In general, everything in the sanatorium is very thoughtfully done, it is clear that he has one owner and a very competent business executive.
The territory is well-groomed, all in flowers. Two swimming pools - for adults and for small children.
Beach towels (branded, like the rest) are changed at will every day, although you need to pay a deposit of 500 rubles for them. for a towel, upon departure the money is returned.
The beach is very decent, closed, there is always a free sunbed, mattresses on the sunbeds. You can sit both by the sea and in the shade. On the beach at 11-00 every day children's animation, very entertaining. During the day on the beach, pancakes, pancakes and something else are free, but you need to stand in line.
The only thing we didn't like was the catering. There are always no free tables, the waitresses do not have time to clean up the dirty dishes. Buffet: cabbage, beets, carrots, canned peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, very rarely cottage cheese, sometimes simple salads, rice, pearl barley, undercooked potatoes, sausages, mini cutlets, stewed chicken, sometimes fish, mini buns and pies of our own production , bread, cherries, peaches (though unripe), oranges. True, for breakfast there is always fresh drinking yogurt, fermented baked milk (not from bottles, but live, locally produced), meat and cheese cuts, scrambled eggs to choose from, as well as muesli. From lunch there is draft beer and lemonade, from dinner there is also local semi-sweet red and white wine. But the menu has never changed, every day is the same.
We really liked the restaurants from the sanatorium located on the embankment - Ukrainian Courtyard and Santa Fe, a good menu comparable to Moscow restaurants in terms of quality and average bill : ). Regular visitors are given 10% discount cards for all services of the sanatorium and catering. There is also a restaurant Karavan-Saray, but we did not go there.
Of all the boarding houses and sanatoriums we visited in Gelendzhik (and we are fans of Genendzhik : ) ), this is the best place to relax.
