Только что вернулись из санатория "Шихово" г.Баку.Великолепное место.Вид на Каспий из номера и множество положительных эмоций!!!Хороший массаж( огромное спасибо, Мэнзэр ),сероводородные ванны,нафталам и фонофорез улучшили самочувствие.Спасибо доктору Гусейновой и всему персоналу. Горничная Эмма помогла организовать наш отдых. Ежедневная уборка номера ,чистое белье. В номере есть фен и чайник, холодильник (удобно,т.к. санаторное питание очень скромное) Внимательные, приветливые люди.Это то место куда хочется вернуться.Баку не повторимый город.Его обязательно нужно увидеть.

Sanatorium  Naftalan

Не рекомендуется.

Reviewed By fantomas825

Номер не удобный. Кровать старая и скрипучая. Сантехника в ужасном состоянии, напор воды очень слабый. Звукоизоляция на нуле. Из процедур выбрал ванны, массаж и парафин. Остальное фуфло. Насчёт еды - это ФИНИШ. Еда ужасная. Дважды в котлетах находил кости размером с горох.Не вкусно, однообразно и порции как для пятилетнего ребенка. Никаких фруктов. За две недели ни разу даже помидоров не дали. При бронировании спрашивал насчёт электрочайника, сказали что в во всех номерах есть. Пока шум не поднял, шевелиться не хотели. Совершенно не рекомендую. Выбирайте отель 5 звёзд. Там хоть еда есть.

A great experience in the remote Caucasuses...

Reviewed By groggery1

I went to the middle of Azerbaijan somewhat reluctantly, but came away a convert. Given the remoteness of the place and the mystery that will surround it for English speakers, I will write a bit more than usual, just to give information. Was there in October, 2013. 1. Before you go...Azerbaijan has strict Visa rules in place for most Western European or North American countries, and the Hotel can provide the necessary invitation (by scan), which they did when I booked without me having to confirm payment. It can take a bit of time for the Visa to be processed, so plan in advance. 2. To get there I booked an overnight train from Baku. Was very comfortable and very cheap, even though I went in a sleeping car. For $65 the Hotel will pick you up from the station and return you there if you let them know in advance (very important as the train arrives about 4am). You can also fly from Baku to Ganja, about 40 mins, and there are some direct flights from a few destinations (like Istanbul and Moscow), but you will still need a transfer to Naftalan. 3. The Hotel. It is a refurbished sanitorium from Soviet times, though you wouldn't know it except in shape. It is large, with excellent public spaces, nice sofas to lie on, a fantastic swimming pool with sauna and hamman, a small shop, a pharmacy, a cafe/bar area, a travel agency, games room, children's play areas indoors and out, a gym and free wifi. The rooms are small, though I also had a balcony which eased this problem a bit, and there are public spaces on all the floors. For extra I think there are much larger rooms on the upper floors. 4. Food. This is an all-inclusive place, and I really liked the variety of the food and the presentation. Unfortunately for me, I was laid low with tummy trouble, which meant I had to choose more carefully, but generally, this is not a place where you would lose weight for lack of food...Some of the local dishes were the best, plenty of salads as well, and vegetarian choices. 5. Treatments. Basically, there are two types of treatment: some conventional therapies like ultrasound and electrotherapy, massage, dental treatment and the like, and the famous Naftalan Oil Baths. I found both very good, and the lovely Azeri ladies were charming and helpful, and really want you to feel better. It was all very good for my arthritis, so I won't complain, though when there was a problem with one of the staff over my oil baths, the charming manager stepped in and sorted it out very promptly. Basically, the first day is spent in the consulting rooms of the doctors and medical staff, and they then set out a treatment regime for the rest of your stay. You can take some additional options as well though these cost a little bit extra (but this is not expensive: had my teeth properly cleaned for £15). 6. The local area. Visited the local town only once: a weird combination of some new buildings and some clapped out old ones, with new footpaths built for infrastructure that hasn't appeared yet. However the local people were unbelievably friendly and generous, in a way that we aren't used to any more in the West. On Sundays there are no treatments, and I went on an excursion with some fellow guests that I really enjoyed, seeing the beautiful mountains in the distance etc., and some excellent historical sites in Shaki (about 90 minutes north). Summary. I was quite uncertain about what this would be like, but found it very satisfying in the end. I feel better, had a good rest and saw a part of the world that I never imagined I would. This is not yet a place for English speakers: the treatments are prescribed and given in Russian (or Azeri), so either you or your partner needs to speak one of these languages. I found this fairly challenging for my Russian, given that it can be very technical vocabulary. The manager tells me that he is trying to improve this for the future, and I feel lucky I got there ahead of the waves of medical tourists that will surely come. For what I paid, I thought I got fantastic value: all meals, treatment and facilities for nearly two weeks at half what I would pay in a more traditional resort.
