The main bummer: the resort invites vacationers more than it can accommodate. Therefore, everyone who did not have enough space is accommodated in rooms without amenities in building 11, in which a shared shower is on one floor and a shared toilet is on the other. On the second day, someone leaves and the poor fellows are placed in the booked room (for example, superior). So it was with us, and in the future we saw many such unfortunates. Second: at the reception, the employees do not have information when the rooms are vacated, they do not know how to work in the program, and this program is stupid. Therefore, registration takes approximately 1 hour for each couple of people. We arrived at 12 o'clock, finished registering us at 15:50, settled in a room without amenities, the first day (and the overall impression) were completely ruined. On the second day we were settled in our room, for this it is better to come early, at eight o'clock. The girls at the reception will promise a lot for "tomorrow", but keep in mind that tomorrow there will be another shift and these will safely forget about you.
Upon arrival, do not expect to get on foot from the highway to the sanatorium: far, steeply downhill and unrealistic. That is, you must immediately either take a ticket from the airport to Partenit or get to a stop on the highway, and then wait for a local minibus that runs about 1 time in 40 minutes. Buses run regularly from the sanatorium to Yalta and Alushta.
Entrance to the sanatorium: vacationers - according to sanatorium books, the rest - for a fee.

Beach - small pebbles with sand, sun loungers - according to sanatorium books. For the first three days, the temperature of the water was 23-24 degrees, then the temperature of both water and air was 21 degrees all the time, the water was clean. If there was no wind and clouds, they sunbathed on the beach, if there was wind or clouds, then it was cold, they hid in the rooms.
The park is large, varied, but not well maintained, mostly remnants of former luxury.
Meals: healthy soldier's food, we didn't go hungry, but don't expect frills. Fruits are mostly apples, rarely plums. Maybe due to the closing of the season, but only one restaurant on the beach worked, and it’s not clear how.
1 and 2 the second building (mountain eagles) are closed for repairs, it is indicated that until May 2017.
Next, I describe the conditions of the superior comfort room.
The decoration of the room is a clean scoop, but it didn’t matter to us. Two beds, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning. Terrible shower curtain that is sure to crawl up your back, then a full bathroom of water. An entertaining heated towel rail made of a half-inch metal-plastic pipe, amused. There is no shoe horn, no clothes brush. Ironing board and iron at the sister's on the first floor. At 23 o'clock the building is closed like a pioneer camp. On Wi-Fi, you need to get a password in the radio node, and Wi-Fi is only available in a few (about four) places. Ie, it is necessary to catch it somewhere, it is not in the rooms.
Mosquitoes - eat a little, it is better to take a fumigator with you.
There are facial and bath towels in the room. Beach towels and bedding are not provided.
There are two glasses and a plate in the room. There was a cooler in the case, then it broke down and there was no way to get boiling water. Bring a kettle with you. You will buy water in the city.
The swimming pool is open only in winter, while we also had it under renovation.
The pump room is not working.
The dolphinarium is a separate legal entity that has nothing to do with the sanatorium. We did not get there, and the prices are there: 5 thousand rubles for 5 minutes. Dolphinarium is a lure.
The fountain is open from 21:00 to 22:00 every other day. The jets of water and music are not synchronized, the colors are generally faded.
The main contingent is pensioners.
The cultural program.

A day later, dancing, then cinema, sometimes third-rate artists came.
Guided tours are offered in the dining hall lobby. We did not go, because this is not the first time in Crimea. Together with the neighbors at the table, we agreed with the driver (there are many offers, we had Vladimir 8-978-737-94-59), he also carried out the transfer and was a guide. We went to Balaklava and Khersones. It turned out cheaper, besides, we had the route and time ourselves. To the airport back also through it. We also went to Massandra on our own, a good excursion, get ready that you will leave from there with a box of wine, even against your will. (The peculiarity is that at the tasting they don’t let you taste the most famous wines, but they sell more diverse ones than it was at the tasting, so it’s better to decide in advance on the list of wines that you want to purchase).
From the places surrounding Partenit, be sure to go to Aivazovskoye. (300 rubles ticket price, for pensioners - 150) Plan more time: the park itself is wonderful, and you can swim on the beach there. To get to Aivazovsky - two stops on any bus from the main entrance. Not a bad excursion to Ayu-Dag, very interesting - around the sanatorium. We went on our own to Cape Plaka, the estate of Raevsky, the estate of Gagarina. Passage to Ayu-Dag is free.
Do not count on serious treatment. We were not prescribed mud, massage - only at the end of the term. In general, they say: “You are entitled to three procedures, the rest are paid. The best treatment is air, mountains, phytoncides. ” The staff in the medical building is friendly, and in the residential buildings and the waitresses are dissatisfied with everything. Another wonderful treatment - in the market at Tigran's wine for bottling! Cognac is burda, and chacha and wine are delicious.
