On July 29 we just returned from Yalta. Rested with my mother in this resort. We are not spoiled by Turkey and other foreign countries, but we had to visit decent hotels. But! From Yalta, we did not expect anything ultra-modern and super-comfortable. Yes, everything is Soviet. So what. Of course, the hulls could have been improved. But it looks like there is no money for this, I don’t know where they go. The furniture is certainly not new, but it is not fatal. Plumbing did not leak, everything is normal. Not very comfortable tray in the shower, too much water gets on the floor. But they managed. There was a rag in the room. There are not enough sockets - only 2. To turn on the hair dryer, you had to turn off either the TV or the refrigerator. Our windows overlooked the courtyard. from there, only a drop of the mountains are visible through the trees, and the rest is a view of residential buildings. Although not only. Opposite the balcony, squirrels are jumping through the trees and I even seem to have seen a woodpecker. In general, nature is amazing in every sense, a paradise for naturalists. In Yalta, in general, there is something to be surprised, in a good and kind way. For example, I was surprised that there is such a reverent attitude towards trees that no one cuts down a tree that has grown in the middle of the sidewalk out of respect - it has been growing for too long to be cut down like this overnight. The territory of the sanatorium was not large. Three buildings are sleeping, one is a dining room and a medical one. And earlier, nearby boarding houses, it turns out, were also the buildings of the sanatorium. It's a shame. The resort used to be one of the best. About the treatment. Massage costs 50-40 hryvnia per session. Acupuncture, God forbid memory, is it not 1000 hryvnia course. But I didn't. Only a few massage sessions. Keep in mind that 1 massage session of the collar area is free of charge for the package. Everyone, without exception, is given the opportunity to inhale and take herbal decoctions - breast collection or sedative. You can still do KUF, if the doctor prescribes, there are some other bells and whistles there, such as electrophoresis, but we were not prescribed anything like that. The food is good. Of course you won’t ask for an addition, but it was enough. For breakfast, there was porridge (optional) and something meat with a side dish, scrambled eggs or boiled eggs, tea or cocoa. Lunch - vegetables for a snack, sometimes a piece of herring, then soup, a main course and compote. Dinner - meat with a side dish, or pancakes, or something else, tea. Fine. Enough calories for the descents and ascents of the mountains. We also managed to feed the local cats (there are a lot of them) with meat. In general, the impressions are good. The staff is friendly. The only thing was that they could not apply any sanctions to the students from St. Petersburg who were yelling and laughing at night, who settled down on the floor below. At night, the poor woman on duty sits, guarding, while the spree vacationers all crawl to the sanatorium and cannot go anywhere. Maybe they should put better security. People who lived overlooking the sea complained that when music plays or fireworks in the city, the audibility in the rooms is good. There are no air conditioners. Some rooms seem to have, but they are not allowed to use - for a fee. The cleaner is a good aunt, helpful. We really half relieved her of her duties. They cleaned the floor themselves. Sea. The sea is a delight. Even if it's a pebble. Imagine, it turns out that the Yalta beaches were once sandy, and the pebbles were formed from specially poured rubble. They poured it so that the beaches were cleaner. It is more convenient to walk to the city beach, it is located as a downhill not on the right where the Dolphin is, but on the left. Walk a little towards the waterfront. The beach is good, although very crowded. but we went there in the evening so as not to overbathe, and then there were not many people. There is even a shower on the Dolphin beach (it is located in front of the beach of the Kirov sanatorium. As soon as you pass through the blue gate. Since this year, the law in Crimea has come out that all beaches are free for vacationers. So keep in mind. There should be no paid beaches. Well, Actually, that's all I wanted to say. Happy holidays in the beautiful country of Crimea.
