Just arrived, the impression is good from the hotel. And now it is not 2, but 3 stars. There were no problems with accommodation. Almost everyone speaks Russian (at the reception for sure), a couple of people from the staff just did not speak. Breakfasts are monotonous, in principle quite normal for 3 stars, but for some reason the watermelons were not ripe, although in stores and on stalls the watermelons were already very ripe. There was a suspicion that yesterday's pastries, but basically I repeat everything is ok. Since we don’t eat meat, I can’t rate meat dishes : ) and they are the absolute majority. There are no porridges for breakfast, it’s good that they took custard porridge for the child.
Cleaned the room every day, leave two leva and change the linen. The pool is quite decent, in most hotels it is noticeably smaller. We were at the very beginning of the season and there were not many people. But what is immediately noticeable, a lot of Russian in the hotel. A couple of Germans, a little more Poles, and the rest are all Russians and they were just arriving. On the first floor there is internet (free wifi), only paid networks were caught from the room (access cards in the store for 10 days 20 lv).
The hotel is located next to the Albatross Hotel (children's camp) noisy discos until the night, at 23 o'clock they subside of course, but until that time it is noisy if you do not close the window. With the window closed, it's almost quiet.
The road to the sea is really dusty and not paved, but when we left there they flooded speed bumps - they will drive less. Local youth on shaggy stockings they have something like our toothpicks; )
The beach that is right next to the road is really more expensive than the rest, and there is a tendency to take money for a place (and not for an umbrella, for example). You either have to go 100m to the left (beyond the river) there will be a 3lv umbrella and a 3lv deck chair, or 200 meters to the right, it’s generally free, your umbrella will cost 6lv, it seems, right on the way to the beach. Also, about 1km to the left is a wild nudist beach, where mostly grandparents sunbathe ; -)
On the road near the beach, you can walk to Albena, but there’s not much to do there, all souvenirs, products are more expensive than in Kranevo, except to entertain a child at attractions - there are noticeably more of them.
We dined in Izvor, Bolgarka and Margarita. In Izvor it is good, but expensive and smells like turtles downstairs (it stinks to be honest). In the grinder opposite Izvora, the same dishes are 2 times cheaper, although we did not notice any differences in food (taking into account our preferences), but the menu is noticeably poorer. In addition, in the izvor, they frown noticeably when you leave a little tip. And in Bulgarian, on the contrary, I want to leave a couple of lions for service, as the people are very nice. The restaurant at the Margarita Hotel turned out to be an ideal option (500 meters towards the sea from Izvora / Bulgarian). A large menu, good prices and exceptionally pleasant owners of the hotel Margarita herself and her husband. We liked their hotel too ; ) I can also say about the Ajax restaurant (on the main street) where such a plump uncle barkers constantly sticks out, so two friends (they met at the resort) said that everything was overcooked there - I didn’t check it myself.
I will also add when you go to choose souvenirs - do not rush! The cents there are more than closer to the beach or are generally randomly set; ) It is worth going further and comparing, for example, confiture (rose jam) turned out to be 2.4 levs in a supermarket about opposite the izvora, instead of 3.5 levs in the only stall where they sell it on the main street. This supermarket is generally the cheapest in Kranevo - there are zaga creams and everything else cheaper than others.
In the golden sands there is a water park, quite a decent one, from Kranevo 30lv by taxi (round trip) it takes about 15 minutes to go there. It’s better not to go there all day - time will fly by quickly; )
And more excursions from the bureau are usually more expensive than going there by taxi, despite the fact that having arrived by taxi you can agree at least for the whole day. So we went to Nessebar - it turned out 4 and a half hours is not enough; ) Do not forget to bargain with taxi drivers - from the initial price of 180lv we easily dropped to 150lv, but it could have been less probably. Cars for rent from 60lv to 100lv per day (in the first case of a shaggy year of manufacture, in the last ford fiesta 2009), most require 3 years of experience (here I had a bummer). Gasoline 2lv per liter (1 euro). The roads are good (the ones by the sea).
In short, we liked it, we had a good rest, the main thing is not to forget to smear sunscreen on the first days, otherwise you will burn like us; )
