I was with children at the Shuravi base in June 2017. I will write a lot, because I really want people to have a real idea. If you decide to spend another week in Karolino Bugaz on the basis of Shuravi, then my review will be very useful to you.
Pros.
We were greeted by a polite receptionist. Throughout the entire stay, she was always in contact and tried to help in any way she could.
Adequate youth worked in the canteen this year. I say this year, because most likely they are not local and work for hire seasonally and it’s not a fact that in the summer of 2018 they will also work.
There are old buildings and new ones at the base. We were in the new building. The set of furniture is very small. A double bed with bedside tables, a wardrobe with a mirror, a table, a stool, a small refrigerator, an electric kettle, a tray and two glasses. There were a couple of pieces of disposable soap in the bathroom.

The room pleased with a new mattress, toilet bowl, refrigerator, electric kettle, air conditioning, pillows and a blanket. Still, you must admit, it’s nice when no one slept on the mattress before you and didn’t use the toilet.
Bed linen and towels were clean. The room is cleaned if requested.
In the center of the base there is a large clean pool and sun loungers around it. Near the pool there is an expensive bar.
There is a parking lot on the territory of the base. The dining room has delicious food, meat cutlets, large portions, delicious pastries.
There are many flowers and trees at the base, there is a playground, a disco hall and a cinema hall in it.
There is a dispensary with a physical cabinet on the base. There is a building in which a couple of saunas, baths and mini pools. Massage. It's all run by one woman. I don't even know how to phrase it. )
The road to the sea there and back - 1.5 km. Beach sand and some shells. There were few people and little garbage. The base is located 50 meters from the train station "Studencheskaya" and if you are traveling by train or train, then dragging your suitcases is not far away. The nearest store is right next to the station. He's not cheap. Civilian shops, a bazaar and a pharmacy are 3 km away. If you don't have a car, you can get there by bus. They go there regularly.
Minuses.

The owners of the base are not as polite and pleasant people as the administrator. I spoke on the phone with one of the owners and focused on the fact that I want a room in the new building! I transferred an advance payment per day for a room in a new building! Upon arrival, they settled me in an old building in a dirty room with a smelly toilet, a terrible mattress, terrible collapsed furniture! It was a horror for only 40 UAH cheaper!! ! I was just lucky that there was a room in the new building. And if not, then there would definitely be a conflict that could end in the search for another place of rest. So when you negotiate, be sure to discuss ALL the nuances! A specific number, right down to the numbers, the day of arrival and departure. And be sure to find a spare resting place if suddenly something goes wrong on Shuravi! In Karolino Bugaz there are many boarding houses, recreation centers and just houses and rooms for rent!
There are old buildings at the base. Of course, they are sad... Most of the mold, the furniture is terrible, the mattresses are terrible, the blankets are musty, the bathroom is smelly, the plumbing and electrics are faulty.
I do not advise a two-story building and a one-story building with amenities near it along the athletic arena.
For some reason, instead of a duvet cover, a sheet. Sooo unpleasant when at night a blanket lies on your face that covered half of Ukraine and Belarus! So you need to have your own duvet cover! I got lucky with the blanket. It even smelled like packaging. But we were the first in this season who used it. And before the end of the summer, a lot of people will use it.
In the new building, the air conditioning for heating does not work. It is very uncomfortable. Because if it rains, the room becomes damp. Clothes and bed are damp. I asked the administration and one of the owners a question. I was literally shrugged off. They said that the air conditioner was new and had just been installed before our arrival. As if I felt better because he was new!! ! He doesn't get hot!!!
Nowhere on the base there is neither a thermometer nor a table on which the air temperature, the water temperature in the sea, the water temperature in the pool are written. Very uncomfortable! Several times it was such that they came to the sea, and swimming was simply not real! Legs cramped from the cold! If we had known in advance, we would have gone on an excursion to the Belgorod-Dniester fortress or Odessa.
There is no security around the pool! There is no person who looks after the pool during the day. There is no information about the temperature of air, water and the time when water chlorination is carried out. We did not swim in the pool because I did not know when the water was chlorinated. And the bleach in the water was definitely more than normal, since everyone who swam in the pool later complained of pain in the eyes.

And almost before our eyes, a child nearly drowned. Strangers accidentally saw and pulled out a 7-year-old girl. A group of children of athletes with a coach rested there. You say the coach overlooked. Not! Behind the pool must be assigned a worker who can swim and provide first aid! The Shuravi base does not have such a thing!
In the dining room there is a complex food and a line. A complex three-time meal costs 150 UAH per day per person. The line opens when there are enough tourists at the base. The line is certainly cheaper and more useful. A strange feature - if you take the complex, then everything is covered in plastic dishes, in which the coating has long been broken and the fat has simply eaten into it! Tin of course! Even in children's camps in the USSR, this was not the case! And if you take on the line, then the dishes are ceramic.
Spoons, forks, knives always had to be wiped with napkins. And the worst part is the tables! Hands and napkins stuck to them! Easily run your fingernail across the table and scrape off a strip of fat-dirt!! ! We have repeatedly made a remark to the girls in the dining room, she showed interest, said "of course, of course we will wash" and it all ended with this phrase. To prevent us from throwing up on this table, we washed it ourselves with wet wipes.
Drinking water must be purchased. I do not recommend drinking from the tap.
There is a dangerous forged spinner on the playground. She beat more than one child's back and head in front of my eyes. Do not let children even under supervision!
A double room with private facilities in the new building and in the Italian courtyard cost 400 UAH. In the old building, a double room with private facilities - 360 UAH.
I know for sure that for this money you can relax with the best conditions and comfort.
Conclusion: I will not go to the Shuravi base anymore!
And you decide for yourself!
