There are three of us - me, my child 1.8 and a friend.
Settlement. We prepared to wait until 14-00, but we were given the keys right away, at first we were delighted, but then we understood why - this villa, apparently, was not useful to anyone, so it was always free. It was a 120 villa - at the very top, on the 2nd floor without an entrance with a stroller, with leaks in the bathroom, with a small balcony and a non-working TV, overlooking the neighboring villas, where the staff very often "smoke". We went to the reception: "everything is busy with us, come tomorrow. " Tomorrow came and we went straight to the reception - the shift is different, no one knows anything, we had to re-explain why we need to change the room. As a result: we were recorded! in a special magazine, which indicated that tomorrow we were moving from such and such a number to such and such. Tip: if they promise you, but they don’t mark it anywhere - insist, don’t believe the promises, make sure you are recorded. Well, they moved us to a luxurious villa 281 - a convenient entrance with a stroller, a sea view, a huge balcony (very important), close to a restaurant and a water park, the only negative (for someone) is opposite the beach bar, which was noisy.
Number. Bed, large TV and 2 chair beds. Vidocq a little shabby, but not critical. I was most embarrassed by the bathroom - it (like in all villas) has a window to the street, and this window went straight to the path along which vacationers went to their villas - you feel like a participant in a reality show. Towels were changed daily, but they are so washed out and not snow-white at all. Bed linen - not silk, and even in spools. Cleaning is daily, but somehow without a soul - glasses, cups and all other utensils could stand for 2-3 days.

Territory. Well, everything is in perfect order here - there is where to walk, take a walk, everything is clean, tidy, the paths are clean, the bushes are well-groomed. There are shops: grocery, souvenir, beach and bathing. There is a spa. Well, the most pleasant surprise - WI-FI throughout the territory and for free! So they saved on calls to their homeland by talking on Skype (they took a netbook with them).
Restaurant. For moms with strollers: you can get to the restaurant only by stairs - either down from the reception, or up from the fantan, so get ready to pump your muscles or smile at passing men))). Breakfast is quite monotonous - eggs, beans, sausages, fried ham and bacon, vegetables, sausage, cheese, well, there is a queue at rush hour for coffee and pancakes. Tea glasses also tend to run out quickly. Lunch and dinner are not very different from each other, there are always soups, pasta, french fries, steamed vegetables, grilled convenience foods, chicken, meat and cutlets. I read the previous reviews, but for me - the food is quite normal, but what is not salty - salt in your plate, although the salt does not want to part with the salt shaker. The children's table is represented by yogurts and other dishes, but my child did not eat it (she did not give it herself), so it is difficult to evaluate. Fruit watermelons, cherries - this is what there is always a queue for. Apricots, nectarines, kiwis, oranges and apples are freely available, although the former run out very quickly. Places in the restaurant were always found, sometimes you had to wait for napkins and cutlery. We didn’t get into a la carte - there was always a crazy queue to sign up for restaurants.
Bar. Very meager, there is little choice of alcohol (I don’t drink, so I didn’t get upset), drinks - cola, sprite and yupi, no juices! In the evenings I poured milk for myself - during the entire stay I did not find a single well-washed cup - all with a characteristic brown coating. On the territory there is a paid beach bar, there, I think, there is an assortment.
Beach. Big, there are a lot of sunbeds, but we, nevertheless, sometimes occupied, no one took our towels, although I saw people looking for their towels. There is a small paid beach with soft mattresses on sun loungers and "terraces". The cost, if my memory serves me right, is 25 lev. There is a banana, catamarans, a parachute. Don't forget to bring your beach towels! The sea - the bottom is visible, but sometimes "green" along the coast.

Animation. There are both children and adults, but we are our own animation, so no details.
Transport. Electric cars run around the area. You can leave Elenite by taxi or by bus - Sunny Beach 3l. , Nessebar 4l. The bus runs every 20-40 minutes.
The euro exchange rate does not change 1.92-1.95 for 1 euro, the dollar exchange rate changes, approximately 1.54 liters. = 1$ The euro exchange rate in Elenite is 1.80, at the airport 1.60, so exchange money in Sunny Beach or Nessebar.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest. Will I go to Elenite again? It may very well be. . .
