It is amazingly beautiful on the shores of Issy-Kul. The Natalie Resort holiday home is located on the east coast. I want to note right away that this is a family recreation area. The territory is closed, an animator works. The first day the children ran around, but literally on the second day we saw them at lunch and in the evening. You rest your body and soul.
You can rent an inexpensive room in a hotel complex, as I was told by vacationers they are quite comfortable. Or a cottage for 4 vacationers and for a large family or company. The cottage has comfortable fresh linen, a toilet, a shower and a kitchen. There is a TV.
A large beach with two piers and access to a huge wild beach where there is also not a small number of vacationers, but the place is more than enough.
Of the minuses, I would like to note that the road is disgusting, it's a pity to have a car or you can drag yourself like a turtle.
Secondly, there are two catering points on the territory, a restaurant and a cafe. The food in the cafe is more or less tolerable, but the service is if you have self-control and are not in a hurry, plus the cheerful insects accompanying the vacationers. Everything in the restaurant is pretentious, but the cooking is so-so and you have to wait no less.
Only the kitchen saves, provided that you have stocked up on food, since the refrigerator is also present in the cottage
We were in August, we lived in a Yucca house. As already mentioned here, the road to the hotel is very difficult to drive. The territory is really very green, there are a lot of roses - everything is blooming. Willows, budleys, various conifers, mountain ash, flowering geraniums and much more. The gardener gets a five plus! Good beaches - both your own in the hotel, and wild side by side. The view of the lake and the mountains is wonderful! But I expected more from the house itself for such a price. It feels like when it was built, for the first few years it was just candy. But now the house is tired: plumbing is falling off, there is black mold in the shower in the corners, stains on the sofa, the floor on the second floor is all bent, it's even a little scary that it will suddenly fail, a large stove with 4 burners does NOT work in the kitchen, instead they give an electric portable with 1 burner - and actually it was planned to fully cook for the whole company. But the most unpleasant thing is the smell in the house (especially on the second floor): either sewage or burnt plastic. It does not wear out, and this spoils the impression very much. As already mentioned here, wi-fi is only available at the reception, there is no Wi-fi in the houses. For some reason, there was no water in the pool on the territory. But otherwise everything is not bad: the beds are comfortable, there is a lot of space, the house is spacious, there is a portable clothes dryer, two bathrooms, lots of towels, a good TV, it's very close to the lake. Thanks to the greenery, it is not hot on the territory.
Oh yes, I've been waiting for this moment to leave a review! It was the first time we were in this holiday home. We arrived for 10 days in our car with 2 children (11 years and 4 months). We drove from Almaty through Kegen (who will go on Google - from the police station to the RIGHT! Don't repeat our mistakes, Google is lying!). So, another personal recommendation! Before turning off the main highway, buy everything you need at this bazaar (Kyzyl Suu), vks, vegetables, fruits, meat, silence, all this will be useful to you, I will write below why. After leaving the highway, a good road follows the sign for a while, and then... A full shizdets of 30-40 minutes 20 km/h as on a vegetable grater. Guided by the signs, you will be in place with a good ass massage and a brain shake. And now about the good things! The gates of Natali Resort are opening.. Oh, a miracle! Oasis, thousands of roses, greenery, Christmas trees, birds, cats. The territory is 5+, really very beautiful, clean, well maintained. After walking down 100 meters, give up on the beach, the beach is 5+ clean sand, pier, willows, sun loungers. No garbage, everything is cleaned as needed. We lived in a house called Yewtree (2 floors, 1st is a living room and kitchen with toilet, 2nd is a bedroom for 3 people). The house as a whole was pleased, everything is good, except plumbing, lack of hot water, etc
A leaky cabin spoils the impression. The beds are simple, wooden, and the floor on the second floor creaks terribly. There is no conder, but in general it is not needed. Thank you so much for the kitchen, where you can cook everything you bought at the bazaar (Kyzyl Suu). There were moments when the electricity was turned off for several hours, but in general it was not terrible. And now about the sad thing! Take care of your bellies, their disorder is guaranteed if you intend to eat at a local cafe (because you actually have no choice).
Food:
From what we ate, you can eat: pilaf, manti, lagman, roaster, fish, porridge, scrambled eggs, salads.
Of the things that are not very good : shawarma with chicken , okroshka (after it it was a lot of fun), dumplings (raw).
Serving of dishes from 20 to 50 minutes.
For the most part, we cooked breakfast at home, and it was economical and delicious.
The shops:
There is 1 store with horse prices on the territory, but there is a stall outside the territory " friends " will bring everything you need for a good price. The choice is also good.
Holy shit! The Internet is only in cafes and on the beach, they say there is still in the hotel, but there is no Internet in the houses! Don't take the "Oh shit" does not catch, only Beeline!
In general, everything is fine, I recommend going if you take into account everything that I described above.
Well-maintained spacious, clean rooms, clean linens, a lot of beautiful vegetation, but it is very diverse and does not stand out
Bad connection, you can put repeaters. Bad plumbing
Everything is fine, the staff is friendly, good service. A pleasant beach. nice rooms. It is not far to the beach from the hotel or houses. Well-groomed territory, lots of greenery.
We were in June of the 18th.
We lived in a hotel building.
I really liked it! There were few guests, clean, cozy, all in flowers.
It's a little inconvenient to get there, the navigator was weird, but then everything "paid off"!
Thank you!
