In Gelendzhik, as well as a friend of the resort town, many hotels, or rather hotels "Sovdepovsky" type. In them, of course, repairs are made, the furniture has been updated, the service has changed, but the spirit of the past time is still in them. In many of these hotels, and most of them are located on the first coastline, there is a private piece of the city beach, and in addition to relaxing there is still an opportunity to undergo a course of treatment. Mostly here are tourists who want to combine recreation and recovery.
I had a chance to visit the Sanatorium "Friendship".
At the cost of the ticket, it was approximately like a rest abroad to the sea with a flight of four stars. In the sanatorium, standard rooms, delicious food and good treatment, but it was it that took so much time that to the sea and not to reach. Then some procedures, then others. After a number of such health sessions, I really wanted to sleep, so the rest here turned out for me personally very passive.
You can refuse treatment, but it is a pity, because the tour is paid for this service. It turns out that as if attached to the place of rest. Therefore, the next time, gathering here, no about any sanatorium and speech could not be.
I believe that in the resort areas of the Krasnodar Territory, if, of course, you relax without children, it is better to rest "savages". So much cheaper, and most importantly rest is mobile. I did not like in one city, went to another. There are no problems with housing anywhere. A variety of housing announcements was disclosed around the city.
The second time I was offered friends and very spontaneously. Lived in the so-called Greek quarter. It is remote from the center area about 20 minutes walk. Here mostly 2 and 3-storey cottages that are positioned as guest houses. I rested with friends and the room we allocated one on five. The cost included exclusively accommodation, and in 11 nights each of us paid 11 thousand. Shower and facilities on the floor, air conditioning, unfortunately, there was no fan, but there was little sense from him. The ground floor is a kitchen. They eaten themselves, or prepared, or visited cafes, small restaurants and pizzerias, which in the center on the embankment a lot. Complex lunch costs 100-120 rubles.
The fact that you live from the center, the price is cheaper. This is logical. In principle, it is not necessary to book places in advance, although it is possible to do it. On the Internet there are information about various guest houses and hotels. If you practice and start a search in two or three months before the day of arrival, you can find optimal options and by price and by distance.
If you choose on new hotels that are a bit, then you will have to post significant amounts. For example, in the hotel Kempinski Grand Hotel Price for 11 nights will be about 130 thousand rubles, that is, about 12 - 12.5 thousand per day. For such money it is better to go abroad and get such a vacation and such a service, which in Gelendzhik do not know.
