"Отдых" в санатории "Rest" in the sanatorium

I would like to tell you about the Gorky sanatorium in Odessa. We rested in the first decade of September 2011. Of course, it is better to tune in to a positive rest, it will be easier. From the station we arrived at the sanatorium by tram 18, you need to get off at the 15th station of the fountain, although it was written in the ticket that you need to get off at the 16th station of the fountain. But if you get off at station 16, you will have to walk a little with your suitcases, so to speak. At the "reception" we were met by a girl and sent to the Albatross building, this is the 19th building. Entering the room, we were a little dumbfounded by the situation, there hadn’t been repairs here for a long time, creaky falling beds, a bathroom with rusty pipes, a hole in the floor for draining water from the shower, moldy tiles in the bathroom, it’s all there. Going out onto the balcony, we saw the sea and the mood improved. Although the sea was obscured by villas that someone allowed to build in the immediate vicinity of the sanatorium. In the gap between them we saw the sea. It should be noted that the beach is nearby, you just need to go down the steep stairs. Going down is easy, going up is oh so. Grannies get up for a long time. They sit down, sit down and get up again. The beach is sandy and quite cozy, except for cigarette butts and other beach debris, but this is everywhere. You can take a sun lounger, but they take units. Since this is a medical sanatorium, a few words about treatment. Here are the prices for some procedures:
sharko shower - one procedure 30 hryvnia;
hydromassage – one procedure 60 UAH;

If the procedure is not your profile of the disease, you will have to pay to the cash desk of the sanatorium.
There are queues to the doctors' offices, everyone has their own schedule, so at first you can go to the offices instead of the sea. The main thing here is to decide what you want, we chose a vacation by the sea. From all diseases, the sun, air and water are more useful! Well, grannies and grandfathers in the morning after breakfast are already at the doctors' offices. Breakfast at 8.30. Lunch 13.30. Dinner 18.30. The food is average, you will not die of hunger, but not so very tasty. Meat was rarely given, mostly minced meat, from which cutlets and meatballs were made. For breakfast and dinner they gave a cucumber or a tomato, a piece of cheese or cheese, a puck of butter, a bun. For lunch they gave bananas and peaches from fruits. Soups, it should be noted, were quite good. Salty a couple of times. Dining room service is poor. The waitress constantly turns her head, talks to everyone, a dozen hands reach for her cart, trying to grab a piece of sweeter, she screams, but this does not always help. There were some shots that took a portion, sniffed it, and then put it in its place and took a new one, sniffed it again and so on several times. Probably the mentality. Near the dining room they offer excursions around Odessa, but you can take minibus 223 (rarely runs), tram 18, come to the center and see everything for yourself. There is already someone like it. Pay 50 hryvnia for a tour or 1.25 for a tram. In the building where we lived, on the first floor there was a duty officer, whose duties included many functions, one of which was not to let strangers into the building. But since her TV was constantly on, one fine day, several rooms in the building were robbed (probably there was an interesting program and the attendant did not notice strangers). So keep an eye out for your valuables. The administration is not responsible for valuables left in the room. In general, Odessa is good, a beautiful city, we liked to see something. And the beach of the resort is not in the city center, so there are fewer people and the water is cleaner. In general, you can relax, Odessa is Odessa.
