The base is ideal for a family, relaxing holiday with children. The territory is well-groomed, the beach is private, not sand, finely grated shell rock with sand, the beads are well molded. On the beach and near the pool there are sun loungers and umbrellas (included in the price, you don’t need to pay extra. The whole day the children are entertained by animators, inventing various games and activities for them, for example, an analogue of the game "Zarnitsa" from my childhood, with tasks, treasure hunting and some For very small children, a play tent on the beach, a trampoline, drawing, modeling, a disco in the evening, electric and velomobiles (for money).
Immediately upon arrival, our girl was braided with Afro-braids (thanks to the animator girl, I don’t know her name, there were no daily problems with combing), her faces were painted with little ones, she was proud of the tattoo on her forearm almost until the New Year, she washed off after three weeks, but the tan remained. In short, the child is delighted, parents too.
Dining room: in principle, it’s normal, there is enough food, there is an assortment, but, of course, after 10 days everything seems monotonous, but this is always the case with a long rest. For example, breakfast: scrambled eggs, casserole, dumplings or dumplings, boiled eggs, milk porridge, a couple of side dishes, sausages, sausage, cheese and vegetable cuts, pastries, sweets, marshmallows. Well, for lunch, at least three first courses, three side dishes, 3-4 main courses, several salads, vegetables, herring, lard, olives, apples, oranges, grapes, bananas.
For many, the problem is that no food can be taken out of the canteen, I think this is correct, although an exception can be made for something. After all, after the main meal, you don’t want to stuff yourself with cookies and fruits, and it’s not healthy either. And an hour later on the beach, the children are actively yelling: give! cookie-apple-drink! Of course, I understand that you can go and buy it, but still, if it is available and included in the price of food, why not take it.
I read a lot in reviews about poisoning. Well, anything happens when you change the climate and the usual food to another. But she herself personally observed HOW MUCH food is put on children's plates! Well, this can be a lot for an adult man. And after the canteen - to the pool, swallow the bleach. Then it is natural that the body itself wants to regulate digestion, hence vomiting and diarrhea, and it is unlikely to have anything to do with poisoning.
When it was already boring at the base, we actively walked around the village, went down to the sea and returned to the base along the coast. Yes, we also went to the Bakalskaya Spit, so, to see.
In general, the holiday was a success.
In fact, the idea of u200bu200borganizing recreation on the "Wave" must be objectively recognized as a good one. But the implementation, to put it mildly, disappointed. Definitely I will not advise any of my friends with children, on the contrary.
Immediately about the main thing. The fairy tale stay in the "Wave" ended exactly at 12:00 - the time of eviction. We checked out, but our train left only at 18:30, and the bus to the train at 16:00. We were graciously allowed to stay at the base. And then I had the imprudence to ask the receptionists to sell us lunch (we got breakfast before check-out). I had to feed the baby on the way. I was told that such a service is not provided (this creates inconvenience for the remaining guests. I still can’t understand what kind, because there is a buffet. Yes, and during breakfast they didn’t notice dissatisfied looks in their direction), and that the bar on the beach has children's menu and we can eat there. Well there is no way. It turned out that on that day the bar kitchen started working only after 15:00 (we remind you that the bus is at 16:00). We return to the administration and, stupid, I again ask to sell lunch for the child (I don’t talk about myself. I think mothers will understand me). I was advised to wait until 15:00 or feed the child fruit. The advice is certainly good, but my daughter, who is not obsessed with food and is already slightly hungry by 13:30, perceives fruit exclusively as a dessert or snack. I decided to contact the senior administrator (or director). They explained to me that he was very busy, he was on the territory, he could not come up. And that's all. To be honest, I started to get angry. In addition, they popularly explained to me that we are their guests only until 12:00, and then we are nobody and they call us in no way: Cinderella's ball is over. Out of anger, she promised to write a "truthful" review, to which they answered that it was my right. Agree. Apparently they don't care at all. The administration of the base is so confident in the "high" quality of the services provided...
Now the sea. I understand that it is difficult to catch algae from the water, especially if the sea constantly brings them, but you could walk along the coast at least once a day and collect them. Despite the fact that the territory of the base is cleaned regularly and carefully. Algae may be useful, but flocks of mosquitoes, especially attacking in the evening, found shelter there.
Animators are lazy. Maybe they got tired after 2 months of work? Well, we have been working for a year to come to rest. Children's animation, it certainly was. . .
There is a pediatrician on site. Delightful and good. Especially when you consider the number of sick children there. Our children got sick too. And we, adults, joined them. At first we thought that the children were bathing in the sea (they did not enter the pool), then we got sick too. We're back and now we're recovering.
Conclusion: we won't go again. And for that kind of money, other countries of the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts are waiting for us.
Many write about how terrible and unbearably bad it is, but at the same time they go there again. Yes, you need to be aware that this is Crimea, and not Turkey or Egypt, and various misunderstandings may arise. Such, for example, as not friendliness and rudeness on the part of the staff, but on the other hand, you communicate with them only during check-in and check-out.
As for the food, I can say that for 6 TIMES of staying there, neither I nor my children have ever been poisoned. We have always been pleased with the rest of the wave. Which is what I wish for everyone. If you have children, WAVE is what you need.
Of the shortcomings, sometimes a dirty sea. Probably when there is a storm somewhere. But there is a great pool. RECOMMEND!
