Overall impressions
The Narzanov Valley Sanatorium (Essentuki) received positive reviews for a certain amount of individuality due to its small size, which gave many vacationers a feeling of almost family comfort and security. The small size of its own territory was successfully compensated by the presence of a well-groomed city park and an arboretum of a neighboring sanatorium. But even on a modest area around the buildings there was enough space for flower beds, fountains and gazebos.
Many people liked the fact that you need to go to the pump rooms for mineral waters, in time it takes from 20 to 30 minutes. Optimists view this position as a walk, an opportunity for natural physical activity with a solid two-time schedule.

As a way out of the situation, guests are invited to use mineral water, which is daily delivered to the spa hotel in containers.
Negative reviews mention that the he alth resort is adjacent torailroad track. Some vacationers note that passing trains create noise and vibrations, but not too disturbing, since the windows of the living quarters are turned in the opposite direction.

Reviews of treatments and procedures
Many holiday-goers liked their stay at the Narzanov Valley sanatorium (Essentuki). Reviews of vacationers tell about the attentive staff at all levels - from cleaners to administration. The professional work of doctors is highly appreciated, who not only make appointments, monitor the dynamics of recovery, but also participate in the provision of many procedures. It is noted that the tactics of treatment is determined after a thorough diagnosis and questioning of the spa visitor who arrived for treatment. Each vacationer is assigned a treating specialist who analyzes the state of he alth and makes appointments.
Neutral reviews indicate that a small number of free treatment activities are included in the price of the tour. For those who came to relax and simply strengthen the immune system, relieve fatigue, such help is enough. Patients with diseases requiring spa treatment have to pay additionally for the necessary set of procedures almost in full. For railway employees who pay only 20% of the cost of a ticket, it is not difficult to increase it, but for those who buy a full board it is difficult, and, as many note, it is not advisable.

Treatment in the sanatorium is rather preventive in nature and is aimed primarily at improving he alth, improving well-being, as the specialists working here say.
At the same time, almost everyone left feedback that even for such a small complex, in the treatment block, there are clearly not enough baths, showers, massage rooms, etc. Lack of the required number of places for procedures during the high season provokes long queues, many are late, hustle and confusion begins. Specialists in such conditions do not provide services in full, deliberately reducing the time so that everyone has time to complete them, the quality of treatment suffers from this.

Reviews about the rest in the sanatorium
Most of the reviews aboutsanatorium "Valley Narzanov" positive impressions are described. Vacationers say that staying in the he alth resort gave them a period of calmness, regularity and good mood. Some managed to slightly improve their he alth, strengthen the nervous system and get a charge of vivacity for a long period.
At the same time, the Narzanov Valley sanatorium (Essentuki) in the reviews of 2017 is called a he alth resort that does not reach the qualification of an institution with 4 stars in terms of service, comfort and design. The reasons include some indiscipline of the staff, outdated furniture in the rooms, not the highest level of medical services, a small variety of leisure activities.
Most visitors concluded that it is very pleasant and profitable to come on a discounted ticket. The full price of the voucher, according to the majority of holidaymakers who left reviews, is not justified - the declared profile of medical services is nominal and only helps to improve he alth, carry out preventive measures, but no more.
Mineral waters play a big role in the treatment, but the sanatorium has an indirect relation to them, it is possible to carry out hydrotherapy without settling in rooms. In general, vacationers recommend coming to a he alth resort for a vacation, but not relying on fundamental sanatorium treatment, but limiting themselves to rest, peace and beauty of the Caucasus.
