Impressions of guests
In the reviews of the Yantar sanatorium in Lazarevsky, vacationers note that this place is primarily suitable for people who really need treatment and not for those who come to hang out and actively relax. But here you can relax from the hustle and bustle of the clean sea and a comfortable beach.
The sea is located in close proximity, about two hundred meters from the beach. Before him there are no obstacles in the form of funiculars or ladders. Around the magnificent park with a unique microclimate. Thanks to him, it’s not as stuffy here as in Lazarevsky. Both buildings are equipped with comfortable rooms.
The beach is rocky, while large enough, so that there is enough space for everyone. The staff is polite. If you want to take a lounger, you will have to get up early in the morning, by eight or nine o'clock they are already dismantled. The rooms are cleaned daily, chefs prepare a varied and tasty meal according to a custom menu.
If you want to go to Lazarevskoye, you can use the train (about five minutes) or the bus (about half an hour).
Many appreciate the treatment that is provided here. Massage is done by real professionals, prescribed medicinal teas, inhalations with sage, mineral water. It is important that all this is included in the price of the permit, for military pensioners it is of great importance. The territory of the sanatorium itself is well-groomed, you can sit among the trees on a bench and breathe fresh air. In the immediate vicinity there are two cafes with Internet, where they prepare pies, barbecue and pasties.
But on the beach there are no strangers, since the access system is well-functioning. There is an aerarium, but to take places in it is very problematic, for this you need to come around six in the morning.
Negative opinions
At the same time, we must admit that there are quite a lot of negative reviews about the Yantar military sanatorium in Lazarevsky. Some guests are unhappy that it is too far to get to the sanatorium, even if you use a taxi. Cars are not allowed to drive to the front desk. You have to get to the resting place by public transport to the checkpoint, and then walk for about another kilometer, and to enter the platform, you need to overcome the railway tracks, which, of course, not everyone can do.
When checking in alone, guests can be sent to the sixth floor in a small room without amenities, while the toilet and shower will be immediately to three rooms. In addition, the elevator in the sanatorium regularly breaks.
At the same time, vacationers note that, in fact, there is no beach in this place. There are very few sun loungers, because of them there are constantly quarrels and conflicts. In addition, almost no recreational activities are held in the sanatorium itself, as it was originally promised. All the people are sitting in the cafe, as there is simply nothing more to do. In addition, many people call the food in the sanatorium disgusting, it seems that the dishes are prepared from low-quality products, and the portions are very scarce. Most of the guests go to nearby cafes daily to satisfy their hunger. It is bad that there is only one store in the district that uses its monopoly and unreasonably overprices.
Many are unlucky with treatment, as the equipment constantly fails and breaks. The beach is dirty, covered in huge stones, so it is better to go swimming away, where there is a more comfortable entrance to the water.
Some admit that you should go to this sanatorium only if you plan to spoil your vacation. There are no entertainments, the rooms are more like shacks, they are poor, damp, there are insects.
