Rested with a friend in the village of Kranevo (Bulgaria) in the hotel "Rila 2 *". Immediately make a reservation, we are 28 years old. A terrible and stuffy hall in which young people constantly hang out: they play billiards, drink at the bar or lie on sofas and armchairs in front of the TV.
First three nights WITH CLOSED BALCONY!! ! listened to the "magnificent" disco "Amazon", which is located on the main street, but it is perfectly audible everywhere. Our windows overlooked the restaurant courtyard. And along the corridor all night long young girls roam on their heels on the tiled floor with wild screams.
Three days later, a friend could not stand it and threw a scandal at the reception. We were moved to a slightly better room, in the other wing and at the end of the corridor. In gratitude to the girl administrator, we gave 10 euros. It became quieter, but opposite the windows was the hotel "Crystal Park 3 *", in the restaurant of which from 21 pm to 2 am live Bulgarian music played and sang. If you are not music lovers, then it will bother you in about 5 days. There are three discos in the entire village of Kranevo, there is nowhere else to go. Most of all, paid toilets killed us everywhere, even in the restaurant where you sit.

The hotel has a pretty decent pool. The hotel room, of course, is so-so, but it's 2 stars, you couldn't count on more. We went to the sea, so we did not pay much attention to the number. We only had breakfast, in two weeks we went there 4 times. Tasty only tomatoes, cheese and compotes, the rest of the average scall. In addition, in many restaurants the food is tasty and not expensive. So do not take dinner at the hotel.
Walk to the sea along the main street with a calm step for 10-15 minutes, i. e. about 1 km. The beach is clean and cleaned. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, about 4 euros per day, but you can just lie on the sand outside the paid area, which is also excellent. The sea is clean. It gets cold in the evenings, take warm clothes. Along the coast we reached Albena (2 km), prices are 2-3 times higher. Take dollars or euros with you, rubles are exchanged at a terrible rate (do not take it). From Bulgaria, carefully pack all alcohol and check it in your luggage, otherwise they will take it away immediately after passport control !!!
TOTAL: the hotel is intended exclusively for young people under 25; do not be afraid to swear at the reception if something does not suit you (Bulgarians do not understand differently); be sure to take a tour of Balchik-Cape Kaliakra (very beautiful) and, if you have the means, to Istanbul (Turkey) - an awesome city! They also said that the excursion to Nessebar is good. We also went for a walk in Varna, wandered around the shops, went to McDonald's (a little more expensive than in St. Petersburg). In general, the second time I would not go to Bulgaria, and even more so to Kranevo. There are other countries in the world. . .
