Hello!
I consider it my duty to tell you about this hotel and about the painful road. Since it was on the basis of reviews that she herself chose the tour.
In order to save money, I chose an average hotel in an unpromoted resort for a very relaxing holiday, away from Golden Sands, where there are parties all night.
Again, in order to save money, I chose the BUS!
When you ride alone, you run the risk of being placed next to an old man who doesn't smell very nice))
My seating on the bus was on the first floor near the door, there was no air conditioning above me and it was terrible! On top of that, the seat didn't fold down as I already had a luggage compartment behind me.
Departure from Kyiv was at 8.00 in the morning, while everyone was gathered at the border, they arrived at 21.00, 3 hours passed.
According to the schedule from the tour operator in Kranevo, arrival at 10.30 am, in fact we arrived at 13.00.
I remember counting (then from fresh memory) the road left at 31 o'clock!

It was very painful, you know, sitting in the pose of "sic" and also with a "smelling" old man next to it and with a non-folding seat.
Only one thing saved me, the driver didn’t want to hand out passports after the border, and he entrusted me with this responsible task (and here it is chuuuudo) when distributing, I saw a couple of empty seats on the 2nd floor at the end of the bus, moved, settled down, turned on the air conditioner, got dressed (at night it’s cold)) and rejoiced like an elephant)
Stops were every 3 hours, so I do not advise you to drink a lot.
The driver rarely chose free toilets, many did not like it.
I arrived in Kranevo, I didn’t take a taxi....walk from the highway to the hotel for about 15 minutes.
Placed only at 14.00.
I had 2 beds in my room, small. refrigerator, balcony (2 chairs on the balcony), 2 towels and TV.
About the shower room, there really is a hole at an angle where water flows, and what you wanted is not 5 * this is a budget vacation, the only inconvenience is to take rubber slippers and change shoes when you leave the shower, otherwise the dirt spreads, well, these are trifles as for me....
Dining room (why the dining room, and not the restaurant, now you will understand) - for dinners there was often cold food !!!! ! for dinner there were always: soups (maximum 2 types), the same salad for the entire period of my vacation from tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers and feta cheese, rice or potatoes, peaches (green) apples, oranges and plums, cheap tea, which ate-ate brewed. On the second, they offered several options from which you choose one!
Dinner is basically normal, there are few people, there is no flea market, you eat calmly, no one looks into your mouth, unlike BREAKFAST!!!!!!
Breakfast from 8 am to 10 am.
On the first day, I arrived at 8:30 and had to stand in line for another 30 minutes to get a spoonful of omelet, instant coffee, salad, and fruit.

The table on which everything stands is small, there are a lot of people, if you took fruit (they are at the very beginning), then it’s clear that you won’t be able to take an omelet with one hand and you stand a second time, it doesn’t work out differently, believe me, there are no more places, and you stand with these plates as a poor relative, I was simply outraged!
The next time I came at 7.50, I took a queue so as not to stand later with plates over someone's head, the queue usually gathered at 8.20, I was already leaving at that time.
A very big mine about the DINING ROOM, all the broken dishes (chipped) absolutely all !!!!
Breakfasts were the same throughout my stay, dinners more or less changed.
Now about the sea....
Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, umbrellas 5 lev, sunbed 3 lev.
There is an area a little to the right of the central entrance to the beach, there are free umbrellas, though full of holes, well, nothing)
The sand is clean, there are bars, toilets (paid for 0.50 leva), changing cabins and what pleased the RESAVERS) every 30-40 meters.
On the way to the beach, water, fruits, beer, etc. were sold. Prices are quite normal, I would even say cheap!
Beer for our UAH on the beach 8 UAH, in the markets 5-7 UAH.
A glass of peeled watermelon, melon - 5 UAH (a glass of 0.5 liters)
Hot dogs - 10 UAH.
The sea is clean, the beach is clean, lifeguards are inflated)
In the center you could eat for 10-15 UAH with your head!!!
prices differ from prices in Golden Sands by at least 2.5 times!
About the way back - this is very important, especially for those who are not from Kyiv, and who still have to go by train.
My bus was late for 3 hours, it's good that I was not alone at the bus stop, and those who are not the first time reassured me that such a delay is the norm for ours!
Back I had a place on the second floor, it’s good that it wasn’t on the first floor, this bus had a toilet, and the smell was terrible !!!
The drivers drove like crazy, on the turns, it was so scary!
Moreover, one couple said that their bus overturned on their way to Bulgaria and they were in the hospital for 9 hours! And their insurance up to one place covered the service for about 400 UAH in total!!!
I relate to such incidents - fate means fate.
And anything can happen to an airplane.
We arrived in Kyiv at 12 at night (the road took less than to Bulgaria, 25 hours like)

Many passengers were from Kharkiv, Luhansk and they had already missed their trains (the last ones that day).
Everyone went to the station and slept there!
My advice is not to buy tickets in advance!
You may think my review is negative, but it's not.
Overall, I enjoyed my vacation!
If you don't get hung up on the cons of the hotel and the long painful road Everything is VERY NOT EVEN BAD!! ! : ))
If you expect parties from Kranevo, then choose Golden Sands or Sunny Beach.
Of course, you can buy an air tour to Kranevo (it's about 100 euros per person more expensive, but you can also go on your own by car with a stop on the way at the hotel, for a good sleep; ))
That's probably what we'll do next time.
KRANEVO FOR A BUDGET QUIET FAMILY HOLIDAY OR FOR THOSE WHO ARE TIRED OF THE HUSSLE!!!
P. S. There were a lot of kids on the beach, both little ones and older ones, the location of the VEDREN Hotel is good, 5 minutes from the sea.
I almost forgot about one huge minus - there is a bar next to the hotel, the music is live there and the peasant plays the same songs from 20-00 to 12 at night !! ! The hotel administration cannot influence this in any way, but behind Vedren there is a small family hotel Maria 3 * it will not be so heard there.
