We rested in Shayan in "Chervona Ruta" from 05/06/13 to 05/11/13 with a one and a half year old child. We drove from Kyiv by car. The road is a different story. Briefly. We went to Lutsk for an overnight stay with relatives. The Kyiv-Lutsk road took 6.5 hours (high-speed mode according to traffic rules). The route from Rivne (and in Rivne itself) to Lutsk is disgusting! The road Lutsk-Dubno-Lviv-Mukacheve-Khust-Shayan took 10 hours (Lutsk-Dubno is NOT a road, it's better not to go there; ). After Stryi - a pit on a pit. From Mukachevo to Shayan the road is even worse. On the way back, when we were driving, the pits were patched up in some areas, but this did not affect the time spent on the road.
We lived in a wooden cottage (log house). The main attraction of this hotel complex is the landscaped area. Beautiful, thoughtful, green, pleasing to the eye. If not the best, then one of the best complexes in Shayan. Outside it is a village. The house is very nice, clean. If you do not be distracted by various repair imperfections, such as: crookedly cut tiles, worn-out plumbing in some places; or battered pillows, then you can live  . From the equipment there is a microwave, kettle, coffee maker, refrigerator with freezer, TV, hair dryer, scales  . There are no stoves in the log cabins, but we resolved this issue with the administration (it was necessary to cook porridge and soups for the child). Full of dishes (plates, spoons, forks, etc. ) Hot water from a gas boiler. The first couple of days they could not set it up in any way so that it would flow stably warm, but then they got the hang of it. Once there was no water and electricity for about 2 hours. The maid warned about this, therefore, they did not suffer much. There were no animals in the house, I was afraid that there would be mice  . But every day, by some miracle, wasps flew in, despite the fact that we kept the windows and doors closed. Had to be kicked out. There were no mosquitoes either, and we didn’t notice them on the street, although there was a forest around. Problem with Wi-Fi. It can only be caught near the reception and in a restaurant or very close to it. There is a pool in the yard, including a children's pool, but we did not swim. Cleaned for the entire period once. They even vacuumed logs. Towels were also changed once. We did not deserve a change of bed  , we had little time. Garbage came to pick up every day. Tips were not taken from the table in our absence, only if they were handed, and this is correct.
We ate mostly at a local restaurant. Breakfasts were included in the price. The buffet is poor, of course, but we survived  . Lunch and / or dinner here due to the lack of alternatives. In the neighboring restaurant there were always a lot of people on the terrace (and inside there was not a very pleasant smell), but we didn’t find more places. They didn’t eat at the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although, perhaps, in vain? The menu of the restaurant is not very diverse, the taste of the dishes is ordinary (well, there is no “ah! ” impression left), and the prices are very Kiev. The “horse” of all desserts is pouring it without measure with chocolate topping. What for? Who told them it was delicious? Well, in the evenings, the screaming live music with the same set of songs “pleased” me. Sometimes it was difficult to fall asleep, especially for a child.

Buying something from food (we were interested in children's kefirs, yogurts, etc. , and just some fruits and vegetables) is unrealistic. The choice in two shops is small. Therefore, it is good that we brought with us from Kyiv the necessary food for the child.
The weather was great, there was no rain. I won’t even write about nature, it’s magical  .
Conclusion: in principle, the rest is pleasant, especially since we were in Transcarpathia for the first time. Little things that arose did not spoil the rest. One big downside is the road. She was very tired, especially with such a small child.
