Accommodation. The sanatorium is located in the seaside town of Svetlogorsk, very close to the coast of the Baltic Sea. Two buildings, the old five-story building, and the new eight-story building. I got a double two-room suite in the old building on the fifth floor. No frills, but quite decent by sanatorium standards: TV, refrigerator, sideboard with a set of dishes, kettle, iron, ironing board. Two balconies.
Treatment. The procedures are standard for a sanatorium: massage, radon and pearl baths, mud therapy, spinal traction, apparatus therapy (all sorts of UHF and magnets), mineral water. The water is good, its own pump room with a well. There was a sea water pool, now closed. Because of this pool, the sanatorium was wildly popular, now it has become easier to get there, but not so interesting either. Doctors approach appointments formally, literally pinching off medical procedures bit by bit.
Nutrition. Custom menu, as in most resorts. They cook well, heartburn and diarrhea have never happened. Portions for men are small, after dinner had to be refreshed in the room. A separate issue is tea. I never drank such a shmurdyak even in the guardhouse, serving time there in my wild youth. Tea is brought there on a cart in a huge bucket (! ) and poured into a samovar with a leaking tap, under which there is a crumpled pan. Terrible memories, brr. . . We drank tea in the room or in the coffee shop opposite the sanatorium. Yes, more. The dining room always stinks upon entering. It stinks, but does not smell, to the gag reflex. This smell is not from cooking, but most likely from the air conditioner at the entrance, which has long been in need of cleaning and disinfection.
Staff. For the most part, he is unfriendly and uncommunicative, many have been working in the sanatorium for decades, that is, since Soviet times. Extremely unfriendly staff in the tour sales department, in the reception department, a dietitian in the dining room. A pleasant exception and a bright ray is the hostess of our building, maids, waitresses.
Infrastructure. There are many souvenir shops, cafes with delicious coffee in the town. Modern variety theater Yantar Hall, organ hall "Makarov" with excellent acoustics. Good bus service to the regional center, inexpensive and convenient electric trains, the station is only three hundred meters away. It is 500 meters to the sea, it can be hard to climb back, the ascent is steep. There are comfortable benches and gazebos on the seashore, there is a good free (! ) Wi-Fi along the entire coast. By the way, there is no Wi-Fi in the resort, even for a fee. I was amazed when I found out that it was not by chance, but on purpose, by order of the minister, it was forbidden to use Wi-Fi so that no one would find out the military secrets of the military sanatorium))).
Leisure. There is a sanatorium club, a sanatorium museum, there are good concerts, dances, many excursions are organized around the region, to the Curonian Spit, to the amber plant. The prices are reasonable, the time is chosen so as not to miss the procedures and meals.
Conclusion. A sanatorium from the Soviet past, not shabby and not terrible, but not developing at all, but decrepit before our eyes. There is nothing to do there for the full price, young people will be sad in general, but for a reduced price it is quite possible to relax and heal.
FURNITURE old broken cheap, plumbing Khrushchev and poorly attached
food: a short menu, small portions (almost everyone "supplements" in restaurants or shops).
chicken procedures are scattered throughout the buildings - it is not convenient in winter.
the quality of the procedures is top notch.
I'm leaving with the mood - not a foot here again.
AN ESTABLISHMENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT EATED ANYTHING SWEETER THAN A CARROT.
FROM THE ROOM FUND - THESE ARE MORE AND LESS DECENT TWO-ROOM ROOMS, ALTHOUGH HERE AT THE COST OF 55 THOUSAND RUBLES FOR TWO WEEKS FOR TWO, THERE IS NO SOAP OR SHOWER GEL IN THE BATHROOM. THE FURNITURE IS ALL IN A VERY SHADED CONDITION, CLEANING ONCE EVERY TWO DAYS INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF THE GARBAGE AND THE SYMBOLIC CLEANING OF THE TOILET. ABOUT CHANGE OF TOWELS. . . ONLY UPON URGENT REQUEST. ONE-ROOM ROOMS FOR 47 THOUSAND IN A KILLED POOR CONDITION, DIRT IN THE BATHROOM IS THE NORM. I HAD TO CLEAN THE TOILET OWN AND HAIR THE PREVIOUS HOLIDAYERS. CONCLUSION - IF THERE ARE NO OTHER REST PLACES, THEN THE BAR IS A TWO-ROOM SUITE, BUT REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE STILL SOVIET TIMES, AND THE PRICES FOR TOURS ARE ALREADY MODERN. MOST HOLIDAYS ON PREFERENT vouchers, FOR 8 THOUSAND YOU CAN AND BE SUFFERED, BUT FOR THE COMMERCIAL VALUE IS VERY SORRY.
ABOUT THE DINING ROOM... DIRT, REPLACEMENT OF TEXTILE NAPKINS ON THE TABLES TWO TIMES A WEEK, BETWEEN THESE EVEN THE CRUMPS ARE NOT CLEANED. WE WERE SAT AT A DIRTY TABLE WITH DIRTY NAPKINS, WHEN THEY ASKED WHY THE DIRT, THEN THEY ANSWERED US WITH A QUESTION TO THE QUESTION, AND WHO DIRTYED THEM, SINCE WE DID NOT KNOW THE PREVIOUS HOLIDAYS, THEN WE COULD NOT ANSWER, WHAT CONFUSED THE WORKER'S STATION. FOOD IS REQUIRED, BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE SOVIET CANTERS, IT IS THEM. HEARTBURN AFTER BREAD CUTLETS AND I REMEMBER IN THESE TABLE FISH PIECES WERE WHOLE, AND HERE THE FISH IS ALSO HALFED ALONG THE RIDGE. THEY ASKED THE WAITRESS, WHERE IS THE SECOND PART OF THE FISH, WHICH IS WITHOUT A BONE, THAT IS THE CUT FILLET... THE ANSWER PLEASED - IN THE BAGS OF THE COOKERS, THEY ASKED WHY THEY TALK ABOUT THIS SO OPENLY DID NOT SURPRISE THE WAITRESS, HER ANSWER THAT IT WAS ALWAYS. ABOUT COMMERCE. . . COMMERCIAL HOLIDAYS SIT SEPARATELY, BUT WE WERE NOT LUCKY. . . WE WERE SENT TO BENEFITS, AND HERE THE CONVERSATION IS SHORT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU ORDERED, EAT WHAT YOU BRING. THE QUESTION WHY THEN TO COLLECT THESE ORDERS. . . THEY ASKED TO TRANSFER TO HOLIDAYS ON COMMERCIAL STAYS, AND THEY ANSWERED THAT THERE ARE NO PLACES THERE. THERE ARE TICKETS, BUT THERE ARE NO PLACES. . . ALL THIS WAS SAID IN A ROUGH FORM AND SUGGESTED TO GO TO THE HEAD OF THE HEALTH RESORT. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CHIEF, HE IS AT MEETINGS OR CANNOT ACCEPT. ON NOVEMBER 17 WE FACED THIS SITUATION. ORDERED FISH WITH POTATOES FOR BREAKFAST. THEY WERE APOLOGIZED (WHICH IS VERY PLEASANT) AND ASKED IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRING FISH WITH RICE, AS THE POTATOES HAVE ALREADY ENDED. AFTER GETTING CONSENT, THEY BROUGHT FISH WITH BUCKWHEAT, THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RICE ALREADY. WE LOOKED IN THE MENU, AND THERE IS NO RICE OR BUCKWHEAT THERE, THE QUESTION IS WHY THERE IS NO POTATOES AND WHERE THEY GOT RICE AND BUCKWHEAT. .
ABOUT THE TREATMENT. . . MANY OF THE PROCEDURES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL FOR HOLIDAYERS, THE BEST TREATMENT IS WALKING AND AIR.
I DO A CONCLUSION - PEOPLE ON COMMERCIAL STAYS IN THE HEALTH ARE NOT NEEDED. IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY, CHOOSE OTHER OPTIONS. PHOTO OF FISH AND DINING WILL POST NEXT TIME.
