#General information
The Soviet-style base is located on the seashore, 5-7 minutes from the Limanskaya platform. It consists of: - wooden houses without amenities (scattered around the base), - 2-storey building with amenities on the floor (No. 41) (in the middle of the base) - 3-storey stone building with amenities in the room (located on the outskirts of the base near with parking, utility yard, toilets and showers in a wooden house) - 2-storey twin buildings with private facilities (No. 44.45) The most adequate rooms are in building No. 45, which adjoins directly to the beach. Building No. 44 adjoins the 45th and begins near the entrance to the base (from the numbers of the building No. 44 to the beach 50-100 meters, from the numbers of the building No. 45 - 0-50 meters) Entrance to the numbers of buildings 44.45: first floor - at each entrance is straight from the facade, the second floor - from a long balcony that stretches along the entire building. The most adequate rooms in building No. 45 (see the description of the room below) On the territory there is a non-working cinema, a dining room + "bar", a cafe-dance floor (sometimes "live" music in the evenings), a small playground, a small hall for public events , billiards (for a fee), table tennis (for a fee), parking (in 2010 it was 10 UAH / day). A feature of the base, as in other bases in Zatoka, is the railway line in close proximity to the base - sometimes it makes noise, but it’s not particularly annoying
As of 2010, the price PER PERSON was 150 UAH until July 15.175 UAH from July 15 (in a double room). As I wrote above, from the farthest room of this building to the beach, 50 meters. In a 2-bed room: 2 beds (composed), 2 bedside tables, 2 chairs, table, wardrobe, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, fan; shower, toilet, washbasin. The furniture is not very expensive, but more or less new. Of the minuses: - in the room there is only upper lighting (fluorescent lamps), there are not enough lamps - nightlights, - disgusting soundproofing in the toilet (you can clearly hear how they are talking behind the wall), despite the fact that the soundproofing of the room seems to be normal. The ventilation is also so-so. - at least a couple of plastic chairs on the balcony are missing - a tight lock on the front door - the bed is not a double bed, but two beds - sometimes the water pressure in the taps drops (when there is a lot of analysis) - if the electricity suddenly disappears, the water pump that supplies water in the room - in the bathroom there are not enough hooks - shelves; for 300-350 UAH per room - you can have a hairdryer in the bathroom All the minuses are not significant enough and do not really affect the rest : ) From the pros: - good location - acceptable "stuffing" of the room, everything is not expensive, but new - constantly hot water in the room - air conditioning in the heat Pts. well saved The peculiarity of the Soviet service: in order to take a coupon for food, they spent an hour, they didn’t clean the room and didn’t take out the garbage, etc. little things that should not be when you rent a room for 300 UAH without meals. .

There are 3 options to eat at Micron: 1. Canteen - 55 UAH / day - frankly, so-so - not everyone is acceptable. You can even feed a little better... 2. "Improved" dining room - like "bar" - actually 100 UAH / day, although the site indicated 70. It turned out that 70 is two meals a day. In general, nothing, but not very good. Large portions and VERY few vegetables. I understand cucumbers and tomatoes in the summer in Odessa och. expensive, what would make a salad of a normal size out of them. But at dinner for 45 UAH - half a cucumber and half a tomato - this is too much. 3. Open cafe - very good. even a normal complex lunch - 30/35 UAH (fish/meat) (first, second, salad, compote). We finally ate there : ). No kitchen to cook for yourself - unfortunately not. But the presence of a refrigerator and el. sockets in the room - it helps to "have a bite" : ) In addition, there are cafes-bars on the beach, there are cafes and bars in the conditional local "center" (near the railway platform), where you can dine from 30 to 40 UAH.
The beach strip is 50-60 meters deep. Sand. The length of the beach from Karolino-Bugas to Zatoka is 5-6 km. There are no restrictions on movement along the beach strip to the beaches of other recreation centers. Sea: first (20 meters) to the waist - then the depth, the bottom - sand. The sandy bottom affects the "turbidity" of the water after lunch, and the shallow depth near the coast affects a bunch of children in the sea : ) (by the way, 80% of vacationers with children) Also not very good. fortunately nearby are the boats of the "bananas", from which, with a "successful" wind, gasoline blows. On the beach, a standard set of water entertainment - bananas, buns, parachutes, etc. Inflatable slides - every 200 - 300 meters
#Entertainment at the base
Periodically arrange something for children, circus clowns for 20 UAH; billiards, table tennis, in the evening sometimes live singing in an open cafe.
#platform "LIMANSKAYA"
According to its structure, Zatoka is a village stretched for 5-6 km along the sea, studded with recreation centers (including small private ones) and private houses (mainly on the banks of the Dniester Estuary). The area around the platform "Limanskaya" of the railway road is a local "center" for the concentration of the market, mini-attractions, shops, cafes, excursions, etc. entertainment. Unfortunately, the chaotic development and the wretchedness of the local infrastructure create not very good. good impression. There you can also take minibuses that go both towards Belgorod-Dnestrovsky and to Odessa. Electric trains go one way and the other 4 times a day
#possible excursions:
- to the water park and dolphinarium in Koktebel
- to Odessa (+7km, + catacombs)
- to Shabo (wine tasting) - you can go by yourself
- to Belgorod-Dnestrovsky - you can go by yourself
- in Vilkovo, in the Danube Delta - I recommend
- boat trips, etc.
