We rested in Helios in October 2010. All buildings are located at a distance from each other (2 residential buildings, a canteen building and 2 medical buildings). This causes extreme inconvenience, especially when you do not have time from one procedure to another, or you move with wet hair in a cold wind (unfortunately, this autumn turned out to be abnormally cold for this time of the year in the Crimea). The area around residential buildings and administrative buildings looks abandoned and uncleaned. There is a lack of staff responsible for cleaning - in total we managed to see only two janitors, and not very trying to do their job.
The appearance of the buildings themselves rather resembles pre-revolutionary museums that require emergency repairs (do not believe the colorful advertising photos on the sites).
Inside the buildings, the situation is not much better - the walls, plumbing, electrical wiring need a major overhaul, which, if carried out here, is frankly careless! A neighbor with asthma found mold on the wall under her bed! There is a terrible smell from the garbage chute in the corridors, and the stench from the Soviet bathrooms is in the rooms. So that the room would not be sadly provided with a wired radio broadcasting “First Nat. radio". I had to forget about the TV and the refrigerator immediately.

Hot water is strictly on schedule, but even in these allotted 2 hours it was rarely possible to visit the shower - either there was no pressure, or it was barely warm.
The sanatorium is clearly a "summer" type. The curtains constantly stirred from the wind blowing through the cracks. The temperature in the room was 11-15°C. Fans of outdoor activities and entertainment were also disappointed - no tennis courts or sports grounds are provided, as well as a cinema hall promised in advertising.
About nutrition. The food is very poor. The basis of the diet is noodles and porridge. For 2 weeks from fruit they gave 1 apple, pear and a small bunch of grapes. The fresh vegetables chosen on the menu turned out to be just a slice of tomato or a slice of cucumber. Sometimes for dinner they gave kefir with a bun. The kettle had to be looked for. he is here alone for 2-3 tables. Surprised and the presence of only 2 table knives (very blunt) for 4 persons. From the well-fed faces and the boorish treatment of the staff, it becomes clear that mass theft in the kitchen has become commonplace here.
The only thing that at least somehow pleased was the medical base. But if you really want to improve your health, then you will have to pay extra for everything.
Our neighbors also shared their impressions. Mostly people are disappointed, and rested here for the first and last time. We learned from the local Yevpatorians that according to the rating, Helios is in last place in the city.
To everyone who dares to rest here, I wish you to stock up on nerves and sincerely wish you good luck.
I am adding a personal photo report to my review.
