Не жалею, что провел здесь отдых. I don't regret spending time here.

We rested with my wife on a social insurance voucher (shared for two with an additional payment for 3 days, only 12 days) from 14.09 to 26.09. I'll start with what I didn't like. Firstly: a ticket went to the building number 3 - "Palmiro Togliatti". I have already seen in some reviews that only Kiev and Donetsk residents are accommodated in Druzhba from the trade union - this is true. We specifically asked vacationers on the beach, in the dining room, where they were from. The rest are sent to building No. 3, which is mentioned on the official website, and you won’t find a normal photo of the building at all. I personally have nothing against the capital and Donetsk people, but do they have more holes in their noses, or do they go to the toilet in a special way? What kind of discrimination? Secondly, they got into a complete mess with the settlement. People live for 2-3 more days, and people have already arrived in their places from the next race. They live at the massage therapist, live in the doctor's office, live in the utility block. For 4 days they changed three numbers, until everything settled down. Thirdly, the state of the rooms, alas, is very far from perfect. We lived in a junior suite for two days, and so, in 2010 we rested in the Miskhor sanatorium, where a standard two-bed is better than this junior suite. Now on to the good. Immediately I want to express my gratitude to the administrator of the 3rd building - Valentina Stepanovna. Many thanks to her for her attention, sensitivity and kindness! Thanks to her, everything that I wrote about above faded into the background and we enjoyed what we came for - rest. Now - about food. Here, unfortunately, I cannot be objective, because I am unpretentious in food, for me, the food was tolerable. From the number of dishes that were offered, it was quite possible to choose something to your liking. Moreover, this year we switched to a buffet for the first time, if there were any rough edges, I think, they will be polished by the next season. Yes, it would not hurt Angela (standing on baking pancakes) to make her face more friendly, otherwise it’s a pity to look at her - such a sour look, and this negatively affects her appetite. Now, as for recovery. Alas, we didn’t get to the procedures (please pay attention to the date of arrival). Summit in the Livadia Palace and plus the Chervonenkov Rally! The route was closed from morning to evening for 3 days and the doctor who was supposed to prescribe the procedures could not physically get from Yalta to the sanatorium, and then there simply would not be enough time for a full course. Therefore, they used climatotherapy with might and main, fortunately, the weather did not let us down, the whole race was fine weather, the water in the sea is clean, it did not fall below 20 degrees, and more often it was 21-22 degrees. The air here is generally beautiful, it is easy to breathe. The beach is wide, there is enough space for everyone. In a cafe on the beach, however, the prices are exorbitant - a bottle of Staropramen beer costs 22 (! ) UAH. At the same time, Livadia wines were found in a shop on the highway: white and pink vermouth, and white and red Muscatel at a price of 20 UAH. liter! And, I must say, very good! I even took it home. So, in general, the holiday was a success. In the morning - to the sea, and then to the minibus and either to Alupka or Yalta, they returned to the room only in the evening. If there is an opportunity to get to Kurpaty again, then regardless of what I wrote above, I will go without hesitation.
