So, this year "Miskhor". Chosen last year after Ai-Petri ( http://www.turpravda.com/uc/koreiz/Ay_Petri-h14982-r26569.html), in which you had to go up to the 8th floor to the dining room. . . And here, it seemed, elevators, transition, etc.
Further in the text to square brackets - links to the photo.
LOCATION. "Miskhor" is one of the most famous sanatoriums of the South Coast. It is located in the center of the resort town, around it there are an unusually many shops, cafes, restaurants, dance floors, etc. Only 40 minutes by minibus 32 to the center of Yalta (thing market). Entrance to the beach after a luxurious park, according to health books. Nearby is a promenade with a huge number of different entertainments, shops, stalls, a pier with regular motor ships in different directions.

ACCOMMODATION. 2 buildings [1], connected by a covered walkway to the canteen building and the administrative building. Both buildings are perpendicular to the sea, on the one hand the sun in the morning, on the other - in the afternoon. In the rooms of the western side - on the balconies there are special curtains [2] from wind and sun. The best rooms, two-room suites for 2 people - in building 1 on the 2nd floor [2.3]. Restaurant catering, indoor cinema above the dining room, summer cinema at the beach level, karaoke area, a series of children's playgrounds enfilade to the sea. . . What is there! There is even WiFi in the lobby of building 1 on the 1st floor!
SUITE ROOM is made up of two ordinary rooms, between which a door has been cut through [6-13]. Accordingly, 2 entrance doors with TWO different keys, which is convenient for two people : ), two bathrooms, two toilets. The rooms are small but square, with thoughtful furniture placement. In the living room there are 2 mirrors, as it is, in fact, it should be - one at the level of the head of a standing person, there is a hairdryer on the wall near him [7.8]; the second is above the dressing table at the level of the seated person [6]. The balconies of the living room and bedroom are separated. In the living room, across the exit to the balcony, there is a terribly growling monster - a floor (! ) air conditioner [7.8], from which water must be poured 2-3 times a day. When it was very hot (+35), with all the doors closed, it gave the illusion of coolness for 4 hours... the rest of the time I turned it off and freed up the exit to the balcony. The noise from other rooms is almost inaudible; since both rooms have double doors to the hallway, no noise from the hallway can be heard either. Enough electrical outlets! - I see this for the first time on the South Coast. Instead of a creaky, crumbling closet in the bedroom, there is a three-door coupe [12]. I, who have traveled to many sanatoriums, see an ironing board with an iron for the first time in a room - this is not even in the best MLSO sanatoriums (who knows what it is - they will understand). In short, a huge number of little things are carefully provided for, which do not exist in other places.
BEACH own. On the beach there are souls, oxygen cocktails (5 hryvnias), a massage room (200 hryvnias), a dedicated smoking area, a string of covered wooden deck chairs for air baths, a second string of the same for half-solar ones. However, the beach itself [14] is too small for 1250 people. . . And taking into account the inescapable Slavic nature, which in the morning throws towels with pebbles on sun loungers for itself, husband / wife and children, immediately rushes headlong to occupy the second string in the half-sun, and then relaxed down to the sea with the last towel the size of a banner - places, gentlemen, and netuti. : ) It is understandable, the calculation was, apparently, on the Europeans... and the Asians are coming, sir. Unlike past resorts ("Yuzhnoberezhny", "Ai-Petri" and many others), only 83 steps lead to the beach in 4 steps, and not 245. So this year I swam for the first time in many years!
THE DINING ROOM promises restaurant dining for all in the suites and those who wish among the rest. In fact, these are three piles of vegetables lying on the buffet, and sometimes - herring and sausage that cats do not eat. By the way, for some reason, "restaurant" food is sold only in the hall of the "second" (and judging by the size of the stairs - the fourth, by our standards) floor. : ((I can’t say bad about the quality of food, the only time was rotten fish, but we didn’t even complain, +36 it’s not a joke, we just didn’t eat it and got drunk on vegetables. The choice of dishes on the menu is minimal, but the diet menu exists and functions.

The POLYCLINIC is huge, with many floors. A bunch of procedures... I will not list why - at the end.
PRICES are exorbitant, of course. This needs to be said specifically. I ordered a suite in April, after long negotiations and 2 weeks of e-mail clarifications, I was finally sent an invoice in Ukrainian. with an offer to pay 1724 euros in 12 days. Upon arrival, I was confronted with the fact that the German bank, through which the payment was made to PrivatBank of Ukraine (well, it’s impossible to pay directly), withdrew 8% in its favor (go check it out! ), And I had to immediately pay more than 730 hryvnia... Why this could not have been said in advance is unclear. The head physician pretends that he is not aware. . . : )) In response to the payment, a one-line E-Mail arrived that 1724 euros were received. And that's it. The fact that, according to the laws of the Russian Federation, a ticket has been needed for 2 years already to receive a resort card, no one, including the head physician, is also aware.
SPOONS OF TAR AND GENERAL IMPRESSION. First of all, you need to GO to the clinic by bus! ! Between the sanatorium and the clinic wedged the "Actor" d / o and a couple of private properties... I don't like it, I went there only 1 time for a mandatory initial doctor's appointment.
Noise. Constant noise from everywhere from the street. After 8 am, work begins with a jackhammer under the window [15]. After 19 from the playground with studio amplifiers daily children's entertainment program. Blocks even the noise of the air conditioner. In the rooms on the other side - at 19 karaoke starts, also with sickly speakers. Eating to constant raucous music interspersed with announcements of the cultural program for the day. On the beach, every 15 minutes, all possible paid procedures are listed in detail (the time of the day and the weather does not come to mind).
Children. A huge number of children. At least 300 children per 1250 person places. It is impossible to eat normally without a child's squeal.

Elevator. . . Oh, there are two elevators. But the truck only works 3 times a day for two hours.
Transition... that was a blow to my stomach. In vain I rolled out my lips a year ago... The transition also works 3 times a day for 2 hours !! ! This means that if you come to your room after breakfast/lunch to take pills, lie down for half an hour to the sound of jackhammers and decide to go out into the city - FSE. The passage is closed, and be kind enough to drag yourself up the stairs [3]. Well, after 19 hours, neither go out into the city, nor enter [17].
About such trifles as 3 light bulbs burned out at once on the second day, pouring water from the air conditioner, the cabinet door that I had to just take out [12, to the right of the cabinet], TVs that cannot be plugged into DVD or music player - about everything I am silent on this.
I certainly won't go there again.
OVER THE PROGRAM. What kind of bastard did not provide for a dining car in the N234 "Sevastopol-Moscow" train, which runs for 26 hours? ? Our bastard, Moscow... For the train is Moscow. Why the hell take a two-seat coupe when they don't give you food? ? There is a restaurant in the Ukrainian train 17/18.
