I have rested here repeatedly, since 2002. In 2010 I visited Turkey, and then again in Gilea, and I became sad from the wretchedness of the domestic resort service. But for the money. . . it's probably the best you can find in the area. Solid Soviet buildings, they would have to hang air conditioners, otherwise after 40 in the shade on the street, 32 in the room somehow do not inspire.
The food is typical boarding house, I did not experience hunger.
The sea in August has already warmed up and blooms, so the water is always muddy in the afternoon. The heat was such that people sat in the water until sunset - they didn’t swim, but stood and talked. A couple of times in the morning the dolphins came close - 10 meters from the shore. Delight - the whole beach.
The territory is large, green, grass and plants are watered. Hot water around the clock. The bathroom is very cramped. But a huge loggia, you can sleep on the air (if stocked with an air mattress).

In addition to the buildings, there are wooden houses - "wigwams", but they are further from the sea, and cheaper. There are conveniences on the territory - blocks of showers and toilets.
In addition, there is a children's health camp on the territory - a part of the "wigwams" and a piece of the beach are allotted for it.
The beach is impressive, spacious, long, there is always a lot of free space. Along the beach there is a stone "quay", on which separate "rooms" with a lattice canopy are equipped. They just don't get ordered. There are no canopies on the sand, only a couple of fungi. People carry their umbrellas en masse. In 2010, reed pavilions "huts" appeared on the beach - we took one for the entire period, and did not regret it. You can spend the whole day in it - comfortably, the sand does not heat up, the wind does not blow. You put a deck chair or a mattress - and a healthy afternoon sleep is guaranteed.
The beach is regularly cleaned of debris, but there are algae in the surf zone. Having overcome 10 meters, you find yourself in a clean, deep place, followed by a small scythe - up to the chest (to the waist). Here we are waiting for small fish, at the bottom - hermit crabs, and in the water column - jellyfish (cornerot) !! ! They are more of a hassle than the harmless Aurelia, so contact is best avoided.
The club is a large indoor auditorium, twice a day - cinema, sometimes concerts of visiting artists or children's amateur performances.
Earlier in the evening there were discos behind sports grounds, now for these you need to move to neighboring bases, or even to the "center".
The sport is in its infancy, the playgrounds are large, but the coating leaves much to be desired - the tartan peels off, you can’t play tennis on this, and it’s scary to play football. There is no table tennis or billiards. But there is on the neighboring "Chernomor", you need to walk 300 meters.
