Мои впечатления My impressions

We rest in Sheksna not the first year, but this year was the last.
I used to think that it was not necessary to find fault, that it was necessary to enjoy the rest. In past years, almost everything suited us, this year Sheksna broke all savings records. I note that we always paid for the rest in cash, yes, we are exactly those suckers that the animators have repeatedly repeated.
Now about the rest itself, I will conduct a comparative analysis of what has changed.
We arrived in two cars. However, the security in the cars did not let us through, after being rude, they deigned to check us on the list and sent us to the reception to register, after which we had to return to them with a piece of paper, and only then our cars were let through. I note that in past years we have perfectly reached the reception.
At the reception, without smiles and special kindness, we were issued.

NUMBERS. Nothing has changed in them, in general, everything that happened is safely broken)) The TV remote worked with difficulty, as it was rewound with adhesive tape, they gave a cot without one wheel. Little things, continue to enjoy the rest....
DINING ROOM. There are a lot of people, but it has always been like this, so we are used to it. The air conditioner did not work for the first 2 days, we were told that there was some kind of failure in the system. The following days he worked, but it did not become cooler. Surprised by "innovations". Wine, it turns out, is now served only at lunchtime and WARM, as the coolers have been moved to the VIP room. In past years, there was a cooler with white and red wine, and it was given for lunch and dinner. Beer has disappeared altogether this year, however, as have Fanta and Coca-Cola and ice cream. True, they gave ice cream once, but not in a cone, as before, but in a plastic cup, and terribly not tasty. Now about food. Salads are few and disgusting. Once the salad was sour, but she did not spoil her rest and did not go to swear. I wouldn't be surprised if someone got poisoned. The choice of hot dishes leaves much to be desired. Where did all the meat dishes go? No variety, the dishes were repeated every day. The cake, however, was delicious. Yes, I was also struck that coffee was only for breakfast. Well, I can’t do without coffee with milk, what can I do.
BEACH. The only thing that has not changed is the sea. Having gone down to the beach, out of habit, we went to the gym for towels, it turned out they were no longer given on the beach, and we had to take them with us from the room. Okay, it's not difficult for us, but really it was impossible to warn! There was also no water trampoline this year. Then 2 pontoons appeared, but for some reason without stairs. The next day, one staircase appeared. Lots of broken sun loungers and hard to find with an awning.
The cafe on the beach never opened at 10-00, for those who do not go for breakfast, this was inconvenient. From 10 o'clock a huge queue lined up and waited for the food to be delivered to the cafe. I won’t say that there was no cotton candy, etc. , we don’t need it, but I remember how the children ate it with pleasure last year. And for some reason, the declared animation on the beach has never been, except for one day - youth day.

About the system "ALL INCLUSIVE". Very interesting work schedule for all bars. They work when we are in the dining room. No matter how much we tried to get in, there is always a break, then the all-inclusive system does not work. For some reason, ice cream and beer were also absent from the bars. They could be taken for a fee or free of charge only at the beach bar. I liked the resourcefulness of the bartenders. Juices are on the menu. So this assortment is 1-2 juices, the rest are for money. In general, all the days we bought beer, juice, ice cream, coffee for money. I still do not understand what is included??
It is a pity that the projection screen was removed from the street. How nice it was last year to sit outside drinking beer and coffee, which were really included, and watching the European Football Championship and other programs. This year we were deprived of this pleasure.
We also had to pay for table tennis, although it is included in the all-inclusive system.
ABOUT ANIMATION. Of course, the animation group cannot be compared with last year, despite the fact that two guys remained from the previous composition, however, they pulled out all the work. I really want to tell the girls who entertained the kids at lunchtime, what kind of games do you have! I can't even repeat this nonsense. Some counting rhymes for the mentally retarded. I can say that this year our children never went to play with the animation group.
I would like to especially celebrate Youth Day. Everything started so well. All day there were some contests for which they gave tokens. It was announced that it was necessary to collect as many tokens as possible and at the end of the day there would be a surprise, a drawing of gifts. There really was a surprise. We, like idiots, participated in competitions, scored a large number of tokens. In the evening there was an auction. And what could we buy with our tokens there? A bottle of air, a bottle of water, a stone from the beach, 1 cocktail at the bar, a paper airplane, etc. , the most valuable prize was a condom! As a result, the children threw the tokens in the trash and left upset.
For comparison. . . last year there were very good prizes: T-shirts with the sheksna logo, packs of beer, sweet water and many, many really nice prizes.
So we saw the crisis in all manifestations. However, prices did not decrease due to such savings, but rather increased. By the way, the head of Sochi, A. N. Pakhomov, assured that prices this year will remain at the level of last year.

All in all, I can't say enough good things about our stay. Not worth the money we paid! If we got our money back, we would have left without hesitation.
We will not go to Sheksna again, unless, of course, a miracle happens, which I doubt very much... .
