Review of the boarding house "Kazantip - Center". June - July 2012. The whole truth about the rest is indicated here, and who does not believe, then - Welcome (maybe you will be welcome; )!
General: With family (2 adults + 2 children) were last year (2011) about 2 weeks. I liked it (4 balls out of 5). This year (2012) they came with their grandmother and her granddaughter, as well as with her aunt. Overall rating - 3 with a long minus out of 5. We will not come here again, but it's a pity, the first impression was good.
Pluses: Of course - the Sea of ​ ​ Azov (this is not a plus for the owners, this is a plus for the nature of the Crimea! ), Warm, shallow, clean, not very salty, in short - a cool sea!

Pluses for the owners - a landscaped area, daily cleaning of rooms, helpful staff, waitresses, more or less illuminated territory, weak Internet appeared, three rooms were repaired in the "line", fences were made near the rooms in a large house, swing benches with awnings were installed, the presence of sun loungers and a canopy on the beach, three meals a day, tennis, billiards, a playground, parking, peacocks, barbecue on order, special thanks to Lyudmila (the hostess for the meeting-seeing off) - that's all!
And now the cons: the TERRITORY, although landscaped and watered in places periodically, but IS NOT REMOVED FROM GARBAGE (like SHIT from the master's dogs lay, it lies for weeks, maybe now it is there, BUT THERE ARE CHILDREN PLAYING THERE). In the evening, the watchman lets the shepherd out for a walk (from 23.00 to 6-7 in the morning), so whoever wants a night rendezvous with a shepherd is welcome! Also, a dog runs around the territory around the clock - a mongrel (laika), which can playfully bite your child's hand, leg or something else, do you want extreme sports for children? - you are welcome! At night they bark and bark - we only dream of calmness! A playground is good, but the surface assembled from improvised materials (boards) has not been sanded, i. e. sawed, hammered and painted, the same thing with the swing bench, so take care of your arms and legs, there may be splinters! The territory is illuminated from about 20.00 to 24.00, then darkness, then walk with a flashlight! Parking on the territory of the boarding house, open, so that motorists carry covers for protection from the sun - the car heats up like an electric kettle!
The rooms have high humidity, probably due to the climate, but the clothes in the closet are covered in MOLD! Drying clothes outside is also a problem - it takes a long time to dry. Air conditioners work for 10 minutes, then turn off (do not work). The refrigerator in one of the rooms does not freeze, but HEATS like a microwave! Television - 4-5 channels in Russian, as well as channels that the owners love, everyone watches, and if they get bored, they switch to other channels - this is the attitude towards vacationers! In the rooms you can hear what is being done in the next room (for example, snoring) - minus!
Separately, about the OWNER of the boarding house - I did not like the owner of the boarding house, or rather his attitude towards vacationers. AndreiA is an uncultured type, he interrupts in a conversation, does not listen to the end of the interlocutor (woman or man), “flat” humor. My rating for it is unsatisfactory. The people who still go there to rest - I do not recommend communicating with this type, especially women, or not paying attention to him! I have been working constantly with different people for many years, as well as with citizens, but this arrogant type, has surpassed everyone. They organize excursions only for groups, there are no excursions for one or two people.

Kitchen - the menu is monotonous (weekly repeated). Fruit was never given (unlike last year) - a huge minus, because. people come here to relax and get vitamins!! ! Therefore, they bought fruits from private traders. The cuisine of last year was better and tastier. Tea or coffee You and your children may not wait at all - the distribution of dishes is not coordinated! Mini-bar, really very mini, at very maxi prices! I recommend buying in the village or in the city (for example, juice in a bar - 4 grams, and in the city - 2.4 hryvnias). The bartender needs to be "caught" (always absent) in order to buy, for example, ice cream!
Why is this review true - yes, because I will not go there anymore, despite the fact that regular customers are given a discount! I have been traveling around the Crimea for many years, I travel around Russian cities, I stay in different boarding houses, hotels, and I have something to compare with.
The owners of the boarding house - change your attitude towards people, do not look at them as “wallets with money” and eliminate these shortcomings, then regular customers will return to you, although you cannot change the owner of A-A!
Children are relatively well here, adults are not. Overall rating in 2012:3 minus!
