Darhan Tourist base in Kapchagay

Don't even think about going there! Horrible recreation center! Everything looks beautiful, but the rooms are all dilapidated and smelly! Take your change right away, otherwise the administrator Vika won't give it to you, she cheated us out of 5000 tenge. There is dirt everywhere, on the beach, around the houses, a terrible place, dilapidated gazebos are paid, don't waste your time and money on such a terrible vacation! I don't recommend it!

The zone is basically normal. But the service is terrible, we chose it based on reviews, it seemed like the room, the beach was fine, but the administrator 👎👎👎👎, first called and asked what time it was for check-in and check-out? She said we could make an agreement, we left after work, it was Friday, while we were shopping, there was traffic, we arrived at 10:00 p.m., she met us, we paid for the room, and immediately agreed, we arrived late, is it possible to leave tomorrow not at 5:00 p.m., but closer to 7 p.m. :00, yes, of course, don’t worry, and they also said our kitchen is open, breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything is there, the bar is open, the next day we are told that the kitchen is not working, we definitely spent 3 hours looking for cafes, a store, In the end, we only swam at 2:00 p.m., two hours later, Aunt Amina, the administrator came up and said, vacate the room, the people there paid me in advance, and before that there was no such conversation, and she says it doesn’t matter whether it’s 10:00 p.m. or 3 a.m. in the morning, check out. It’s 16:00😏😏😏😏, why the hell doesn’t she warn me right away, we would have chosen another place, she made us happy, and the next day she sings differently. In general, don’t believe Aunt Amina’s words, she can change her shoes right away. Complete trash, ruined the whole mood.

Overall not bad. The beach is rocky, it is almost impossible to swim. Swimming pool is paid. Parking is paid. The houses are old but have air conditioning

The beach is frankly disgusting! I’m attaching a photo. Rocky, in some places construction debris left over, apparently from the Soviet Union. It’s better not to even walk there with children, let alone swim, they can get hurt. (Was there on August 18, 2018) Entrance to this non-beach 700 tenge per person. The cuisine on the territory of this Darkhan recreation area leaves much to be desired, that is, “guyru lagman”, according to the chef, is only a few pieces of meat, bell peppers, onions and cabbage, all fried in old oil, which gave the dish a special aroma !(990 tenge) "Tsoumyan", the same story (990 tenge). "Homemade lagman", the same taste of low-quality or old oil (890 tenge) "Brizol" wooden, not the first freshness, a transparent piece of meat casing fried in the same apparently oil with egg (1000 tenge). The only thing that was normal was French fries. Kurt costs 300 tenge. It’s bland, crumbly. + For complete comfort, the cutlery was not brought in a complete set, they didn’t bring a large spoon to the lagman, a knife for brizoli. Everything would have been fine you could ask to bring the cutlery, but the waiter takes a long time, we waited about 15 minutes to place an order, surprisingly, the order was brought after 15 minutes, which suggests that the dishes were simply heated. Having brought the order, the waiter disappeared. appearing only at the end of the meal with the bill. Fortunately, there is a swimming pool on the territory (1000 tenge per person) and we swam there. I was too lazy to go look for a place to eat, although knowing in advance that the food would be like that, they most likely left. Result: Entrance per person 700 tenge. just to get to the territory of the Zoo (beach) + 1000 tenge. per person for the pool and + 500 tenge. per person if you brought food and drinks with you. What the boarding house administration did not say over the phone. It’s not a lot of money, but damn it, I was left with a feeling of dissatisfaction and resentment for the service. I strongly do not recommend this recreation area!
