Отзыв Аврора 4* Review Aurora 4*

Have been since 23.07. 2010 to 06.08. 2010, i. e. the hottest. We traveled as a family, two adults and a child (3 adults by age). Temperature 35-37. I decided to write a review, because I did not find any reviews for this hotel during the trip. The hotel itself corresponds to its 4 *, the air conditioner really seemed a bit weak, but in the morning I wanted to cover myself. In addition, restaurants, halls, and even stairs and corridors are air-conditioned. In Bulgaria for the first time, and they thought that it would be like in the Crimea, that is, they tuned in for the worst. Before that, they were repeatedly in Turkey and Egypt. The location of the hotel is convenient, close to the beginning of the main street, and to the markets/shops. To the beach, an honest 400 meters, maybe even less, measured in steps. The road to the beach was not difficult. Beach - sand, if you want as in Egypt, umbrella + sun lounger - 5 leva, but you can always lie on a towel, which 70% did. The sea is clean, the entrance is smooth, stones are rare, you need to study at the first entrance.
From the sea received real pleasure, went mostly from 10.00 - 12.00 and from 15.30 to 19.00.
Shops: clothes for clothes, if you want even cheaper, then to Varna by bus for 1.60 leva per person.

Currency exchange, good thing I was warned. It is something! Exchanger, rate-advertising big sign - 1.55 leva per $. I saw how women screamed, but they did not prove anything, apparently, they were given 1.21. That is, for $ 100, not 155 leva, but 121 ??? ! ! ! In general, as I understand it, in Bulgaria to deceive tourists when handing over currency, something of national fun. Scheme:
1) Advertising with overpriced rates, when you enter the inside there is an inscription in microprint that you usually don’t read, 1.21 for example
2) Courses are indicated, but commission is indicated in microfont
3) You come up and ask, "how much will you give for $ 100", she says 149 leva (max.
real exchange rate), so it was with us, we went into the exchanger in three, I put $ 100, counted 149 leva, literally counted in front of my nose, raising the bills high, and put it in the cash acceptor, pulled the handle, the money from my side, ALMOST SHOULD IN THE POCKET NOT COUNTING! But no! Never do this in Bulgaria! ! ! At the last moment, something twitched in my head and counted - 109 leva. How do you focus? ? ? I showed her, she pulled the basket again, and there were 40 leva, they say the sucker himself is not attentive. But 3 people saw that I raked everything out of there.
Okay, let's go, about the exchange and so distracted, in general, be very careful, I was talking about banks, ! ! and never give up! ! the course is sometimes offered when approaching the bank, purchases are higher than the bank sells, it is clear that there will be fraud, according to what scheme - I don’t know, I haven’t tried it.
Hotel food: I'm not afraid to write very good, we went on an all-inclusive basis, meat, chicken, fish, sausage, sausages, etc.

And most importantly, nutrition is closer to me in terms of mentality, something than Egyptian. We were in Egypt in May of this year, there are 5 * and of course the choice of dishes is an order of magnitude larger, but this is 4 *, and 3-4 normal meat dishes are enough for me. In Bulgaria they eat pork! There were all sorts of pork roasts, and cutlets and sausages and cabbage rolls. There were no problems with nutrition. Between lunch and dinner you can take pizza, hot dog, french fries, ice cream at the pool bar, used a few times, but usually enough without it. Alcohol - not diluted (whiskey, rum, vodka, ... ). Wine is poured from tetrapacks, not from barrels, we later bought the same in the store and took it with us, delicious! Coffee machines are standing, coffee, various, hot chocolate, ...Yes, everything is included in the bar from 11:00 to 23:00, at 23:05 - I will give more, at 23:10 - finish. You can only get clean water in a cooler, I remembered how in Egypt we returned late at 1:30 at night and the bar had sandwiches with fish and cheese + tea / coffee / drinks, at least until 7 in the morning ...
Service, cleaning, everything is honest - it is supposed to change the linen - they will change it. I have the impression that the hotel has recently been working on an all-inclusive system, and that's why they are trying.
So, what else to tell, the pool is medium in size, we never went to the sea, according to visitors, the water is too chlorinated. There is an indoor pool. There is a gym, it is even air-conditioned, but it was still hot there, for those who like to swing, I’ll say - there’s not much there, heels of simulators and that’s it. There is table tennis and billiards, we went several times.
But I’ll probably add a fly in the ointment, they have Internet in the lobby, WiFi, I myself am a programmer, but they decided not to take my daughter’s laptop in order to take a break from this. And they saw enough of it there, there were several "downs" who did not part with these toys, it's cool even in a restaurant, moving a mouse with one hand, eating with the other.
So, they call me, and then it turns out that I didn’t take a laptop in vain, in general, it’s a problem, I need to connect remotely and decide ...It costs 2 computers, but if with your own laptop it’s free, but theirs is 4 levs for half an hour . I paid, and I couldn’t even connect for half an hour, there’s no connection, while the lady from the reception cheerfully answers everything works for us, this is something on your side. The rights are paranoid, you won't type the ping command. 30 minutes have passed and without warning you - a splash screen - "we are very glad to see you. " Well ...I went to the neighboring Ritz 5 * and, lo and behold, everything just flies and 2 levs in 30 minutes, I did everything. For this boarding school, of course, it would be worth lowering the score ...

Probably that's all, if you have any questions, write - I will answer.
