We rested in the sanatorium "Kurpaty" Druzhba department 2-bed room standard-south from 08/17/2012 to 08/27/2012. After reading the reviews on the Internet, I was horrified - where are we going? ! And now I specifically post a review on the network, I try to be objective.
About the car park. Directly from the Alupka highway there is an entrance through a glass tunnel. Immediately at the entrance, guests of the sanatorium put cars in one row - this is the parking lot - free and not guarded. The first day we were worried, but then we calmed down. Nothing happened to the cars. For those who wish, there is a paid parking lot in the neighboring Gorny sanatorium, but if you plan to use the car every day, then it’s not worth it - it’s quite far on foot.
Then you will be met by friendly administrators. We were offered 2 rooms to choose from. They gave me the keys. We went, looked and stopped at room 519 overlooking the sea and Yalta.
About numbers. Each room has a split-system, wooden furniture, in the same style, a convenient closet, a refrigerator, a TV, 2 beds, an extra folding bed with a mattress, a set of dishes, 2 armchairs, a table and 2 bedside tables. The balcony has folding chairs and a clothes dryer. The room itself is a decent size. In the bathroom there is a shower tray (it looks new), a clean curtain, a sink, a toilet bowl, a wall-mounted hair dryer (not all hair dryers remained intact). White bed linen, new pillows, blankets in the closet. Each is given 3 towels of different sizes. The maid came daily, wiped the dust, took away the trash.
They promised internet in every room, but I saw people with laptops in the reception area on sofas.
About the dining room. Dining room on the 7th floor with stunning panoramic windows overlooking the sea. Air conditioners work under the ceiling. In season there is a buffet. 1.5 hours are given for eating. You come in and you are stunned by how everyone is running around with plates. At first you won’t understand what’s what, but you quickly get used to it. There is a table with spoons, forks, knives and bread. Then there are rows of salads (vegetables are simply cut without dressing). There is also sliced cheese, sausage, butter. Nearby are bowls of mayonnaise, sour cream, carafes of butter, mustard, horseradish, ketchup. Next, barrels with the first hot dishes (usually 3 soups to choose from for lunch, and milk porridges in the morning and evening). Then there are kegs with green tea, black tea, hibiscus tea, compote and boiling water (coffee, sugar and lemon stand separately in dry form). There is a table with fresh buns and milk (jelly, kefir - depending on the time of day). Then there are side dishes, casseroles, stewed vegetables. At the end of the hall - 2 meat dishes to choose from (more often - boiled chicken plus something else - or roasted pork, or stewed heart, or liver, or sausages, or chicken cutlets, etc. ). A girl stands separately and bakes pancakes - 3 pieces per serving with jam, hot ones.
The downside is that there are no breaks, but we read about it on the Internet and came with our own. From fruits, only fresh sliced oranges and apples are given, but every day. If you come not to the opening of the dining room, but a little later, then there is practically no queue for food. I don’t like the queues - there is an improved food hall with a surcharge, served by waiters.
About the beach. There are 3 elevators in one support and stairs to the beach. You can also go down the territory - but why? The queues are small, only at rush hour in the dining room. With us, the elevator got stuck 1 time for 15 minutes. The beach is our own, wide, there are awnings, but there is practically no place to take (people leave their towels there at night, but they themselves either don’t come at all, or for dinner). But do not be discouraged - there is almost no shadow there either. Free of charge - limited number of wooden sunbeds. Take an unnecessary towel with you and “settle” it on a sunbed for the entire period of rest. For a fee there are plastic sun loungers and umbrellas. Up the steps - sleeping area by the sea in 100% shade. There is a shower, a toilet, a bar with live music, a children's area on the beach (bad). There is a medical center and a rescue station. The water is clean, Yalta is resting. Excellent bottom, without huge boulders in algae. Daily morning exercises and yoga right on the beach with an instructor for free.
About entertainment. Entertainment is not much. In the evenings, there is a cinema in the cinema, but it is stuffy there. Sometimes some guest performers come. There is a bar with music, billiard tables, a library, table tennis outside. A few days a week there are walks along the sunny trail, etc.
About the park. There is a park, but it is located further along the highway, where the Palmyra Palace sign is. In the same park there is another building - Palmiro Togliatti. A larger park near the Gorny sanatorium is up from the highway, especially beautiful above their pool.
About the treatment. The medical base is small, but it exists. There is even a medical 2-storey building. There is a bathroom on the beach, a salt cave, applications with bischofite, ENT treatment with inhalations. Maybe I missed something on the little things - since we rested without treatment.
About the gym. Looks well equipped. There are instructors in therapeutic gymnastics, yoga.
About the pool. The pool is closed during the season. We didn't even see him, only through the window edge.
About shops. In the building itself there is a department of resort goods, some souvenirs, books. A little further down the highway there is a mini market and a resort department with a good selection, but the prices will be inflated. Cheaper to buy in Yalta in any grocery store.
About excursions. Right in the foyer there is a stand with advertising and a specially trained woman sits. The tour bus picks up and returns people directly to the building. So everything is very convenient. If you want to go yourself, there is a bus stop next to the mini market. In 10-15 minutes you may be in Yalta, Livadia. Alupka and see everything with your own eyes.
Currency exchange. There is an exchange office in the lobby, there is also a currency exchange in the mini-market on the highway. The course is average 245-247. In Yalta, on the embankment, there is a course of 250. I have not seen it above.

Immediately at the entrance, guests of the sanatorium put cars in one row - this is the parking lot - free and not guarded. The first day we were worried, but then we calmed down.
