Rested in the "Beregovoe" family: two parents and a daughter of 5 years in late August-early September 2010. In general, of course, the scoop. But you can rest. We were not very lucky with the weather on our arrival, there were very strong winds, it was impossible even at sea (just to sit on the beach), the wind was also cold, and we all got sick. First the daughter, and then we. When we arrived at the boarding house there, many children were sick, because in August there was a very strong heat, the sea was very warm and an infection set in, our daughter immediately caught the infection. That is, out of the 18 days allotted for us to rest, we swam only 3 days, my daughter even had to be given antibiotics, since there was some kind of nasty infection and she was very ill. The doctor at the boarding house told us that it is impossible to come to the sea with a child in August, since the sea has already collected all the infection, in June, early July the sea is cleaner. We took into account that this year we will go at the end of June. By the way, a large boarding house + that there is a doctor.
A nurse is on duty around the clock in the main building. I ran at night for a thermometer, the nurse immediately opened it and gave out a thermometer. I took a bunch of medicines with me, but I forgot the thermometer. By the way, there is a pharmacy in the village of Molochny. Walk from the boarding house about 15 minutes. The choice of medicines is good. But if the child is sick and there is no one to leave him with, it will be a problem, keep this in mind. The medical base in the boarding house is weak. So if someone is counting on the serious treatment of their child, then you are not here. The main treatment in "Beregovoe" is the sea. The sea there is excellent, the beach is very good. I consider this the main condition. We went to Zaozernoe. And walked around the territory of the boarding house "Radiant". The territory is gorgeous, it cannot be compared with the "Beregovoi", and the sea is disgusting: dirty, a huge number of people, even the color of the water is different. Also undoubted + - this is a large territory of the boarding house, children have a place to roam.
The playground is in the shade, the territory, of course, is a passage yard and is not guarded by anyone, but in general it is safe for children there. My daughter enjoyed walking. Lots of figurines. All this, of course, is not in very good condition, the vacationers themselves are to blame for this. We saw big guys climbing up on figurines to take photos, but everything will fall apart. We did not observe much leisure during our check-in. Only excursions and discos in the evenings with terribly deafening music. My daughter could not even dance, the music hit her ears a lot. No concerts, no movies, etc. Maybe it's the end of the season, I don't know. In "Beregovoe" in general, at the end of August, life stops. On September 1, the only cafe on the territory where you could sit in the evening closed. The currency exchange office was closed both on the territory of the boarding house and in the village of Molochny itself. Although at the beginning of September there was a big arrival of tourists from Russia.

We were then told that there was a money exchange in a savings bank in the village, but this savings bank is very difficult to find. In general, the service is the same! About food: fed normally, 50/50 - very tasty / tolerable. In the morning, porridge, this is important, because porridge is not always given in the morning. Lunches are delicious, second courses are good. Very tasty pastries. True, by the end of the holiday, the food became very boring. There were already few people, it seemed to us that the food had become worse. We also didn’t like it very much that by the end of the check-in we were packed in the dining room: we sat on the veranda, it’s very cool there, but then the veranda was closed, everyone was shoved into the common room, the waitresses were greatly reduced (savings, however), i. e. by 60 -70 people was one waitress, which was poor to pieces. I had to take food myself at the distribution, so as not to wait 30 minutes and pour tea, etc. It’s not difficult for me, not in a bar, so to speak, but this has little to do with the service.
We lived in an improved cottage after renovation: a bedroom, a veranda (very small), although the boarding house website says that it is a large residential veranda. When the sofa was laid out, there was no more room on the veranda. The room is normal. It is very convenient that with a separate entrance. There was always hot water, there was a water heater. They cleaned badly, that is, cleaning on demand, it must be said that it was very urgent. It’s good that there was a broom, a rag, etc. in the bathroom. I cleaned the room myself, as there was a lot of sand all the time. Another minus of the cottage, which is very good audibility: a cottage for several families. The conversation of people behind the wall was very well heard, and people did not make noise, but simply communicated. We were lucky that we practically lived alone in the cottage, because a few days after our arrival, the rest of the cottage residents left. And if the neighbors were noisy, after all, everyone has their own ideas about rest, then there would be problems.
And in conclusion, I would like to say that there is a very big one + there is one more: that you can pay not a lot of money for a child under 5 years old (provided that if two adults and a child are traveling for an extra bed). You will find it very few places, I studied a lot of information on different vacation spots, it’s good if they give 15-25% discounts. So: if you are lucky with the weather and you are healthy, then the rest will be quite acceptable. The main thing is that you know where and why you are going and do not expect "golden mountains".
