered, tanned, the children are happy !! ! !
It's hard to get back to work now... .
Minus - everything is according to the rules, and the company (40 people) that rents almost the entire hotel could be some exceptions.
shaved lavender and did not regret it. based on river views and reviews.
- the territory is good, the river along the hotel is excellent, the rooms are very cozy and comfortable, the staff is helpful, the food is very tasty.
- to Bukovel half an hour by bus.
- were in hotels around: Olga, paciorka, deluxe Tatars. Lavender is the best.
- did not like: the smell of water from the tap and its weak pressure. But it didn't spoil the holiday at all.
For outdoor enthusiasts are great, rafting, excursions. There are no shops nearby, you have to go.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest, the hotel is really good (especially when compared with the others nearby), but there is still work to be done. The prices are high, but now it’s like this everywhere (((we went with a 50% discount, if it weren’t for this, I would probably find fault more.
We arrived for the May holidays with my husband and a small child. We lived in a cozy room with access to the river and the mountain. Initially, we were worried that it would be cold in the room, but as it turned out, they were not going to freeze us. I read a review about bad cuisine before the trip....we understood that to each his own, we liked the kitchen first of all because we could safely order a variety of cereals for the baby... they cooked very tasty, and the attitude was very friendly.
I want to say that we are planning to visit this complex again with our family. I wish the hotel prosperity, and remain as welcoming!!! !
