Tourist complex "Naroch", reviews
Many vacationers did not like the menu. The provided three meals a day, according to them, did not differ in variety, even with an ordered table. There were no complaints about the quality of the products, but the taste for many was fresh. But it’s worth remembering that “Naroch” is, first and foremost, a sanatorium, where food is focused on people who have come for treatment, and a diet menu is an integral part of recovery, so fried, smoked, fatty foods are not provided. Those who wanted to lose weight achieved their goal, while receiving a lot of positive emotions and sporting achievements.
Positive feedback is expressed on the quality of medical services and staff qualifications. Those who came in order to undergo the next stage of treatment speak of progress in their condition and recommend that their friends use all the possibilities of spa procedures. Many talk about the proportion of inattentive attitude among nurses, which slightly spoils the overall picture.
According to guests of the Tourist and Health Center “Naroch”, spending free time is not very interesting. Most of the negative reviews are expressed by those who came to relax for a few days and wanted some entertainment, at least in the evening. But it didn’t work out - a night club and dance floors, a restaurant correspond to the level of the nineties of the last century, and are more suitable for entertaining people who have stepped over their average age.
But those visitors who came to dump the burden of worries, to plunge into silence or for therapeutic purposes, for the most part were satisfied with all kinds of leisure activities. Family couples with children noted the good work of the children's room, where the kids remained under supervision, while the parents were busy with their affairs. Many guests warn about faulty elevators in the main building, they constantly break down and get stuck between floors, sometimes they can’t get out for quite some time.
Without exception, everyone who visited the tourist complex talks about one huge advantage of the place: the natural landscape. Nobody was indifferent to the beauty of nature and recommend to come to see with your own eyes a forest, a lake, tame swans, breathe air and fall in love with Naroch forever.
