We lived in standard rooms (building 13) Rooms without a balcony and air conditioning. Since there was no heat, we could do without air conditioning. But if you relax in the summer months, you can die from the heat in this room. Linen was changed twice a week, upon arrival, they gave out a tiny bar of soap and a roll of toilet paper (you might think this will last for two weeks) when asked to give an air freshener, it was said that it was not allowed for those living in standard rooms. Fortunately, there is a store on site and we bought everything.
But the worst thing was that they were bugs crawling on the walls. They look like cockroaches, only much larger and with more legs. As it turned out later, these are cicadas, they don’t seem to bite. But anyway, when my husband saw them, he said that we will sleep with light, and in general they say, sleep in the afternoon. The room was cleaned very rarely, the room was wet cleaned once, the floor was covered with a carpet, and it seems that it is not cleaned at all, and the corpses of cicadas are lying around.
More about feeding: they usually fed, there was no variety, though not bad pastries. When we went on an excursion, they gave dry rations (for lunch and dinner) the most minimal set: pate, two sandwiches with sausage, tomato, small juice.

Further, the beach: Perhaps a big plus, it's a clear sea, at first there weren't many people on the beach, but then there was a check-in, and it wasn't crowded, just like in Sochi. The beach is not comfortable, it is divided into parts by buoys. There are prehistoric changing cabins and toilet (free and you know which one).
More about leisure: you can buy excursions and that’s all. There is a cafe on the territory plus another one on the beach. It’s not realistic to get out of Zhukovka without a car, you have to go to the track, and this is quite a decent distance up the mountain and wait for a minibus that runs every twenty minutes. Guys with cars are on duty on the territory and at an agreed price they can give you a ride anywhere.
Bottom line: we had a rest, in principle, normally, only we were not lucky with the weather, four days were good and then, a storm, rain, and the sea became just icy. Conclusion: we were in the Crimea for the first and last time, we won’t go to Zhukovka again for sure!
