Pine trees sway, birds sing, pony rides children along the path.

Sergey writes a review: “Good place! Repair and general execution of course not “luxury”, but quite decent. But low prices – do not overpay for warm outdoor pools and extras. services that you don’t use. The choice of food is not huge, but delicious. In the evening a cozy restaurant with excellent food and reasonable prices. Clean rooms with high ceilings. I liked the ponds with ducks, a small beach with sand. Good animation: well “started” people, there were contests and drawings. Large “game” in a separate building. Lots of activities for children: slides, playground, games room.”
Buffets & Restaurants
“All inclusive” in “Vozdvizhensky” involves the concept of four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. It turns out much cheaper than eating in a restaurant.

A few cereals on milk and without. A variety of side dishes: boiled, baked and steamed. Pancakes with sour cream, cottage cheese.

“Delo” writes a review: “the choice of dishes is huge. From lean vegetarian to meat delights. A large selection of soups – all delicious and rich. Of the meat dishes, I liked it – a pork roll with egg and meat meatballs steamed with fried potato slices, generously sprinkled with rosemary.
