We stayed in July 2017. They chose a place of rest in Ukraine closer to Odessa, as they drove with their own car, and it was a bit far from the Sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bAzov or the Kherson region.

The requirements were as follows:
- room on the beach (no 10 or 5 minutes from the sea)
- room with all amenities including internet and air conditioning
- rest for a family with children, that is, fewer bars, discos.
Based on the reviews found on the Internet, Gribovka was recommended for a family vacation. Scrolling through the reviews about the bases in Gribovka, we stopped at 3 bases Hydrostroitel, Marinville and Mercury. They are all nearby in the most beautiful and quiet place of Gribovka (where a high cliff separates the seashore from the rest of the territory.
Mercury fell away, since it is farthest from the sea (at the top of the cliff) and it was necessary to go down a steep staircase to the sea.

It took a long time to choose between Gidrostroitel and Marinville, but the presence of a covered gazebo in front of the room was the decisive factor.
We booked in advance (in May), which we did not regret later, because we found out that places for the whole summer quickly ran out. 4-month room by the way 1700 UAH / day. The 15th day we received as a gift for free.
I can say that the vacation was a success and in Ukraine you can relax in comfort.
What we liked:
- very clean in the room, you can see that everything is fresh, new, it smells of new furniture, new dishes, the refrigerator is clean, odorless,
- single-story buildings with a high roof that takes away the heat, air conditioning is practically not needed,
- the territory of the base is constantly cleaned, cleaned, a lot of greenery,
- the staff is just great, no one bothers, you can always ask to clean the room or change the linen. If you don't ask, they will offer
- a gazebo in front of the room - just a salvation from the heat at lunchtime and a good place for an evening pastime,
- since the sea is 50 meters from the room, you could always hear the noise and smell of the sea,
- no discos and bars on the territory of the base and in the vicinity, very quiet in this regard, complete solitude with nature (for some, this may be a minus).
- the children especially liked that they were able to see live crabs, shrimps, as well as dolphins in the sea),
- secure guarded parking on the territory of the base.
What I didn’t like (all the minuses are not related to the Hydrobuilder base itself):
- 8 days out of 15 the sea was cold (about 16-17 degrees), swimming is not possible, especially for children. The remaining 7 are around 20 degrees, and this is in mid-July.
- the infrastructure is of course lame, one store within a radius of 500 meters (the second, by the way, burned down just during our vacation). 30 minutes walk along the beach to the market.

- and all the same children. Since Gribovka is positioned as a place for families with children, EVERYONE comes there with children. There are a lot of children, but it’s not the abundance of them that hinders, but the fact that there are parents who do not follow their child at all, which can sit on your head.
In general, we liked the rest, even exceeded our expectations, we did not expect that we could relax in comfort in Ukraine. Thanks to Natalia and Sergey for the work done!
