We rested in Albena in July 2009. We chose a tour (operator Solveks) according to the Fortunat 3 * UAll system in Albena. On the eve of departure, the travel agency did not name the hotel in which we would rest, we learned the name of the hotel only at the airport when we arrived in Varna. It turned out to be the Compass 3 * hotel.
The hotel is not very big, for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The contingent of vacationers - mostly families with children (Germans, Bulgarians, Romanians), there are very few Russians. In the evening, the hotel is quiet and peaceful, but in the morning from 7 o'clock slamming of doors, children's screams begin. (Very good audibility in the rooms).
The rooms are renovated, the furniture is new, double-glazed windows, air conditioning, TV, clothes dryer on the balcony. Cleaning daily. Change of linen every 4-5 days (if the maid does not forget, but you can remind her : )) ). The rooms are small in size. Beds - one double, one single. A family of 4 will be cramped.
The hotel area is small. Playground. Two pools. One is deep (about 2 meters), the other is for children with a structure in the form of a ship with a small slide, 0.45 m deep. There are not very many people around the pool, there were always free sunbeds. Pool bar with drinks and snacks.
Animation is weak. (Barely noticeable). In other hotels somehow more fun.
The beach is about 10 minutes from the hotel, but you have to go down the stairs (on this nearest beach, sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, the cost per day for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella is about 450 Russian rubles). You can buy a folding umbrella and lie under your umbrella.
But, if you take a free bus (go there for 20-25 minutes), which runs every 30 minutes back and forth according to the schedule from the hotel opposite (from Magnolia) (travel time 5 minutes), then you arrive at the beach opposite the Havana bar, there sunbeds and umbrellas for vacationers in hotels on the UAll system for free.
For hotels on the UAll system in the Havana bar, drinks and snacks are free of charge. And if you don’t want to return to the hotel for lunch, you can have a bite to eat there. True, the dinner is modest. The assortment of the bar includes pizza, french fries, sausages, sausages, vegetables, ice cream.
The food in the hotel is more modest than in other hotels of the same category. I compare it with the food at the Magnolia Hotel (were there 2 years ago), as well as with the food at the Ralitsa Hotel. (We went there for dinner, and so the food there is an order of magnitude higher than in Compass).
Maybe the cook in Compass is unsuccessful, or maybe it's just a matter of price. Formally, everything is seasoned, 3 types of meat dishes, fish, vegetables, fruits, but there is no variety in cooking and some zest in the dishes. Often meals that were for lunch are served for dinner. From fruits, watermelon must be their melon (very tasty), apples of a terrible brown color, apeaches and nectarines (sometimes they were rotten).
In the evening you can walk along the main street of the resort. The child really likes to look at toys, souvenirs, jewelry. There are rides.
We are resting in Albena not for the first time. I really like the sea, the beach, the climate here. The coast is gentle, not deep. You can play ball and still not hurt anyone. Satisfied with the attitude of the staff, and the resort as a whole.
If there is an opportunity not to save, then take a more expensive hotel, because. Compass and Panorama (located nearby and similar to Compass) are the simplest hotels in this category. Pleases in these hotels value for money.
This year, for the first time, we used the services of the Solvex company (in St. Petersburg), before using the services of the Neva. Didn't notice any difference in service. Only plane tickets in the Neva are brought to the airport before departure, and in Solvex on the eve of departure in the evening after 17 hours you have to go to Nevsky for them.
I recommend Albena for families with children or for a relaxing holiday. Young people will be bored here.
