Large green area, partially landscaped. Silence, air, sea, sun! Extensive sandy beach with good access to the sea. Deserted wild beach next door. (Everyone can also get into the territory by paying an entrance fee. ) Large paid (100 rubles per day) parking at the second checkpoint. Security is adequate. The sea in June was very clean, the main beach is being cleaned.

(Everyone can also get into the territory by paying an entrance fee. ) Large paid (100 rubles per day) parking at the second checkpoint. Security is adequate.
The sea in June was very clean, the main beach is being cleaned. There are enough sun loungers, there are awnings and umbrellas, lifeguards are actively working. Sometimes there are releases of algae on the surf line, which the staff of the sanatorium collect and bury in the sand.
Food type buffet in one shift for 2 hours, the assortment is small at the level of an average dining room, there is practically no fruit. The palatability of the dishes is flawless, although the taste of low-quality fats is sometimes noticeable. The layout is updated, as a rule, in a timely manner before closing, but there are also delays. The waiters are great, the dishes are cleaned in a timely manner. At the entrance to the resort there are grocery stores and fruit stands.
Rooms in the Burevestnik building are spacious, air-conditioned, with a balcony. Housing close to the sea. Cleaning is satisfactory. Soundproofing is good. Wi-Fi internet access was almost non-existent. We used 3G mobile Internet from MTS.
On the day of check-in, they discovered a leak in the toilet bowl and immediately made a request to the duty officer. The plumbers came only on the third day, and all this time we collected water from the floor with a rag until it flowed into the room. The plumbers could not fix the leak due to the lack of spare parts, and after a small scandal with the duty officer and the administration, we were allowed to move to the next room. Both rooms have old plumbing, terribly creaky old beds. There are no mosquito nets on the windows.
There is no entertainment other than a children's disco, but you can go on excursions both on your own and in a group. Nearest places: Evpatoria, Sevastopol, Bakhchisaray, Tarkhankut, Belyaus, Popovka.
As a result, the rest left a pleasant impression for the budget level.

My mother and I rested from August 20 to September 6.2018. Sanatorium "Mayak" left a good impression. We lived in building 7 called "Petrel". During our holiday there was almost no day when it was impossible to swim. It was hot, sunny. The air in the resort is amazing! Various types of trees, flowers planted somewhere, the sea breeze together create a special aroma.

My mother and I rested from August 20 to September 6.2018. Sanatorium "Mayak" left a good impression. We lived in building 7 called "Petrel".
During our holiday there was almost no day when it was impossible to swim. It was hot, sunny. The air in the resort is amazing! Various types of trees, flowers planted somewhere, the sea breeze together create a special aroma.
The sea temperature was in the range of 26-29 degrees. I won’t say that we were warm in the sea, but I won’t say the opposite either. The sea is like a sea. You come in, at first it’s a little cool, then you don’t want to get out. Algae and mud can repel a little, quite unusually. They are located along the edge of the coast - between the sea and the sand, but when it has already entered - the bottom is transparent, only sometimes algae can float after a night storm. Jellyfish were not met, someone was catching crabs.
The territory of the sanatorium is huge - 52 hectares. Not all buildings are functioning, some are in disrepair, but they are gradually being restored. It was 15-20 minutes at a leisurely pace from our building to the medical one. 7 minutes to the dining room.
The food was varied and tasty. Buffet.
For breakfast, three types of porridge, several types of cheese, sausages, salads. Cottage cheese casserole, scrambled eggs, sausages, sausages. Coffee, green and black tea, milk, sugar.
For lunch, three types of soup, many side dishes and meatballs, meatballs, beef, pork, chicken, vegetables in all forms. And most importantly, fruit! You could drink compotes of dried fruits and fresh fruits.
Lots of goodies for dinner too. Even at lunch and dinner there are delicious little buns - with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, jam . .
There is a huge Isis water cooler in each building. The room has dishes, a refrigerator, a fan / air conditioner.
The doctors in the hospital are friendly.
When you check in, you will be taken to the building by an electric car.
Ask at the reception of your building about everything - iron, fan, hair dryer, hot water for tea. . .
In general, the impressions were good!

The sanatorium was chosen on a social ticket (how the tour operator has come to this is a separate question). There were three of us (mom, dad and son), instead of an extra seat for dad, they pointed to a folding chair (back pain is still felt), although they paid a full ticket for him. Water on schedule, two-room suite, pasted over with brown wallpaper in an inconspicuous flower.

There were three of us (mom, dad and son), instead of an extra seat for dad, they pointed to a folding chair (back pain is still felt), although they paid a full ticket for him. Water on schedule, two-room suite, pasted over with brown wallpaper in an inconspicuous flower. In the large room, for some reason, there is a blind window that does not open, Soviet wallpaper, linen was given out twice all the time, the mattresses are dirty, the furniture is falling apart.
Separately, about food - they promised a buffet, in fact - the horrors of Soviet childhood in the form of stewed liver, barley groats, fish cakes, etc. The son could not eat. The infrastructure is not developed. To eat, there is either a restaurant with prices like in Moscow and service like in a Soviet barracks, or Evpatoria, which takes at least an hour to get to in a minibus studded with brutalized old women. We spent more than 100.000 rubles on this "vacation" on a "free ticket". When we left, we saw a woman who vomited right on the threshold of the dining room. Enteritis in a child was cured only at home - in the sanatorium everything is literally teeming with bacteria, the sea is incredibly dirty, no one cleans the algae, or rather, when they are thrown ashore, the pensioners who work there push them back into the sea. A disgusting mass of kelp rots and stinks in the water, mixed with huge jellyfish and dead fish.
At the entrance is a poster that says that you can not offend marine animals (jellyfish). Apparently, the staff is very proud not only of their casemates and a trough with pearl barley and liver, but also of these huge purple pieces of jelly that cause chemical burns.
Treatment? It just wasn't there. We issued a spa card for ourselves, having spent a lot of time on this, but the local "doctors" offered to "pay for the examination. " They spat and left.
Animation for a child: when they saw that the child was "problematic", cheerful boys and girls simply refused to work with him.
Conclusion: no matter how patriotic you are, never rest in a post-Soviet sanatorium.

I just want to evaluate the sanatorium from the outside, as a person who "did not rest" there, but "got there" several times. After the tragedy that occurred this year in the Yunost sanatorium (Simeiz), at least some conclusions should have been drawn, but no.

I was very outraged and touched a nerve, well, how can you place children in such conditions ?!
. . . Several times they tried to buy a "kursovka" for the recovery of their child. Then come tomorrow, now the manager is not there. Then there is no doctor anymore, you need to shuffle again in the very heat, and even sit in a huge queue. In general, they gave up on this idea. Well, I don’t understand why in this country it’s impossible to improve a child’s health for his own hard-earned money without running into rudeness, “rejection” - go there, I don’t know where; come then, I don't know when. . .

We rested in Mayak in September 2011. Before that, we had been in more than one sanatorium, but we had not met such a “service” yet. . We got from the station by bus. They go often, but ALWAYS full. Issued quickly (did not go on a ticket - 100% payment in cash). They showed me where the body was. They settled in "Brigantine" - a 3-bed room, after repair, not a sunny side, beds, bedside tables - everything was as they said, BUT.

Issued quickly (did not go on a ticket - 100% payment in cash). They showed me where the body was. They settled in "Brigantine" - a 3-bed room, after repair, not a sunny side, beds, bedside tables - everything was as they said, BUT... dampness, an incomprehensible smell (most likely wet rugs), a fungus in the bathroom and cockroaches !! ! Cleaning every three days - many in the morning going to breakfast on their own took out the garbage. The area is large, but run down. The medical building is large, the procedures are sea. The child's treatment was included in the price - a lot of procedures were prescribed. Additionally, they did a manual massage - room 9 - with high quality and without rudeness. But you have to be prepared to see queues for each office. And now about what spoiled the whole impression of the sanatorium. In the dining room, food at "3" - for breakfast milk porridge + porridge with meat. You have to look for tea on the tables (several teapots for everyone) and after pouring it, run to look for sugar. There are usually no salt, sugar, mustard and napkins on the tables or “from issuance”. , on the territory there are still many walking with children). Reaction: “I don’t go in the evenings. Well… go and tell the guards. ” The light bulb in the bathroom burned out. Answer: “The electrician will be there in 2 days. Wait. ” I knocked out the light bulb, agreed with a man from the vacationers (thank you very much). Done. And the last straw was the change of linen - after 7 days - silence. I clarify when they will change?... Never - it’s not supposed to... and the signature “Why are you spoiling my mood? ”. For my (considerable) money, I can ruin the whole vacation, and madam sits at work! ! And don't worry her. As a result, I wrote a statement. The hostess sister came running with large and surprised eyes - for the first time she hears everything. With difficulty, she squeezed out “sorry” (they don’t know how to use this word in Ukraine) and the linen changed at the moment, the number was removed and they looked at the light bulb))) why do we come to rest and are faced with outright rudeness, we go to buy everything, score, sew up and beg? For their money? And products, soap and light bulbs both “flowed” into the houses of service personnel and “flowed”. Don't want to spoil your vacation with such trifles? The sediment always remains, but the more often they apologize and DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO do, the more chances we will have a good rest.

Since I had a rest this year, I did not rest for a long time. After two hours of idleness in the emergency room, we were placed in the boarding house Primorsky. It’s very good that I agreed to the 4th floor, the mosquitoes didn’t fly. The heat was unbearable in the shade 35-40 degrees, in the room below 30 degrees.

Since I had a rest this year, I did not rest for a long time. After two hours of idleness in the emergency room, we were placed in the boarding house Primorsky. It’s very good that I agreed to the 4th floor, the mosquitoes didn’t fly. The heat was unbearable in the shade 35-40 degrees, in the room below 30 degrees. didn't go down. The fan somehow drove hot air out of the room. The fan had to be bought in the city (150 UAH), or you can rent it for 15 UAH / day. The administration does nothing, they have air conditioners everywhere in their working rooms, and let vacationers sleep in the "sauna". Everything is paid for in this boarding house, the ticket includes accommodation and meals. If you want with a child under 4 years old, an additional payment of 20 UAH / day without providing a place and a bed, and over 4 years old - 50 UAH / day. If you come by car - 10 UAH/day. Only air and sea are free here. The service is "all off"
On the territory, nothing has changed for the better for 8 years, there are no playgrounds. There are only paid attractions (seeing the administration is beneficial). The beach is in a terrible state, old concrete structures from which pipes and fittings stick out, and this is all on the children's beach. The algae were removed only twice in two weeks. Water is brought to the beach, but there are only two taps for the entire territory.
For the sake of justice, it should be noted - the room was cleaned well and daily; the food was excellent (tasty, varied and plentiful) also the dining room staff was helpful, polite and organized.

To put it mildly, the sanatorium is not very good! We ourselves rested nearby in a boarding house. We went to the Mayak sanatorium to heal, so to speak....the territory is huge, but not well-groomed, no flower beds, no benches... only yellow grass is everywhere (and this in early June!! ). The beach is not used and it began to be brought into proper form when people already drove in large numbers.

The entrance to the beach from the sea is free and a small segment of the coastal zone of the resort is rented to one of the many boarding houses (or hotels). The rooms do not match the requested amount.

I have matured to write about the ill-fated vacation with a three-year-old child in this sanatorium. It's even scary to call it a vacation! We lived in the "Frigate" building - the most remote building from everything, from the dining room wherever it went, but from the medical building - well, very far, and if you consider that with small children.

The staff is rude and vicious. The room was cleaned very badly, and for several days in a row it was not cleaned at all, although the whole check-in was for children with allergies and asthma! Only after the scandal of the mothers was the cleaning of the rooms resumed. In the hospital there are long queues all around, no good procedures are prescribed or done for free. The food is absolutely disgusting! Some combizhirs who did not even wash off children's clothes! I had to travel to Evpatoria, which is 25 minutes by minibus one way, to replenish food supplies in the supermarket, since my son was constantly hungry. There is no entertainment for children, an iron slide, from which a bruised butt and a corner of military equipment immediately. The territory is very large, but neglected. . . The beach is dirty, a lot of garbage and old pieces of concrete and buildings from the times of the Soviets. Pleased with only one thing - the weather as in October was super, even swam! But the child speaks with wild horror about rest. . .

Ukraine, Crimea, Yevpatoriya… The desire to go to the Crimea defeated the wife’s argument: “We have such a good dacha with a lake near Kyiv! ”.

Ukraine, Crimea, Yevpatoriya… The desire to go to the Crimea defeated the wife’s argument: “We have such a good dacha with a lake near Kyiv! ”. We must still give it to see what the peninsula has become since the last visit in 1986 (when Chernobyl exploded, I was rafted to Alushta out of harm's way). Vague memories of crabs boiled in a half-liter jar, queues at Rafiki minibuses and enhanced meals in the hotel dining room needed to be updated : -).
An acquaintance in a travel agency listened with undisguised interest to my wishes regarding the rest and began to look for a boarding house for us. Several places of rest suited all wishes, but the choice was decided somewhat unexpectedly - one married couple could not go on vacation to the Mayak sanatorium and we got their "burning" ticket for half the cost.
The Kyiv-Evpatoria train brought us to this sunny city without any problems. There were no problems with the stuffy car because it was a reserved seat with open windows. Not a very pleasant "bonus", in the form of an incessant grandmother from the top shelf, annoyed us a little, but, on the other hand, I received full information about the prices of poultry (chickens, geese), how to choose the right chicken, what not to do feed them, etc. on a bird theme (grandmother raised chickens, geese and turkeys all her life, and there was no one to share her life experience with). This invaluable information will certainly help me in my work as a service engineer for the repair of office equipment : -).
We get out of the car, then follow the instructions and go to look for a minibus. It was not difficult to find it, but on the way to it it took twenty times to say the word “NO” to sticky taxi drivers, five times to politely refuse to rent beautiful apartments at ridiculous prices, and three times not to be tempted to tour the city and its environs.
The minibus we needed turned out to be a white Mercedes minibus with a redesigned interior. The fact that the chairs were rearranged in order to maximize the compaction, I realized at the moment when I tried to cram my legs into the narrow gap between my chair and the back of the front seat. Unfortunately, with my height of 190 cm, my legs categorically refused to fit into the ten-centimeter gap between the seats. After several attempts to sit in a natural position, I realized that with no option, my legs would not fit. I approached a driver smoking nearby and politely asked if this minibus was created specifically for dwarfs or legless?! ? The unshaven driver looked me over lazily from head to toe and replied:
- Che, bringer?
- No, local, damn it! So after all, who is this torture chamber designed for?
If you don't like it, don't go. . .
Having received such an exhaustive answer and seeing the futility of further dialogue, I took Anyuta and walked around two minibuses standing nearby. The driver of one of them kindly offered to take the first two places for my wife and me for an additional fee of twenty hryvnias. Since it was necessary to go half an hour, he received his twenty, and we calmly reached our destination.
Sanatorium "Mayak" met us with a friendly polite administrator, who quickly settled us in the room. We settled in a suite, in the first building, which is called "Brigantine". Small neat room, kitchenette and bathroom with shower and toilet. Nothing to complain about, nothing to admire either. In general, what we wanted for a relaxing holiday. We unpack our things and go to look around.
The territory of the resort is quite green and cozy. It seems to be aimed at couples with children, since children's cries were heard from everywhere. A three- or four-year-old miracle, running past, fired at us with a water pistol and rushed on, successfully dodging an elderly woman who was trying to catch him. A little further on, three young mothers with prams strolled slowly along the alley. Here and there, wrappers from sweets and ice cream were lying around, clearly hinting at the presence of a large number of sweet teeth .
The beach pleased us with the absence of stones and large pebbles. There were no sun loungers on the beach, but for us the "wild" holiday was not new. Along the entire coast there were many holes left from the little builders of sand castles. Anyuta immediately climbed into the sea and began to study the bottom topography. To a more or less decent depth, one had to walk a hundred meters, but vacationers do not have to worry about the children near the shore.
We spent the whole evening sunbathing and relaxing, in the evening we went to the dining room. I saw a lot of different food options, but in Mayak I discovered another one. Portion meals with elements of the buffet . There is a pot with soup or borscht on the table, cutlery is laid out around it. Come, sit down and pour yourself your first. Bread and other related stuff is right there. When you finish with the first, they bring you the second (side dish with meat). If the first can be added freely, then the second is strictly portioned. Compotes, tea and drinks can be taken unlimitedly at the dispensing table. If a vacationer has stomach problems, the doctor prescribes special meals for him in the dining room.
The next morning I was awakened by a soft knock on the door. Anyuta was fast asleep, and I went to open it. A boy of eighteen years old was standing outside the door, when he saw me, he was embarrassed, and after hesitating a little he asked: “Does Anya live here? ”. Scratching my head in puzzlement, I went to wake up my wife, who, waking up, could not understand what and what, and then asked me to take the dumplings with cherries from him and pay. It was she who wanted to surprise me (I love them very much), but forgot to set the alarm and overslept the meeting. We have breakfast in bed, continue in the dining room and go for a walk. We were in the mood for a beach-lazy vacation and did not want to wander around the neighborhood. For this, the boarding house has everything. Most importantly, there was enough space for everyone on the beach, a little further there was a beach with sunbeds, but we never went there.
They cleaned the room in the morning. An elderly woman came, did wet cleaning and took out the trash. Since we were in the room for a short time, she did not have much work to do and we agreed that she would come every other day.
All our vacation we slept, ate and messed around. After active work, this is what we needed. The weather was pleasant, the warm wind was held back by the trees, and the heated sand pleasantly pleased us. Sticky merchants of all sorts of food bothered us for the first three days, but since we did not buy anything (boiled shrimps and suspicious chebureks did not attract us), they remembered us and did not bother us anymore. We bought ice cream in a store near the entrance, where we really bought fifty packs for the whole vacation ; -).
I summarize: this place was created for a relaxing family holiday in the middle price category, there are no discos and places where you can hang out (with the exception of a couple of cafes), the food in the dining room was a solid four. At the end of the holiday there was a minor incident - when I went to give the keys to the room, the administrator said that she should ACCEPT the number! That is, she went with me and inspected the room in detail for damage to the walls, furniture and plumbing. Neither in Europe, nor in Egypt, I have not seen this, although there were much more temptations to steal something. Thank God, she did not find anything to complain about and we were able to leave without hindrance. Resting in this boarding house, we got what we wanted and tanned and satisfied came to Kyiv...

The Kyiv-Evpatoria train brought us to this sunny city without any problems. There were no problems with the stuffy car because it was a reserved seat with open windows. Not a very pleasant "bonus", in the form of an incessant grandmother from the top shelf, annoyed us a little, but, on the other hand, I received full information about the prices of poultry (chickens, geese), how to choose the right chicken, what not to do feed them, etc. on a bird theme (grandmother raised chickens, geese and turkeys all her life, and there was no one to share her life experience with). This invaluable information will certainly help me in my work as a service engineer for the repair of office equipment : -).
We get out of the car, then follow the instructions and go to look for a minibus. It was not difficult to find it, but on the way to it it took twenty times to say the word “NO” to sticky taxi drivers, five times to politely refuse to rent beautiful apartments at ridiculous prices, and three times not to be tempted to tour the city and its environs.
The minibus we needed turned out to be a white Mercedes minibus with a redesigned interior. The fact that the chairs were rearranged in order to maximize the compaction, I realized at the moment when I tried to cram my legs into the narrow gap between my chair and the back of the front seat. Unfortunately, with my height of 190 cm, my legs categorically refused to fit into the ten-centimeter gap between the seats. After several attempts to sit in a natural position, I realized that with no option, my legs would not fit. I approached a driver smoking nearby and politely asked if this minibus was created specifically for dwarfs or legless?! ? The unshaven driver looked me over lazily from head to toe and replied:
- Che, bringer?
- No, local, damn it! So after all, who is this torture chamber designed for?
If you don't like it, don't go. . .
Having received such an exhaustive answer and seeing the futility of further dialogue, I took Anyuta and walked around two minibuses standing nearby. The driver of one of them kindly offered to take the first two places for my wife and me for an additional fee of twenty hryvnias. Since it was necessary to go half an hour, he received his twenty, and we calmly reached our destination.
Sanatorium "Mayak" met us with a friendly polite administrator, who quickly settled us in the room. We settled in a suite, in the first building, which is called "Brigantine". Small neat room, kitchenette and bathroom with shower and toilet. Nothing to complain about, nothing to admire either. In general, what we wanted for a relaxing holiday. We unpack our things and go to look around.
The territory of the resort is quite green and cozy. It seems to be aimed at couples with children, since children's cries were heard from everywhere. A three- or four-year-old miracle, running past, fired at us with a water pistol and rushed on, successfully dodging an elderly woman who was trying to catch him. A little further on, three young mothers with prams strolled slowly along the alley. Here and there, wrappers from sweets and ice cream were lying around, clearly hinting at the presence of a large number of sweet teeth .
The beach pleased us with the absence of stones and large pebbles. There were no sun loungers on the beach, but for us the "wild" holiday was not new. Along the entire coast there were many holes left from the little builders of sand castles. Anyuta immediately climbed into the sea and began to study the bottom topography. To a more or less decent depth, one had to walk a hundred meters, but vacationers do not have to worry about the children near the shore.
We spent the whole evening sunbathing and relaxing, in the evening we went to the dining room. I saw a lot of different food options, but in Mayak I discovered another one. Portion meals with elements of the buffet . There is a pot with soup or borscht on the table, cutlery is laid out around it. Come, sit down and pour yourself your first. Bread and other related stuff is right there. When you finish with the first, they bring you the second (side dish with meat). If the first can be added freely, then the second is strictly portioned. Compotes, tea and drinks can be taken unlimitedly at the dispensing table. If a vacationer has stomach problems, the doctor prescribes special meals for him in the dining room.
The next morning I was awakened by a soft knock on the door. Anyuta was fast asleep, and I went to open it. A boy of eighteen years old was standing outside the door, when he saw me, he was embarrassed, and after hesitating a little he asked: “Does Anya live here? ”. Scratching my head in puzzlement, I went to wake up my wife, who, waking up, could not understand what and what, and then asked me to take the dumplings with cherries from him and pay. It was she who wanted to surprise me (I love them very much), but forgot to set the alarm and overslept the meeting. We have breakfast in bed, continue in the dining room and go for a walk. We were in the mood for a beach-lazy vacation and did not want to wander around the neighborhood. For this, the boarding house has everything. Most importantly, there was enough space for everyone on the beach, a little further there was a beach with sunbeds, but we never went there.
They cleaned the room in the morning. An elderly woman came, did wet cleaning and took out the trash. Since we were in the room for a short time, she did not have much work to do and we agreed that she would come every other day.
All our vacation we slept, ate and messed around. After active work, this is what we needed. The weather was pleasant, the warm wind was held back by the trees, and the heated sand pleasantly pleased us. Sticky merchants of all sorts of food bothered us for the first three days, but since we did not buy anything (boiled shrimps and suspicious chebureks did not attract us), they remembered us and did not bother us anymore. We bought ice cream in a store near the entrance, where we really bought fifty packs for the whole vacation ; -).
I summarize: this place was created for a relaxing family holiday in the middle price category, there are no discos and places where you can hang out (with the exception of a couple of cafes), the food in the dining room was a solid four. At the end of the holiday there was a minor incident - when I went to give the keys to the room, the administrator said that she should ACCEPT the number! That is, she went with me and inspected the room in detail for damage to the walls, furniture and plumbing. Neither in Europe, nor in Egypt, I have not seen this, although there were much more temptations to steal something. Thank God, she did not find anything to complain about and we were able to leave without hindrance. Resting in this boarding house, we got what we wanted and tanned and satisfied came to Kyiv...
