Rested in July 2013. I rest here not for the first time and therefore I want to tell everyone who wants to get into the "Pearl". Guys, read the reviews carefully!
Several times they wrote here: if you are looking for entertainment, discos, this resort is not for you. Don't waste your time and money! There really is no entertainment here.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, if you need to recuperate after mental and / or physical overload, a noisy city, a frantic pace of life, a terrible environment - then you are here!
I come here only for the sake of the wonderful nature and comfortable beach. The park is huge and with unique vegetation - you don’t need to go to the Nikitsky Garden! As for the beach. In almost all sanatoriums and boarding houses of Crimea, outsiders are allowed on the beach (for a fee). As a result, the beaches are overcrowded, the sanatoriums need to take places almost at 6 in the morning, and by noon everyone is on top of each other...

Here the situation is different. The beach is only for sanatoriums (due to the seclusion of the sanatorium). There are enough plastic sunbeds for everyone: both in the shade and in the sun (besides, there are a lot of wooden ones). Particularly arrogant vacationers even occupied two sunbeds per person - 1 in the shade, 1 in the sun, but I did not have such impudence. You can also move freely along the beach, there is no overcrowding.
What has changed in the "Pearl" compared to other years?
There is more order and the staff is very attentive. Almost every day I saw the director on the beach and on the paths of the park (he could be calculated by the number of the surrounding retinue). It can be seen that he does not sit in the office, but personally keeps order. The security of the sanatorium appeared.
Further.
Rested in building 32. The staff often asked me - am I satisfied with everything, do I need anything? Very nice. And if there were any problems, I contacted them and they immediately reacted. Thank you very much to the staff of building No. 32 for that! So, for example, on the day of departure, I fell ill. There is no pharmacy kiosk nearby (which is also confirmed by the locals), the nearest one is only in Miskhor. I turned to the duty officer in the building, and she told me that there is a nurse's office on the territory of the sanatorium, I went there and the nurse gave me pills for free.
That is, if there are problems, vacationers should not run to complain to the authorities or somewhere else, but try to figure it out on the spot.
Let me summarize. On the positive side - nature, clean air, a wonderful beach, a good library, attentive staff. The waiters were excellent, all attentive and smiling. There are enough places in the restaurant for all vacationers.
From the negative. Didn't like the food. First, there is no variety. The whole period that I was, the same thing was served for breakfast, the same thing for lunch and dinner. The food is not that tasteless, but tasteless. July is the peak of the fruit and vegetable season, and we were fed with carrots, cabbage, seaweed, apples - that is, "winter" vegetables and fruits. To be fair, there were tomatoes and cucumbers. And where are the zucchini, eggplant, cherries, cherries, plums?

Meat is very tasteless. The buffet itself is not to my liking. It was better when vacationers were fed “as usual”. Less fuss, less running around the hall. Okay, even with trays, otherwise with every plate and glass you need to “shuttle” from the table to the line for food and back.
What else… The first floor of building No. 32 is very damp, even in the July heat. And not only I complained, but all my neighbors. On the one hand, this is the cheapest building, but now I won’t even stop there for free. Despite the attentive and caring staff. Health is more expensive. I'll choose another body.
