The first half of the rest is spent searching for an answer to the question "Can the pluses somehow compensate for the obvious failures of the hotel? " After a little rest and soaking in the philosophical acceptance of the situation, you begin to appreciate what you have, and as a result, it’s even a pity to leave somewhere.

PROS
- Very friendly staff, everyone tries to please and please
- The food is plentiful and you can choose a menu for every taste
- Our room was very large. On the last floor under a mezzanine roof, so almost double
- Cleaned pretty clean and almost every day
- WiFi is available. Let not fast, but it is quite possible to view the mail
- As close to the coast as possible
- The sand is fine, cleaned every day with special seeders

CONS - Basically, all the shortcomings relate to the technical condition of the hotel:
- On the 9th floor during peak hours (17.00-21.00) there was no water at all, let alone warm
- No beach towels provided

- Elevators are very slow and often break down.
Some elevators are simply in a very bad condition (dirty, with trimmed sheathing, a piece of soiled linoleum or dirty carpet may lie on the floor, in one elevator the control panel was torn off)
- No air conditioning, no TV, no mini-fridge in our room
- Low-quality soft drinks (coffee, tea)

Tips if you have already chosen this hotel:
1) Be sure to take a room with a sea view. It's 100% fun
2) Choose a lower floor if you are not ready to walk to the 6th-9th floors. By the way, it is not so difficult if you want to get an exclusive view of the sea. But don't rely too much on elevators. Or be patient.
3) Sign up for dinner at a restaurant in the snack bar area (near the SPA). You can take a break from the hustle and bustle of the evening. The food is tasty.
4) Take beach towels with you. They are not given at all.
5) Keep a few large water bottles in case you run out of taps in the evenings
6) Also - as always - let's tip. No one asks, but the staff is great.

As an alternative, we walked along the coast and looked at what is generally on the first line. Helena Sands attracted attention, beautiful and modern - but it seemed that in the evening it was very stuffy inside because of the hedge. Magestic is really modern and technically perfect, with a large territory. Perhaps, if you go to Sunny Beach, then Magestic would be the next option.

Victoria wouldn't take the risk again. Although this option was somewhere interesting. A mixture of all possible styles in design - Central African, Greek, Egyptian, Empire gilding, wicker furniture, antique couches, Chinese vases, Japanese ekibans. The feeling that I got on a pirate ship, or in a magpie's nest, where the owners bring everything that they found interesting at furniture auctions. And in all this you can walk right in swimming trunks.
In Magestic, I think I would have to wear shorts at least.
