Unfortunately, I can't find photos of the room. I lived on the second floor, overlooking the entrance and the pool. This location allowed you to use the Internet without leaving the room))) They were very surprised at the reception))) I liked the room, excellent beds and pillows. The bathroom is very clean and well equipped - large, the shower is separated from the common room by a curtain, a large mirror and sink, there is a hair dryer.

The bathroom is very clean and well equipped - large, the shower is separated from the common room by a curtain, a large mirror and sink, there is a hair dryer. The room has a safe (in the closet). You need to pay for the key - 50 levs for 2 weeks. There is a TV, a refrigerator also for extra. fee. (I didn’t use it, I don’t know. ) Traditionally, I took only breakfast. Maybe the end of the season influenced, but something not very much. . . If the first week there was still some variety, then the second - a very meager offer. The maids are very good. The beaches were not to my liking. The only decent place is Rubina Beach and the Grand Hotel Varna (the rightmost one, if you look at the sea) There is also a large beach on the left side, but it is very far to walk from Koral. The rest are very small, dirty, solid stones at the entrance to the sea. I didn’t like local cafes (expensive and not very tasty), so I can’t recommend anything. There are practically no pastries, there are few grocery stores, the assortment is small. There are few fruit stalls, atomic prices. If you want to buy food on your own, you need to go to the Varna highway. There, near the stop to Varna, there is a quite decent shop with very pleasant prices. A typical mini-supermarket - from vegetables and fruits to frozen chicken and meat.

The hotel itself is not bad, the food is excellent. It is located in a park area. Not bad rooms. Swimming pool, bike rental, gym. Not very far from the sea. We took all incl. But - on the very first day we were settled in a room that answered 1 or maximum 2 stars (although I immediately offered money at the reception) - this ruined our mood for a long time !! ! Well, you can’t place people in a SHED - after all, we don’t rest so often and hope for a normal rest! The staff at the reception didn’t even apologize for the settlement, and to be honest, they didn’t treat us very friendly, apparently everyone understood, and they heard me talking on the phone and explaining the situation (I called their old rooms SHIB) - only they somehow anyway, (in Turkey I had the same situation.

So the staff apologized, gave a bottle of wine, made a safe for free, in general, they tried to somehow make amends, And then.......!!!
To be honest, it is the staff at the reception that is simply unfriendly. I work in this area - in our hotels-restaurants, they are simply fined for being unfriendly!
I still recommend this hotel to people if they are willing to risk their first days of rest, as not only we were put in old, terrible rooms, and then moved. Other vacationers, by the way, from European countries, also !!!
The resort itself is not bad, very quiet, the sea is quiet in different ways, sometimes it is stormy, even snorkeling is quite exciting, entry into the sea is inconvenient. Stones, sharp rocks, there are few places with a convenient entry.
But this is still a village for the elderly and a family with children.
For young people, you can take a bus to Golden Sands. Food is inexpensive and tasty everywhere.
A separate issue is the flight - during the season, the airport in Varna cannot cope with such a huge flow of flights (it is the size of the Central Kyiv Bus Station). There is a 5-hour wait - there are huge queues back both for baggage check-in and for registration and customs - it's just a madhouse.
There is only one result - I am not particularly pleased with this vacation, and of course I will never go to this hotel, although the resort itself has wonderful air (a sort of mixture of sea and forest-coniferous forests).

We rested in Bulgaria with my 15-year-old son for the first time. We chose Bulgaria for two reasons: 1 - affordable price in high season, 2 - shopping. Let's start with the resort itself. The place is very beautiful, really a park area, pines, trees, flowering shrubs, well-groomed territory. Vacationers are mostly couples, many children, by the way, there are many children's sanatoriums.

We rested in Bulgaria with my 15-year-old son for the first time. We chose Bulgaria for two reasons: 1 - affordable price in high season, 2 - shopping. Let's start with the resort itself. The place is very beautiful, really a park area, pines, trees, flowering shrubs, well-groomed territory. Vacationers are mostly couples, many children, by the way, there are many children's sanatoriums. Vacationers - Russians, Germans, Romanians, in general, I did not have the feeling that this was a foreign country, all around were Russian speakers. Hotel. I don’t know what coastline it is, but it’s 500 meters to the beach, it’s not hard to walk, but it’s better to live on the very shore and dine overlooking the sea. The hotel corresponds to 3, but no more. The rooms are renovated, there is everything you need, but a refrigerator, a safe, an iron - for a fee. Garbage is thrown out every day, the floors in the shower were not washed even once, the linen was changed the day before departure, the towels went and asked me to change it myself. The carpet was laid, the damp smell was unpleasant, our windows overlooked the park on the shady side, everything dried badly. By the way, it is better to take a room not on the 1st floor. The staff is friendly, it is not clear how well they know Russian, but when necessary, they pretend that they do not know. Free internet in the lobby. The food is not bad. But tea is not allowed for dinner, only for money. It is better to take a boiler. The cooler is also closed. The beaches are sandy, seaweed near the shore. The hotel does not have its own beach, so you have to look for where it is convenient, the sunbeds are paid for 5 levs, the sunbeds by the pool are also paid for 5 levs, I generally encountered this for the first time. In a cafe, eating is not very cheap, as some write, and the portions are modest. The hotel guide offers excursions, the price is too high, on the shopping alley you can buy more interesting and cheaper by an order of magnitude. In general, the Bulgarians make money on everything. Shopping: we were in Varna, it’s certainly cheaper there, but not enough to go there for things, the same sheepskin coats cost 20-30 thousand, maybe people know other places and buy everything cheap, I didn’t find this. What is cheap is fruits on the market, peaches, nectarines for 20 rubles or less, very sweet oranges and tomatoes, we don’t have them anywhere else. Cheap holidays are obtained for the Germans, there are a lot of them, 1 lev is 2 times cheaper than the euro, for people who have a salary of up to 20 thousand, this is noticeable. Yes, there are no activities for children in the hotel, so my child was very bored. In general, we had a good rest, but we will not go to this hotel again.

First time vacationing in Bulgaria. I really liked the hotel - comfortable, quiet, the rooms are clean (cleaning every day). The staff is welcoming and friendly. Almost everyone speaks Russian. The cuisine is good, but at the beginning of the week it was not very diverse. Delicious "homemade" wine at the bar.

Special thanks to the bartenders Iva and Valentin, as well as the administrator Mira for a wonderful stay. The sea is not far away. Mineral water pool is about 10 minutes walk.

We rested in June 2013. Husband, me and my son 4 years old. To the sea 10-15 minutes with a child. Free zones - only with your own towels and umbrellas. In paid areas sun loungers and umbrellas for 5 lev. To eat in a cafe for our family came out 25-30 lev. The town is quiet, calm, very pleasant. Very green.

We rested in June 2013. Husband, me and my son 4 years old.

To eat in a cafe for our family came out 25-30 lev.
The town is quiet, calm, very pleasant. Very green. No parties or loud music.
The hotel is exactly 3 *. Breakfast is decent, varied enough, but every day the same. Buffet.
We got a good room, only the bed was not washed properly. Towels were changed every 3-4 days.
The refrigerator worked. In the shower there is a hole in the floor, without a limiter, so the floor in the bathroom is always wet in the evening.
In the lobby, ping pong, billiards, hockey - 3 leva per game. All the toys in the children's room are broken. We were before the high season and there was no animation at all. The pool is normal, with a paddling pool, although a bit cold. 25 degrees somewhere. But the sea in June was +20.
I recommend the hotel for a budget, quiet, family vacation.

Rested with my husband at the end of September. Good hotel, but four stars, in my opinion, does not pull. Solid "three".

Traveling in Europe, not counting Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, etc. , We did not expect to get a first-class vacation in this country, and even in 3 *! By the way, she was cool! ) You can’t hear the NOISE OF PASSING CARS TOO. THE BED IS CHANGED ONCE EVERY 5 DAYS. TOWELS IF YOU THROW ON THE FLOOR EVERY DAY.

TOWELS IF YOU THROW ON THE FLOOR EVERY DAY. for 12 days, the days at dinner were almost never repeated. We dined in all the cafes on the way to the sea. The coolest mini restaurant Flamingo. On the second floor everything is in white and also symbols for sports fans. 120 hryvnia. Just a snack 50-60 hryvnia. Every day we went to the thermal springs closest for children's attractions. We rejuvenated ourselves. What we wish you!

We rested with 2 families with friends, children, schoolchildren and students. The hotel is clean, comfortable, no frills. It is really 500m to the sea, but walking through the park is not at all strained. They rent bicycles. The food is normal, for a 3 * it's stupid to demand more. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants around for every taste and budget.

The contingent is Germans, Finns, Czechs, Russians.

Were in 2006, the hotel is decent, clean, room for 4ku, overlooking the pool, but it was not noisy. The food is a buffet, just enough. There was not much animation, so I recommend the hotel for a relaxing holiday. To the sea about 500 meters, walking did not tire. In general - I liked everything, I would gladly go there again.

I did not like the Julio Curie hotel - German pensioners rest there and there are a lot of them. We went there to a cafe on the roof. The cakes and pastries there are very tasty. You can go to this resort - if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and just relax.
