The opinions of people who rested in Otradnoye are different. Those who traveled here in search of adventure and counted on massive entertainment events remain disappointed. Life in the village, especially at night, is quiet and calm.

Otradnoye is a place for those who come to Crimea to enjoy its magnificent nature, breathe in the healing sea air, swim and sunbathe, and as a leisure visit sightseeing tours of local attractions.

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

• lack of infrastructure;
• very few shops and restaurants, a meager assortment of products;
• boring - nowhere to go in the evening;
• steep rise and descent to the sea;
• around the construction site;
• Hotels are very close to each other.

People who are less demanding of conditions treat this loyally: they perceive daily daily descent and climbing the terraces as free fitness, and the absence of all kinds of benches and stalls causes only relief - children will not endlessly ask for sweets and trinkets. Many of the visitors prefer to cook themselves, and not eat in catering.

An unambiguous reaction is caused by the presence of a number of Yalta sewage treatment plants, but the smell does not always spoil the air for tourists, and with it the mood. Many do not even know about their presence.

The main advantages of a vacation in Otradnoye:

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