Подробный отчёт о Виллах Елените Detailed report about Villas Elenite

After reading in most cases positive reviews about elenite villas, we decided to relax there, consisting of me, my two children of 4 and 8 years old and our grandmother in the wings. We bought a ticket for 4 weeks, from June 4 to July 2, we bought it at the beginning of April, 145 thousand came out for everyone. Bulgaria met us very friendly when we got on the ladder from the plane, moist brackish air hit our noses, from which the people were directly stunned and here it was already clear that yes, we are here in Bulgaria, and everything will be fine! Passport control and baggage claim were delayed, it seemed that this line for control would never end, then I had to run to look for the host. But we did not bother with this, so as not to immediately spoil our mood. The transfer from Burgas Airport to Elenite took exactly an hour, we took all the tourists to their hotels with big names, but in appearance - private hotels near Anapa. Resort Elenite is the last point. Despite the fact that it was about 11 am, we were immediately given the keys to villa No. 111, although check-in is generally from 2 pm. The villa was very close to the reception, and therefore from the main restaurant, that's where all the pluses ended. Upon entering the villa, I was stunned by the terrible smell of mold and dampness! I thought that there would be a bunk bed for the children, but there were two unfolded chair beds for them. In other villas, there were exactly bunk beds, why we were so unlucky or, on the contrary, lucky, I don’t know, but that’s not the point. The villa was terribly damp, a strong smell of mold came from these chairs, they were old and terribly dirty, almost black. In addition to them, the room had two beds, a table, a mini-fridge under it, a TV, a chair, a coffee table, a telephone, climate control on the wall, an entrance hall and wardrobes in the corridor, heavy dusty curtains on the large windows, posters on the walls, shriveled from humidity. In general, the room shocked me with its wretchedness, everything looked decent in the photographs, but in reality it was terrible! Maybe in this room and could live a week or two, but we ehely almost a month. There were no complaints about the bathroom, everything worked, hot water is constant, you can drink cold water from the tap. There was no hair dryer in the room, I took it at the reception on bail 30 leva, but it is expensive, not at all powerful, it is not possible to do styling with it, the only way is to dry your hair a little. I will return to these ill-fated chairs, I will say that my daughter slept with me on the bed, because I was simply afraid to put her to sleep on this "royal bed", my son slept with his feet to the back of the chair, that is, in the opposite direction. Due to the high humidity, all things in the room were somehow damp, it was unpleasant to wear them. The room is cleaned every day, towels are changed daily, but the dust is not wiped off, the bath and toilet bowl were not washed once in a month, although they regularly gave a tip of 2 leva. Having put all the little things in their places, we went to have lunch, the main Nesseber restaurant is located here, at the reception, only one floor below. Moms with strollers have to pull their strollers up and down the stairs a hundred times a day, otherwise you won’t get into the restaurant. The food is very good, tasty, varied, always chicken, pork, fish, French fries, pasta, stewed vegetables, vegetable salads, a lot of desserts, pastries, fruits from apples, oranges, kiwi, for watermelons and cherries, turn up all over family, otherwise they won’t give it to the child who is waiting for you at the table. In general, the main restaurant is the biggest "attraction" and you can write a lot about it. The biggest problem of the restaurant is that they can't cope with such a large flow of people. It is difficult to find a free table, the tablecloths are dirty, as the waiters only sweep the crumbs from the table, and where can you put dirty stains? However, you can ask them to change the tablecloth. Well, we found a free table, with a slightly dirty tablecloth, I leave the children there and run for the dishes. to feed the family with a complex lunch, you have to run back and forth ten times. There is a queue for soup, the soup does not look like homemade, it is something like thin mashed potatoes with peas, the children ate it badly. Then I run after everything else. No matter how many people there are, the food in the stalls never ends, there are a lot of. From drinks: wine is white, red, but it's not real wine or diluted or whatever. . . , beer, water like UPI, all sorts of Coca-Cola, Fanta, Mirinda. There is no children's menu, on the "children's table" there is yogurt (delicious), compote, but this is such a compote that fruit syrup is heavily diluted with water to a slightly sweet taste. If you don’t have this compote, then you don’t know what to give your child to drink after dinner. in general, despite all the variety of the menu, it is difficult to feed the children there, since I repeat, there was no children's menu. Our children are still accustomed to other soups, cereals, mashed potatoes, they don’t have this, pasta comes with such a sauce that children don’t like it. For breakfast, I took them either an omelet or cereal, all kinds of chocolate balls, but finding deep bowls for these cereals is an insoluble problem. First you look for bowls, then you stand in line for hot milk (and hot milk is cold milk diluted with hot water, it turns out a little white color and the corresponding taste), then in line for pancakes or croissants, for boiling water, to make tea, in general, while you feed your family, you get tired. The restaurant is constantly bustling, running around, noise, people scurry past with plates, children howl. In short, fun! Well, eat, now let's go to the beach. The beach is large, fine sand, the descent into the sea is normal, only stones go near the shore, then sand; sun loungers, umbrellas. If you do not take the sun loungers at 7 am, you will not get a seat. They will all be occupied by other people's towels. In general, the beach is full of empty sunbeds with towels, and you have nowhere to lie down. Looks like someone complained about this state of affairs and the rescuers went and collected these towels, then people came and made scandals. Then no one collected towels, but signs were installed everywhere, “a zone free from reservation”, that is, so that sunbeds would not be occupied in advance with towels, but people can’t read, people don’t care who writes what there. After dinner, there are no problems with sunbeds, a lot of free ones. So mzhe on the territory there is a water park. Cool! both children and adults! entrance is free, but for a sunbed and an umbrella you have to pay 5 lev. Many do not pay, do not take sunbeds, there is such a small podium made of stones, many sit there. So that you would not be bored lying down and sunbathing, there is a group of animators. They start working at 10 o'clock. Fitness, pilates, salsa lessons are held on the territory of the beach bar. After lunch, beach volleyball, football, water polo, darts. There is also a windsurfing school, catamarans, jet skis, bananas. Tennis, billiards (free of charge), tennis, mini golf, bowling (for a fee). Almost daily at 20 o'clock there is a children's disco in the Broadway animation hall, the disco is good, the animator girls are great and try hard. After that there is a game of Bingo (participation 20 lev) and then an entertainment program. Unpretentious, but you can see. Here in the Broadway Hall there is a bar, all with the same set of drinks as in the restaurant, plus local alcohol. One minus - it is terribly stuffy, there is no ventilation, and there are very few places, that is, you need to take places in advance. On Fridays, a children's carnival is held, participation is 5 euros, children are dressed in carnival costumes, face painting, and small gifts are given. Pirate battles are also held, two teams fight, pay 20 lev for participation. There is also a so-called Aladdin Kindergarten on the territory. . He works from 10-12 and from 15-17. Small, uncomfortable and very stuffy room. Girls animators do not have enough experience to work with children, because it is not easy to cope with a crowd of kids of different ages and different languages. If they played collective games with children, these games were completely incomprehensible to our Russian children. The best thing you can do there is to take some puzzle or mosaic from the shelf and play with your child yourself. The largest is not to be counted. Next to this garden there is a children's playground: swings and slides, but surprisingly, even in the heat, when there is no rain for a week, it is very dirty and there are puddles, you can’t go up to the swing, you can’t slide down the hill. Near the Royal Park Hotel, under the amphitheater, there is another children's club, it's very nice, a spacious bright room, bikes, etc. But this club is for Dutch children, it says so: For Dutch children, but Russian children use the club Aladdin. This, in my opinion, is politically incorrect and even somehow humiliating. The resort has several swimming pools, a couple of children's pools, the water height of which is not more than 60 cm. Near each pool there is a bar where you can take non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks, as well as tea, coffee, hot chocolate. They make delicious hamburgers near the Royal Park, but there is a queue behind them, first you have to stand in line for hamburgers, then for drinks. Not far from the surf school, on the beach, a bar with dog walking. A hole is made in the bun, a cheap, tasteless sausage is put there and poured with plenty of ketchup, there is also a line for them. Under the main restaurant of Nesseber there is a confectionery where you can get tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, waffles, again wine-beer-cocktails and 12 varieties of ice cream in favelas. Naturally "all inclusive". They also play billiards. There are 3 a la carte restaurants on site. Enrollment in them takes place daily from 9 am next to the reception, but the line builds up from 8 am. We were only in two: Taliana and Sozopol, there is also the Mediterranean, but we didn’t like the first two so much that we didn’t go to the third. A very small selection of dishes, the same as in the main restaurant, but the choice is five times smaller, very boring, no music, you sit, chew and get bored. There is a medical center not far from the reception, if something happens, someone gets sick, you need to call the insurance company and if they work with this medical center, they will accept you for free, and if not, then a doctor's appointment costs 35 euros. , there are no pharmacies, but if a doctor sees you, he will prescribe medicines for you and you can buy these medicines right there in the medical center. There is free internet access throughout the territory, there is also a small internet club, 30 minutes - 4 levs, 1 hour - 6 levs, there is a Russian keyboard, you just need to ask. There is also a small shopping center, as well as a couple of tents where you can buy everything you need, as well as baby food and diapers. Things are very cheap there, I bought a lot for both children and myself, the average price for a topic is 25 lev (about 500 rubles), for a children's T-shirt 10 lev (200 rubles), I bought my daughter a nice little tracksuit for 28 lev, well, a lot of things , I write just to represent the order of prices. You can exchange money at the reception, but the rate is unfavorable 1 euro - 1.8 lev, in Nesseber they change 1.94 You can get to Nesseber by bus for 3 or 4 leva, it takes about an hour, it's packed with people, or you can take a taxi for 40 lev Very beautiful old town! A few words about the territory of the resort itself: very beautiful, a lot of greenery, everything is fragrant, the aroma of the air is enchanting! That's it. Maybe the story turned out not very optimistic, but as it was, I am writing. Next year I will definitely go to Bulgaria again. It's a very beautiful country! Some Balkan mountains are worth something, but, of course, it will not be Elenite.
