Opinions of people who rested in Otradnoe are different. Those who traveled here in search of adventure and counted on mass entertainment events, remain disappointed. Life in the village, especially at night, is quiet and peaceful.

Otradnoe is a place for those who come to the Crimea to enjoy its magnificent nature, breathe the salubrious sea air, swim and sunbathe, and as a leisure time visit the local attractions.

Among the shortcomings of the village, people who came here called the following:

• lack of infrastructure;
• very few shops and restaurants, poor product range;
• boring - nowhere to go in the evening;
• steep ascent and descent to the sea;
• terms of construction;
• hotels are very close to each other.

People who are less demanding of conditions treat this loyally: daily reusable descent and ascent through terraces are perceived as free fitness, and the absence of various shops and kiosks is only a relief - children will not endlessly ask for sweets and knickknacks. Many of the visitors prefer to cook themselves, rather than eat in catering.

An unequivocal reaction is caused by the presence of a number of Yalta treatment facilities, but the smell does not always spoil the air for tourists, and with it the mood. Many do not even realize their presence.

The main advantages of rest in Otradnoe:

• the absence of many people on the beaches, compared with Yalta itself;
• large selection of housing and affordable prices;
• lack of dilapidated old houses;
• products that do not differ in price from other regions of the country;
• the hospitality of the locals and the courtesy of the owners;
• cozy green courtyards and recreation areas;
• beautiful nature and clear sea.
