Reviews about the camp site "Kashtan"

For all the time, both those who just wanted to relax on the weekend from the bustle of the city, and those who celebrated their wedding, name day or other celebrations here stopped at the recreation center. Among the main advantages of the Kashtan camp site, vacationers note the following:

• Food in the canteen is delicious and fresh, homemade.
• Awesome nature surrounds the base.
• The territory of the base itself is not inferior to the surrounding landscape, everything is clean, beautiful and green. True, you can still plant more trees so that there is shade during the hot period.
• The staff is friendly and caring.
• There is nothing superfluous in the rooms, everything is concise.
• Cleaning of houses is not frequent, but thorough, there is no garbage, only dust can be found here and there.
• The houses have all the necessary utensils.
• There is plenty of entertainment on site for both adults and children.
• Soundproofing is not very good, but noises from night festivities do not interfere with sleep.
• Great fishing organization.
• You can organize a boat trip at any time. Gas is always available.
• During the swimming season, the pool is cleaned every morning, and you can swim in it even at night.
• On common holidays (Shrovetide, New Year, Christmas and others) on the base they organizewonderful celebrations with various contests.

But still "Kashtan" is not quite an ideal place, and the management still has work to do:

• Spring mattresses need to be replaced for a long time.
• Promised satellite TV does not work well.
• There were bicycles with faulty brakes, which is dangerous for the he alth and life of vacationers.
• In autumn, when the swimming season ends, the pool is filled with muddy water. It must either be cleaned or drained immediately.
• Rooms are not equipped with split systems, so it can be stuffy in hot weather and not warm enough in winter.
• Some rooms are already in need of light repairs, in some rooms the wallpaper is already damaged.
