Reviews from vacationers
They will also help to complement the idea of what the Isloch sanatorium is, reviews of tourists. Vacationers write favorably about the he alth resort, especiallynoting the high professionalism of medical workers, the friendliness of the attendants and the high dedication of the organizers of cultural events. Some come here not for the first time, and in two or three weeks they easily bring their body back to normal. Many medical procedures are included in the price of the tour. The main building of the sanatorium and its living quarters are clean and comfortable.
It also pleases vacationers that there is wonderful nature, silence, clean air. At the same time, the small agricultural village of Rakov with various shops is very close.
Negative emotions for some visitors to the Isloch sanatorium (reviews from travel forums confirm this) are caused by monotonous food, small standard rooms, a pool overflowing with people with highly chlorinated water, the absence of a relaxation room with a sauna and an uncomfortable mud bath.
In general, Soviet life is still noticeable in the resort, but the wonderful surrounding nature, wonderful procedures and the caring attitude of all the staff make you ignore some shortcomings and come back here next year.
