An excellent beach with water slides and a huge swimming pool for descent, there is also a changing room on the territory, there is a toilet across the street (for vacationers on this beach), music is playing, deck chairs with awnings are included in the price of passage (3000 tenge per person over 10 years old at the moment on July 14, 2026) to the beach, a pier with stairs for descending into the water (since the bottom is rocky, not very convenient for entering the water). I recommend it for families with children.

It's a beautiful place. We were a family of four for 5 days. A detached room with its own attic. The room has all the amenities. Air conditioning, refrigerator, one double bed and two single beds. HB underwear, which is very rare, is of high quality. Everything is green, there is a swing on the territory, a night cinema, and activities for children every evening. Your own beach. Sun beds are free, all under a canopy. And most importantly, it's clean everywhere. The cafe's cuisine is excellent, even people from neighboring bases came here. We identified them by their bracelets. We had the greens. Admins always go around asking how you are, if there are any questions. In general, we are very satisfied. We will definitely come again

The hotel is located on the first line of Balkhash. There are two slides, but the pool leaves much to be desired. The smell of rotten water! It is necessary to change the water in the pool more often, it is unpleasant to be there! The beach is clean, there were always sun beds at the beginning of August. The water is a little cloudy, but generally good. It's a little cool. The territory of the hotel is well maintained and clean. There is a two-storey cafe, the prices are above average. The breakfasts are simple, but normal. Children can also watch cartoons at the summer cinema. There is a disco in the evening. Each house has its own table, there is a swing and a barbecue area on the territory. The room itself is simple, there were flies and the toilet did not work, after contacting the administration all the problems were fixed. They sell delicious ice cream to the left of the hotel! There is parking for cars, but not everyone has enough space. I ask the administration to pay attention to the comments!

A good place to relax. The territory is small, but very cozy and green. Each house has its own cozy gazebo, if the room is in the building, then there is a balcony, a table, chairs, you can sit and admire the lake. There is a cafe on site with a view of the lake, a small playground, a barbecue area, a swing, and a projector for children. There are sun beds, canopies, slides on the shore.

I'll give you 4 points for the slightly weak service in the restaurant and the fact that the music is turned off at 23, there's no one to see, but it's positioned as a family, programs with children, everything is great, but if that's the case with children, then it's impossible to fall asleep, because the music is playing loudly until 23, please reduce it to 22 hours and there will be 5+ stars for local quality.

Disappointed - unsanitary conditions, deception, dirt. Money is wasted We rested in this recreation area for two days, paid 280 thousand, and now we regret it. Of the advantages, only normal breakfasts and lunches can be noted, but they were also accompanied by "surprises": a hair was found in the rice, and a fly was floating in the compote))) Now about the main disadvantage - unsanitary conditions: The bathroom is in terrible condition, old tiles, dirt, hair plaque. The floors, apparently, had not been washed at all, and there was dust and debris under the beds. The impression is compounded by the general feeling of neglect: peeling walls, cobwebs in the corners, dirty corners and spiders on the walls with cobwebs. A separate negative is the dinner, where we were simply deceived: we ordered one thing, brought another, and there were oddities in the bill. The staff behaved disrespectfully, we did not receive a clear explanation, and as a result, we were also left with an overpayment.For 280,000, we expected a minimum of cleanliness and honest treatment. Alas, we got the opposite. We do not advise anyone who values their health, money and nerves. The dishes are dirty, streaked and chipped.

The territory is large and beautiful, and there is a disco in the evening. But the work of the waiters is poorly organized, it takes a very long time to take an order, and the tables are not cleaned after customers. Very poor breakfasts. Another thing that confused me was that the door in the room that opens onto the balcony is glass, and everything is visible from the street through it, they could have balanced it with blinds or curtains, you don't walk in a negligee in the room. There are plenty of sun beds on the beach.

There is a good recreation area, comfortable rooms, TV, shower, air conditioning. Well, I don't think you should take it to include breakfast and lunch. In theory, it's okay to eat once, but then the same thing happens for the next few days (there is no difference). And the food is so good for three.

There was no water. There's a cafe on site and our order was lost, just forgotten! We waited 50 minutes. until we contacted the administrator. There are huge water slides for which you have to pay 3,000 tenge every day, they lead to the pool and the receptionist stood next to it and told me that she would close the slides if we swim in the pool! SHE SAID THEY ROLLED DOWN THE HILL AND CAME OUT! She herself was wearing a very very short skirt and she was often not at her workplace. She walks somewhere, but she is the administrator of only these slides and she has one workplace. There was no water in the whole city.

If we take into account all the recreation areas nearby, it is after Zhemchuzhina and Borkovsky. The territory is small, small houses have been built and there are rooms in a separate building. The sound insulation is at 0, everything is audible, as if you are sleeping in the hallway. There is no service at all) the rooms are small and dark. The air conditioners are working well, it's +! The territory is green. We took a room based on breakfast and lunch . Breakfast and lunch are served in the 2-storey summer house. But the strangest thing is that those who bought breakfast and lunch at the base are not allowed to eat on the 2nd floor. What's the difference? Maybe the waiters are too lazy to carry the plates.. I don't know.... the food is primitive, not tasty. The bed linen is clean, washed, but the towels are smelly. Prices in the area of recreation centers are simply space! There is no embankment. There is no infrastructure at all! Everyone is talking about the development and support of local tourism. We paid 160 thousand tenge for 2 days! But what did we get in the end? Described above. We bought into the laudatory reviews))) In Turkey, we rented an apartment for 50 euros (then the exchange rate was 485 tenge) per day for a 2-room apartment with hotel infrastructure (swimming pool, hammam, cinema room, barbecue area) next to the sea. Would you say that it is not necessary to compare holidays in Turkey and the Kyrgyz Republic? Well, then the prices should be appropriate! When will our employees learn how to provide services according to the set prices? It's just a shame. There is no desire to return to Balkhash at all!

those who write that it's great here don't seem to have anything to compare it with. the conditions are not normal. The bathroom was terrible, and the shower was barely running in the evening. the sink faucet is not connected to hot water at all, the faucet is noisy, the drain tank is very noisy. in the cafe, the dishes are not washed very well, the smell of stale rags discouraged all appetite. the 3-bed room is small, there is nowhere to put things, suitcases on the floor - they were always looking for the right things, it was very inconvenient. The room has one 160-wide bed, the second 90-wide table, bedside table and two chairs. a very noisy air conditioner, a small fridge, a kettle and 3 faceted glasses. access to the beach is across the street. view: the lake, the smoking chimneys of the factory and part of the city. maybe for some it's a vacation, but it's more like survival without basic sanitation.

I had a weekend break here in 2024. The territory is of course clean and green. But the service is still weak, weak. Breakfast is meager: either two boiled chicken eggs or a small cup of porridge, black tea and bread with butter. There is a place where you can roast a barbecue brought with you. The air conditioner, though ancient and rumbling, cooled the air at night tolerably. Electricity was provided only in the morning and in the evening. One of the advantages is walking distance to the lake. The beach is fenced and well equipped. We wish them all the best and hope that their service will improve after all.

It's beautiful, spacious, right on the beach. There is a store, although the prices are resort, the cheapest beer can is 800 tenge. And their kitchen is terrible, they had enough to eat there once, they were in July, now maybe something has changed. That's why I'm putting 4, because of the terrible kitchen.

Well, we spent 2024 in Samala, which is good, there are two good water slides now. I didn't want to write, but I think it's better to speak out .... the dining room just SUCKS, there is no other word, how can you spoil elementary dishes and says that I cook for 160 people and not a single bad review! And otherwise everything is fine if you do not go to the dining room, I wanted to write to the SES and the migration officer to check, but I think that my expectations will be confirmed and this dining room will be closed....

Our first visit to Balkhash. Samal liked the place of rest. But the kitchen is very bad. The povars in the kitchen were filled with negativity. And the mattress on the number we got was old and worn out. It's ugly if the price of a cafe is worth the same expensive price. The dishes are dirty, the tables are dusty.

The recreation center is just a BOTTOM! I rested here for the first and last time! 1. WiFi works only in certain areas of the base (WiFi does not catch in the rooms). 2. The only Activ communication operator does not work stably, the Internet worked no more than 50% of the time spent at the recreation center (5 days) 3. Smokers smoke wherever they want, so if you open the window, it stinks even in the room. 4. There are no rules of accommodation, and therefore many people turn on music in their cars in the parking lot of the recreation center, who is good at what and still too loud. 5. The furniture in the rooms is all dead, the mattresses are old and the springs are sticking out of them. 6. Scoop air conditioners that are mounted directly into the window are too loud (at night they rattle). 7. Industrial refrigerators are small and loud (without a freezer). 8. The water in the washbasin is only cold (to shave, you need to use a hose from the shower, which is very inconvenient). 9. The doors are both external and to the toilet with dead locks. 10. There is a huge slow queue in the cafe in the morning. 11. Neighbors' screams, fights and fights are not uncommon at night.
