In the Grodno region (Belarus) there are many natural reservoirs. The picturesque forests around them create an incredible atmosphere. Clean air and healing springs have a beneficial effect on the human body. It is not surprising that in these places Grodno sanatoriums offer their services.
Unique nature
Sanatorium "Lake" (Belarus) was opened in 2003. In the clear waters of the White Lake there are a lot of fish, in the pine forest it is easy to breathe, and the birds singing in this reserved corner will finally make you forget about all the problems.
More than 30 types of medical-rehabilitation and physiotherapeutic procedures allow conducting a medical-diagnostic base. On a vast territory there are six residential buildings, guest houses, a restaurant, a water park, sports grounds and a medical building. There are special tracks for walking and trekking. According to traveler reviews, the only drawback is the need to constantly go out in order to move between the buildings.
For its guests, the sanatorium “Lake” of the Grodno region offers several types of recreation:
- hotel accommodation;
- weekend tour;
- ticket to the sanatorium.

Reviews
Planning a trip to the Ozerny sanatorium? Prices for accommodation travelers consider a bit overpriced. The most modest double rooms may seem cramped, so reviews are advised to choose luxury apartments (it is best to book in advance). Furniture and plumbing are new.
Change of linen and towels occurs once every three days, cleaning - daily. The main comments relate to the work of the maids, and the quality of the bedding leaves much to be desired.
Weekend tour
Many residents of large cities look forward to the weekend with great impatience, but more often than not their free time is occupied by shopping, house cleaning and other equally important things. It is almost impossible to rest during these two so busy days. However, there is a way out - go to the sanatorium “Ozerny” in the Grodno region. Here they offer a weekend tour, the duration of which is from two to eleven days. The price includes:

Opinions of vacationers
As for medicine, the reviews about the sanatorium “Ozerny” tell about excellent specialists. The implementation of all recommendations will certainly lead to the desired result. At the end of the holiday, guests note a decrease in weight (from 2 to 8 kilograms) and an improvement in overall health indicators.
Patients observe written recommendations regarding proper nutrition after returning home. Thus, they manage to reduce the risk of developing dangerous diseases and continue external transformation.
Of course, there are opposing opinions, most of which concern, for example, poor nutrition. Spa treatment involves a different approach than five-star hotels on the coast. Here you will not find a buffet or expensive restaurant dishes, but there is a large selection of locally made dairy products.
Water treatments
The main entertainment for vacationers is a health complex. In a separate building is located:
- pool;
- aquapark;
- gym;
- bowling Club;
- winter Garden.
For the youngest vacationers equipped with a separate pool with warm water. According to reviews, the water park has good ventilation, but there are only three slides and a “lazy" river.
Most of all, visitors like the complex, which includes several types of saunas (Turkish, Finnish, infrared and snow), a rain shower and a jacuzzi. For lovers of thrills, we recommend barrels of ice water.
However, these are not the only entertainments that the Ozerny sanatorium offers. Reviews say that the complex also has a bar. During the day, you can enjoy sweets that are prohibited by the diet, and in the evening - dance at the disco.
Sport
It is possible to increase the body's resistance to physical activity and spend the stored energy through sports. The sanatorium “Lake” of the Grodno region offers vacationers:
- gym;
- gym;
- tables for table tennis;
- large tennis courts (one indoor);
- stadium;
- a basketball court;
- health footpath (1.5 km);
- ski run (2.5 km).
Nordic walking classes are organized daily, and on weekdays the schedule includes water aerobics, table tennis tournaments and volleyball.
Leisure
Reviews about the resort say that much attention is paid to the organization of leisure activities for guests. Performances of creative groups, art exhibitions and sales of craftsmen, a library and an Internet cafe, entertainment for children - you will definitely not be bored.
Be sure to pay attention to cultural events. It can be dating evenings over a cup of tea, an incendiary dance flash mob, a day of Belarusian culture, or the showing of feature films (cartoons).
Even if you are bored by the Ozerny sanatorium, there are always some interesting sights on the map. For a fee, staff are happy to organize the following excursions:
- Lida Castle (XIV century);
- Zhirovichi monastery ;
- the city of Grodno;
- complex “Korobichitsy”;
- Belovezhskaya Pushcha (in winter).
Every week there is a free departure to Grodno with a visit to the shopping center and zoo.
General impression
As we already said, the sanatorium “Ozerny” opened its doors only 12 years ago. Surprisingly, vacationers were still able to find similarities with similar health resorts, which provided spa treatment in the USSR. Do you know who makes that impression? That's right, staff.
Administrators at the reception do not just forget about friendly smiles, but they can not even answer the basic questions of vacationers. There is disorganization and a complete lack of customer focus. No one will advise on the list of services that are provided for an additional fee.
You can find out the necessary information only in special folders at the front desk or on TV, where commercials are shown all day. In fact, it would be much more convenient to issue special brochures or arrange stands.
Responses of vacationers strongly recommend paying attention to staff training and revising the sanatorium's policy.
In addition, on the official website there is no driving directions and public transport schedules with which you can reach your destination.
Another note concerns the reservation service. After 17.00 on weekdays, as well as on Saturday and Sunday, it is not available. Representatives of the sanatorium respond to emails very late.
In a word, the sanatorium “Ozerny”, which has a magnificent territory, a medical base and a practically new number of rooms, has lagged a little behind life. It's time to create accounts on social networks, refresh photos on the site and start selling your wonderful services to travelers.
