Хороший отель Good hotel

Rested in Pancho 2 * from 30.07. 16 to 13.08. 16 with his wife. Tour operator - "Baltic Coast" (St. Petersburg). The air carrier is Bulgarian Airlines. Plus - a convenient time of arrival in Varna: 09:25 and departure: 02:40. Minus - the plane is old, dirty, low-back seats in the plane. In flight they give only a croissant and juice / water / coffee. Transfer from Varna airport to the hotel and back: the owner of the Plamen hotel took him in his car. He is not only a good chef, but also a good driver. Drove quickly (about 30 minutes) and without problems. About the hotel. Settled in number 9 on the 3rd floor. The room is good, clean, spacious, high ceilings, full-length windows. Windows and balcony - towards the sea (see photo). The downside is that in the neighboring hotel in the afternoon and evening the children were very noisy. Meals at the hotel. On tour. The package included breakfast only. Dinner was taken from time to time. Everything is delicious. Dinner for one person in Pancho - 4 euros (8 lev). For comparison: dinner in Kranevo: 10-15 euros (20-30 levs). On st. Black sea roast chickens on a spit. Inexpensive and tasty. Were in the restaurants closest to Pancho: Laguna, Anchor. Did not like. The Laguna is not tasty and somehow dirty. In Ankor, the waitress does not understand Russian. Brought not the salad that was ordered, instead of chicken liver - beef. In short, Pancho is tastier and cheaper. About air conditioners. IMHO, going south in the summer and not booking a room with air conditioning is a fatal mistake. A month before the trip, I booked an air-conditioned room with the owner of the hotel, Valentina, by email. mail: kranevopancho@abv. bg. Pancho has 6 rooms without air conditioning (No. 13-18) on the 4th floor (attic). I talked with those who were settled on the 4th floor in a room without air conditioning. It was hard for them, to put it mildly, and they very much regretted that they had not booked a room with air conditioning. I agree with those who write that it is hard to go to the beach and back for 20 minutes in the heat. Especially children and the elderly. They better take a hotel on the first line. On a 5-point scale, the Pancho 2 * hotel can be put a solid "four". Sea. Warm, but out of 14 days 11 were stormy. There are no breakwaters, so the waves are quite large. Because of this, the water was cloudy (sand, algae). For 9 days, lifeguards hung out a yellow flag (be careful, it is advisable not to swim alone). 2-3 days there was a red flag (danger, swimming is prohibited). On such days the wind was so strong that it tore out and broke umbrellas. According to local residents, jellyfish appear in the sea in the second half of August. Beach. Where stationary umbrellas and sun loungers are installed, it is dirty (cigarette butts, garbage). The advantage of this part of the beach is that there are lifeguards (relevant for children). We went to a wild beach towards Albena. The sand is clean and there are fewer people. What I didn’t like on the beach was a pack of stray dogs that crap anywhere. For some reason, purebred dogs are walked on the beach by their owners (see photo). It is better to swim away from the place where the Golyamata River flows into the sea. Wastewater enters such rivers (this, in particular, can be seen in the place where this river is crossed by Shipka Street). In Bulgaria, in July-August, the peak of rotavirus. Therefore, doctors recommend that when bathing, water does not enter the mouth. (Actually, first of all, for children). Advantages of Kranevo. * A small village, not many people, quite quiet and calm, prices are 1.5 times less than in large resorts in Bulgaria. Minuses. * Dirty. Particularly annoying were the overcrowded garbage cans that stank in the sun. . Garbage collection is irregular. Garbage cans are placed on the sidewalks or directly on the roadway (see photo). * Nowhere to walk. Sidewalks are not everywhere, but where they are, in some places, in such a state that you can break your legs. You have to walk on the roadway where cars pass. You can take a walk on the territory of the Termo Palace 5 * hotel (decorative plants, flowers, sculptures, benches, hammocks, playground) (see photo). * Despite the mesh on the balcony door, insects flew into the room. Turned on the fumigator at night. In general, in Kranevo there are some small (2-5 mm) flies that bite painfully. The bite site hurts for a long time. Pharmacy at st. Cherno More bought a cream for insect bites.
