Plyazh Naberezhnoye II

What a difference a year makes... Unfortunately, the changes have been for the worse. While the housing prices have remained the same, sun loungers and barbecues now come with a fee (not too expensive, but still unpleasant). Previously, there were sun loungers and chairs by the pools, making it convenient to sit while the children swam, but sadly, all of that has been removed this year. The administration and service are still excellent, although the cleanliness of the area has declined. There was garbage under the trees, and the three burners available for the entire base were sometimes insufficient. We arrived after a storm, and the lighting around the area was also problematic. As for Wi-Fi, it’s practically non-existent, with only Viber occasionally working. This year, we stayed in a house with uncomfortable mattresses. The benches near the houses are in dire need of reconstruction, making it unpleasant to eat outside. We definitely need a break from this place, but overall, I still recommend it! I recommend the base, especially for holidays with children. We first visited in 2014 after a friend found it online. The prices were cheaper, and the service seemed better. We booked without paying in advance, which was a bit nerve-wracking since there were no other bases in the area. We traveled with two young children, and upon arrival, we were told our room was occupied. Initially panicked, I called the administrator, who arranged for us to stay in a suite until our booked house by the sea was available. By evening, we were moved to the house we wanted. What I liked: well-maintained facilities, clean toilets, always hot showers, economy rooms by the sea, security, beach awnings, showers, a transfer station, a children's playground, and a children's cinema with cartoons in the evening. In the morning, vendors from the village sell vegetables, fruits, milk, baked goods, etc., and you can also place orders. There is an on-site cafe where you can order breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The beach is excellent, with some clayey areas and sandy spots. We returned in 2019 and 2020, and I was delighted to see the base had improved. There were free sun loungers, two swimming pools that the children loved, grown pine trees, and new induction stoves and a microwave in the shared kitchen. Everything was clean and spacious, with hot water

If you're looking for a relaxing vacation, you'll need to book a luxury room because the economy option falls short. The rooms are quite small, and there's a shared, very narrow table for two rooms that can only accommodate two people, not four. There are limited power outlets, and the beds, while not uncomfortable, are narrow and unsuitable for sleeping with children. You have to request dishes, which is inconvenient—why not just leave them in the rooms? Bedding also needs to be requested separately. The water heater in the shared shower struggles to handle the number of guests, and the showers themselves don’t close properly. There are three showers, but only one has a door with a latch, so you either close all three and create a queue or use them without privacy. The floors are basic crushed cement. There are three toilets, but they lack latches for privacy. The most inconvenient aspect is the lack of storage: there's just one bedside table for four beds and a hallway hanger with hooks. On the plus side, the swimming pools are well-maintained and a good alternative if the sea is too rough. The beach is wide, but the slippery clay makes entering the sea unpleasant.

This is my favorite recreation center. It's perfect for a quiet family meal, without the usual distractions like baklava and corn vendors. The area is stunning, with beautiful flowers, pine trees, well-maintained lawns, and plenty of shade. Gazebos are plentiful, ensuring there's enough space for everyone. There are two swimming pools and a large billiard room. The beach is equipped with sun loungers and canopies. Local villagers visit the base to sell dairy products. There's also a cafe on the premises. If you prefer to cook, the shared kitchen is very spacious. Drinking water is readily available. In the evenings, they show cartoons on a big screen. The staff is abundant and always ready to help. Once you visit Druzhba, you'll likely become a regular customer for many years.

A great spot for a relaxing holiday with children; it's a paradise for them. The sea is warm, the sand is clean, and in the evenings, cartoons are shown on a big screen. There's plenty of space for everyone. Room rates range from 400 UAH to 1000 UAH, with some rooms offering amenities like a toilet and shower, while others do not. Beds, towels, and dishes are provided. Barbecues, sun loungers, and gazebos are available free of charge. The dining room offers relatively inexpensive meals. Pets are welcome, so you can bring your furry friends along. It's best to arrive by your own transport, but if you don't have one, you can arrange a transfer with the administration in advance. A perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city!

We stayed for 4 days in July and absolutely loved everything! Special thanks to the administrator Vlada, who is very responsive, and the security team, who are always ready to help. In my opinion, everything was fantastic! It's the perfect place for a family with a child. The rooms are clean, the grounds are well-maintained and beautiful, and there are 2 swimming pools, a children's playroom, tennis courts, billiards, and even a trampoline. We will definitely be back next year! The only downside is the weak wifi, but maybe that's a good thing. My rating is 5+
