It's not really bad, but ...
two policemen approached the vacationing girls and charged them for drinking alcoholic beverages. Everything seems to be legal and yet there are nuances.
1) When making out the protocol, the brand and strength of alcohol indicated on the label are indicated (It was not observed).
The girls opened a one and a half liter bottle with a dark colored liquid. Without stickers or any signs that it's alcohol. There was no examination, no violation of movement coordination, no unstable poses, and even more so no incoherent speech.
Instead, there was a policeman's statement: "Am I a moron?! I don't know what the wine looks like. I put it myself every year ..."
That is, there was no fact of alcoholic intoxication ...
2) Information about a fine of 1000 rubles for drinking alcoholic beverages is not in full view of vacationers. It's there, of course, but on the changing booth by the last pool. A police officer showed it to me (who refused to give me his name), after asking about the information. So would I (as well as any vacationer) I would hardly have seen this information myself.
Usually, the rules of the visit are posted in a prominent place at the entrance to the territory.
3) The money was put in the pocket of "businessmen in uniform", although this is prohibited by law. Employees could write out a receipt, but they had no right to take money as a bribe.
In short, engage in extortion!
In general, I think that we could limit ourselves to an oral remark, given the situation. It is a pity that the thirst for profit for some employees of internal organs is higher, hospitality and honor of the uniform!
There is absolutely no infrastructure, half-dead palm trees on the territory, swimming pools with rusty railings with fittings and floating moss, come, take a dip for half an hour and go on, there are no normal changing rooms, Wi-Fi is only at the checkpoint (this is for tourists)
We visited this source in December. I really liked it. There are not many people, everything is at our disposal. There is a place to change clothes. 4 pools, though they didn't go on mud. Because there was no sun, it would not have dried up. We went swimming, got drunk on tea🤓beauty
Great place! I was on a promotional tour with colleagues in tourism, I was there 1 time, but even after the first time I felt a positive effect on the whole body.I recommend
Stairs to the pool are not convenient, the pebbles from the steps apparently fell out, it is better not to climb on the sides, you can get burned on concrete, screws in the locker room instead of broken hangers, in general, a place for an amateur, from the highway check-in next to greenhouses
After visiting it, it is now our favorite place in Abkhazia. Inexpensive, pleasant, useful. I recommend everyone to visit this unique place and improve their health.
Kyndyg, a heavenly place.
The highest pleasure.
The waters are miraculous, healing. The place is suitable for those who like a quiet holiday.
Who is not indifferent to everyday life.
There are many pools with different water temperatures. The territory was spacious and there were not many people even in July. There is a mud spring. After the procedures, there is a feeling of lightness. There is a cafe with national cuisine nearby.
We had a rest in May 2023.
We came to the hot springs from Gagra.
The journey takes 2 hours in one direction.
I liked the sources very much. Three pools of different temperatures, we swam in the pool, then anointed ourselves with mud. The weather was amazing.
There was no one at the springs except us. It was bliss.
After that, we ate ice cream at the bar and went home rested.
I advise everyone to visit this place.
There are several sources, but there are two with hydro massage. One by the road (considered newer) and the second in the area of the eucalyptus grove.
Each has four pools with different water temperatures. Natural hydro massage, also with different temperatures and the force of the falling jet. A great massage.
In the thermal springs by the road in the pools of mud, it is very unpleasant to swim.
The second one with a eucalyptus grove is saddened by the presence of dogs.
But the result of hydro massage and warm pools, especially in bad weather, are a delight.
For the first time I visited such sources, the impressions are awesome. I hope that the dirt is really therapeutic, otherwise my husband got completely dirty, then barely washed it off 🤭
It was nice to swim in different pools, with different water temperatures, we were in the last days of March, there were few people, no crush. There are many changing rooms, there is a toilet, you can buy khachapuri with cheese, homemade potatoes, and have a drink. Towels and slippers are also sold. The pass is not expensive. Before entering the territory, the man was selling tangerines, kumquat, wine, chacha. Gentrification is taking place on the territory, the service will be ready for the season
Hot springs. 4 pools with different water temperatures. From very hot, it feels about 50 degrees. Up to a warm temperature, just above body temperature. You need to bring slippers, a bathrobe and towels. We liked it.
Thermal springs with radon water with a temperature of 40-55 degrees. There are 3 swimming pools on the territory, a hydro massage in the form of water falling from a height and a place for spreading mud. The place is not gentrified: a storage room like in ordinary supermarkets (it's scary to leave valuables, no one is watching, you can open it with a screwdriver), the place of descent to the mud is not convenient, you can wash off the dirt only under cold water. In general, there is no civilization! You can go once to check out the flavor. But I won't go a second time for sure!
We liked it as a family. Children too. 4e different pools, according to the size and temperature of the water. We were in the evening after 18h, there were few people. But there was a queue for food in the cafe. They did not wait, they went to eat somewhere else.

Everything is fine
We drove almost every day , we feel a surge of strength and energy
I recommend it to everyone!!!
In general, it is a natural masterpiece. And therapeutic mud and water baths of different temperatures and barrels of cold water and mini waterfalls. In short, come and get healthy.
The pools are dirty, silt, moss and mud are floating with you!
The paths are dirty, there is nothing to clean.
Therapeutic mud is just a pit with mud of questionable content.
Cats and dogs walk around the territory, the sanitation is complete.
I paid for the entrance, changed my clothes in a wooden box with a dirty floor from the Soviet Union, went to the toilet on the territory, and it's paid! Where should I carry the money??
As the USSR left a legacy, so they use it just to earn money…
It's a pity that such a place is in such bad hands.…
A great place for everyone who wants to spend time with health benefits! Here you can smear yourself with healing mud and even wallow in it like a pig. Take a dip in the hot waters of the spring and improve your back health with a hydro massage.
There is no source in this place. They are not reaching this place (there are signs). But they say there are always a lot of people on the first sign. And the next one is not so refined, but there are few people. Several pools with very warm water. There is a bit of floating greenery in the pools. It was tolerable for us.
5 pools with different temperatures. I couldn't get into the hottest one, but some (probably on a bet) come in. Several sunbeds for hydro massage from the pipe. Clear. The entrance is 300₽ on Feb 24.

I recommend it, there is a large parking lot, a lot of changing rooms, large swimming pools, the walls of the pools are slightly overgrown with moss, but this gives exoticism and immersion in nature. There is therapeutic mud, a massage shower On site, you can eat, the assortment is not large, but everything is quite edible. Delicious mead. Be sure to take sneakers for the sea or pool. The bottom of the pools is covered with pebbles, so it's better to walk in shoes.
Two stars is a lot.Absolutely not for people, you will not get better there, but you will definitely get infected with something. Unkempt, my foot came across a piece of some kind of iron in the water. I do not recommend it.
it may be equipped for people here, but the cleanliness of the water and the cleanliness of the pools is a concern. all the walls in the pools are overgrown with green silt, apparently the pool is not cleaned at all. yes, and there is no information about checking the water, and where it comes from, seeing how a piece of green mud hangs from the pipe from which water flows into the pool. Horror, we were afraid. It's not pleasant

There are more civilizations, there are more people. The tour is being delivered. by buses. We went to a new source, everything is exactly the opposite, but the effect is the same. Only 2 km further towards Gala.
Most of all, I liked the Kyndyk-2 source, the atmosphere, politeness and straightforwardness of people, they do not chase after a coin and do not try to snatch at the slightest provocation
A wonderful natural oasis, but there is trouble with food, some pies and not at all hospitable staff, in the evening everyone is frankly kicked out half an hour before closing time.
