Gorny

Санаторий расположен на самой высокой точке города у подножия предгорий Кавказа, с одной стороны окружен лесом, с другой стороны открывается прекрасный вид на город. По лесной тропинке проложены пешеходные тропы для прогулок и оздоровительной прогулки. До красивого городского парка можно дойти всего за 15-20 минут. Расположение курорта таково, что почти 70% территории района занимают леса, отсутствуют промышленные производства. Отсутствие загрязнения окружающей природы, горы, речная долина, мягкий климат, близость к морю (60 км) и в то же время тишина, комфорт и первозданная природная красота – все это идеальные условия для одной из важнейших составляющих оздоровления - климатотерапии!

Sanatoriy Sochi

Soviet style service

Reviewed By YAD07

This sanatorium has an excellent location, beautiful park and 5 own beaches. But the staff can be uncivil, especially some doctors and beach boys who are not shouting loudly every time some swims over the “swimming zone” which is only 50 meters from the shore. Cleaning is too superficial. Full board but dishes are not varied and not tasty, especially breakfasts; lack of fresh fruits even in summer. The restaurant and elevators in the main building are just horrible. Overall quite poor quality for money, you do not feel relaxed in this place in summer.

One of the worst places I have ever stayed

Desperately in need of renovation. I have stayed at building-3 during the Sochi Olympics. The bathroom window had a piece of paper stuck to block people from looking in; it smelled; the carpet had stains, bed covers with cigarette burns.

Cool retro family hotel

Reviewed By 10H

We stayed at the hotel in July. We traveled with young children. The hotel has an older retro style. Still, it is well kept and a nice family hotel. The atmosphere is friendly and family focused. The children are in center everywhere, and the hotel is built for active young explorers. There is a large play center on the 2nd floor. Great outdoor playground and secure children´s pool area. Across the highway (secure passing) there is a great beach club complex with toilets, gym, restaurants and play zone.

Relaxing, healthy vacation

Reviewed By Elena66000

We went to Znaniye for a week with my teenage daughter and my parents. This resort has a beautiful park, very nice beach ( even it's a pebble beach), lots of space to tan and swim, lots of sun beds and umbrellas. The food in the restaurant (breakfast, lunch and dinner - included in the price of your stay) was absolutely fine as we kept in mind that it 's not a hotel resort all inclusive and cannot be compared to Dominican or Turkey 5 star hotels. It was typical Russian home made cuisine, good quality and lots of variety, always fresh - we really enjoyed it. The personnel at the resort and at the restaurant was helpful, polite, accommodating, great service! Rooms are quite modest and have a Soviet style look BUT we liked it! Cleaning ladies work hard all day trying to keep clean the rooms and common areas. Park is maintained beautifully as well. A little bit boring in the evening as the entertainment was available only for kids but we didn't really care as our goal was to relax as much as possible from our busy life in Toronto. We spent all day on the beach, swimming and tanning, and in the evening had nice walks in the park. There are lots of things to see around this area as it is situated close to Sochi, Krasnaya Polyana, National park, Olympic Stadium, other interesting places. We decided to come back next year but this time with my husband as he loved our pictures and stories. P.S. Special Thank you to Natalya Borisovna, Nachmed,( Russian word for the Principal Doctor) who helped us to schedule massages, herbal baths, etc. as our stay included medical services.

Zelyonaya Roshcha Sanatorium

Замечательно!

Reviewed By Tatali_24_Tatali

Мы приезжали в конце мая 2022 на четыре дня! Компания пять человек (команда медиков на мед конференцию). Мы веселые - думаем нас запомнили (спасибо персоналу за понимание, ребята Вы классные). Заселили по приезду - мы не ждали 12-00 - нам повезло. Номера большие - чистые- новые. Вид замечательный с балкона - бассейн, море, территория - она вся ухоженная красивая. Еда нормальная, кому не нравится - есть кафе на набережной - мы его посетили - очень вкусно. Можно поехать в медийную на Курортный проспект -там чудесные мидии - с красивой подачей, можно присесть в заведении в самом, а можно на пляже, светящийся кубик будет служить вам столиком , а подушки стульями))) В отеле красивая набережная. Мы за четыре дня побывали на всех локациях санатория, и даже посетили караоке. В день отъезда мы продлили номер - спасибо персоналу за организацию этого момента. Рекомендуем Всем НОРМАЛЬНЫМ людям! Кому мало фруктов, деликатесов и развлечений, не устраивает расположение, сервис и т.п. атрибуты - будьте готовы за это заплатить. Такой отдых будет стоить от 150 000 рублей на двоих за неделю и не в нашей стране. Один минус был - погода! Пару дней холод и дождь - но к санаторию это не имеет никакого отношения - вопросы к небесной канцелярии. Зеленая Роща! Спасибо за наш отдых!

Metallurg

Back in the USSR!

Reviewed By alexm262

What an amazing experience - to find yourself in the Soviet Union of 1950s, in a majestic building full of columns and massive blocks of Stalinist architecture, inside and out. Yes, it is a 21st century now, and the huge indoor pool has been closed for years, the park in front of the Sanatorium has broken paths covered with moss, but the Sanatorium itself, built in 1956, has been thoroughly renovated and is very clean and comfortable. If you go there, choose the booking with medical treatments even if you are in perfect health. The price difference is very small, and you will be entitled to a whole gamut of typically Soviet treatments, like mineral baths, circular showers, mud patches, delicious oxygen cocktails, mineral water, massages, inhalations, quartz treatments, you name it. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, doctors and nurses, the reception girls, the cafeteria personnel. Just keep in mind that very few people speak any English there. In case you are a vegetarian, expect to eat lots of salads but not main entrees (meat and fish only). Overall, it is like Nights at a History Museum. Go for it, jump into a Time Machine and spend a few nights in the era long gone!
