We drove two cars (9 people) 1200 kilometers from Kharkov to celebrate the New Year. Here we decided to celebrate for the second time. I really liked it a couple of years ago.
There is magnificent nature, a cool park and delicious water in the springs.
But unfortunately this time we were somewhat upset and, probably, we will not celebrate the New Year there again.

First about the good. The staff is friendly, very pleasant. They made a New Year's party for the children. The children's room was open until late in the evening. The rooms are clean. In general, it seems to be good. The only thing in the houses (it was possible to be in the rooms in the building, but we rented a house) were incredibly shaky, creaky beds. So much so that you constantly wake up as soon as you turn around. Because of this, no one could sleep properly. The second point that surprised me was the absence of any shelf or bedside table in the toilet. Women cosmetics simply had nowhere to put cosmetics. But these are all trifles compared to the fact that there is no forced exhaust in the toilets. In other words, no one guessed to put an elementary fan in the toilets that lead to the bedroom. Because of this, sorry for the details, if someone goes to the toilet, then the smell goes into the bedroom and you constantly have to open the windows.
Now about the New Year. I got the feeling that Voevodino was accidentally taken as the head of the person who was organizing the New Year, who works for competitors. Otherwise, I can not explain everything that happened.
- In the hall, the lighting at the feast was like in the office. Those. very bright, no dimmed light. People felt quite uncomfortable;
- On the tables put such an amount of champagne, which ended after the second toast;
- There were salads on the tables, what you could eat, hot was terrible. It seems that the chef decided to experiment with new dishes, but the experiment failed. Almost no one ate what was taken out of the kitchen. At the same time, for the sake of honesty, I can say that in all restaurants in Voevodino the food is very tasty. But on New Year's Eve they decided to make an exception;
- There were a couple of good presenters who, at random, approximately, by their watches, decided when to count the seconds until the new year. Although it seems to me that if a projector or a TV without sound were hung somewhere in the corner, it would be more fun to see the president's address (even without sound) and a clock, as is usually the case. But these are trifles;
- The numbers of the show program were made not on the stage, but in front of it. Thus, the show program was seen only by the first tables and the people who were the first to stand between the rows. The rest continued to sit at their tables, perplexed…

- Finally, the so-called carpet group began to perform, which performed many different songs of foreign and domestic performers. They seemed to sing well. But can you imagine a band that didn't play a single hit all night long? Not a single incendiary song. All from some 80s or 90s, but not a single hit. Not a single song that is usually played to at parties and that is popular. Most of the people in the hall were just sitting, and the group itself was sincerely perplexed why people weren't dancing. As a result, the most drunken 5-10 people danced from the hall, where there were two hundred people, and another 15 people came out for one song when they heard at least something familiar. In short, the music is a complete failure;
- When the disco started, the hall remained as light as in a well-lit office. An hour later, the staff guessed to turn off part of the light. But it still wasn't comfortable. I do not understand why elementary color music was not thought out. Renting it costs a penny, but it would be a completely different picture.
- A supposedly professional photographer worked in the hall, who took pictures of everyone and everyone posed with pleasure. He promised that all the photos would be posted on the Voevodino website and in a group on social networks. We took several photos with the whole company, took a couple of dozen shots. What was our surprise to find out that our pictures were not put up. the “professional” photographer didn’t get any of the 20 shots. I'm shocked. It would be better if they took pictures on their phones. They would all work. Moreover, they learned from the company they met there for the holiday - the same story;
- Last time when we were the same company, there was a New Year's fireworks, this time there was not.
As a result, after the new year, after half an hour, people realized that the picture would not change and began to leave. By one o'clock half the hall had already left. Many went out disappointed with such a holiday.
As a result, I recommend Voevodino as an excellent recreation center with magnificent nature and a good attitude of the staff, but I do not recommend celebrating the New Year here.
